Check out this fabulously creative ride!

They even have a matching blue corduroy bike chain!
It must get really soggy on rainy days...and we've had a lot of those lately.

I love my neighborhood!

Vegetables Are All Your Body Needs

I love how they use ginger for the intestines since ginger aids in digestion.

May I be Frank? A movie about the transformational effects of a raw food living diet.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to the very first public screening of this movie this summer. Being 3-month-new to my raw food living diet journey, I was brought to tears of joy for Frank. Then when he showed up on stage at the end for the Q & A,  I was blown away by how gorgeous he had become. I true transformation! He looked like a totally different guy. The 42 days in the movie were filmed over 3 years ago, so it seems as though he has stayed with most of his "program."

Yeah for Frank! If this film comes to a film festival near you or to your local movie theatre (and I REALLY hope it gets a distributor!!) then I highly recommend a viewing! May I be Frank? is kind of like the opposite of the movie "SuperSize Me", and you won't believe how much GOOD can be done to the body by just changing one's diet.

http://www.mayibefrankmovie.com

Starring:  Frank Ferrante, Conor Gaffney, Cary Mosier, Ryland Engelhart
Directed By:  Gregg Marks, Cary Mosier, Conor Gaffney, Ryland Engelhart
Produced By:  Conor Gaffney, Cary Mosier, Ryland Engelhart
Release Date:  Summer 2009
Genre:  Documentary
Studio: Be Love Productions

All Frank Ferrante wants to do is to fall in love one more time before he dies. When the filming began, Frank was 54 and weighed in at 290. Both parents were from Sicily. Frank was raised in a southern Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York.

Frank has a checkered past. He’s had long and nearly lethal drug and alcohol experiences. He developed a knack for getting stoned at the perfectly wrong time along with a keen ability to create awkward moments and generate chaos. During his adventures he came in contact with Hepatitis C. He is being treated with interferon and ribovirin. He takes Prozac and drinks 10 espressos a day to try and maintain some shred of sanity.

He is a ex-addict; he's accused of being a terrible father, a nasty ex-husband and a lousy brother. He is a lost soul, alone and unlovable. Frank is rarely happy and never content. With each passing moment, Frank’s hope dims. He believes there is a better way, but he is stuck and lost in his darkness. The Spheres were about to conspire against Frank’s misery.
One day, Frank stumbled into the arena of his long awaited adventure: Cafe Gratitude; a raw, organic, and vegan restaurant in the Sunset district of San Francisco. Here Frank is offered something remarkable; a chance to see his life through a different lens. An ensuing conversation with Frank and the Cafe manager, Ryland Engelhart results in the creation of an experiment: to help Frank achieve his wish to fall in love.

The proposal:

1- Frank comes into Cafe Gratitude for 42 days and eats only Raw, Vegan, Organic food
2- take on a 42 day Transformational workbook called 'The Abounding River workbook'
3- participate in 9 colonics
4- go to see a holistic doctor, and get a live blood cell analysis
5- agree to let it all be filmed.

See What happens as Frank takes on the transformation of a lifetime!

The Power Symbol

See it unfold here:
http://sketch.odopod.com/sketches/96615/edit

This ancient healing symbol is for empowerment and protection.

It literally means "Put the power of the universe here."
It can be used to protect and seal an area, like a room or your body, with pure white light.

The Power Symbol can also be used to empower your goals and intentions.

It's a great symbol to use for manifestation.

Mu. Who Knew?

I painted this after finding the symbol in this book:

The Sacred Symbols of Mu

by James Churchward

[1933, copyright not renewed]

According to Churchward, Mu was a lost continent in the Pacific Ocean, which was destroyed in a global cataclysm tens of thousands of years ago; Mu was the original home of mankind, and all subsequent civilizations descended from it. The Pacific islands and their inhabitants are supposed to be the last survivors of this primordial motherland. Churchward's Mu was a huge continent, which stretched from Micronesia in the West to Easter Island and Hawaii in the East. Churchward also believed in a literal mid-Atlantic Atlantis. He proposed a global network of huge gas-filled caverns which, if vented, could cause large areas of land to be submerged.

This is the digestion song I wanted to share.

I've noticed that food combining on a raw food living diet can be tricky. This is solid advice if you don't want bloating and gas. I had to watch it a few times to "get it" because she sings the chorus a bit fast. I think it's a sweet little tune that made me smile.

Here are the lyrics:

"Banana with Banana"

(Raw Food Songs, Fruit for our Music + Music for our Fruit)

[3 verses with refrains, sung to the tune of “Davy Crockett”]
Please know it's best to eat fruit meals on an empty stomach as the main course (not as "dessert").


[CAPitalized syllable is downbeat=first beat of a measure. Capitalized first letter is the second beat. Uncapitalized but first word of a line is an "upbeat" before the downbeat.]


Verse 1 

BaNAna With baNA na And a GRAPE With a GRAPE, NUT or Seed with GREENS (not Sweets) we diGEST As an APE,
boNObos', Chimps', and HUmans' Plumbing's SAME In the PIPES,
sweet FRUIT with Greens (not FATS) digest WELL for PRImates of our TYPE.
Refrain: ("Davy, Davy Crocket, King of the wild frontier" original words) diGEStion, SepaRATE sweet Fruit from FRUITS of Fat or ACid and your TUMmy Will NOT Have a FIGHT diGEStion, SepaRATE sweet Fruit from NUT or Seed or avoCAdo and your BELy Will FEEL All RIGHT


Verse 2

AVoCado, DURiAn or NUT Or SEED, these FATty Fruits diGEST with Greens, only a LITtle FATdo we NEED, ONE Time per DAY at Most, of ON-Ly one KIND, these FATty Foodsdigest WELL with Greens (butnotwith SWEETfood of Any KIND).
Refrain: diGEStion, SepaRATE sweet Fruit from FRUITS of Fat or ACid and your TUMmy Will NOT Have a FIGHT diGEStion, SepaRATE sweet Fruit from NUT or Seed or avoCAdo and your BELy Will FEEL All RIGHT


Verse 3

paPAYa, Peach, perSIMMons, Pear will GIVE our NATural FUEL.

Refrain: diGEStion, SepaRATE sweet Fruit from FRUITS of Fat or ACid and your TUMmy Will NOT Have a FIGHT diGEStion, SepaRATE sweet Fruit from NUT or Seed or avoCAdo and your BELy Will FEEL All RIGHT
