You can't out exercise a bad diet. And you can't outrun your hormones or check ✔ out when life sends you stress. All of these cause a chronic inflammatory cycle. When we are out of alignment within, we our out of alignment at the atomic level. If you are ready to shift, it starts with the basics. Then you leap into a new you. First you get the foundation, then you get the shift. 

The movement to accumulate less...eat food with less ingredients...take in less toxins.... balance your happiness with less stress....and of course less sugar, less gluten and less dairy are truly growing so rapidly for big reasons and I have to tell you that if you're looking to make some changes it's easier than you think.

Less ingredients is as simple as adding more whole foods into your diet.

Now is the time for you to join us to change your food choices, your movement and your mindfulness. It can be so complicated because wouldn't you agree that our world is more toxic than it was ten years ago (both in environment, nutrition and emotionally/socially)? And wouldn't you agree that our foods are more toxic than they were... heavy on the herbicides? the sugar content? And the foods we just can't digest well.

There is a lot to figure out about being vegan. Raw fruits and vegetables grown in nutrient-rich soils already contain the enzymes needed for us to digest the plants’ proteins and carbohydrates - yes they do. But so many people eat cooked, canned, and prepared foods that can destroy the naturally-occurring enzymes that help us with digestion.

In the last fourteen years I have tweaked and changed some parts of my diet, learning more about how to get these enzymes into my body every day with my combination of food, cold processed supplements, and daily mindfulness & joy.

I think I've done pretty well. What about you?? You most likely don't live inna tropical paradise where you can just eat all of these abundant raw vegetables and fruits (and there's are some benefits to cooking like with broccoli steaming, etc) ... So I choose easy.

My daughter loves strawberry protein & fiber smoothies. She doesn't even realize when I sneak a little something extra in there. Are you the sneaky parent? Do you smoothie with your family? Ha I even got my 80 year old mother to smoothie. What is yours fav recipe? I'll show you mine if you show me yours

For anyone trying to balance out gut issues, lose weight, or just sneak a little more vegetables and fruit into your diet, smoothies are an amazing way to do this. We don't grow enough wild strawberries to fill our needs, yet; but watch for the post coming about the wild strawberry and how amazing it is for our bodies and the earth. 

Extreme temps over here in the pacific northwest calls for quick meal prep. We have gotten up to 111 in this massive heat wave. The Taste Republic cauliflower linguine takes just three minutes. It isn't vegan, has egg, so you can also use just a red lentil pasta about as quickly. With a quick alfredo sauce made of veggie yogurt and a side salad, it is what my family said was the best dinner. I was so happy to be able to take care of them, without heating up the entire house.

Present moment is where true manifestation happens. You are a soul living a human existence in a body. Love that body and treat it well.

I was undernourished, unhappy, wishing for an answer before I created this lifestyle. I was scared that I wouldn't see my daughter grow up. I was over 70 pounds more than I had ever been in my life. I tried traditional diets. I tried the whole grains. I tried the all protein. I tried them all. Nothing worked. Then I went vegan and started using whole food supplementation for balancing out my system. I used my food as my medicine and it worked.

First I was able to walk. Then lift some weight, then kick some bootay!! I became certified to teach fitness classes, became a certified personal trainer.

Then I got it...wholism! I went in for a diploma in nutrition and became certified in aromatherapy. I have done the W30 fully vegan, and soy free, although I have leaned in and out of Paleo Vegeo (paleo vegetarian) many times. I'm still learning as my body changes and my gut heals, but it's been the best part of my life. I wouldn't change a thing!! Are you pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan? You have to find out what works for you.

For me the dairy doesn't work, the eggs don't work, and the meat doesn't work. You each have to find what nourishes your body best. Don't listen to what works for me, listen to your own body. Find your own nutritional truth. I started this page as support because paleo and vegan was not even conceptualized. That's what I was, and had no resources. I'm so grateful that this page has grown to support so many of you, and that so many of you have become my dear friends.

