It's been so good to start writing again!! Getting the journal back out daily has been good for me. And my looking agead for the next 6 months. I'm feeling a little evangelical - like a new vegan or similar but am already reaping the benefits of having written down my goals for the year (about 5 days ago), and achieving some of them already!!

So one of the things I wrote in my '15 plan that I thought I'd share was:

Love - to be the focus word for every word, thought and action. To step away from fear, see things with love and practice love towards myself and others.

It may be a lifetime goal - that's OK! But I've been thinking about how it may just be a route to freedom. Of letting go of judgements, of ourselves and others. And that living this way, in accordance with the four and five agreements work, already means doing your best, not taking things personally, being impeccable with your word, not making assumptions and being skeptical but learning to listen.

I think anyway. So... having made more than my share of misguided judgements, I'm no one to preach but I'm pondering if practicing forgiveness towards ourselves and others may be a good one for '15 too...

With love and light,

Loving a bit of synchronicity as I do, it was great to get sent this image, followed by the article here: http://thetruthaboutcancer.com/alternative-doctors-3-pillars-beating-cancer/

As well, to make it three, as waking up post sleepover, post gin, prosecco and loads of tasty vegan food, which may not have loved me as much as I loved it... For all it's OK now and again, and I'm not saying anyone should live a saintly existence every day, how many of us do it all the time - expecting our body to tolerate the abuse we put it through and continue functioning at high capacity.

It's so easy to make excuses, although who are we really excusing?! Who are we punishing by our reckless neglect of the one body we have during this adventure on earth?! Who are we really 'treating' with our donuts, cakes and chips?

To feel great, to give our bodies what they deserve, what they need to function well, it's quite easy - lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, unprocessed foods, and is also suggest leaving dairy, soy, sugar and wheat products behind. It is getting easier and easier to do, to find recipes and cook delicious food. There's loads more books, blogs and suggestions out there. So if you're not feeling quite as good as you might, suffering from health conditions, why not give it a go?

Have a read of the article for another perspective and links to other fascinating information around improving and maintaining great health: http://thetruthaboutcancer.com/alternative-doctors-3-pillars-beating-cancer/

With love - and enjoy the adventure!
