Jewels From The Garden

Nature is so grand!! It gives us blessings in every season...especially this new season of Summer

The color of this season is vibrant, vivid and stunning.  What attracts your eye to the side of the road as you are driving more than an outdoor fresh fruit and vegetable stand? 

The opportunity to choose the Edible Jewels From The Garden,  resplendent in all of their glorious colors should make your heart happy.  Not only are they pleasing to your eye, but did you know that the colors of these gifts have a purpose in our good health?

When you choose from the RED category of fruit and vegetables, your choice
helps maintain a healthy heart, strong memory function and can even lower the risk of some cancers.

When you choose from the ORANGE/YELLOW category, your choice helps maintain heart, vision and a strong immune system.  This group is rated high invitamin C and folic acid.

The GREEN category of fruits and vegetables help lower the risk of some cancers, reduce the risk of heart disease, maintains vision, aids red blood cells and helps keep bones and teeth strong.

The BLUE/PURPLE category provide antioxidants that promote healthy aging, healthy hearts and strong memory function.

There is another category and that is WHITE/TAN/BROWN fruit and veggies.  These give us folic acid, fiber, potassium, selenium and vitamin C.

So...go ahead...shop for those fabulous gems...try some RED, sweet and ripe strawberries in your breakfast smoothie.  How about YELLOW summer squash sauteed with a WHITE fresh Vidalia onion for lunch.  Oh yes...fresh spring GREENS for your dinner side salad....ahh..what could be better?  Dessert anyone?  Well, there are those richly colored  BLUEberries over some frozen yogurt waiting for you.

It is said..."We are what we eat"...if that is true...then we are very wealthy indeed!

Bon Appetit!!!

Grow...Grow...Grow!!


Ahhh....Spring!  A fresh new season bursting with new life!!

The seasons hold such lessons for us all!

The visual baroness of winter was really a season of rest.  A needed time to regroup but always knowing there was life waiting for just the right time to burst forth.

That time is now here.  The time to realize there is a fresh new beginning...the time to grow stronger and healthier than we have ever been.

Imagine the life of a flower seed.  It's very life depends on the realization that
it is destined to be a thing of beauty.  To realize that it has everything inside of it to become all it is meant to be.  To have the determination to break out of the hard shell that encases it and push through hard elements.

Let's take a deep breath and ready ourselves for our new season.  Emerging our of our winter's rest, appreciating each new day as our opportunity full of purpose.

The Talmud says to us that "Each blade of grass has its Angel that bends over it and whispers, "Grow...Grow...Grow!"

Listen closely....and then GROW!
