This is my go-to smoothie in the afternoon if I’m feeling a little tired and sluggish. Maca is an endocrine adaptogen that has the ability to support healthy hormone production and is great for stamina and energy! Cinnamon is a blood sugar balancer and helps keep the sugar cravings away!

These two feathers randomly fell from the sky right in-front of me this week within an hour apart! Ironic considering all the decisions and changes I've been making in my life as of late! My angels are watching over me! (Read more below)
"Although our Angels are always near us, looking over us and protecting us, we very rarely know that they are there. Sometimes, our Angels will send us small signs and signals to let us know that they are near, and will always be there to love and support us. These signs can be anything from a subtle flash of light, a rainbow on a gloomy day, or even an unexpected, sudden feeling of love and warmth within you.
One of the ultimate signs your Angels are with you is finding a feather. Coming across a feather in your path, or finding a feather in an unexpected place is thought to be a message from the Angels.
Your Angels will use feathers of all different shapes and colors to offer you comfort or validation when you need it most. Feathers could also be a clue to an answer you have been looking for, or even a message to tell you you’re on the correct path."

As you know I'm an avid reader! I've been reading a book on detoxing and addictions. Coffee, energy drinks, soda, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, exercise, food, sugar, wheat/gluten, sex. porn, complaining, blaming, procrastinating...etc. These things numb us and prevent us from receiving messages from our guides and dull our intuition. When our bodies and mind are clear from toxins, our brains are sharper, we are focused, full of energy and more creative!! Thus ready to fulfill our life purpose here on Earth!
Some simple steps to take to help release addictions:
Support/Accountability- Therapist, counselor, energy healer, pastor, family, friends.
Ask your angels and the Universe for help- Call upon Archangel Michael and Raphael specifically for addictions.
Rid your home of anything you use to dull the pain, hurt, boredom, or loneliness.
Fuel your body with clean foods. Avoid processed, acidic foods and other toxins.
Drink plenty of pure, filtered water. When we are dehydrated we are more emotional, develop brain fog, which leads to making bad decisions.
Use essential oils. Particularly Geranium and Rose. Geranium helps regulate your body clock and balances your sleep/wake cycles. It's calming and uplifting at the same time. It also enhances your self-esteem and confidence. Rose brings you to a heart-centered space, with your total awareness being focused on love, which is the ultimate healer. The more love you surround yourself with, the more healing energy you will experience.
Detox negative people from your life. Dramatic, draining, and stressful people have no place in your life. These people can dampen your light and overstep boundaries. If you feel off or uneasy around someone they are usually negatively affecting your energy. Releasing these unhealthy and unbalanced relationships is the healthiest thing you can do.

Giving and receiving is an energy exchange. This applies to compliments as well. Saying thank you after someone says something nice about you is you receiving and accepting their kind words. Money is also an energy exchange. Don't short yourself by giving out everything for free.
Do not charge less than what you are worth in business. Doing things for free blocks the natural movement of energy and may prevent you from accepting opportunities where you are compensated for your value. People are more apt to associate higher value with products or services they purchase. This also applies to relationships, friendships, and marriages.
When you love yourself and know your worth you will not accept anything less! Let the abundance flow!

Adding more greens like kale into your diet this year? Here are a few quick tips!
*Always buy organic kale; it is sprayed with lots of chemicals making it one of the Dirty Dozen. The kale should be firm with fresh, deeply colored leaves and hardy stems.
*To store, place kale in a plastic storage bag removing as much of the air from the bag as possible. Store in the refrigerator where it will keep for 5 days. The longer it is stored, the more bitter its flavor becomes. Do not wash kale before storing because exposure to water encourages spoilage. Loss of some nutrients in kale—for example, its vitamin C content—is slowed down through refrigeration.
