IT'S ABOUT THE GARDEN, EATING CLEAN HEALTHY ORGANIC FOODS, growing your own for a change.  Supporting your local organic farms.  It's about getting outside your comfort zones and sharing yourself more with others.  Fertility, and working in the Garden of Life.  This season of Summer is fast approaching and the foods we eat can be as fresh picked as we like, the local Farmer's Market is filling up with fresh local produce.  The Sun is shinning and getting outside in the morning fresh air and sunshine will bring light into your bones and skin.  HAVE A GREAT SUMMER.

I have always loved to visit Lori and Wayne and spend time learning about growing organic foods in their beautiful gardens.  Every spring and summer I get the inner call to drive up to Talking Rock, GA. to visit with them .  Early mornings I'll drive up through the mountains and arrive just in time for a cup of coffee and the cool fresh morning air in the garden.  It's great for harvesting or planting or watering or mulching or turning the compost.  Wayne and Lori have taught me so much about what goes into a strong pure organic garden.  I met them almost thirty years ago, they were pregnant with their first baby and called me to be their midwife.  We have had this beautiful relationship ever since and they had one more baby too.  Now they are grandparents, me too.

Summer Fruit That Refreshes Skin

This Week's Tips:
Next time you hit the produce aisle or farmers market, grab three cucumbers for your salads and three for your skin.

This low-cal veggie is chock-full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that nourish your face from the inside out.

The Cool Cucumber
According to RealAge skin expert Amy Wechsler, MD, author of The Mind-Beauty Connection, cucumbers have a little extra something going for them. They contain both vitamin C and caffeic acid, two antioxidants that, when applied to the skin, help fend off wrinkles, sun damage, and more. Vitamin C boosts collagen and elastin, which keeps skin looking young, and caffeic acid protects cells from UV radiation. Find out why carrots are good for your skin, too.

 Good nutrition generates more usable energy—energy to keep pace with the kids, tackle that home improvement project or have better sex more often, Michael F. Roizen, MD, says in The RealAge Diet. Too much fat in your bloodstream means that arteries won’t open properly and that your muscles won’t get enough oxygen. The result? You feel zapped. Balanced vegetarian diets are naturally free of cholesterol-laden, artery-clogging animal products that physically slow us down and keep us hitting the snooze button morning after morning. And because whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables are so high in complex carbohydrates, they supply the body with plenty of energizing fuel.

Health and Wellness

Maintaining your health and wellness is pretty simple, really. Just replace that bag of chips with a piece of fruit and you’re home free, right? Well, not quite. If it were that simple, we’d all be slim and live to be 100!

There are many theories about what constitutes a "perfect" diet. We think a good foundation for any diet consists of a mix of fresh, minimally processed foods from all food groups, including lean proteins; carbohydrates from fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grain-based breads, cereals, and pastas; and heart-healthy fats such as olive oil, nuts, and avocado. And, just as important, a good diet contains delicious foods you enjoy.

 Cooking For Love

Digestion, a Celebration of Life
by Anne-Marie Fryer Wiboltt

The processes of digestion are a mystery so wonderful and quite inconceivable.
What is most amazing to recognize is that our human substances are very unique and completely different from what is found anywhere in nature. The minerals and protein in our bones and blood are entirely different from the minerals and proteins we find in other parts of nature. Calcium inside the human body is unlike any calcium outside of it. Foods and substances that enter the human body must be completely digested and broken down beyond anything physical. First then will each individual soul/spirit, in co-creation with other majestic spiritual forces, fashion its own distinctive blood, muscles and bones.
