40 Days of Nothing but Juice

I thought I might begin my first post with food, as it's where everything started. A few years ago, I decided to heal myself through food, and along the way, have grown into a completely different person. In an attempt to achieve the perfect diet, I came across juice feasting: a 92-day program to healing the body purely through food.

I've tried to juice feast multiple times, and for some reason have never seemed to make it past day 10. The results are amazing - better than anything else I've tried, I always look and feel great, and rather quickly I might add, but there was always something that made me stop. It's like juice feasting was a bridge between the person I was and the person I was supposed to become. I would get on, and even take a few steps, but just wasn't quite ready to cross it yet.

Well, here it is - almost two years later, and I'm finally ready to cross. My intention is set to feast for at least 40 days; I'm on day 4, and it's easy. It's easy because my reason for doing it is bigger than me. It doesn't just involve losing weight (which, I'll admit, is definitely a nice side effect) but my "why" involves so much more. It involves getting in touch with the core of me, and letting it out for everyone to see. It involves accomplishing something my heart has always wanted, but was too afraid to try. It involves stepping into my own business, my own heart, my own life - and paving a way for others to do the same. And above all, it comes from a place of love, and not a reaction to fear. It's about trusting and listening to my Self.

I'll tell ya - there isn't a chocolate that tastes better than that! :o)

P.S. For those of you who are not already familiar with Juice Feasting, it's a 92-day program, where you take in nothing but juices. Super cleansing for the body, and very enriching for the Soul. For more info check them out online:

    That line really resonnated with me, Nikkuu. I think that's the hardest thing, the biggest roadblock. Definitely something I've been struggling with. I feel like I've been making progress with baby steps, and your example inspires me and gives me courage to take bigger steps. (maybe toddler steps?) ;-)

    So excited that you have a blog - looking forward to reading more!

  2. Thank-you so much for sharing that Zazzy :o) I'm honoured.

    Yes - being ourselves, truly as the person we are, is definitely no small feat!! I think it's something most people struggle with - I know for me, it's taken me some time to get here! I'm so glad you're inspired to take bigger steps - I promise, you'll be so glad you did.
