Everybody spends Thanksgiving different way.... We have our own way...  :))) Have fun

When one faces a challenge or a looking for an answer - solitude and natural environment is the best place for that.

On the way to the mountains...

On the road...  join me for singing

Pretty dark... I must say....

Turning off road...   very dark, almost cant see anything...

Arrival: Time 8PM

Swinging is always good...   Silence, please...  :)

We really liked this piece and got it about a week ago.

Day 17 Raw Food   Great weather :))))   Awesome day. Keep your chins up spirits as well.

Good morning. It is Day 14. We have made it. Two weeks on Raw Food. Feels great. Today, one of the clients made me a compliment. He asked how much caffeine I had this morning and I told him that I did not have any - just Raw vegetables and fruits :)
Breakfast: organic bananas.

Life is about simple things. I learn to enjoy them as I progress on my journey. Wedding thoughts: 150 people vs 6-8 people. My friend just had a wedding: 150 people...  Quality versus Quantity  :)  ... By getting rid of the staff from your house you free the energy.

Lunch: please see below  :)

After work, let's visit the park number three in Sandy Springs. Today is Saturday. Life consists of moments. None of them are ordinary.

We had extensive rains lately and one of my favorite spots is "gone". Deck plummeted by erosion...

On the way back from the park.

Raw Food Dinner At The House

Our lemon tree gave us the first lemon this year :)

Breakfast: Organic orange juice. 2 oranges. 1 banana.

Prepared lunch...

Looks good...  :)

Tomorrow we having a dinner at my place. Family members will join for a raw food diet feast .  I will post weekly summary to share my observations for these two weeks.

Spinach is native to Iran and adjacent areas, but did not spread to other parts of the world until the beginning of the Christian Era. The first record, written in Chinese, states that spinach was introduced into China from Nepal in A.D. 647. It reached Spain about A.D. 1100, brought by the Moors from North Africa, where it had been introduced by way of ancient Syria and Arabia.

Spinach is rich in calcium, which has always been known to create strong bones. But it is also very important for muscle building. Calcium helps relax the muscle, thus reducing the chances for cramping.

Spinach is an excellent source of vitamins C and A, and iron, and contains about 40 percent potassium. It leaves an alkaline ash in the body. Spinach is good for the lymphatic, urinary, and digestive systems.
Spinach has a laxative effect and is wonderful in weight-loss diets.

In epidemiological studies, it's been found that the more spinach consumed, the lower the risk of almost every type of cancer.

Former smokers in particular can benefit from the power of spinach. Studies have found that people who eat a serving of spinach or kale, turnip greens, bok choy, and romaine lettuce, even if they're former smokers, have a significantly reduced risk of developing lung cancer.

Spinach is also an excellent source of folate. Folate plays a significant role in preventing cardiovascular disease because it works to escort a dangerous amino acid-homocysteine-from the body.

Spinach is a rich dietary source of vitamin K - a vitamin that unlike other fat-soluble vitamins is not stored by the body in appreciable amounts and must be replaced on a regular basis. Vitamin K is essential for the production of six of the proteins necessary for proper blood coagulation.

Good morning. Thursday, Day 12 Raw Food Diet. Breakfast: orange juice. Yummy .  

6 AM , join me for the ride on the way to work. Right before sunrise...

"Everything will be all right".

After park we visit Sandy Springs Park "Big Trees Forest Reserve and run a little.

Let's Go.

Random thought meant something more. Running in the park is good "Anger management. As soon as I thought that, this guy that was walking towards me told me that I can't run, I have to walk - these trails designed for walking.  :)    Bingo. That was so awesome. As soon as I thought, I was offered to check my thought - weather I will get angry with the guy commenting on my leisure time. Of course I did not. I replied:" Thank you Sir, for information and I started walking".   :))) 

I was passing some ladies in the park, when one said:" No more singing today?"  I turned around and recognized her.  That was cool that she remembered, considering I saw here only once. I guess, my "great singing" will be engraved in that park.   :)))))   Joking, relax.

Endless running...

broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet…

Broccoli is an excellent source of  Vitamin C, K, A, folate, Fiber, manganese, tryptophan, potassium, Vitamin B6 & B12, magnesium, protein and Omega 3 fatty acids. It is also a great source of iron, calcium, zinc and Vitamin E. Wow! Quite a list!

