I’m almost afraid to write.  It seemed that somehow my precious year record of blog posts had disappeared into a non existent cloud, unretrievable. This is a test:  Are you here?  Am I here?

Oh wow, time flies, doesn’t it?  Can’t believe I didn’t check in since Day 14 of water!  I am indeed alive, for anyone that might be wondering. I completed my goal of 21 days of water only fasting.  Let’s see…how can I describe this?  It wasn’t painful.  Toward the end, everything became much slower and […]

It’s not easy. In one of the lectures here at the fasting center, Dr. Goldhamer explained that the most successful participants often have a strong, present motivation that responds to the fast quickly.  For example, someone with chronic pain whose pain vanishes as they fast, will likely continue their fast, and continue eating their bland, […]

Hello hello:)  I sailed pretty smoothly through the last day of juice and yesterday, began the first day of water.  My caffeine headache had passed and everything was fairly calm.  I felt some distracting hunger pangs in the afternoon but nothing horrific.  I did a little bit of tai chi, meditation exercises, a yoga class […]

When I went back to the Doctor a couple of weeks ago, a new lab test showed that the strong medications I had taken, had indeed gotten rid of the amoeba in my gut.  That is huge.  Like STEP ONE:  The Amoeba Has Left The Premises. To approach STEP TWO:  Assess and Repair Damage Done […]

Hopefully that explains it all to you, yes?  Oh, not completely?  Okay, I’ll try straight talk…much harder to do. The Short Version: In the […]

Out on the peninsula of Semana, I had heard about a restaurant perched on a high cliff that people tended to dive off of into the sea below.  We didn’t want to dive, but decided to check out the restaurant with the rumored fabulous view. About halfway up the potted slim dirt road surrounded by […]

I’m sitting under palm trees swaying in an ocean breeze, with birds calling and soft waves rolling in and out.  My daughters are running around me in a made up game of tag-ball-hide in the hammock-climb on Mommy-jump off and dance.  My very remarkable, kind-hearted Auntie Brenda is sitting next to me enjoying a book.  […]

Well, maybe it’s been my record for not posting?  The days at the farm are long, full and deep, as we enter more into the Lent period of the ongoing seminar.  There was a transition a couple of weeks ago, where most of the first group departed after they completed their visit with us, and […]
