Happy October!
Following the pattern of September, October gets its name from Octo, meaning eight, as it is the eighth month on the old calendar system. Throughout the month festivals for the dead increase with the waning light and late night harvest restively continue.
Magical efforts are accentuated by October's characteristics include clearing away old, unnecessary things or habits so that our body, mind and spirit are prepared for winter. Beyond this, metaphysical efforts for health, luck and debt paying seem common ensuring that winter, the season of rest and death will come and go with the least negative effect. Spirituality, universal truth, unity, cleansing and abundance all again are reinforced this month....
October's Goddess, Cherokee First Woman symbolizes all animals and plants. This Goddess appears in Cherokee myths as an ancestress to the tribe of animals and plants. Again purification and blessing release the Goddess's spiritual nature, rejuvenation and abundance into every cell of your body.
As we recently completed our 21 day vegan cleanse, going inside - deeply discovering your beauty from the inside out continues....
Enjoy this festive month & changing of the season. It is truly one of my favorite months of the year.

Half Way Through September!
September 15 already... how time flies!
Happy Holidays to all my Jewish friends!
As the month continues I would like to add a few more ideas regarding purification... As some of you may know, we are following a 21 day cleanse, today is day 12. It is very apparent that emotions are coming to the surface, it is part of the healing process... the cleanser you feed your body, the more your energy will shift - it doesn't feel comfortable, but I'm here to tell you that is normal. Feeling anxiety and more emotional than usual is common.
Take the time to be kind to your body, listen to the signals - rest. Take some quiet time each day without chaos.. no cell phone, no ipad, no music - pray or whatever that means for your. Your body is your temple!! The cleaner you feed it - you will begin to notice supple changes as your energy shifts, your needs will change and so will your cravings.
Do something kind for a perfect stranger. Acts of kindness attract universal energy which is contagious. Kindness never goes out of style, the smallest gesture can invoke such happiness for someone...
Live, Love, Laugh - in a few weeks Autumn will be here. Enjoy the most beautiful month! Inspire someone, volunteer in the community, make that phone call to a friend who needs a boost and you will increase your own personal power without even knowing it..
Stay in touch on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube!
Lots more going skin deep - beauty from the inside out....

Optimal Wellness of Glen Cove
Good evening everyone!
Today I visited Optimal Wellness in Glen Cove to help further my cleanse. This place is the premier center for cleansing, detoxification and rejuvenation therapies! If you describe an ailment to them, it is very likely they have an all natural method to help solve your issue.
Today I used the B.E.S.T. Energy Spa - an ionic foot bath. This B.E.S.T. system charges the water of the foot bath and the water then charges your body. Your body absorbs this energy on a cellular level and allows the body to release waste products more readily. These wastes show up in the water in different colors.
This picture is from today! The treatment is 35 minutes and the water starts out CLEAR! My water turned a murky orange/brown with a foam like substance on the top. These colors represent detoxing of the liver, joints and yeasts. So fascinating!!

Today I also used the Far Infra-Red Sauna for 35 minutes. This is not a typical sauna with steam. This type of sauna is a better than the steam sauna; the temperature does not get as hot, the sauna is constructed of hypoallergenic wood, and the detox is much more than a steam shower. The infra-red allows you to detox internally in your kidneys, liver and even hair... as well as sweating out toxins like a regular sauna.
I will definitely be visiting Optimal Wellness again. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable, the prices are extremely fair and their services offered are just amazing! I hope you'll check them out ... www.optimal-wellness.com/!

Cleanse Week 1 Recap
Wow... 1 week down on the cleanse!
I will say, the first few days were not so easy. In the afternoon, I was definitely craving my coffee for a pick-me-up. Coffee is definitely the hardest part for me! The first 4 days I was battling with on/off headaches, wooziness and low energy. But, by the 5th day I was over the hump and feeling good!
Now, instead of feeling like a "cleanse" the Crazy Sexy Diet is feeling more like a way of life. It is starting to make sense! My body doesn't need refined sugar, animal products or processed foods... I can flourish off of fresh fruits, veggies, grains and legumes!
But... I do have to admit.. last night I cheated. After doing so good all week, Sunday night I caved in and had an espresso. It was delicious as I was having it but then later in the night.. not so much! I couldn't sleep because I was wired! Which then carried into today; my body was completely off, lack of sleep, shock to my system, etc. The espresso was too strong and my body was not used it. My stomach has been hurting and I just feel off. Lesson learned! Tomorrow is a new day!
Overall though, I am keeping my focus. I am noticing a change in my body and I am liking it! I've already said it a bunch of times, but the book Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr is not just helpful in providing motivation and recipes during this cleanse but it is so full of information to positively influence a healthy lifestyle.
For those who have not yet checked out the book... I highly highly suggest you do so! Even if you don't do the cleanse, you will definitely learn something new from this book!
Good luck to everyone on the cleanse!
Bring on the next 2 weeks!

Welcome September!
Happy September!
Can you believe it has come this quickly?!
September's Goddess Ichar-tsirew brings spirituality, purification, home, peace and organization!
Perfect timing for purification as our 21 day cleanse starts on Tuesday.
This water goddess flows into people's lives, saturating them with peaceful intentions... she revels in good organization.
As the mothers are preparing their kids for the first day of school, good organization is key. Follow the Goddess by preparing in advance. I can tell you first hand, it always worked for me. I would be up late in the night, but my son's morning would start without confusion and chaos. Some Moms even make lunch the night before.. whatever works for you and keeps you organized.
Established early in the 1600's - a neat custom that can invoke organization attributes the burying of a bundle of branches. This puts away unnecessary negativity and banishes bad habits that somehow disrupt the orderly flow of life.
Remember that being organized and reducing clutter brings purification and teaches your children great habits which will help them in every area of their daily life now and when they are parents!
September's Theme: Labor Day - work rest, recreation and prosperity!
A much deserved rest, Labor Day, reminds us to focus on rewarding ourselves for well done tasks through the last eight months.
Happy Labor Day to all!
Join me for our Goddess Purification 21 Day cleanse. Stay tuned on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube!
