AMAZING quote from Marianne Williamson,The Age of Miracles
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

How to Change Your View of Change - 9 Principles of Change
Creating balanced low stress life is all about change. Most of us when think of change, think of stress and anxiety.
Change is not always simple and easy, indeed but The Change Expert Ariane de Bonvoisin,author of The First 30 days is convinced that everyone can change.
Here are Arian’s 9 Principles of Change
Principle 1:
People who successfully navigate change have positive beliefs.
Your biggest need right now is to develop new beliefs: about yourself, about this change, and about life in general. Nothing will have a bigger impact on the way you move through change.
Principle 2:
People who successfully navigate change know that change always brings something positive into their lives.
Every change has a gift associated with it. While it’s natural to find change hard it’s important to remember that there are two sides to every coin and that something positive will always come. This is by far the most important belief to have during the first thirty days of change.
Principle 3:
People who successfully navigate change know they are resilient, strong, and capable of getting through anything.You are much stronger, much smarter, and much more intuitive than you have ever been told. You are more resilient and more powerful. Once you truly know and believe this, you will be able to get through any change- even the hardest one you can imagine.
Principle 4:
People who successfully navigate change know that every challenging emotion they feel is not going to stop them and will guide them to positive emotions that help them feel better.
Negative emotions can stall us, making change harder, while the positive ones can help us move through a change in a simpler, quicker, and more conscious way.
Principle 5:
People who successfully navigate change know that the quicker they accept the change, the less pain and hardship they will feel.Let go of the idea of how life should be.
Principle 6:
People who successfully navigate change use empowering questions and words, think better thoughts, and express their feelings.
At your most stuck point, if you can speak with different words, think a slightly better thought, and get in touch with how you are feeling, you can become unstuck in a matter of minutes.
Principle 7:
People who successfully navigate change know they are connected to something bigger than themselves.
When everything around you is changing, look for the part of you that doesn’t change. The part that is calm, centered and always there.
Principle 8:
People who successfully navigate change are not alone.
They surround themselves with people who can help, who have the right beliefs and skills. And they create an environment that supports their change.
One of our biggest flaws as human beings is that we keep thinking we are alone. Whatever the situation, there is always, always someone who can help.
Principle 9:
People who successfully navigate change take action. They have a plan and know how to take care of themselves.
Actions come in many forms. Some are big and obvious; some are so small you may think they are irrelevant. But any good action you take is a choice to move forward.

Raw Pumpkin Pie with Whipped Cream
Try a twist on holiday tradition with this delicious and healthy raw pumpkin pie recipe.
Crust:
2 cups almonds, soaked and dehydrated 2 hours
1 cup Medjool dates, soaked 1 hour to soften
¼ tsp vanilla
¼ tsp cinnamon
Date soaking water if necessary
To make: Place almonds in food processor and process until mealy. Slowly add in dates, water, vanilla, and cinnamon to form a dough consistency. Pat into a glass pie plate so that crust is at least ¼ inch thick.
Filling:
2 cups pumpkin puree
1 - 1 ½ cups dates, soaked 1 hour
¼ cup raisins, soaked 1 hour
½ cup cashews, soaked 4 hours
2 persimmons, peeled*
2 sapotes**
½ - 1 tsp cinnamon
1 - 2 tsp vanilla
¼ tsp cloves
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp cardamom
Raisin or date soaking water
3 Tbs psyllium
Dash of Celtic sea salt
To Make: Put peeled and chopped pumpkin through the Champion juicer with the blank in place. Then run the dates, raisins, and nuts through the Champion juicer, again with the blank attachment. Combine the two then add the mixture to the Vita-Mix, along with the remaining ingredients (except for the psyllium husks). Use just enough soaked raisin water to keep the blades turning. Remove mixture to a larger bowl and stir in psyllium husks. This will help to firm the pie so that it slices neatly. Scoop mixture into the crust and chill 2 hours before serving. Garnish with Macadamia Nut Cream Frosting.

1 ½ cups macadamia nuts, soaked overnight
½ cup fresh orange juice, papaya juice, or coconut water

Book Review: Green for Life - By Victoria Boutenko
In search of the perfect human diet, Victoria Boutenko compares the standard American diet with the diet of wild chimpanzees.
Chimpanzees share an estimated 99.4% of genes with humans, but their diet is dramatically different from ours. The most glaring difference is that chimpanzees consume significantly more green leaves than humans.
Victoria developed a series of greens smoothies that enable anyone to consume the necessary amount of greens in a very palatable way.
"Author's clear, masterful concept, so powerful - we can expect to see the world of health rocked to its foundations." -- Thomas C. Chavez, Homeopath, Author of Body Electronics

I. Visit a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis.
2. Apply sunscreen SPF 15 or higher is recommended on a daily basis. Look for mineral sunscreens suitable for sensitive skin to avoid further skin irritation.
3. Manage your stress
4. Protect skin from environmental exposure. Limit time outdoors or protect the face with a scarf or ski mask when exposed to prolonged cold or wind.
5. Care for your skin with a gentle daily skincare program that incorporates a moisturizer to minimize dryness and flakiness. Look for products formulated for sensitive skin with a minimum of ingredients to lessen the risk of irritation.
6. You are what you eat. Learn what foods trigger your redness and avoid them. Start by avoiding steaming hot foods, spicy foods and alcohol which have been shown to aggravate redness.

Reading: Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat: Secrets of My Mother's Tokyo Kitchen
I love French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating For Pleasure, so I decided that its time to enhance my ageless women longevity secrets' tool-kit.
With this in mind I I was browsing around Amazon and stumbled upon Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat.
In her book Naomi Moriyama
describes her native country as a land “where 40-year-old women look like they’re 20. It is a land where women enjoy some of the world’s most delicious food, yet they have obesity rates of only three percent . . . less than one tenth that of American women.” Moriyama credits the Japanese diet: small dishes jam-packed with nutrients from fish, soy, rice, vegetables and fruit. Rice, especially, “is thought to contribute to better skin,” she says. “There is even a Japanese phrase for soft, supple skin: mochi-hada, or skin that resembles mochi, a moist rice cake.”The diet and weight loss points made in this book could be summed up in a few bullet points:
* Don't overeat - observe the hara hachibunme rule (eat until you are 80% full). Hara hachibunme is a common Japanese term: it appears also in a book I reviewed previously, Hungry Planet,, in the Okinawa chapter. (Okinawa has the most longevity of anyplace in the world.) Another term my mother likes to quote to me quite often is hara mo mi no uchi - your stomach is a part of your body. In other words, don't overeat!
* Eat a lot of fresh vegetables.
* Eat a wide variety of foods.
* Eat more whole grains - eat brown rice rather than polished white rice.
* Eat fruit for dessert, or small portions if you must have cake etc.
