Juice Feast-Day 17

BEETS..The Ultimate Blood Cleanser

Today's "alternative" juice turned out to be a beet/apple combo. INTENSE!!!!!! I've made this juice before, and it was intense then. In fact, I remember having a tough time keeping it down. I had a similar reaction today. It freaked out my stomach for about 20 minutes and then I was fine. Beets are an excellent liver and blood cleanser, but should never be taken alone. It's just too powerful and can be very irritating to the throat and esophagus. It tastes sweet when mixed with apples and makes for a very colorful juice. (get ready to pee red for hours!)


Career Crossroads

I feel like I'm at a career crossroads. It's actually something that I've been struggling with for a while now, but it feels like it's coming to a head. I'm REALLY hoping to gain some insight on this matter during my feast. So, ask and you shall receive, right?

Dear Universe:

Thanks for sending me the gift of resolve I asked for the other day. It's already come in really handy! I know your busy (hey, who isn't?), but if you have some extra time in the next 75 days, please consider this a formal request for some clarity regarding my career path. I would really appreciate putting this issue to rest :)

Thanks again!

Warmest regards,

Ellen

P.S. The strawberries were amazing!

Sleep & Dreams: 9 hrs. Two dreams last night (that I remember). They didn't seem feast related, but who knows? In one I was at a class reunion, and in the other I was hosting a party at my parents house. Neither dream left me with a bad feeling, but I wasn't exactly comfortable in each situation, either.
