Sara’s Superfood Smoothie

A friend of mine came up with this delicious and nutritious smoothie so her daughter could get “everything” at once. Sara loves it, and so do we!

• 1 banana
• ½ cup strawberries, sliced
• 4 tablespoons plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon liquid chlorophyll
• 1 tablespoon hemp oil
• ½ cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons goji berries, presoaked (optional)
• 1 packet Emergen-C, or another vitamin C powder

If you are using goji berries, soak them for two hours before you make the smoothie.

Blend ingredients until smooth. Add a little more orange juice or water if the consistency is too thick for your taste.

Spring Seasonal Festivals

In March we see the more tangible signs of spring—grass and trees begin to green, birds return from where they have wintered, and we breathe in the warmer breezes that herald summer ahead. Be careful, however—March can be a month of surprises and changes. Celebrate spring by bringing fresh flowers into your home, and take advantage of the first fruits and vegetables in the markets. March marks the vernal (or spring) equinox, one of only two days of the year where the hours of daylight and the night are balanced equally. The vernal equinox, like its partner, the autumnal equinox, exemplifies the concept of equilibrium and the idea that two halves create a whole: only with the darkness can light be seen and appreciated.

Prosperity Altar: Using the Laws of Attraction

The full moon is the time for fomenting your intentions and seeing them to fruition. You can increase your prosperity by remembering one of the most basic principles of prosperity: by giving, so shall you receive. To create a prosperity altar, consecrate the area with sea salt. Cover a low table with green and gold altar cloths or scarves and place matching candles on it. Each day, “recharge” your altar with an altar gift such as flowers, jade or other green crystals, golden flowers, scented amber resin, and coin-shaped pebbles.