Much love and happiness! —

This is a perfect breakfast to try! The soluble fiber content in apples or other fruits to promote weight loss and gut health. Your microbiota desires that rich fiber to feed on. In addition, fruits are good source of antioxidants which may protect your cells against free radicals. Don't leave them out of your diet. My husband calls them, "free foods".

Heat a little coconut oil or other option over low to medium head. Chop and dice 1 large apple, or pear if you choose. Also chop one cup of diced nuts, or I love for my allergies to use sacha inchi seeds or tigernuts (which are actually tiny tubers). Add these to the warmed pan and saute until your apples start to soften. Then add in one cup of non-dairy milk (no sugar added if you are trying to lower your sugar content) and 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1/4 cup of coconut chips, one tbsp of flaxseed, 1 tbsp of chia, a couple of diced dates. Bring it all to a boil and then simmer for a few minutes until your apples are beautifully soft, and enjoy. You can add a little raw fair trade cacao, the Sweet Notella, extra non-dairy milk or yogurt, or even more diced fruits to top your "cereal" and enjoy a beautiful breaky. Cheers!

It can be hard to kick off from the Sugar Monsters. We all have this inner craving for carbohydrates, and anything refined and simple is a fast source for our bodies. Are you ready to start the change?? Then you’re in luck because that will be the focus of  the Paleo Vegeo community this month.

Let's start by discussing healthy, natural alternatives to refined sugar for those who aren't ready to leap at the all in focus of no added sugar.. You can use them to sweeten your coffee, add extra flavor to your plain non-dairy yogurt or whenever you want to add a touch of sweetness to your dish without indulging in refined sugar.

Stevia is one of the most popular natural sweeteners. This herb which comes from South America is 300 times sweeter than refined sugar. It contains zero calories, so is a great choice if you’re trying to lose weight. Plus, it has no glycemic impact, so it’s a perfect refined sugar alternative if you’re diabetic. Stevia is also very easy to digest which means you won’t suffer from any of the digestive problems that are often associated with sugar substitutes.

Coconut sugar is created by heating the sap from coconut palms. Unlike refined sugar, coconut sugar doesn’t de-stabilize your energy levels, so is ideal if you want to stay productive and focused during the day. Like stevia, it’s also a great choice if you suffer from diabetes because it won’t disrupt your blood sugar levels. Another great thing about coconut sugar is that it supplies your body with nutrients as it sweetens and is a good source of calcium, iron, potassium and zinc.

Date sugar is made by grinding down dehydrated dates into sugar sized granules. As you’d expect from the production process, it has the same rich and sweet flavor of fresh dates, and shares all their health benefits. These health benefits include promoting healthy digestion, strengthening your heart and lowering your blood pressure. The main negative of date sugar is that it doesn’t melt or dissolve easily, so it’s not a good choice if you want to sweeten your drinks

Maple syrup contains around half the calories of refined sugar and is a much more nutritious choice. It’s loaded with antioxidants which protect your body’s cells from damage and reduce the visible signs of aging. Maple syrup is also a brilliant source of the manganese and zinc which boost your metabolism and your immune system. In addition to this, it’s great for your skin and can protect against skin blemishes, dry skin and redness. Finally, maple syrup has been shown to protect against a range of chronic ailments and diseases including arthritis, cancer, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease and heart disease.

I have put together a beautiful program for you for this month, to release the sugar monsters within. I'm just waiting on Patreon to catch up to my creations and you will be able to join the community and even download this month's guide tot he program filled with recipes and education. Until Patreon is open - you can always get the guide online and go it with the Facebook group. If you are struggling with weight gain, difficulty losing weight, lack of energy, and digestive issues, it might be due to how much sugar you consume. Sugar is in almost everything you buy in a package or box, from your bacon to your milk. 

The following information is going to guide you through the process of cutting out sugar with a simple detox diet. Click on the link below to get the Sugar Detox guide, recipes, weekly meal plan, and my five day jump start to living the Paleo Vegeo way.

I decided about a month ago that I was going to finally take the plunge. No, I am not going to go ice hiking with Hof and dunk my body into an ice vat. Yes, I am taking a detox from social media... my new chocolate ... my new addiction.

