Almond Berry-Mix Smoothie with Greens

Almond Berry-Mix Smoothie with Greens

Yesterday, during my bus ride back home from the city I sat next to a lady who happened to be coughing and blowing her nose. She was overweight and obviously a bit under the weather. At first, I didn’t worry much about her cough because I take very good care of my health eating fruits and veggies on a daily basis.  After a few minutes sitting beside her, I begin to worry because she continues to cough non-stop.  I offered her a napkin so that she would cover her mouth instead of turning her head and continue to cough with her mouth open.  She seemed very insulted replying with an attitude and not taking my napkin.  I wish I could have approached her a different way and have had an opportunity to give her some advice to help boost her immune system.  The only thing I could do at that moment was close my eyes and think “Antioxidants, Antioxidants, Antioxidants!” to keep me from catching a cold.  But then again I felt certain that based on my health I did not need to worry. Anyhow, this morning I woke up to these words yelling in my head “Berries, Antioxidants, Berries, Immune Booster”. I could have gone with my day ignoring these words in my head but I chose to run to the market and grab me some berries. Luckily, berries were each on sale for $2.39 except for the red raspberries which were sold out, so I had to get a case of organic raspberries for $4.99. Continue reading →

Will not allow anyone to affect me

So I walked into Starbucks this morning to get an unusual cup of coffee. In front of me are two beautiful lovely ladies one being attended by the register and the other waiting in line. The girls behind the register glowed brightly with warm smiles on their faces.  I said to myself “wow, what a nice feeling to walk into a happy little place.”  Two minutes later, while finishing my order, an older lady stormed in through the doors, began to huff and puff onto my left shoulder, and seemed agitated. As the lovely ladies behind the counter begin to fix her order, she begins to cut in front of me as if she was in a rush to pay and began to sigh rudely and profusely. Continue reading →

Why I chose the Path of Yoga

mediting

I will  begin by sharing that without my auntie who was taken away by Cancer nine years ago, I would have never been in a quest for so many questions.  Why couldn’t any doctor cure or properly treat my aunt’s illness?  I accompanied my aunt to the hospital when she was still a bit strong and I could see the pain in her eyes as she squinched each time the doctor poisoned her with chemotherapy.  As young as I was then, I could see how these treatments kept swallowing her dry and taking her soul.  Yet, what continued to saddened me was to see my family trusting in her doctor to save her life.  Instead, he sentenced her to a hospice care where she would be surrounded by family as we observed her final breaths.  Throughout the years, I have come to learn that drugs and medications do not heal the sick because if they did, pharmaceutical companies would not profit nor continue to have control over the diseased.   They push doctors to prescribe all sorts of drugs to their patients therefore, maintaining them dependent on drugs and worsening their health.