The most respected scientific research has shown that Broccoli is a major anti-cancer food. And by major I mean, there are tons and tons of studies that it have shown to reduce cancer growth of all kinds from breast to bladder, prostate, and even skin cancer.

Together all these nutrients plus the large amount of phytonutrients (sulforaphane and indoles) that broccoli contains DEACTIVATE estrogen metabolites that promote tumor growth. In essence, the goodness of broccoli boosts our body’s detoxification enzymes which help our entire body, man or women.

Hello, everyone. Day number 11 of Raw Food Diet.  Yes, I beat my previous record - 10 days. I did no feel like posting yesterday. It's being raining for 2 days in a row. Rain has its purpose too - to think about things, to digest everything what is going on around you...

Breakfast: 2 oranges, one song and plenty emotions  :)

On my way to my Godfather...

I could not drive by this beauty. I stopped and took a picture. It is like a volcano eruption that comes out from the tree, just instead of ashes - leaves.

After Farmer's Market - sitting on the patio and eating Raw Food Lunch   and listening to rain. Join us.

We have bought juicer and squeezed fresh carrot, banana and celery juice. Yummy. That was really good.  Good dinner.

Cauliflower contains allicin, which can improve heart health and reduce the risk of strokes, and selenium, a chemical that works well with Vitamin C to strengthen the immune system. Cauliflower can also help to maintain a healthy cholesterol level.

Folate is also found in cauliflower, which is a B vitamin that is needed for cell growth and replication. For this reason, it is often recommended that women who are pregnant or may become pregnant eat significant amounts of cauliflower in order to help their unborn children develop properly.

Of course, cauliflower is an excellent source of fiber, which helps to improve colon health and can even help prevent cancer.

And, most recently, it has been discovered that cauliflower, as well as other cruciferous vegetables, such as brussel sprouts and cabbage, contain indole-3-carbinol, a substance that can affect the metabolism of estrogen in the body, and prevent breast and other female cancers.

Last night, I spend a long time uploading everything to the website: 2 more podcasts : one with Max Igan and the other one about Arrivals series. I was done at about 4:30 AM , so I decided not to go to bed, since I had to wake up at 7:30 anyway.

Breakfast - tangerines and some orange juice.

Lunch: pretty much same staff as yesterday.

So, today I feel exhausted, due to not sleeping at all. But I was able to accomplish everything what I wanted.

 At times, one feels inspiration and one should embrace on it, and once I "catch the wave" sometimes it is impossible to stop. 

Today we had some raw turnip. A little bitter but I could handle it  :)

With modern transport, we are able to buy many seasonal
foods all year round. This is not what nature intended for us. We
need to follow the seasons.

At the start of the stone fruit season,
we enjoy the new flavors and textures available and often crave
for the fruit in season, however as later season fruits become
available we tire of the early fruits and desire the latest offerings.

Our body tells us when we have had sufficient of one
fruit and are ready for a change. So it is with all foods. Through
habit however, we tend to have some foods all year round and
this is not wise.

Every food has a season. Every 3 months the season
changes. In winter, we need the warming sulfur based foods
such as cabbage, broccoli, Kale and cauliflower.

In summer, we need the cooling, high sodium, foods such as celery, coconut water & tomatoes. If we try growing such foods out of season,
we find the bugs can be almost impossible to control without
harmful chemicals or that they fail to develop very well.

If grown in season, the bugs seem to be only a minor
problem or no problem at all. This is nature’s way of ensuring
that we only have foods in season.

This in turn ensures we don’t
overdose on one food. If we follow the seasons in our selection
of foods, we will ensure we have variety for optimal health.

Studies have shown that turnip compounds help the body both ward off and detoxify cancer-causing substances. Turnips are also low in calories, a good source of calcium and iron, and high in vitamin C.

In fact, turnip juice has twice the amount of vitamin C as orange juice. Those with thyroid conditions should limit their intake of turnips since they contain substances called goitrogens, which can interfere with the functioning of the thyroid gland. For others, however, the turnip can be very healing.


According to traditional Asian medicine, eating turnips improves circulation of qi (energy) and is healthful for the blood. Nutritional researchers suggest that the turnip is an effective food for clearing mucus and treating bronchial disorders such as coughs, bronchitis, and asthma. Eating raw turnips is said to help disperse lung congestion.

