I love it, I learned so much about you! I'll do this on my blog page now for shit and giggles. ;)

well, I started to study astrology when I was 12 and my best friend's mom gave me a book, which I still have, called "Sun Signs" by Linda Goodman. it's sort of the classic book on basic sun signs that most people who read about that stuff know and love, she was a great lady. And I like her take...

This is BRILLIANT! First, it makes me really want to learn to play chess now because it sounds so interesting and focused...second, I had a very similar experience with marathon training and having to admit I wasn't enjoying that anymore and my whole goal had been to do it all with joy. So I...

Yes, exercise isn't really the way to lose weight, and I say that having been a total athletic training geek for about 20 years. It's a way to sculpt the clay, but not really an effective way to shed the clay...it's more about remembering that joyful energy of recess when you were a kid and how...

I have a lot of experience with destructive things like bulimia (did it for 10 years) and then on the other end of the spectrum, with very healing things like detoxes, cleansing fasts and candida cleanse diets. You want to get away from anything extreme and please do seek some good counseling...

Green Smoothies vary, there are probably thousands of variations, but the base is either a cup of water or coconut water to start, adding things like spinach, kale, romaine, parsley, chard, etc and blending until the greens are liquified and the blender is about 2/3 full, then adding fresh fruit...

I love squash too, esp cooked spaghetti squash, but I think there's a way to eat that raw as well. The cheese is RAW goat's milk cheddar, not the creamy soft pasteurized goat's cheese that's easier to find. I could really only find this at a real health food store, or perhaps a Whole Foods. No...

well, raw foodies don't drink coconut milk, that's not so healthy, but young coconut meat and young coconut water definitely are...tasty too! Fit for Life is old enough (mid 80s I think) that it's been in paperback for ages and you can usually even find it at bookstores and drugstores super...

and Sat Kriya too! ;) Fit for Life was written by a (then) couple, Harvey and Marilyn Diamond. It is honestly one of the most comprehensive and remarkable nutrition books out there, tons of info. I recommended it to a pro NHL Strength & Conditioning coach after a lengthy chat where he was...

Oh my Lord...if you do not know who Che Guevara is I URGE you to research it...he was a revolutionary who was ultimately murdered by the CIA because too many world leaders listened to him, respected him and agreed with him, and he sought to take down the capitolist system and help the oppressed...
