11:11

A few months back I started seeing the number 11:11. Which, according to Doreen Virtue means That there are miracles all around us and that we are headed down the right path we just need to look for the signs. Well, that is the jist of what it means. I had never seen this number or this time as much as I have these last few months in my entire life. At the time when I first saw it there were so many changes going on in my life. I was moving or looking for a place to move. And some other things were going on as well. It was a trying time for me to say the least.

But, when I kept seeing the number 11:11 I knew it meant that I just needed to follow my inner guidance. It has led me to some great alternative therapies for my anxiety as well as my physical pain and health issues. Which, have been helping me tremendously. Mentioned in a previous blog post if anyone is interested.

I also picked up the book I owned The Hip Chick’s Guide to Macrobiotics by Jessica Porter. I owned this book for years. I read it and loved it. I even tried to go macrobiotic and vegan before but at the time it was too hard for me to stick to. I also finally got the book  Crazy sexy Diet by Kris Carr. Her story is so inspiring how she battled her cancer. Although she still has it she is much healthier then she was and it is now something that she can live with. When you finally get at your wits end with your health issues sometimes it makes you realize all the changes you need to make. I completely believe in the whole mind-body-spirit connection.

So, I am finally embarking on a vegan way of life. I finally feel ready. I am at least going to cleanse my body for 40 days. In Crazy sexy diet she says 21 but I am going to do a few more days if I think I can handle it. Then after that I will allow myself to cheat on my vegan way of life once or twice a month. I will allow myself to eat “junkier” vegan foods once a week. Because sometimes a girl still has to eat ice cream and chocolate.

I have been doing this for 5 days now. My body is not happy about it. But, I know in the long run I will feel so much better. The hardest thing for me to give up was not food but coffee. I have limited myself to one cup a day and it has felt like torture. And sometimes I seriously crave a soda. But, I know this cleanse will be good for my body, soul, and mind.
