The healing journey continues...

Breakfast 

The month of May I find myself in San Diego at the Optimum Health Institute for 3 weeks in total. Not knowing what to expect other than a healthy, healing, cleansing, detox center. My expectations are exceeded with 3 classes daily on the topics I'm most interested in; digestion, raw foods and food combining, self esteem, meditation and visualization. Overwhelming amounts of excellent information. My focus, to continue healing on a deep and connected way, every cell, one by one; body, mind and spirit.

Quickly, I realized people go to OHI for many different reasons, some with "health opportunities," some to lose weight or to rest, but people come from all over the world in search of optimum health. In between the classes we meet for breakfast, lunch and dinner...all raw foods. Sprouts, salad, veggies; the best meal of the week in my opinion are the tacos on Saturday night. The pizza and spaghetti is a nice change for the pallet as well. The highlight was on the use of wheatgrass and rejuvelac.

Me, Jeff and Michelle 

The Optimum Health Institute has proven to be everything I thought it was going to be and more. The people I have met a real part of my life, like minded individuals. My quest is to complete my healing and to be a guide to others on their healing journey. It is about being better, feeling better, thinking better thoughts and I believe we should all strive to be better able bodied or not. It's not necessarily about walking, it's about quality of life and doing the right thing for yourself, loved ones and the universe.

I want to take a minute to say hi to all my new friends at OHI. Thank you for all the love and support over the last few weeks. I am proud of  my progress... cleansing, detoxing, resting, healing and learning about the body in so many ways. Not only am I physically lighter, I feel emotionally lighter and freer than ever. I also want to thank the OHI staff and the missionaries for such a life changing opportunity. Thank you for the scholarship and thank you, Lennie, for the 3rd week to complete the program ensuring I continue and succeed at home.

Graduation!! 

In order for me to bring this life style home, I need your help. I have created a "wish list" for a few items needed that are out of my budget. If you feel the desire to donate, these are some of the items needed:

-Water Filter/Ionizer 

-Dehydrator with teflex sheets

-Grinders, Hand tools, pyrex glass containers

-Raw and Organic Nuts, seeds, grains, spices 

-Large wall mirror to improve form and watch movement 

The goal is to balance a life that works with a life that counts. -Peter Block

My goals are set, my desires and dreams are in place. I push on through the eb and flow of life, the ultimate goal to help and inspire others.
