I wanted to start a blog last year, but I had no idea how and never bothered to learn. I still have no idea, but it's a new year replete with new resolutions and I'm off to a good start! The Blogger program made it pretty easy so here I am. I'm learning as I go. I love food and trying new recipes, so I'll be posting some of my favorite recipes and favorite cookbooks here. Since I'm interested in whole foods, health, juicing, macrobiotics and the raw food diet, I'll share some healthier recipes as well.

Welcome!

New Name: The Elusive Introvert

"I want to live simply. I want to sit by the window when it rains and read books I'll never be tested on. I want to paint because I want to, not because I've got something to prove. I want to listen to my body; fall asleep when the moon is high and wake up slowly; with no place to rush off to. I want not to be governed by money or clocks or any of the artificial restraints that humanity imposes on itself. I just want to be, boundless and infinite." Unknown** Hello! They say "start where you are" so here goes... Nearly seven years since I posted here. Time flies. And a lot has happened since then. Mostly good, but also some lessons learned along the way. This blog was formerly called "Alice's Wonderful Life" (sort of a play on words with the Alice in Wonderland thing - so original, sigh). It had bright background colors and chipper-sounding content for the most part. But that's not me. And things are not always wonderful. A...

Day 2 at Hippocrates

Monday. First thing today was having a blood draw, blood pressure taken and weight check. Blood Pressure: 128/80 Weight: 173 I was surprised by the weight because I was 177 when I left home, so already some improvement! More mandatory orientations: Internal Awareness which all about our digestive system and the importance of colon health (enemas and wheatgrass implants and colon hydrotherapy). Wheatgrass Instruction which did not have too much new information for me since I have been doing wheatgrass shots on and off for a couple of years ever since I attended a lecture that Brian Clement gave in Fairfield but nevertheless they have electronic wheatgrass juicers here, so it was good to learn how to use them. I currently have a manual wheatgrass juicer and I kinda like it cause you get to have a mini arm workout while you juice. The afternoon consisted of back-to-back lectures. I don't have my notes here with me at the moment, so I can't write them all down righ...

December 14, 2012

There are events that take place in your lifetime that you remember as if it happened only yesterday. You vividly recall where you were and what you were doing and you remember it for the rest of your life. Events like 9/11 - I'll never forget where I was (at work), who I was with (close friends and co-workers) and how I felt - how we all felt as the events unfolded (stunned, shocked, in disbelief). And so it will be the same with regard to the horrible, senseless and tragic massacre that occurred at the Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. It was a beautiful day; bright and sunny, the air cool and crisp. I stopped at my boyfriend's house on the way to work to pick up his mail since he had been out of town all week and was in fact, returning later that day. I remember hearing a helicopter, looking up at it and thinking to myself, how odd that it was black and flying so low. Mind you, the "event" hadn't happened yet (still over 40 minutes away), ...
