THE VEGETABLE LOBBY

Tara Stiles is coming out with 2 new yoga dvds featuring Deepak Chopra!  They will be out just in time for the holidays!  We can’t wait!

People are always asking me why I get up so early when I don’t have to be at work until 9:00.  I get up at 5:30.  Here is why:

The world is so quiet.  Everyone’s energy is not out there yet.

There is nothing better than having a cup of tea or coffee while the dogs and cats are still sleeping.  It’s really cozy.

This is the only time of they day that is really my own.  I feel like I’m in a protective relaxation chamber.

It gives me time in the morning before work to Zumba or do some yoga with the Yoga Works group or Tara Stiles. My day is always better when I begin with yoga.

Try getting up and enjoying the quiet of the morning….you will become addicted.

People often assume vegans are unhealthy, lacking in nutrients and especially lacking iron.  Well I am here to to tell them, poppycock!  I donated blood the other day and they have to check your iron levels first.  The average woman’s range should be 12.1 to 12.5.  My reading was 12.7!

At least every other day I have a mug of hot almond milk with a tablespoon of Blackstrap Molasses stirred into it. It’s a delicious and healthy after dinner treat or afternoon snack!  1 tablespoon of Blackstrap molasses has 70% of your daily iron in a highly absorbable form!  But it has to be Blackstrap so check your labels.

Take a look at my iron rich blood!

It may be easier than you think to find vegan shoes.  I was shopping at Marshalls and walking by all the riding boots, all leather, so I thought.  I picked one up and looked inside:  “all man made materials”.  Wow!  I was suprised.  So don’t get discouraged.  Check labels!  Also, I order from the vegan shop at this site: PlanetShoes.com.

HIP HIP HOORAY!

A lot of adult environmentalists have been trying for years to focus attention on tropical rain forests in southeast Asia, but it took two teenagers to get the issue on the front page of a national newspaper and on the network news. Check it out here. Very interesting……
