green-yellow juice: kale, cucumber,parsley, tumeric root, ginger, lemon and valencia orange. wake up and live!
august is green juice feasting time for me. miracles happen as we cleanse our shining selves. last summer i did 10 days of juicing and had a spiritual(?) awakening— suddenly, i had to go vegan— i could not eat animals anymore. no more chevre i realized. i was shocked by my decision. my nervous system knew the truth, but my personality was sad i wouldn’t be eating chevre in provence anymore. near the end of the 10 days of green juicing last summer i drove across nevada and over to mendocino and attended the “vibrant living conference” at living light culinary school (where i had gone to raw chef school a few years earlier) i met will tuttle http://www.worldpeacediet.com and john robbins http://www.johnrobbins.info/ and in a very non dogmatic way they both answered my question about why they were vegans. they chose not to commodify animals. animals are sentient beings just like us. it was pretty simple to me. i wasn’t going to eat my friends— my fellow sentient beings. i wanted to be free. i feel heavy…and alive when i talk about this. it is very real. i wish we would all be vegan and let the animals be. my friend says all animals will be free by 2020. i wish it was sooner.
and if you want more tips/info on how to successfully green juice fast/feast—please leave a comment here and i will email you.
(i omit the valencia orange —no fruit sugar in green juice while fasting)

el bag.
our goddess riikka is so gracious to pose for me wearing her new el bag— in our fave spot— good earth’s produce section. i find myself there often… grounding into the fresh, alive organized beauty of this lovely space.
“let us call it translating…” vincent van gogh wrote in a letter to his brother theo from st remy, france (where I also found my favorite linen blouses 116 years later),—regarding painting his version of “the sower”, a well known painting at the time by Millet. I decided to ‘translate’ the “el bag” after falling in love with a similar denim bag at my friend louesa’s shop, august, in oakland, ca.
my new denim bag attracted attention… and I loved the casual hippy energy it carried… and I had an idea.
coincidentally, my boyfriend steve (a thriftstore denizen) seemed to be getting more serious about his sewing habit, finding (collecting) sewing machines, fabric and experience through craigslist, thrift stores, word of mouth, (his friend stanley’s 93 year old mother).
steve prefers vintage Singer brand sewing machines (both born in New Jersey).
though the original bag was denim, steve convinced me I should consider other fabrics he had collected…the most perfect grey/pale pink tweed, a faded denim, a unique beige camouflage— all with a revealed “selvedge” —the finished edge of a bolt of cloth—usually decorative in nature.

when a friend introduced me to green juicing in the morning while living at the beach, she suggested i have fat in my stomach before drinking the juice. it sounded right, and i really enjoyed the idea of more than just juice. the surprisingly lovely “pulp salad” a small pile of pulp (green star juicer–the best! twin gear—easier on the veggies, more enzymes, less pulp) leftover from kale, celery, parsley, cucumber,ginger and lemon with sliced avocado, hemps seeds (two good fats and excellent omega profile!) and a sprinkle of himalayan sea salt and squeeze of lemon. delicious and full of fiber—and consuming the “whole food”. i feel very satisfied (and vibrant!) after this meal. i continue to drink green juice with more hemp seeds as i enjoy my pulp! yum! let me know…!
