Day 1

Today I start my juice fast.  I'm excited!!!  I've done this twice before for a short period of time (7-10 days).  This time I'm hoping to make it to at least 20, especially since I've now announced it to the world.  My true goal is 30 days but I'm not sure I'll last that long. =)

There are tons of benefits to juicing, and fasting this way is a great detox as well as immune booster.  After becoming very ill a few years ago, I've learned to listen to my body and take it seriously when things don't feel right.  These past few months have been very busy 'round our home...in great ways...but still busy.  I haven't been eating like I should, and I'm feeling kinda drained so it's time to get my health back on track.

I won't be posting about it everyday but I will keep you posted on my progress, struggles, weight loss and recipes.  If any of you out there have done this before I would love to hear about your experiences.  Also, if you have any yummy recipes to share that would make my day! 

Until then...
Jessie

      Go to www.hacres.com. Click on their 60 day health challenge. I did two years ago. Blood lipid #'s were fantastic at the end of 60 days. Cholesterol down 50 points, triglycerides down 50 points, hdl up 20, ldl down 20. It was fantastic. I too juice often. Plus green smoothees are fantastic. Love them. Have one every day for lunch.

Light Always Wins

 I was seven when I stepped foot into the Tel Aviv Airport accompanied by my stepdad - a Palestinian. The Israeli soldiers stood armed as they ripped through each of our suitcases, pulled my dad into a room for questioning, and detained us for several hours. We were not there as tourists. We were on our way to Jericho to visit family... but we were the enemy. Even at seven the hatred between all was undeniable. As a child I did not comprehend fully but I remember...fear. Walking the roads of that country for a month is an experience I will never forget. I remember once being at a family member's home while they argued over who was right, the Jews or Palestinians. I remember the tears, the anger, and shouting. I can't recall most of the words spoken that day. I don't know whose argument was stronger. What I do know is...what the Bible says about God's chosen people, and that in war... no one wins...even when it is necessary there is always suffering for both sides. The J...

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity.  Hatred and poison spewed from their lips.  Murderer!  Whore!  Baby killer!  You'll rot in Hell for what you did!  Over and over...  The savage mob encircled me with no escape.  Screaming just a breath away from my face.  Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground.  They spat in my hair.  Humiliated.  Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence.  Once inside my car I began to weep.   Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind.  Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists.  Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together.  Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears.  That was my experience at church...
