With the new beginnings that come with Spring, now is the perfect time to prepare.  Out with the old and in with the new.  It’s amazing how it really works.   When we get things in order in our world,  both outer and inner,  we benefit. Often in a very real, and big way.  The fun part is that the ‘new’ often shows up in unexpected, unplanned ways.

I decided to challenge myself with one type of  ’inner’ spring cleaning a few weeks ago, in the form of a diet cleanse.  I was scared. But the time had come, and I was inspired to commit a quality act of self-love . The thought of existing on ‘rocks and twigs’ for days, and giving up my treasured morning coffee, not to mention carb cravings, was really intimidating.  Thankfully, I had a detox mentor in my friend Lori, who turned me on to Dr. Cory in Mill Valley, CA (www.drcory.com).  Dr. Cory offers a one-stop shopping of products, preparation, education and supervision in her cleansing programs.  She maps it out for you and gives you resources for keeping your life going during the cleanse (cleanse-safe dining at Cafe Gratitude - yum! - www.cafegratitude.com). I highly recommend her program.

The good news: I survived! Many protein-spirulina shakes and countless greens later.  Larry (my guy) was proud of me: I came home to a beautiful orchid plant in honor of my suffering and successful completion.  Even better news:  I feel GREAT.   I picked up new knowledge on health & nutrition, and my body.  The surprise, the unplanned: I became extremely clear of mind, not just body.  This greater awareness and sense of be-ing ness was incredible.   Creativity-goals-current distractions and energy drains in my life, all surfaced in new and very clear ways.  It was a suprising bonus.

So, what are some ways that you might Spring Clean?  Detox aside, there are countless ways to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new (stay tuned for more…).   

Your heart-mind-body, and LIFE awaits!

From my savvy heart to yours,
