Volume III, Issue IV, September 2011 In this Edition
Getting Organized for Health This is a great time of year to get organized. Summer is over and we’re all returning to our "normal" routines and schedules. Whether you're gathering in the harvest and putting up food for Winter, getting your business and finances in order after a crazy Summer or getting the kids back into their school year rhythm, it's a time of settling into a gentle Fall rhythm after the expansiveness of Summer.
When you're getting organized this year, make sure to remember your personal health and your relationship to food. Food is easy to overlook and we tend to take it for granted, especially when we're juggling kids, work, projects and all the details of busy modern life. It's easy to slip into a habit of just grabbing food on the go and not giving it much thought. But... ...a little bit of conscious attention to your food can go a long way in supporting your physical health, energy level and moods. Spending about 1/2 hour thinking ahead about what you would like to eat each week can save you a lot of time, money, energy and stress. As you're settling into new Fall rhythms pick a time each week where you can sit down and think about what meals and snacks you and your family would like to have for the week. Then check out what you have in stock and make a shopping list for what you need. When you go grocery shopping with a good list you'll save money and energy and choose healthier items. And when you plan ahead for your meals, school lunches, etc. your whole family will settle into a healthier baseline in physical health. (which means better moods and more cooperation...bonus!) If you have bigger kids and/or a partner in your house you can even split up the cooking and cleaning responsibilities to make mealtime a more collective family experience. While you establish your new Fall rhythm you may want to reevaluate what works best for your body and your family at this time. We are constantly growing, changing and learning new things about ourselves. For optimal health, it's a good idea to periodically check in with what works best and adjust our plans accordingly. The Guided Fall Cleanse is an excellent opportunity for this check in. As you step back from certain foods and habits that may cause toxic symptoms you can clarify what your body really wants at this point in your life. With our guidance and support you'll learn some new healthy habits that are easy to incorporate into your daily life for longterm health. We hope you'll join us!

~One Hundred Years From Now (excerpt from "Within My Power" by Forest Witcraft)
Gratitude for WBDD"I am so excited and happy to have found this website, I've been back and forth trying to find a complete yet simple page with real and accessible info about organic food, guidelines, detox etc. Your website has all these and much more. I have made it one of my favorite sites. I admire you both and congratulate you for this great contribution." ~ Lizzette "I just completed my week and I feel really good. It felt good to completely eliminate all meat, dairy, wheat and refined sugar. I already have a plan to repeat this with two friends over the summer. Thank you, I learned so much." ~ Pharr, Massachusetts "Well, first of all everything I have made so far has been delicious, and secondly, it has been much easier than I anticipated to stick to the "prescribed" cleanse...I'm really enjoying the healthy abundance of good foods running through my body...and it is perfect timing as I have been trying to transition dairy and sugar out of my diet." ~Monica, Massachusetts "The Whole Body 7 Day Detox Diet was just what I needed to turn my eating habits around. I love to eat sugar and I also find myself eating wheat and dairy products because they are quick. The most helpful thing about the detox week for me was being told what to eat and being supplied with the recipe. Instead of dreading what to make for dinner, I looked forward to it! When I saw the detox plan, I thought this is something I can definately do, but I knew I had to plan and set aside time to make this my number one priority. I looked forward to not having to think about what to eat and being able to prepare new recipes. The banana bread was really really good, and the cherry almond shake too. I didn't even need the other desserts and snacks because I was so satisfied with the meals - and it fed my whole family for a week! Planning is everything - it sets a positive intention. I'm going to keep doing it!" ~ Angela, Colorado If you're ready to experience the benefits of the Whole Body Detox Diet, please join us for this year's Guided Fall Cleanse. This guided group cleanse will walk you through the process of cleaning up and clearing out your body so you can feel and look your best! |

"One Hundred Years from now
It will not matter
what kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
how much money was in my bank account
nor what my clothes looked like.
But the world may be a better place because
I was important in the life of a child."