I realized that over the last year the amount of time I was spending opening up Facebook and Instagram on my phone was growing exponentially. It's natural because as we make friends, we want to connect. When we connect, we get that big jolt to our reward center. As a fourth generation alcoholic, that's not something that works for me in the healthiest way. My drinking was big in my youth, and I left it behind. However as my need for social media was growing, my need for just a little bit of cider, or whiskey, or rum was also growing. It was apparently clear to me that this addiction to social media was a gateway drug.

So I started prepping. I do business online, which means I wanted to create and schedule content for my followers. As well, I also wanted to prepare myself with an agenda of "things to do". About a week before Lent (which starts tomorrow) I decided to just go ahead and take the apps off my phone. I felt like someone had cut my arm off. It was an awful wake up to how dependent on that fix I had become.

I started trying to tune into what my body was feeling, and I also may have carb loaded through some of the emotions I was going through. It's not unusual for an addict to replace their drug of choice with sugar. This is why the focus for recovery is a healthier way of eating. Sugar is also a gateway drug.

I will keep you all updated as I go through this journey, but so far I am talking in a more complex and concrete manner with my friends. I am learning to ask for what I need, and share how I am feeling without gifs. I am going to be doing a meditation a day, and trying to add a short yoga sequence into my workout program (which has been put off for a week because I had hormones injected into my right butt cheek... more on that to come soon). It will be interesting to see how much I downsize my social media interactions when I return. At this point I may not want to put the apps back on my phone because I am starting to feel the release.

I will say that today as I was waiting for a video to finish encoding for a new project I am working on, I opened a new tab and clicked on Facebook. I immediately closed it and was in shock and awe that I had created this programming of not being able to have the patience to even sit with my feelings for a minute or two. This has come up a lot in my life recently, this idea of understanding that timing is what it is, and patience is part of that program. You may feel like you are already there, and rush into something rather than taking the time to process how you feel and make your choices worth it. This is another lesson that I will have a lot of gratitude for as this detox completes.

So I will be finished on April 9th, and until then from time to time I will update on how I am. Wish me luck, and learning, because it is time to transform this programming into something more aligned with my holistic desires.

Depression...
Irritability...
Fatigue...
Insomnia...

Maybe you have Adrenal Fatigue &
perhaps Copper Toxicity??

Having been a copper craver my whole life, I started looking into what copper toxicity really was. When you have a copper toxicity in your tissues from lack of copper binding proteins, it turns out you'll have a struggle with your histamine levels as well. High histamine symptoms are often equated with estrogen dominance symptom because of under-methylation. Your adrenals become the innocent victims of this toxic realm. I remember several years ago at my doctor's appointment when she was like, "Wow, your adrenals are shot!" Thank you so much.

Part of the story is when B12 slows down histamine release, which is why vegans often struggle the right balance of histamine levels, the result is small amounts of PCOS symptoms that seem to come and go. But if you are an under-metalator... B12 is not your friend, and you cannot be vegan... that is what they say. We need B12 dearly, and they say you should get it naturally not in supplementation. Luckily there are so many good ways, like shots and highly absorbable B12 options now, but it was interesting to go through this process. The worst was having my mast cells going crazy, especially with the agitation of how my body already deals with allergens and mold. 




The best sources of B12 in foods are: Sardines, Salmon, Tuna, Cod, Lamb, Scallops. One serving of any of these will give 100% of your B12 needed. And when I take a regular b-complex... look out... my anxiety goes through the roof... its folate I need not folic acid. And it seems to be that I cannot just use a regular methylated B12 either. What works best for me is a combo B12 with adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin. I have a chewable that I take along side my whole food supplement that has been a winning combination for me.

How do Histamine Levels Figure Into All Of These Issues?

I'm So FROZEN (have you seen Frozen II?) ... Oh wait, that's just excess histamine release ...

The extreme chill you feel could be excess histamine release. As well symptoms that appear to be allergy related may be more obscure than you think. For example, sneezing may be an allergy symptom, but muscle pain, insomnia and acid reflux may also be signs of allergy. These are all signs of excessive histamines. Since histamine has a large amount of functions within the human body, the effects of high histamine blood levels can vary widely.

