Hey everyone, I thought I would send out a reminder about Becky and I’s class tomorrow night at The Food Garden in Orem. The address is 698 East 300 South in Provo. Here is the info from the flyer that was sent. I hope we get a big turnout. It always makes it more exciting the more people we have.

My AMAZING sister in law, Yulia, let my kids sleep over at her house while we went out. Our kids LOVE each other. She is pregnant right now and is due at the end of July. With her last delivery, she had an unassisted birth which means it was only her and her husband delivering their baby. Her birth went BEAUTIFULLY and she LOVED the experience so much she is planning on doing it again. I am really excited for her. She is one of the most courageous, strong, empowered woman I know. I will just add that she makes the BEST lentil soup. Here is the link to Yulia’s Lentil Soup.
Jumping in cold water to aid in the immune system becoming stronger is very foreign to most Americans but has been around for years in Russia. Victoria and Igor Boutenko recently sent out a newsletter where she discusses the health benefits of swimming or wading in cold water. You can read all about it HERE! I LOVE this article and I absolutely believe it. When we finish with our sweat lodge ceremony, each person is dumped with cold water to spiritually and physically keep the body strong and safe after the process of cleaning our internal house through sweating. More often than not, sweat lodges are built next to a stream or running water source where you can dunk your whole body or even wade in the water. There is a sweat lodge that was just recently built up in Nebo with a stream running right next to it. I have yet to sweat in that lodge but I am excited for when I can.
Notice the leaves starting to sprout. I wanted to cry I was so happy they were starting to come out. All our work and effort was coming to fruition. What a good feeling. Isn’t my lodge MAGNIFICENT? Any one of you are welcome to come to my backyard and see it. Or even better yet, come and sweat with us in it. If there is anyone who might be interested in participating in a lodge, just email me and let me know and I will put you on a list where you will contacted when we put a lodge together. Here are the new pictures I just took today. It has only been about 2 weeks since that those last pictures were taken. Notice how much they have grown since then. The ones of Chris and I were taken earlier but I thought they were really cute so I thought I would share.
Wow, this post is taking me MUCH longer than I thought it would. I decided that I had, not knowing it, took a longer break from the fat thing than planned. But…today I am jumping back on the wagon. I had a good time but I can tell my body is ready to go to back to no/fat & salt for awhile. So, here is what I ate yesterday.
I would love to attend one of your sweats if I’m in town. Many thanks. I ate at Living Cuisine yesterday. Every time I eat there I feel like I have a healing experience. It’s a wonderful space and worth the trip.
Jeanette,
I would love for you to participate in one of our sweats. Just send me your email address and I will put you on the list of people who are interested. I do LOVE Omars and he does put all his LOVE in his food. I LOVE his Falafal bowl! He makes OUTRAGEOUS soups. Thanks for the comments.
