Day 11 at Optimum Health

Today started off the same and then I found out my dear friend Mary has been hospitalized for a bowel obstruction. She is not a candidate for surgery or more medicine. I went to see her and thank her for how much she means to me...how special she is...I will fight for my life in honor of her never having the choice I have right now in this moment. She never got the chance to eat healthy food and drink fresh juices...she never got a chance to leap with faith in a new direction...I will honor her by staying strong in my will to live ...I will make peace when it's my time and I will stay strong no matter what... I love you Mary and you will forever be in my heart...when it's your moment I will be there ...my heart is so full with love for you...may we all know love the way Mary has shown love to me and countless others...I have been blessed by her ...she is getting closer to her time and she is ready...beautiful and inspiring.

day 10 at Optimum Health

Tuesday was a relatively uneventful  day and yet just right...same format...I got some extra reading time and sun time before the rain came...it was a lovely day...going home tomorrow for an appointment and to do needed laundry...take care everyone...and much love ...always...

Day 9 at Optimum Health

Yesterday's entry pretty much sums up what I do here every day...sometimes I go to classes although I have been to the entire 3 week program so I pick and choose what seems the most useful. I find it more in my alignment to connect to going home once or twice per week for Qigong classes and to meditate on my own and to continue walking every morning with or without the group dynamic here. Yesterday was a great healing day...I had two formal healings yesterday and it was very helpful and helped me sleep last night. I start the 3 day juice diet again...this program is all low calorie but sometimes it's in juice form and sometimes in raw form as salads etc. Today begins the juice form again...I've also been reading...it all keeps me busy in the strangest way...love to everyone

day 8 at optimum Health

What a wonderful day today!
I started as I normally do...with wheat grass juice...then back to my room for a cup of tea ( not an optimum health menu) I have it on my own...then a 45 min or more walk around the grounds...then back to my room for a wheat grass enema...shower...breakfast...and sitting out in the sun reading...getting ready for my vows to come...back in my room to dress up for the occasion...very exciting and then off to pick up lunch to take with me and then to the buddhist center to prepare...at 1:30 ish myself and 3 others took our bodisattava vows...it was wonderful! Then I stayed to support the additional 9 students taking their refuge vows...this is a non-monastic lineage so to take these vows is a bit different than if I were a young child in more of a monastic setting of buddhism. It was a wonderful day...back to my room...more wheat grass juice...more yummy food and then soon to go to bed and read...love to all of you...starting my second week today...

day 7 at optimum health

Well I've made it one week and I'm taking it all in...wanting to trust and then feeling afraid ...for moments I give myself that scary place and then I trust again. I don't know when it's my time to transition...I do know I can make the best life I have day to day ...moment to moment and let nature speak to me...I will do my best to listen to healing options and take every opportunity to stay here on this Earth and share what I know and even what I don't know...I have attended my Buddhist workshop this weekend and also preparing to take my Bodisattva Vows..this is very special and meaningful for me...please think of me tomorrow at 1:30pm...sending so much love to all and thank you for your kind thoughts and incredible support...it means so much to me...Love you