Current studies have shown that there are direct links between histamines, the irritants produced in an allergic reaction, and the nervous system. People with too much histamine in their brains experience anxiety and depression. And detox raises histamine levels. I first started to figure out histamines when I would come home from the gym and an hour later is when I'd start to freeze and want to curl up in a ball under a mountain of blankets.

The symptoms of toxicity may also be more obscure than you think. You may have headaches, joint pains, colitis and even poor coordination may be signs of toxicity. Another sign is skin eruptions and rashes. I woke up with a nice little rash this morning, too.

Your body has a unique detoxification system. It comes with many fail-safe mechanisms. A toxin may simply be detoxified and rendered harmless – usually by the liver. This is often accomplished through enzymes with the help of antioxidants. These poisons may be turned into useful tools, such as when blood toxins are turned into bile to help us digest fat from our diet.

Some toxins are difficult to detoxify; they may be stored permanently in fat. Other toxins and allergens are stored temporarily in water in the lymphatic system. Detoxification, stress, and even like I said, exercise can cause these symptoms. This is why people get "puffy" with allergies or toxicity. I know you've had that issue before. These high-histamine levels often are due to a metabolic imbalance that results from under-methylation. Sound familiar??

I think I'm going to kick up my Acerola Berry and Citrus oils today, because both of these help release those toxins that my body just wants to dig deep and hold on to.

The key is you need to clear out more than just your colon. You need to clear out your system all the way through to the tissues. That can't be done in a quick cleanse. It takes a natural, healthy routine in your life. I plan to do a quick two week cleanse in the new year... so make sure you follow along.

I think my body is ready for some renewal before for this new year. Want to join me? I offer a clean two weeks every month, so just jump in when you are ready. Connect with me after the holiday and get your wellness consult or quantum biofeedback session and see how I can help. Believe me that you can feel better if you work through your wellness process with a support team.

January is going to be an amazingly busy month, so for a lot of my clients that may mean email consults when you can't find a space for a one-on-one. I will be increasing my online lives and so you will get to see some of my sunny (or not so sunny) personality on Facebook and IGTV. I do have one opening for a holistic branding or book authorship client, and one design client spot currently open for January. Don't wait until they are filled to decide you want to work with me.

This is something I plan for every year, and so I wanted to talk about how we plan for life. Because if you don't plan life, it will create on it's own. My number one priority is to live an elevated joy-filled life that feels as balanced as possible. I get this with a variety of items that are my Core alignments.

1 - Choose healthy for me
2 - Actively engage in parenting in a loving manner
3 - Connect to those I love
4 - Pursue with awareness in everything I do

If I were to sleep in, eat junk, close myself off (even when you ache and want to), spend hours online, let the house fall into chaos ... none of that would be aligned to who and where I want to be in this life. For me I found that everything came back to wellness. When I pull out all of the punches and wake myself up to the possibilities and manifest my dreams it all comes back to my wellness. If I am not in it, I cannot give 100% to anything. So I have to honor my number one priority by getting all of those whole foods, moving and grounding, taking time to unwind, being in the moment and aware of my desires and why they are in existence at this time. I have had to learn the art of saying 'no'. Sometimes we can't do it, and that's okay.

There is this Principal of Progressive Overload that I learned about in my fitness certifications. It is based on the fact that when the amount of exercise (or overload) is progressively increased, the body continues to adapt. When the amount of your purpose fueled tasks are performed without momentary failure, your personal goals will be developed into reality. When the amount of items pop up in your life that has nothing to do with your alignment, the chaos and obstacles will continue to increase. You will adapt in a manner that will undermine everything you are trying to achieve.

I want you to focus in on three key areas of your alignment this month. Frequency, Intensity, Duration. Whenever you look at items on your project planner, calendar, or to-do list ask yourself the following... Am I doing this frequently enough or too frequently? To get where I want to go do I need to rev up the intensity, or am I plowing over others and missing an opportunity to listen and enjoy the moments? Do I need to do this for a longer duration, or am I putting in too much time for this task?

