OK, it’s my birthday!

Turning 65 in a couple of hours. Kind of thrilling to be alive and celebrating this milestone. I am being very low key and I’ll tell you why. On February 21st, I quit caffeine!

This was not a conscious decision. I have been asking spirit for a state of Grace where I will LET GO of toxic behavior; any negative thoughts or habits. Well, the first day of Pisces, I crashed. Remember, you will get what you wish for.

No more coffee, tea or chocolate. No sugar, gluten or dairy. Nothing processed which means, everything fresh except for brown rice, quinoa, oatmeal and my coffee substitute. Oh, let me tell you about this drink. it’s called Dandy Blend. My daughter introduced it to me a few years ago. It is delicious. Mostly dandelion and barley with a little chicory added for that roasted effect. A heaping tblspn goes into the blender with 1/2 tspn cinnamon, 1 tspn maca powder (a root that Peruvians swear by for longevity), a squirt of stevia for sweetness and a splash of soy milk (unsweetened). Whip it up and voila, you have a Dandy Blend Cappuccino.

So you can see I AM celebrating!

Oh it is so worth going through the withdrawal to get to the other side and look back at what you’ve done. Believe me this was Divine Intervention and I love it.

Now the real work begins: integration. There are so many distractions in the world that cause stress and what does that do to your commitment? Your body must recalibrate to your new resonance and that’s where your mind is so powerful. Now I must trust myself to be true to my beliefs and no matter how strong the temptations to remember always to be in a state of Grace.
