Hi everyone -- I’m so excited about 2008! Partly because I’ve learned to be so grateful for LIFE, for every day, after watching two friends die of cancer last year.

And 2008 is an ALL-2 year! My zodiac sign is Cancer. They say Cancer is ruled by the moon and number two -- the yin yang symbol of cancer.

In 2000 I left USA for South Africa, in 2002 a New York friend paid the deposit on a house at the beach for me -- she owns 27%, it’s called equity-sharing. Google that word if you want a home but don’t have a downpayment.

In 2004 I went to Australia twice for a global get-together of meditators. What excitement does 2008 hold?

* GREETING THE DAY IN JOY *

Try this magic trick. Begin and end every day with a Big Smile for three breaths. First thing when you wake, turn up the corners of your mouth, and feel the Smile in your whole being -- 3 breaths is a long time to focus!

Then say Thank You for three things you are grateful for. It doesn’t matter who you’re saying Thank You to. When it’s from your heart, it goes to the right place. Repeat before going to sleep :)

You are the creator of your destiny. Destination (the steps you take today) determines destiny. A Big Smile is for me the only destiny I want, to feel completely content.

All governments should follow the lead of tiny Bhutan in northern India, where Happiness is the purpose of life. Let’s focus on creating lifestyles where we experience the most happiness.

The goal is not to work harder! Unless you’re trying to escape yourself. I once saw this beautiful poster of sunlight streaming through an avenue of trees, with the caption:

"Don’t run, go slowly, you’ve only as far as yourself to go."

When you find yourself, you find your voice. You release the courage to do your service. It’s not easy. It’s scary. But if I take it gently, without haste, and with living food inside me, I can do it one tiny step at a time.

Finding your voice is a brand new adventure every day. It’s not a one-off thing. It’s eternally present. It’s our treasure inside. Every day we discover a new jewel in our very own treasure. What an incredible gift we’ve been given to dig with, the gift of Free Will.

I used to beat up on myself for my slavish addiction to McDonald’s chips and strawberry milkshake. Back in 1990, free will was not a gift. It was a guilt trip. I guilt-tripped myself into endless misery.

Today I say, All Thanks to the liberating power of LIVING foods! Today there’s no guilt. Simply tremendous gratitude that every day I awake I’m FREE! And there’s LIVING foods in my home! Without a doubt, the GoGreen Automatic Sprouter took me from death to LIFE, see:

http://www.eatsprouts.com/vitem-spr.html

The goal is to feel the breath of life in everything we do. And to do only that which supports the Eternal Breathing In and Breathing Out.

* THE UNIVERSE COMES TO HEAL *

The goal is not to consume products. Corporations and governments who pursue that goal are at war with each other and with all life on earth. In the end they will lose and NATURE will win. On this our biologists are agreed.

Look, I’m as guilty of retail therapy as the next person. When I’m bored or too scared to follow my heart, I go shopping in a bookstore or food store. I arrive home with stuff I don’t need and don’t really want.

Yet for every ten steps the long way round I go, I take one small step forward on the straight and narrow. It’s that small step to which the Universe responds. It seems to take a thousand steps toward me for every one I give.

That’s how the GoGreen Automatic Sprouter got invented. At the time I was watching endless junk movies and eating a big bag of chips a day. But also taking those tiny steps forward. The steps led to a Sprouter which people use around the world for fresh organic greens daily.

The chips fell by the wayside. They tried to cling to me, but had no chance against my Sprouter’s LIVING foods. The LIFE FORCE in food rebuilds you from inside out. You lose the desire for junk. It begins to taste so gross -- as gross as the corporations who make it. They too leave a bad taste in my mouth.

If you buy chocolate, try to get the "fair trade" label. A BBC documentary "Bitter Sweet" reveals that the Ivory Coast farmers who supply half the world’s chocolate, have received the same price for their cacao pods for the past 34 years. Children are sold for a few dollars to work as unpaid slaves in the cacao fields. They have no chance of going to school.

* TEACH OTHERS *

In the morning when I say my Three Gratitudes, I think of one step I’ll take today that will give me and others true and lasting happiness.

Right now I’m re-arranging my home to teach others about living foods. It’s easy. You can do it too. You use the mp3's of experts so you don’t have to do any talking. Read how in my last newsletter here:

http://eatsprouts.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/health/20071216064830/

* SETTING YOUR GOALS *

You DO know you should write your goals, don’t you? David Wolfe says in his fantastic course on "Weight Loss and Peak Performance" -- get the course here:

http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=669457

"Writing down goals gives you the biggest benefit for the least amount of work of anything you could ever do in your life."

You don’t even have to read your goals. So long as they are written somewhere, in your computer or on a piece of paper, somehow this alerts the Universe to bring it to you.

One goal I wrote is to eat LIVING foods every day! I was listening to the two Drs. Clement speaking at Raw Food World Summit 2 -- the conference proceedings are here:

http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=675301

Every speaker is so inspiring!

* LIVING FOODS - A DIVINE GOAL *

The Clements were saying how today’s rawfood movement has lost touch with its roots in living foods.

In the 20th century Szekely and Wigmore led the way in healing with raw foods (and Herbert Shelton). They used LIVING foods to heal. They weren’t into raw carrot cake or raw pizza. Their healing tools were LIVING wheatgrass, growing in the moment you juice it, LIVING baby greens like sunflower, and LIVING breathing sprouts.