I am like a giant satellite. Being intuitive I gain so much knowledge from the fringe of who everyone is, what their emotions are, what they desire... and then whatever I feel gets thrown out there full on and broadcast to everyone. So that intensity and plowing can sometimes block opportunities if I don't realize I am broadcasting too much frequency, am coming on too intense, and I am not allowing for patience to play into the manifesting process. Like my child I have ZERO patience for anything ... although all of the best things come to those that wait.

I know that all of our personal growth really depends on getting those three items right for everything you choose to spend your time doing. So make sure you are asking these dimensional questions because this will either align your progress, or not. We have moved a lot in 2019, which is why I really need to take the next few weeks to rejuvenate my heart, my soul and my body. When I return to clients on January 6th, I expect that I will be even more open, more joyful, more aware of the possibilities and desires for this new year.

Much love,

The early pioneers of both wellness and network marketing were motivated by the sense that it was possible to create a better life than the conventional routes offered - better personal health and better economic health, respectively. Now the 'alternatives' of yesterday have become the economic powerhouses of today and tomorrow. - Paul Zane Pilzer

So I recently snagged one of the sought after cheese makers from this Canadian company. I have begun an experiment of making cheese. I will share as I go through each one, and let you know how it goes. We've been on a fermentation vibe lately. I grabbed this awesome cabbage and we've got our New Year's sauerkraut started as well. This baby from a local farm was 14.5 pounds! She was glad to put it down.


So then I decided to make my cheese, and experiment number one is completed.

Recipe is 4 cups, 2 tbsp, 1/2 tsp and 2 tbsp of each in order below... followed by a large four tbsp of potato starch. WOWZERS.

Flax milk + lemon juice + salt + seasoning .... and then + potato starch + love = cheese!!!


I used the Good Karma Foods flax milk, and I seasoned this one with garlic and rosemary. Very soft, took thirty-six hours rather than the two hours they say you need for regular whole milk cheese. The reason I decided to add potato starch at the last-minute before bed to solidify is that most vegan cheeses that I look at have potato starch in them. That is what really brought it to to this stand alone texture rather than just being a spread over the last 12 hours.

My working theory is that the fats aren't enough, and that cheese requires carbohydrates. So I decided that I would make a carbohydrate rich coconut milk cheese next. Turns out that coconut milk does not create curds... at all. But hey, it does make the best non-dairy coffee creamer, so win win. I did everything the same, and when I added the lemon it almost foamed out of the bowl. Note to self that coconut milk and acid actually equals a volcano.


One another note regular whole milk dairy gets cooked for twelve to fourteen minutes. I have found so far that vegan beverages will boil over after about 8 or 9 minutes max.

That moves on to experiment three, which I decided to try to make cheese for my daughter from goat milk kefir. My husband says that kefir is already fermented and cannot be made into cheese. But it is my understanding that you can make a sort of mizithra style cheese with kefir. So that is what I am working on now, a guacamole seasoned goat cheese, while I try to determine what I want to try next. I am thinking that I want to try to make a milk from maybe tigernuts, and try to make that into a cheese. I have seen recipes for almond milk cheese, and nut cheese seems to be the vegan choice. Tigernuts as a tuber are going to have the some carbohydrates. The Kite Hill ricotta is just almond milk (Water, Almonds), salt, enzymes, tartaric Acid, and cultures. So tigernuts may be the way to go.

I also want to try to make my own flax milk and try that because I don't know if it was the peas or the flax that made curds in the cheese I was able to make with experiment one.

The cheese experiments continue...

With clients I talk a lot about how we turn a belief into a truth and it creates a space of lack or blocks out what we truly need. I work with a lot of fact clearings so that we can be open to the awareness of body, mind and soul.

So in this group today:
Fist person: Fiber is unnecessary and makes you ill, humans do not have the enzymes to break it down.
Second person: I think that's the point. It bulks up your stools and makes your bowels function as they are intended to function to move waste products out of your system.
First person: Not at all, research the Masai and other tribes who ate mostly carnivorous, zero bowel cancer and the like.

