9:00 . . . juice of 10 oranges
12:00 . . juice of 6 oranges
4:00 . . . 2 bunches of black grapes (~ 2 lbs.)
5:00 . . . 8 pickling cucumbers + 2 tomatoes
7:00 . . . 6 bananas
9:00 . . . more grapes

These grapes are a life saver. They are a great sugar hit, very, very sweet. Really, no candy could top them. I looked at a bunch of candy yesterday in the store and it all looked like what it is: FAKE CHEMICALS. It was not appealing in the least to me, which is interesting because back in the day I was a sugaraholic. Sugary candy was my secret vice. I was in need of a 12-step program.

Now I can freely eat sugar all day and it is FAR more delicious than the fake stuff made in a factory. No guilt, no shame, no secrecy.

Today I am thinking of how every day I am hearing about people with breast cancer, brain tumors, leukemia. I think that most people are suffering in some way. It is very frustrating to feel that I could "help" EVERYONE, if only they were interested in the real truth. Amazingly, some peeps are really not interested in the truth, especially if it means giving up THEIR secret vices. This includes the people closest to me. I do understand, and I'm not giving up on you, hypnotized peeps! ♥

This plate came from the Niagara Club in New York. Hmmmm. . . . wonder how it came to be in my possession? Maybe SOMEBODY had too much to drink at their brother's wedding reception many moons ago. Not mentioning any names.

But to balance out any negative karma, let me give a shout out and a plug for the Niagara Club, near the famous Niagara Falls. That is one amazing natural phenomenon.

And please do not drink alcohol. It rots your brain and makes you do STUPID things. So I've heard.

Yesterday was a day of true rest. I don't think we do enough of that. Our modern culture certainly does not encourage it. I watch the animals in Nature, and they rest as much as possible.

I spent most of the day reading, napping, and lounging with my home peeps. The chilly grey day was totally supportive of that. Then I went to bed extra early. It felt very luxurious, and I thrived and renewed in the quiet and peace. I felt more like "me." I felt like a child with endless time.

Note to self: Do this more often. Your life requires it.

Weekend Joy

This happening took place earlier this year in the train station in Antwerp, Belgium, as part of a promotion to find the lead actress for The Sound of Music.

Somebody is very clever.

200 dancers took part in this stunt. I love this. Chills. I want to do it!

Enjoy. ♥

These oranges are a godsend. I am content with them, even though they are not really in prime season and they are not of the highest quality.

I'd say the biggest challenge with this lifestyle is just always having ENOUGH really good quality fruit that you LOVE available. It needs to be sweet, perfectly ripe, and taste delicious. At the moment, there are no Fast Fruit Drive-Thrus (ha!) so you have to plan ahead, seek it out, and gauge the ripeness levels every day.

But this is kind of fun to do, actually. You can take all the time and money and mental energy you used to spend on recipes and cookbooks, watching cable cooking shows, shopping for a million ingredients, cooking, cleaning up, buying pots and pans and gadgets and appliances, and spend it on keeping a great fruit supply going. I promise you it is a LOT easier to just eat fruit. ; )

Fruit Gifts

Our neighbors sent this BEAUTIFUL fruit basket to us as a thank you. It has bananas, apples, oranges, tangerines, kiwis, pears, a mango, a pomegranate, and a pineapple. And the fruit seems to be of a really good quality. Wow. Such gratitude and amazement I feel.

It was a fanstastic surprise and arrived on a day when it was rainy and cool and I was feeling less than abundant, as my fruit supply was dwindling. It is as if the Universe is showing me that my needs will always be taken care of somehow.

The interesting thing is that I never told these peeps that I am fruitarian. My husband said he may have mentioned once that he was vegetarian.

Since being on this fruit path, I have had many such surprises and gifts. The fruitarian life is indeed magical. ♥

The melons are OUTSTANDING right now: sugary sweet and lots of Living Water.

Some people think that what I eat is boring, monotonous. I have already written at length about this here, but I will just say again that some people love their coffee, and have the EXACT SAME COFFEE every morning. Some people drink Mountain Dew all day long because they LOVE their dew. Some people must have their dose of chocolate every day. Or pizza. Or whatever.

So I am no different from what everyone else is doing. I look forward to my orange juice every morning (at the moment) and I LOVE my fruit sugar all day every day. I never get tired of it. Kind of like I never get tired of breathing, or sleeping, or taking in the sun. Ha!
