Green is everywhere and it makes my heart feel so good. It's nice to be outside and look around at this beautiful planet that we live on...we are so blessed. Right now is a great time to meditate outside and send lots of love vibrations to other parts of the world that are not having the easiest of times...we are as a collective in a chaotic time, but we as individuals have the choice to go into our hearts and focus on sending light and love, and holding a higher vision for our planet as a whole. I'm sure many of you feel the call to be this way, but the problems of the world such as in Japan, Libya, and even in our own homes, tend to pull at us and make us want to be in fear, too. We have a choice though, and when we choose love, we send out so many more positive vibrations into our universe than we do negative.
If you'd like to hold space for the world together, please mark your calendar for the 1st of every month for the Riverside Raw Food Potluck and Drumming at Sally Dutczaks home in Kempner. The next one will be April 3rd. Dinner starts at 5 and the drumming is after. It is a fabulous time! There is a lot of raw food, but there are a few people who bring healthy cooked dishes as well, so please do not feel limited on what you can eat. The drumming is a lot of fun and is a sacred space for sending out your intentions for the month ahead, as well as prayers for those who need them.
To learn how to make delicious raw food dishes as well as why eating raw is so beneficial, please come to my Raw Foods Class on April 23rd, at Central Texas College, from 9-12 pm. You get plenty of food at the class to try, so no need to bring anything. Learn how to make a raw food dish, dessert, and drink. I am still deciding on what to make, so if there's any raw dishes you are eager to learn, let me know and I will do my best to make it! :) To sign up, call (254)-526-1991.

Here is a short story by my friend, Carmela:
The Broken Lock
My son came home today with a broken combination lock, he was pretty excited about it, he said his friend gave it to him. He said he is a good friend because he gave him the lock. I picked it up and looked at it and said son this is broken, it doesn't work, he said well sometimes it does. I thought to myself and was getting ready to say something to my son but stopped, why would a kid give him a nasty broken combination lock and be proud of it, and why would my son think that was a good friend. Maybe as adults we teach our children wrong, what if the little boy had no money, what if that was the only thing he owned and the lock was precious to him, would it then make it a grander gift to my son? Life has so many lessons if we would stop and think about them before passing judgment or criticism onto others. We are responsible for what we teach our children. My son has the right view, he gave me something, and that's a good friend, not about what he gave, but the thought, he liked me well enough to give me something. We to often look over these things in life and become hard, judgmental and critical, and pass this on to our children. I think it's time we start seeing life in a new light.
Such a heart felt story! Thank you so much, Carmela. <3
Currently, I am in the process of putting together a Yoga/Raw Food/Meditation Day Retreat for people interested. Does a day of about 3-4 yoga classes, meditations, raw food demos with food for you to eat, and plenty of relaxation time including reflexology and massage treatments sound like something that you would be interested in? It will be an entire Saturday all about you! I just want to know how many on my email list think this sounds like a good plan. I have had a few people already tell me that they would enjoy something that is local and affordable along these lines.
I hope your life is blessed, and I send many blessings of love, light and joy to you, and hope that no matter what's going on in the world at this time, that you are in the now, and in your bliss.<3
