 Carpe Diem!
Seize the day. You have the ability to set the tone for each day - for your entire life - merely by staying aware of each moment. Focusing too much energy on past or future events does not allow us to fully appreciate what is positive in our lives now. And constant negative thoughts or worry can prevent us from making change where we might need to. Don't spend your time thinking about what has come and gone, or what may never happen. Make the most of each day by being present for it. Tonya

 Conscious Creation
The First Moments Of The Day
The moment during the day when we very first open our eyes and come
into consciousness is a precious opportunity. It sets the tone for all
that comes after it, like the opening scene in a film or novel. At this
moment, our ability to create the day is at its most powerful, and we
can offer ourselves fully to the creative process by filling this
moment with whatever inspires us most. It may be that we want to be
more generous, or it may be that we want to be more open to beauty in
our daily lives. Whatever the case, if we bring this vision into our
minds at this very fertile moment, we empower it to be the guiding
principle of our day.
Sometimes we wake up with a mood already seemingly in place, and it's
important to give this feeling its due. It can inform us and deepen our
awareness to what's going on inside us, as well as around us. As long
as we are conscious, we can honor this feeling and also introduce our
new affirmation or vision, our conscious offering to the day. We may
want to decide before we go to sleep what we want to bring to the next
day of our lives. It could be that we simply want to be more open to
whatever comes our way. Or we may want to summon a particular quality
such as confidence. Then again, we may simply call up a feeling that
perfectly captures the texture we want our day to have.
We can reaffirm our vision or affirmation as we shower and eat
breakfast, as well as recalling it at various times throughout the day.
We can write it down and carry it with us on a little slip of paper if
this helps. Simply by being aware of those first moments, we set the
stage for a more conscious, enlivened experience, and we become active
participants in the creation of our lives.

 Food Focus: Green Foods
Leafy greens are some of the easiest and most beneficial vegetables to incorporate into your daily routine. Densely packed with energy and nutrients, they grow upwards to the sky, absorbing the sun's light while producing oxygen. Members of this royal green family include kale, collard greens, swiss chard, mustard greens, arugula, dandelion greens, broccoli rabe, watercress, beet greens, bok choy, napa cabbage, green cabbage, spinach and broccoli.
How do greens benefit our bodies? They are very high in calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorous and zinc, and are a powerhouse for vitamins A, C, E and K. They are crammed full of fiber, folic acid, chlorophyll, and many other micronutrients and phytochemicals. Their color is associated with spring, which is a time of renewal and refreshing, vital energy. In traditional Asian medicine, the color green is related to the liver, emotional stability and creativity. Greens aid in purifying the blood, strengthening the immune system, improving liver, gall bladder and kidney function, fighting depression, clearing congestion, improving circulation and keeping your skin clear and blemish free.
Leafy greens are the vegetables most missing from the American diet, and many of us never learned how to prepare them. Start with the very simple recipe below. Then each time you go to the market, pick up a new green to try. Soon you'll find your favorite greens and wonder how you ever lived without them.