Uhhhh...... I don't even know where to go with that beyond different environmental biomes...

Inuit prior traditional diet: high fat from wild animals, seaweed, berries, roots, and fiber from the dinner sitting in the stomachs of the wild animals they ate (yes they ate that) and also raw and fermented so not cooked animals. Different gut microbiome.

Maasai prior traditional diet: large amounts of milk, and blood from cows, and soups derived from wild collected herbs. Berries and other wild fruits supplement the diet. Different DNA. Have a gene mutation that allows for high binding of saturated fats, and genes to digest raw milk. Different gut biome, as well.

Our intestinal epithelium is covered with a dense layer of mucus to prevent translocation of the gut microbiota into underlying tissues. More than 80% of the molecular weight of this mucus is due to oligosaccharide (carbohydrate) side chains. Since dietary carbohydrates are the main source of nutrients for the gut microbiota, the mucus layer is an alternative source of host-derived glycans when you are not giving the living bacteria in your body the food it requires. Even in the Inuit, traditional eating was based in hunting, fishing and gathering a great variety of species of wildlife plants, not just animals, that provide rich cultural and nutritional benefits to their microbiota.

I have what is called Lipoprotein(a) issues and so if I ate a carnivore diet I would end up dead. You may have heard Bob Harper had a heart attack after he stopped being vegan, which he then found out that he has these stickier blood platelets rather than fluffy platelets. For me it has to be a high plant based diet, which also is really great for my MTHFR mutation to get lots of whole food based folate.

As well, there is a molecule called TMAO that is increased by L-carnitine, which then increases atherosclerotic disease progression (especially in those with the APOE - Alzheimer's gene variant). The redder the meat, the higher its carnitine content. I think anyone wanting to be vegan, or carnivore or any extreme diet away from a macro-balanced diet should have their genetics and the TMOA and Lp(a) tests in hand.

So let's just say that you cannot take a person that lives in an urban apartment with carpet, formaldehyde, BPAs, glyphosate (in their meat and their high fats) with a modern microbiome and say "I just don't eat fiber and I will be alright." There is more evidence in the association of the colony of aliens living in our body, and our overall wellness. When you are eating high meat and most people can't afford 100% pastured, raised in New Zealand, happy roaming animals; you are eating what has been put into the animal. The mold in the ears, the antibiotics, the sprayed grains. It gets into the organs, the muscles (you know that part you carnivores love all that marbling), and the bones ... hello collagen. Have you tested how much glyphosate is in your urine to see how your diet is holding up to the real tests?

So what about this this spray? The WHOs International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) declared glyphosate as a "probable carcinogen" in 2015. Four years and it's still here! Also the EWG study tested 21 cereals and snack products for glyphosate and found 17 of then contained glyphosate at levels considered unsafe for children. As I shared the other day federal organic rules don’t explicitly prohibit hydroponic growers from spraying prior to certification, which means that there is a loophole where a conventional hydroponic grower can switch to organics practically overnight and then become certified organic.

There are two distinct issues that I get very angry about when I look at this product. First is what it does to the shikimate pathway. Glyphosate blocks this pathway in connection with the human microbiome which contains trillions of bacteria which play crucial roles in our body. This pathway is used by bacteria, fungi, algae, parasites, and as humans we are dependent because this pathway that plants and probiotic bacteria use to produce vitamin B9 (folate) and the aromatic amino acids, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan are essential to us. Consider what is happening when you have low folate and aromatic amino acids in your system. Just look up MTHFR if you want to find out what low folate creates in your system.

In breast cancer cell lines it has been demonstrated that glyphosate can induce cellular proliferation via estrogen receptors. Why do you think this is? Well if water soluble hormone binds to its extracellular membrane receptor, and in a cancer cell, activation may lead to: a) Increased cell proliferation, b) Decreased apoptosis, c) Enhanced motility, d) Angiogenesis.... Glyphosate is water soluble. (also a chelating agent, a chemical that bonds to minerals.... so many ways it can leave your body nutritionally lacking)

Sauerkraut (and sauerkraut juice) and apple cider vinegar contain acetobacter, one of the very few microbes that can metabolize glyphosate. In fact a study published in the December 2014 issue of the Journal of Environmental & Analytical Toxicology found that the oral application of certain natural substances were able effectively reduce urinary levels of glyphosate. They used the following: fulvic acids, humic acids, activated charcoal, bentonite clay and sauerkraut juice.

