At least once or twice a month I do a day of Silence. A girl has to rejuvenate and be still. On this day of Silence I do not speak for 4-8 hours. I eat only Raw foods, pure water and coconut water. I meditate, pray and read spiritual books. My bible being the main book I read. I do yoga and breath work during this time. It is amazing. My own little retreat. During this time I come up with some awesome ideas for my skincare company and my wellness company. I get inspired with new recipes in my head. The best part is the insight and wisdom that comes from being silent and listening to your truth.  I did this for a year every week and what came out of it is a new book, Whispers of Silence, stay tuned for it’s release. 

 

Today I made my RAW Kale Apple and Carrot Salad with A Herb Lemon Zucchini and Squash Pasta with radishes and tomatoes. It was divine. I also start my day of Silence with my INDIAN Ginger Lemon and Honey tonic. I drink about 32 oz. of this with coconut water. 

Here is the recipe for the Meal I had today and remember to take time out to rejuvenate. All we give to ourselves and others is what we pour into ourselves each day. “Pour a cup of goodness, love, kindness and compassion for yourself first and then you will have more than enough to give to others.” LMW

Herb Lemon Zucchini and Squash Pasta

 

1 large zucchini 

1 large yellow squash

2 small red radishes

3 cherry tomatoes (cut in half)

chopped greens of your choice

1 tbsp Bragg’s Organic Sprinkle 24 herbs and spices seasonings ( more if needed)

2 tbsp organic lemon juice

2 tbsp organic olive oil

Peel and spiralize the squashes using a vegetable spiralizer or you can shred them into ribbons using a vegetable peeler.

 

Put vegetable pasta with the seasonings, olive oil, lemon juice and greens into a bowl and toss gently until seasonings and olive oil covers all the vegetable pasta.  Garnish with the radishes on the pasta and tomatoes around the pasta. I like to drizzle a little more olive oil and Bragg’s seasonings at the end. Enjoy.
