Note From Gina
Happy Spring!
Yes, it's starting to feel like Spring and I'm getting that clean-out-the-clutter urge once again. I'm not only feeling this way with my outer stuff, but I'm feeling like cleaning out the inner clutter stuff too. It's time for total body renewal!
I've been craving healthy soups with lots of fresh ingredients so I put together a soup with organic chicken broth and added organic kale, rice, beans, carrots and onions. Came out really good. I've also been starting to crave some protein/fruit smoothies but that craving will have to wait until I get a new blender. We just moved and when I unpacked the blender, one of the parts broke so I'm going to go out and get a new one tomorrow so I can start creating some great smoothies!
If you have any great smoothie recipes, let me know!
Empower yourself to have an amazing day!

ps. Speaking of organic, my friend Ellen of Ellen's Food and Soul sent me a new list ranking produce in order of the level of pesticide residues found on each fruit or vegetable which was updated this month by the Environmental Working Group and, as in the past, it's a wallet-sized card that you can cut and carry with you when you shop. Information on the card can help you with the decision about when to buy organic produce.

Aromatherapy Luminary Tip
Body Renewal
Our bodies are a field of energy. Our bodies constantly change with the ebb and flow of life and also change with every thought that crosses our minds. Negative thoughts may cause negative reactions in the body and thus positive thoughts will cause positive changes in the body.
I'd much rather have the positive changes, how about you?
How do we go about staying on the positive track and not get side swiped by the constant stream of negative thoughts that squeeze in to our minds when we're not present?
Here are some Body Renewal tips to get you started on the positive track and get that spring back in your step:
- Get out in nature - Go for a walk some where that you love. Notice what is around you and the life that is blossoming before your eyes this season. If you pay attention to the senses - the smell of the air, the breeze that brushes your skin, the blossoming buds around you, then you will quiet your mind - one of the first steps needed to get some real renewal.
- Experience a holistic therapy - Get a massage, reflexology treatment or some other holistic or spa therapy that you love. BE there and really feel how it inspires you.
- Get physical - Experience a new workout. Try a yoga or pilates class, new workout video or just put your favorite music on and dance your heart out.
- De-Clutter - Pick one area that needs your attention and make the powerful decision to attack it now. Go through that pile of papers, one drawer, one closet or your car - which ever calls to you the most and watch how good you feel to get that area clean and organized.
- Consciously create and eat a healthy meal - Check out some healthy recipes, including organic ones, choose one that appeals to you and go shopping for fresh organic ingredients that will fuel your body and being. Enjoy creating as well as eating your delicious meal.
