Reggie Watts

Synchronicity! Well, maybe I should make a smoothie blog and reserve this one for my spiritual path. Oh yes, finding Reg is spiritual. Truth: When you (or at least I) think of someone whom I haven't seen for a while that person or even thing eventually shows up, and sooner than later. I was watching SNL last week and thought, "Who is that guy whom my friend introduced me to earlier this year? He is so funny!" Then literally one or so minutes ago on HBO there's a commercial for this guy, and as you see his face is unmistakeable and unique. Crazy!!! Check out his videos, especially the one on Conan. He's a comedic musician.

Other 'coincidences' that have happened to me, especially since, admittedly, I saw the movie "The Secret":

I didn't have a hair elastic one day two years ago, which wanted me to get out of a yoga class. I went anyway, and had a feeling to park in the east parking lot, which I found...a hair elastic on the ground behind my car.

I thought of my high school boyfriend a few years ago and the next day he added me on FB.

Also a few years back (these all seemed to happen during the year I saw The Secret) I thought, "My talent agency hasn't called me in months." The next day...

On top of that, ever since I saw that movie, I've been scoring sweet parking spaces.

However, I never said, well actually I did, but maybe it didn't work in seven years since I wished it intentionally, "I want to stop smoking and drinking." I had to do it painstakingly on my own through yoga, diet, shopping, and other distractions. Well, maybe it did work. :-)

Smoothies gone wild

I think I'm ready to start a smoothie blog. Should I abandon this one or rename it is the question?

This shake is packed with enzymes and you can also add strawberries according to the creator Sarma Melngails. This is from her book Living Raw Food:

1 small papaya pitted

1/2 pineapple

1 mango

1 orange, peel cut away

1 lime, peel cut away

1 cup coconut water or filtered water

1/2 cup dried goji berries

I didn't have a papaya but I added 1 tbs of coconut oil, something Daphne Oz (Dr. Oz's daughter) eats three times a day. Coconut oil is a healthy fat, you can sautee vegetables in it, and it makes a great hair shine and body moisturizer.

Love,

Merry Christmas!

Love and food.

I am now over a year and 1/2 smober, and I couldn't be happier. However, I had a romantic at-home fondue date with my man, and it's true, you tend to eat more and not so much like a hippie when you have someone. Cheese, wine, bread, oh my! The wine of course was cooked and we didn't want to go out and get two bottles for ourselves. This is, fabulously, a respectful relationship. I love it.
