Hey Everybody
Well I have just come back from a great trip to Toronto. I got the chance to hang out with my 3 year old niece, Geri for the first time in almost a year. It's amazing how much kids grow between the ages of 2 and 3. In the past I would have found myself dwelling on all that lost time and the things I missed seeing her do for the first time, such as eating her first handful of hemp seeds, which my sister beat me to, ha, ha. Not anymore. Several years ago I discovered the Power of Food and during the same time I discovered the power of positive thinking. Now that I have seen first hand what positive thinking can manifest, it has allowed me to live from a place of joy and purpose. This last week with Geri and other family members was spent sharing in positive energy and not living in the past or the present, but in the living essence of the very moment of each and every day. It's funny how kids seem to get this idea very easily. Geri has become a beautiful little girl with lots of life. She doesn't live on past experience or spend countless hours dwelling on the future, she is ever present in the NOW, just like a precious flower in nature.
Many of our daily actions have become routine and controlled to the extent that we have forgotten or have never really known who we are or what our purpose is. If this is speaking to you than I want to say HELLO, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! So many of us live this way and our health is a reflection of this unconscious survival. Not only are you not alone, but by reading this you have now become a part of a growing collective of like minded people searching for something more, something REAL. I am here to tell you that you are so close to shifting and awakening the health within. The final step to the realization of what is possible for you lies within the process of ALLOWING.
ALLOWING is the elimination of doubt. If you doubt you are capable of achieving your wildest dreams, than you will be forever lost in the cage of your thoughts. The ego (your little voice, you know the one, we all have at least one) wants you were you are, likes the status quo, feels comfort in the routine. If the routine is driving you health into the dumps, than it's time to remove the doubt and begin to allow yourself the freedom to achieve your life's purpose. Even the idea of becoming healthier does not have to be a daunting task and by being here RIGHT NOW, you have brought the reality of awakening the health within even closer.
I am coming from this pace of distress. As many of you know, over 8 years ago I was so full of stress, depression, anxiety, overweight, pre-diabetic, etc, etc, etc. that my entire life was essential crumbling around me. That was the old Adam. The new Adam lives through Joy and purpose and cherishes every moment of every minute of ever hour of very day, week, month and year. You can have your cake and eat it too, you just have to start allowing and never, ever doubt yourself along the way.
You are a source of inspiration and I am happy you are here RIGHT NOW.
In Good Health

Just "Being"
Hi Power of Foodies
It's been a little while since my last post and I want to apologize for that. You see, for the longest time I have been working very hard on bringing my message on how to become healthier through food to a larger audience. Somewhere along the way I got caught up in the idea that everything I do has to be perfect and if it is not, than forget it. The blog is one of those. I realize now that it's not about being perfect, its about "being". I am just at the tail end of the worst cold I have had since I started on my Power of Food journey over 7 years ago. My desire for perfection has always been unrealistic. There is no perfection, there just is. Now my message to you has grown to include not only the ways in which to become healthier through food, but due to my own sacrifices in health and wellness, my message now includes the ever evolving ways to discover how to just "be". It is in our ability to live our lives as human "Beings" as opposed to humans "Doing", that we reach a true level of wellness that can be sustained long term. It is who we have to be to become healthier that counts and not in the doing. This is relatively new concept for me, "Being", and I have to thank many mentors and visionaries for helping me find the way. Two special thanks go out to Michael Losier, author of Law of Attraction, who has been a personal mentor of mine now for about a year and Eckhart Tolle, who book's "The Power of Now" and "A New Earth" have helped me understand what the idea of "Being" is all about.
Food is so important to our health and I am ready to help you in any way to awaken the health within. The idea of "Being" is just as important to your health as food and I highly recommend checking out www.oprah.com to watch her interviews with Eckhart Tolle on his book, A New Earth.
I will be writing more often in my blog, because not only does it feel GREAT to share and just "BE" without fear of perfection, but it is a wonderful way for me to stay in touch with every one of you. I truly would love to hear from each and every one of you with any questions you may have or if you just need someone to talk to. Until the next post.......

p.s. You know I read over my message about 3 times before posting it. Usually it would be a lot more than that. YAHOO. I'm working on the perfection thing and it sure feels good to let go a little.