Dr. Doug Graham warns in Raw Summit 1 that if it looks like pizza and tastes like pizza, then it’s as bad for you as regular pizza. You can download Dr Doug from this page -- F^ree mp3:

http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=634396

Raw pizza is terrific at parties and pot-lucks -- we go there for the food! But for everyday living, we need to support the breath in plants.

* SPROUTING BUCKWHEAT *

An easy way to begin LIVING foods today is to sprout buckwheat. It’s a pseudo-grain -- looks and acts like a grain but is not a real grain. It does not have the high-starch of grains that’s so difficult to digest raw, even when sprouted. The other pseudo-grains are wild rice, quinoa and amaranth.

Good germinating buckwheat can be hard to find in local US health stores. I buy organic buckwheat from www.kitchengarden.co.za which sprouts beautifully. Buckwheat is high in Rutin, a bioflavonoid that strengthens blood vessels and capillaries (good for eyes), increases circulation to hands and feet, and reduces blood pressure. It cleans and strengthens your intestines (helps with diarrhea) writes Paul Pitchford in "Healing with Whole Foods."

You soak the buckwheat for maximum half-hour (Wigmore advised 15 minutes). Then sprout in a jar for a day or two depending on the time of year -- it sprouts quicker in warm summer. If you don’t know how to jar-sprout, read my guidelines here:

http://www.eatsprouts.com/dhd/recipes.html#grind-wheat

One problem with jar-sprouting -- the buckwheat coalesces into a soggy mass (but still sprouts). Soggy breeds bacteria though you can’t see any mold with your naked eye.

In contrast, when you use the GoGreen Sprouter, it automatically mists the buckwheat every three hours. This aerates and oxygenates it, keeping it free of mold. Everything grows with so much energy in an Automatic Sprouter!

* EASY BUCKWHEAT CHIPS-substitute *

For porridge I blend the buckwheat sprouts with banana and dates. It’s so satisfying. In Brooklyn I ate this for breakfast before rushing into Manhattan for work. I included sprouted quinoa. It lasted me until 2pm when I began to get hungry again. I stopped eating white-flour muffin from Au Bon Pain after I began my buckwheat-quinoa porridge.

For potato chips-substitute, I eat buckwheat crunch. It’s my TV snack after salad or Green Smoothie. You simply marinate sprouted buckwheat in soya sauce for couple hours, then dehydrate it for a day until 100% dry and crunchy. The recipe is here:

http://www.eatsprouts.com/dhd/food.html#gr-crunch

Of course you can also marinate in something sweet like watery raw honey or maple syrup, then dehydrate. This will give you granola. Learn more about dehydrators here:

* STOP GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD *

For my chips (buckwheat crunch) I use organic soya sauce made with Himalayan pink crystal salt -- from www.kitchengarden.co.za. It’s good to support that website. It’s owner, Joseph Feigelson, is doing fantastic work helping to give Africans a new lease on life. See his other websites www.nkozihomes.co.za and www.nopilife.org.

In the capitalized world, we can choose to free ourselves from corporate power. We can even reduce that power -- for instance, GM food (genetically modified) could not take off in UK and Europe -- as it has in US and SA. British and European consumers demanded it be labeled, then refused to buy the label. Visit:

http://www.seedsofdeception.com

In US and SA it’s not labeled. GM food will destroy more life on earth than global warming ever will -- if US citizens continue to let it pass. Please take a moment today to send this to your representatives:

www.thecampaign.org/house/houseform.htm

In the undercapitalized world, hungry people have no choice but to work as slaves in the global economic system. Until someone who cares, like Joseph, creates new structures that are liberating. And US citizens support the new structures when they go shopping. Please shop today at:

http://www.kitchengarden.co.za

* HIMALAYAN PINK CRYSTAL SALT *

Why do so many rawfood recipes call for Celtic sea salt? In sea salt the minerals are dead and statically isolated.

My money is on Himalayan crystal salt -- it’s the only salt with a holistic, delicate living crystal structure. It has the complete range of minerals -- all weaved together synergistically in ional state (easy for cells to absorb).

The crystalline structure is forever morphing, it’s never static. At 400x magnification, you see the spaces in-between the crystal branches are empty, showing it’s totally free of pollutants.

Dr Barbara Hendel and Peter Ferreira write in "Water & Salt - The Essence of Life":

"Himalayan crystal salt contains powerful life building forces for the organs and nervous system. When taken as food, it has a vital energetic effect on the body."

On boiling hot days, I’ll eat extra Himalayan salt with water. In the bad old days I used to eat chips on a hot day.

I use Himalayan daily in my distilled water -- 1/4 teaspoon salt to 2 liters (half-gallon) of water. Dr. Batmanghelidj advises in "Your Body’s Many Cries for Water" to use 1/2 teaspoon but that’s too salty for me. I buy my salt from www.kitchengarden.co.za

* JUPITER ORION WATER IONIZER *

I prefer to drink alkaline water from the Jupiter Orion Ionizer here:

http://www.eatsprouts.com/water/specs-3.html

But I can’t keep up with replacement filters in South Africa. In US they’re only $52. The Orion is so much quicker than distilling water. PLUS it’s rich in anti-oxidants to quench the free radicals which age us.

We help to clean and rebuild the temple of our body-mind, when we drink alkaline water from a water Ionizer. Get it ON SALE this week at:

Orion’s alkaline water is the easiest way to reduce the effects of junk food on children!
