The Kindness Revolution...
June 19, 2010
Lately I have been feeling a bit unsure as to how to handle all the woes of the world. I do my part of course but sometimes it doesn't feel like enough. After I have signed all the petitions online, written to all the political figures that need a talkin' to, called the mayor's office, via our lovely 311 service, and had every shopping cart picked up in my community, had all the graffiti removed within my sight, called caltrans to improve upon numerous issues on our freeways, notified our city council person as to numerous issues that need attention, I ask myself 'now what?' I still feel unsettled, like I can do more, should do more, must do more. So, I realized that after all of that is said and done there is one thing left to do...live in kindness, to everyone, always. Now, that is a tall order, I agree, but we have to start somewhere, right? So, I am proposing a 'Kindness Revolution'. I will leave the 'Food Revolution' up to Jamie Oliver, whom I absolutely adore and stand behind 100%! www.jamieoliver.com He needs help too so go to his website and support him. Back to kindness...what he can do with food, our children, our country and his own country, we can all do to everyone on the planet with kindness. It's so simple. Smile at people. Look people in the eye. Say 'thank you'. Say 'you're welcome'. Don't speed. Donate some clothes to the good will. Leave a ridiculously generous tip at your local coffee spot (when no one is looking). Compliment someone. Write someone a letter. With a pen. And mail it. With a stamp. :)))
You get the idea. Be nice. For no reason. Pass it on.
I believe that by simple acts of kindness, self love, pausing to notice the little things and resonating with gratitude in our hearts is what allows us a peaceful and healthy journey through life. Many of us live in this intention daily already but adding a little more awareness to it and recognizing your deeds as well as spreading the word to others can be quite powerful energetically.Spread the word and spread the kindness!
Make this website a part of your day.
June 1, 2010
Just by signing a few petitions and taking action you can use your 'butterfly credits' you accumulate to make a difference in the world. I do. Come join me.

Food Rules
February 12, 2010
Here are a few of Michael Pollan's food rules from his book Food Rules. I live by them daily, do you?
If it came from a plant, eat it.
If it was made in a plant, don't.
Don't eat food your grandmother wouldn't recognize.
Don't eat breakfast cereals that change the color of the milk.
Avoid foods that are advertised on television.
Do all your eating at a table.
If it came through your car window then it isn't food. (no fast food)
Don't eat anything with more than 5 ingredients.
Don't eat anything that won't eventually rot.
The whiter the bread the sooner you'll be dead.
Don't buy food where you buy your gasoline. In the U.S., 20% of food is eaten in the car.
Michael Pollan breaks it down to 7 words that sum it all up. Eat food. Mostly plants, not too much. It really can be this simple with the right choices. Pick up Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Diet, Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food, Food Rules and Omnivore's Dilemma for support and guidance. If you would like to schedule a nutritional counseling session with Dove to learn more about Kind Eating please contact her directly by emailing her at dove@dovesbodies.com
Why Shop Indie?
February 12, 2010
When you shop at an independently owned business, your entire community benefits:
The Economy
- Spend $100 at a local and $68 of that stays in your community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and your community only sees $43.
- Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for our neighbors.
- More of your taxes are reinvested in your community--where they belong.
The Environment
- Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.
- Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.
The Community
- Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you.
- Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains.
- More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.
Now is the time to stand up and join your fellow individuals in the IndieBound mission supporting local businesses and celebrating independents.

Kathy Freston's Guided Peace Meditation
The world is more malleable than you think. Close your eyes, open your mind, and partake of this guided meditation. Read it slowly and with your full attention. Begin to co-create the miracle: it is our task.
Close your eyes and relax. Breathe deeply and fully, as if you are being breathed by a great benevolent force. Let the energy of God, or your higher power, move through you now and allow yourself to be a clear vessel through which this power flows.
Begin to feel this light within you grow and expand, reaching from the depths of your personal soul, out through your body so that it begins to fuse with the light of every other human being. Take a moment to fully integrate this feeling of connection.
Surrender your smaller self to the highest and holiest potential that is within. In this moment let go of the negative thoughts and judgments that grab at you and weigh you down.
In every area of your life, see where you have been functioning out of fear rather than choosing love. In every area of your life, forgive who and what has hurt you. Breathe... And now forgive yourself for the times you have missed the mark.
Feel the breath move though you - clearing, energizing, and renewing. From this internal space, begin to imagine in small circumstances and situations, little miracles manifesting. Disputes are settled with ease, you experience more random acts of kindness, and the things you worried about seemed to have disappeared entirely.
Now imagine that that very sense of lifting and healing move to bigger and more profound areas of your life. With all your senses, with all this power moving through you, bring to mind the best and most perfect scenario of a world that is healed.
Imagine a series of gentle breakthroughs: of leaders and politicians finding peaceful solutions. Of hostility that is replaced with compassion. Of an abundance of food and resources for every last being on earth. Imagine our planet being lifted out of pain and into blissful peace. Be very specific: in your minds' eye, apply the force of this collective love to every place of discord and see it heal and become light.
And as you visualize, so you will begin to perceive the world around you differently. And so the world transforms. At this very moment, you are co-creating with God, or your higher power, the unfolding miracle of peace. May you know comfort, peace, abundance, and love. May we all know it. And so it is ......

BUDDHISM - MEDITATION - YOGA - RETREAT
IN THE COLORADO ROCKIES
A JOINT PROJECT WITH THE SANTA BARBARA INSTITUTE FOR CONSCIOUSNESS, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-DAVIS & SHAMBHALA MOUNTAIN CENTER
"I am delighted at the progress being made in developing the Shamatha Project, a scientific study designed to examine the effects of long-term, intensive practice of shamatha together with the four immeasurable qualities of loving-kindness, compassion, empathetic joy and equanimity. I believe this research project has the potential to be of significant benefit for advancing scientific understanding of the effects of meditation on attention and emotional regulation, as well as in showing that traditional Buddhist meditative practices can be extremely effective in alleviating the inner causes of suffering and bringing forth the potentials of human consciousness in today's world."