Hello, everyone. Day 8. Still alive, healthy and full of energy. Breakfast... can you guess?  Yeah. 2 bananas this time :))

Lunch :)   Ate some wheat grass today. The taste was very interesting.

Right before we begin... No ordinary moments...

Today we will visit Tallulah Falls in North Georgia

On The way to Falls... Beautiful Day

Please, welcome the new owner of Indian Springs Trading Post -

Boiled Peanuts? No Thank You. I am on the Raw Food Diet  :)))

It was closed for 11 years and just reopened a year ago. A must place to visit.

As I was leaving in my car, one gentlemen waived for me, saying "Hi". Life has proved me that best people sometimes could be met just responding to "Hi" that the Creator offers. I stopped the car, and went to him to speak. It led to the following...  
Please Welcome Native Cherokees -  Wanda Lee and John Stiles

Some people stopped by. They thought I was part of the band  :)))

I wanted to spoil the concert , so I joined in making some noise.

Sharing some Native American Wisdom with us... and the song "Morning Dew" is wonderful. Please, listen to the words...  "Bathe my Soul In Sun...."
Had to re-size the file, since it was more then 100MB. Apologize for bad sound. In the future I have to take shorter clips.

Next Song was written by Wand Lee to honor Grandpa and Grandma. Sorry for low quality. Same case.

This wonderful couple comes to Indian Springs Trading Post with a lot of equipment and sings for people, not for money but out of Love for people.

Please come and join them: every Thursday and Saturday. You just come and you can jam with them :)))

Right next to Barney and these wonderful people,  there is beautiful view awaits for you  :)

We still have to get to Tallulah Gorge

At the gate, I had to pay a fee of $5. I did not have any cash on me. Only debit card. Camera was on ( turned on by mistake)  in the carrying case, so it recorded conversation with two wonderful ladies which let me through without fee. 

Human Energy...

Scared yet?

and Now?

Talking Rock...

Coming Back Was Not Fun...

Everything Comes To An End...

Thank You For Your Time

That's it, folks. We made it.   Day Number 7. Yooohooo, WHooohoooo. I will send corporate email tomorrow at work Wooho/Yoooho congratulating myself with Raw Food Diet.  :)

Breakfast: 2 oranges as usual  .

Leaving for work... Good morning, Day 7...

Side effects of Raw Food: craziness  :)))

Random Thought:
Any type of work you do, please keep the human face. Abstract from the artificial corporation and embrace unconditional Love towards other human beings. We are the one. There is no separation.

Lunch/dinner is almost the same as yesterday. We included garlic and raw peanuts in today's menu.

Coming from work at 8:30 Pm. It's getting dark early.  Merry Christmas.

1. Water.
Almost no water intake, very seldom. No desire. I guess, enough from vegetables and fruits. Before, used to drink a lot throughout the day.

2. Health.
I definitely can feel some transformation inside. I suppose to have sand in my bladder from long time ago. What can I say, I have been feeling pain
 ( detox/healing) for the past two days. It is a feeling like sand is trying to run away, which is a good thing. Anyway, I will monitor this closely.

Also, extensive coughing is present ( wet substances are leaving my lungs). It is good, since it means that something leaves the lungs that does not belong there.

3. Improved digestion.
Trust me on this one. Stool is stable, every morning the same time. Raw foods contain living enzymes that help your body digest food quickly and easily.  These enzymes are destroyed when food is cooked above 118 degrees Fahrenheit.  When you eat a big cooked meal, a large amount of energy is required to digest the meal.  This explains why you feel tired and sleepy after a big Thanksgiving dinner.

4. Energy.
The levels of energy are unprecedented. You don't need Viagra. Just eat 7 Day Raw Food Diet and you will see for yourself.
Raw food contains simple sugars, enzymes, nutrients, and minerals that our bodies need in an easily digestible form.Since less energy is needed for digestion, you have more energy available for other tasks—such as working, playing, exercise, or anything else you want to do. 

5. Less sleep.
Yesterday I went to bed at 4:30 AM and woke up at 10:00 AM. Had enough energy and did not feel emotionally drained. I have noticed that I require less sleep then I accustomed to.

When we eat large amounts of cooked food, the energy required for digestion taxes our bodies.  As a result, we need to sleep more to recover.
