For St. Patricks Day I enjoyed a fun vacation in Savannah Georgia where I visited my sister Rachel and her husband James. Here are a few fun things to do when you visit Savannah Georgia…

Savannah is a beautiful southern town with huge trees, old buildings, and rich, slightly haunted history. It is home to many good old boys, southern belles, and art students as it contains the prestigious art school, SCAD (The Savannah College of Art and Design).

Below is a video of my weekend with Daniel Vitalis and friends. On Saturday, Oct. 31, 2009, we attended Daniel’s 6 hour Elixir Craft Mastery course which was awesome! Then we went to a fun halloween party that evening and a nature walk and lecture with Daniel the next day…

One of my passions in life is being in nature and foraging for wild food. I love how much I have learned from my foraging adventures. Nature can teach us so much about life, flow, and abundance. I often times find an abundance of FREE food all around me, such as these tasty persimmons…

Just like in the video above, there truly is a plethora of abundance and happy surprises all around us. First it takes knowing what you desire, and then it takes believing you can have it. Those persimmon trees were there for years before I “discovered” them. I didn’t “find” them until after I became excited about foraging my food! And just like the wild reishi “magically” showing up (for those of you who are unfamiliar with reishi, it is a Chinese medicinal mushroom tonic with very nourishing, strengthening and healing properties… It was consumed by emperors and noblemen for centuries), when we have fun and go for what we want, good things will follow:)

Check out my fun adventure on Maui…

The road to Hanna was awesome! We actually made it all the way to Hanna this time. Last time we only made it to the black sand beach before it was dark and we had to turn around. Maui has some amazing Hawaii Waterfalls! We did some fun hiking and I was also able to swim along side a sea turtle in a small Hawaii bay by my hotel!!! They are such beautiful creatures and so gentle:) I feel so connected to Maui. It is truly my HOME AWAY From HOME.

We had so much fun surprising my sister Amy with a fun Hawaii get-away for her birthday!! Here are just a few of our adventures…

I always have tons of fun on my Hawaii trips! Eating Fresh Noni from Noni Trees, Watching the Sunset at South Point, Kayaking in Kealakekua bay, Tiki Torches, and Sea Turtles!! LIFE IS GOOD!! Stay tuned for part two next week;)

“Volcanoes are one way Earth gives birth to itself.” ~Robert Gross

What a strange feeling I had when exploring Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawaii. I felt the deep, dark wisdom of mother earth. I was taught the importance of embracing all parts of myself. The Earth has dark, cold places, and so do I. And yet, eventually her fierce eruptions and smoke creates a beautiful, fertile island. Similarly, out of the muck and mud in our life we can rise to even greater heights than we thought possiblbe…

Today is day 10 of my Master Cleanse and I have been playing in and exploring Tennessee… We went into a huge underground cave and took a glass bottom boat ride on the largest underground lake in the USA! Then we went on a beautiful scenic drive, played in the Tellico river, and took a hike near the majestic Bald River waterfall! I had my big glass of lemonade with me and several people asked me if it was moonshine:). I went to Applebees with my family and took my jug of lemonade in with me . . . I think it’s a little amusing to my family, and the waiters, when I take my own food into a restaurant:) (as an interesting side note, my sister told me my body odor smells like food. I have been told this before and have noticed it myself. Has any other raw foodist experienced this chemical change in their body?)

I feel so grateful for today! It was a refreshing time to reconnect with nature and renew my enthusiasm for life! Tomorrow I have a beautiful drive back to Dallas.

I am finally editing and uploading my Hawaii videos:) Horse back riding in Hawaii was so much fun!! It might have been my favorite part…

If you ever find yourself on the Big Island of Hawaii, check out Kings Trail Rides. They will take you to a lovely bay which is not well known or used, therefor the water is super clear and pristine. Plus, if you are an exotic fruit lover like me, there are plenty of Noni trees:)

The first time I went to California was for this Breath of Love workshop. I finally know what the hype is all about. California has everything… Ocean, Mountains, Dessert, Fresh Grown Food and Perfect Weather! I fully enjoyed soaking up this beautiful environment while I was transforming through my breath…

Breath of Love is a type of Connected Rebirthing Breath. When you breathe in you breathe in as deep and full as possible… representing how much you are willing to take in from life. When you breathe out it is effortless and quick. You never force your exhale, you just let your breath go… representing how much you trust that you are taken care of by God and the Universe. You always keep your breath flowing and connected. This is the way babies, dogs and many other animals breathe. Breath of Love is one of the most powerful techniques I have come across for inner clarity, joy and transformation.

“Wild food connects you immediately to the land. Eating wild food growing in your area acclimates you to the environment . . . Wild fruits are the sustenance of the immortals. Fruit has tremendous spiritual power. The more natural (non-hybridized) the fruit is, the greater its spiritual value”

Enjoy!
