Oh Coconut, my coconut

I am pretty damn close to being obsessed with this white, chunky, buttery substance made from coconut. I first discovered it 3 years ago in a private vegan/raw food class from my friend Jenn in San Diego. We used raw cold pressed coconut butter to cook lentils and rice instead of olive oil, we also used it in our dessert of raw cacao coconut balls (sooo good and easy!). It brings a rich slightly sweet flavor and texture to whatever you add it to. I was so impressed that I went out and bought a jar at North Park Ranchos Natural Foods (which is now closed) and Googled the hell out of it.

Bio

I grew up on 10 acres in a suburb of San Diego with a view of downtown and the Pacific Ocean. I witnessed the sun sets from the back porch with absolute awe every time. The human body gives me a similar sense.

It's my day off

Cooking dinner with SomaFM Lush playing and a coconut citrus candle lit in the window. I am so Zen sometimes I amaze myself. On the other hand, I can be so un-Zen I have to roll my eyes. For example; today I got a 60 minute massage at EarthBody in Hayes Valley. The inside is comfy apothecary /jungle experience complete with amber mood lighting. My therapist was so lovely, I found out she's been a massage therapist for 21 years (me= humbled!). Unfortunately during the massage my mind kept saying "you forgot all about my quads" "i don't need attention there i need it in my QL" " agg more head please (scalp massage;)". Then at the end it was like "Fuck! I need 90 minutes". The part of me that always wants more makes it really difficult to be fully present in the moment. As well as the controlling side that knows the perfect way to do everything.

All Good Things

Sipping some Yogi "Breathe Deep" tea. The qoute says "Serve humanity so that people feel we are kind to them". That does not make any sense to me. I serve simply because I AM kind and also I'm an Aquarius so it's just my calling.

Massage

Here is a simple description of each of the styles I have studied and practice. Some I offer individually but a blend of Swedish, Deep Tissue, NMT, Sports, Shiatsu, Thai and energy work is my signature massage.
