Sunday Smoothie ~ Sunshine In A Glass

MARCH 13, 2016

**Sunshine In a Bottle Lemon Smoothie**

(original title)
It is pouring rain here.
We so need this precious water, but it is hard to remember
that blue skies and warmer days
are just around the corner...
This recipe is from Lori's blog called "[foxes love lemons](http://foxeslovelemons.com/lemon-smoothie)."
It is the perfect thing for a grey Winter's day
while dreaming of summer...
I tweaked the ingredients for this smoothie a bit.
For the original recipe,
please visit Lori at the link above.

**Sunshine In a Glass Smoothie**
Makes 2 Servings

**Ingredients:**
Please use organic!
- 1 cup full fat Greek yogurt\* (substitute with coconut plain yogurt for a dairy free and vegan spin on this recipe)
- 1 cup ice cubes- for a warm day (or filtered water for a cold day)
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 10 to 16 drops of liquid stevia (this replaces the 2 tablespoons of honey from the original recipe)
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger\*\*
- 1/2 tsp grated fresh turmeric\*\* (1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric)

**Directions**
- Blend all ingredients
- Top with a pinch of powdered turmeric and/or bee pollen when done.
- Enjoy

\* The original recipe called for low-fat honey vanilla yogurt. I find the flavored yogurts too sweet for my taste and current research is showing that fat-free and low-fat yogurt is not good for us! I also like the tang that the Greek yogurt adds to this recipe.

\*\* I keep one-inch pieces of ginger and turmeric in my freezer so I always have them fresh on hand for smoothies and grating into other recipes.

The Retiring of a Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

Labyrinths provide us with a path to practice change. Some labyrinths have withstood the passage of time for thousands of years. Others are here for just an afternoon, drawn in the sand at the edge of the ocean. Many modern labyrinths were meant to last for years, but because of unforeseen circumstances their time is shorter than intended. And they once again help us to practice letting go and giving thanks for the time they are with us. The Labyrinth of Life at the Sebastopol, California Teen Center reached such place of letting go and is at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another chapter that is yet unknown.

Making A Three Circuit Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

Sometimes... a labyrinth can take years to become a physical reality. In 2018 I met with my friend Deb, to discuss her desire to have a labyrinth on the beautiful land she lives on. Despite our plans and several meetings, listening to the land and finding the right spot, the labyrinth did not come to fruition. Fast-forward five years and in the blink of an eye... it happened!
