I attended a lecture last night about vibrational energy and the mind body connection.
For me the highlight was the following list of different ways to shift into a higher vibration and bring about the state that supports health.
Focus on compassion, joy, laughter or beauty
Breathe deeply and slowing five times
Focus on gratitude and appreciation
Gaze at or hold a crystal. Crystal hold an amazing amount of vibrational energy
Use Essential Oils, they also have vibrational energy
Listen to music that you love
Focus on a photo or picture of someone or something that you love
See if you can watch this Skype Laughter Chain video and not feel the joy of others laughing! It immediately lifts your energy

Zucchini Parmesan Crisps
I made these last night with Zucchini AND with Baby Yellow Squash - Delicious and EASY! My kind of recipe!
Zucchini Parmesan Crisps
Prep Time: 20 min Cook Time: 30 min
Serves: 4 servings, serving size 1/2 cup
Ingredients
Cooking spray

1/4 cup plain dry bread crumbs
1/8 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds. In a medium bowl, toss the zucchini with the oil. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan, bread crumbs, salt, and a few turns of pepper. Dip each round into the Parmesan mixture, coating it evenly on both sides, pressing the coating on to help it stick, and place in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Ask if...
"Ask if what you do makes a difference. It does." ~ William James
This is a good question on so many levels. Ask if it makes a difference to eat poison or fuel. Ask if it makes a difference to delay an 'indulgence' for 5 minutes. Ask if it makes a difference to go around the block one more time.
Ask if it makes a difference to be gentle with yourself instead of feeling guilty when you falter. Ask if it makes a difference to start the day in gratitude. Ask if it makes a difference to smile at the clerk when you're checking out at the store.
What you do makes a difference. And who you are makes a difference. And who you are is not just OK, it's also wonderful and special and unique.
Be the best YOU that you can be today!
Love - Gerri

In My Back Yard - Misty Hollow
Dear Friends,
Gerri's haiku reminded me...
My best friend from high school, Sally Brenner (Hammerman), and her husband Jim, own a farm and CSA near Philadelphia. We grew up near there, Sally and I. When it was time for us to head off to college, Sally went to Bennington and I headed out to the Ohio Valley to Wilmington College. Fast forward>>>> today, Sally and her husband Jim own and sponsor a CSA from their beautiful farm near where we grew up; the url is listed here
http://www.imbymistyhollow.com/
The Green Man adorns their site, and all the vegetables, fruit, and assorted good things that happen at In My Back Yard are organic and healthy. For a season, Sally drove to our house once a week, took classes at Tai Sophia in preparation for the Master's Degree in Herbal Healing, and drove back the same night. A professor in Nursing at Jefferson Med School, she really didn't need the additional degree, so she and Jim decided to concentrate solely upon community needs and educating others about healthy and vital, nutritional and delicious bounty from the garden. Each week during summer, there's a workshop of one kind or another for those who have an interest in being part of this awesome community action. Check out their website AND their blog for delicious and healthy recipes, ideas, and ways to widen your knowlege base.
Anyone feel like a field trip up to IMBY Misty Hollow? They would love having us, and I'd love introducing you to them/the farm. It's a 2 hour drive from my house.
Green and growing,
Prue