I just put my large batch in the fermenter. You can find a small fermenter at a home brew store. Use the best salt you can find, and the best quality cabbage when making your own. Put ACV on your food, or take it with your meals. I don't know enough about RESTORE but it has the humic substances. I only use calcium bentonite clay (a green clay) is the rarest form of clay in the Smectite family. According to Raymond Dextreit (Our Earth, Our Cure), green clays are not only the most desirable, but the only type recommended for ingestion and approved for ingestion by the FDA.I use the brand from Fiji and it is milled with a 325 screen and has a 30 to 1 ratio and a pH of 9.0 – 9.7. As a binder, never take any binders around your other supplements, food or medications. And as I type that, I laugh because again... didn't I just say that the spray they are using on everything is a binder?

People need to stop trying to find the perfect "diet" and start trying to just get the micronutrients our bodies actually need without all of the processed chemicals that the body doesn't need.

What's being made at your house??

Wow... I am finalizing my 2020 program, and boy has the weather been off the charts shifting around here. In Seattle we had a crazy thunderstorm last night, and I have never seen a strike so large (shook the house) and sold close to my house. It was insane, but it was like nature was roaring for us all to take this opportunity to live our lives without limitations.

So I started thinking this morning about how much of my life in the last ten years has been about fixing rather than living. We get into these beliefs, I can't eat this, I can't do that, I have to do this, I am too old for that... and then we create patterns and routines that implant in our body, and we start to judge and limit ourselves rather than just enjoying the positive energy that surrounds us.

I know a little bit about this because I have been hosting a large challenge group doing mostly vegan Whole30's for the last decade. I have watched people find themselves, lose themselves, love their bodies, despise their bodies. I have watched people judge, and shame .. generally themselves since my group is a no-judgement-zone.

I found myself in meditation and number 19 kept showing up. So I took the nudge, and started looking into this number, and it's meanings. I I decided that I would share it with you because this is the sort of information that I always find super intriguing.

If we start with number 1, it has the frequency of your uniqueness, and everything about you that makes you the only you that matters here and now. It is a high vibration, and it shows up with new beginnings.

On the other hand number 9, is about becoming the energy of love, finding awareness, letting go of karmic energy, opening to enlightenment, awakening to this energetic space, and being of service to others. It is where you take the the faith and pay it forward.

Like have you read accounts of mediums or lightworkers that are starting to feel this immense change around the universe, and they are starting to turn up the volume on healing with discussions of infrared saunas, salt caves, red lights, meditation, juicing, and everything they can imagine to  help move them in the right direction, and let go of the energy that is not serving their bodies.

Well, I think it is time that we stop limiting our bodies to labels. No more being fat, you have fat cells. No more being weak, you are alive and that takes strength. It is time to listen to your body, and maybe let go of the extremes. It is time to find balance, so that you can take in, release, create, and live in the moments of what matter.

So when you put 1 and 9 together for 19, you get the perfect order of Universal Energy, and the pure source of creation. It is the beginning and the ending, in exactly the way you are meant to be. It is serving yourself so that you are feeling like your best self. And there are 19 cycles of 19 days throughout the year, with 4 days left over. I love this idea of jumping in and creating a rebirth at anytime you desire throughout the year.



So on January 1st, you can join the first 19 Day Shift. The program will be located at www.19DayShift.com and you can jump in at anytime. Each cycle, the focus will slightly change on what we will be working on as you shift your lifestyle, mindset, perhaps even your diet and your routines. Jump into my Paleo Vegeo group if you want to be engaged in the conversation as you Shift. You can find the link above in the menu, or on the Facebook, Paleo Vegeo page.
