Sunday Smoothies ~ Whole Foods Energy Boost Cleanse Smoothie

MARCH 6, 2016

This name is a mouthful
even before taking a sip of this delicious
power packed smoothie
that is full of healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants & protein!

It really fills you up,
giving you a burst of energy to start your morning
or pick you up in the afternoon.

This recipe came to me via my Pilate's Instructor
Jenn at [Tone](http://www.tonefitness.com/) who got it from another friend named Jenn
who shared it from [Dr. Oz's website](http://www.doctoroz.com/recipe/whole-food-energy-boost-cleanse-smoothie).

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!
