organizing +de-cluttering

Today was a de-cluttering day.
A lot was put away and things were really only left if they are absolute necessities.

It feels much lighter all around.
It feels so much healthier and beautiful!

I have yet to de-clutter clothes and useless things including paper work and books and other items that I will donate so de-clutter the house.

The less, the more space, the more beautiful, the clearer one can think!

I have been gardening and planting out of my compost as new plants are growing and some I have no idea what they are. I'll simply take care of them and water them and plant them somewhere when I feel they are small for their pot!

I love going out on nature and exploring what new life is being created on a DAILY basis.

I saw yesterday Jalapeno chilies out and about!!! wow how exciting is that!!!!
I heard eating them red and ripe is super healthy. We often use them while in their green state so they are much more stronger and spicier...

The coming month of July will be a very busy one. Couple weddings, baby showers, but I would like to focus on a calendar I created while on the plane back from New Orleans. According to my calendar, I have to focus on getting things ready and not loosing my main focus, I have to finish translations and few goals for this month. Once I get that down, I will certainly feel accomplished and ready to move on but with my clear goals I feel it'll be much easier to succeeded in anything I set myself out to do.

KA SUNDANCE HERE IN US 2011 TOUR!!! Raw Foodist!

oh no!!!!!! 30day challenge is OVER!
I will keep this blog definitely and have learned so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now from my compost I have so many veggies growing! I had to take them out and plant them somewhere else!!!! I love composting, i love saving/recycling and I love raw foods and decluttering!
It has been an amazing expereince.
I didn't keep up with "no spending" because the fundraiser for Ronan Godfrey required that I made lot of purchases online and in stores like flyers, banners, cards, copies etc.

Day 25

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO busy today!!!
but we had a wonderful time at the ticket sale! We made a good chunk of $$$ but we got to pay back a lot of people so let's see.
Today Ronan started his Chemotherapy. We prayed for him and will continue to do so!
Here is a picture of today's sales. We were selling books, flowers and gift baskets, all to get everyone's attention. And people gave generously.
May God reward each and everyone's donations and intentions.
Give love and love will return to you.
Give money and money will come back to you.

Multiplied.

Pertaining to this blog:
Yesterday I planted flowers, I dug up the compost.
I cleared up some weeds.
Zero waste yes
Zero spending (depends because I did buy some things for the sale which I hope to get reimbursed for that...)
Raw Food-not today or yesterday ( and I miss it!)
making money? we are getting there!

peas be with you!
(yes try raw peas!!!)

day 23 of the eco-friendly challenge

-de-cluttered office room
-dug up the compost
-will plant flowers today!
-raw food? AM only so far...
-zero spending:depends, day is not done and got to do some payments.
-zero waste in the home: I have re-used and recycled most items this week. Only trash was an "accident" my older son broke a glass and I had to throw away. Also we had some meat leftovers that I can't put into compost and lastly, the never ending diapers! Other that that, no other trash this week.

Definitely getting challenging now because so much going on for fundraiser.
We got confirmation from Former "napoleon" from Tuppac/outlaw band to come to fundraiser to give a small motivational talk to Rachel and Ronan's family. We are very happy they are visiting from Saudi but don't have time to accommodate him as a regular speaker because our schedule is already set.
Please buy tickets before they run out!!!!

Fundraiser June 18th!

Please attend this eco-friendly fundraiser for Ronan Godfrey. We will be serving "raw food" and I hope everyone enjoys it and loves this kinda new experience (instead of briyani), people will feel motivated, energized and will go home saying "lets eat" LOL! Just kidding, it'll be something new and refreshing that's for sure and we will serve the junk food such as chips and salsa and cookies so don't worry!

much love to the world! Sorry no actual blogs since I'm soooo busy with this fundraiser this week specially and next as well, I'll do what I can.
peace

"I'll be there"....

I can't post the link at all in Blogger for some reason.
So the song I wanted to post is called "I'll be there" by Michael Jackson.
Thanks to Blogger.com you guys can look it up on youtube.

Day 19-Michael Jackson!

I'm behind on posts but today I'm taking sort of a day off, to spend with family, to really give them more time.
I'm really gonna make some more changes to really have that quality time.
Family comes first, and if that means reducing some activities, that's what it means! No other way around it!

1. I planted the compost this morning
2. had raw foods for breakfast (had some meat) but now I"ll try to keep it as much raw as possible.
3. De cluttered yesterday different parts of my house! it felt wonderful, including my multi-purpose kitchen drawer!!!!
4. No spending (no spending at all except necessities or things for the house.)


I been listening to Michael Jackson a lot lately, his older songs in particular. The lyrics are so amazing.
He really loved people, he loved to share that love. If you pay attention, there's really love that he was after and wanted to share that with the world.

So this link goes out to our dear brother Mikael Jackson. may he rest in peace and may all his good deeds and love illuminate his grave, now until the day of judgement.

Raw Chocolate tasting!

Elena, Shahnila and baby Sakeena and I forgot this other girl's name (in the black shirt).
This picture was taken today during our "healthy eating workshop" everyone is trying 2 delicious pieces of Raw chocolate!
Great taste and such a superfood for the body!
I love raw foods!!!!!!

p.s. I brought Almond milk for everyone (I cheated and bought "silk/vanilla" instead of making my own, that means it's not raw but it's definitely something delicious :)

Bree brought sprouts for us to try! they tasted like chips!!! but of course this is super healthy and full of protein and nutrients!

p.s. busy day today, more blogging tomorrow!

Day 18-NEW CHANCE

day 15 closing time

So I am extremely tired but I promised I would input what I accomplished today.
I was Raw foods half of the day. My parents came to visit so we made barbecue.

I de-cluttered parts of all the house, I made every room look beautiful (except bedroom..I need to work on it!!!)

I dug up the compost (big one by the way) the soil now is so soft and moist in that area, it is beautiful, we got something growing, I'm not sure what plant it is....

Zero waste yes, so far so great! Our only trash is basically diapers now. I'm still working on my husband letting me do cloth but he is just not supportive at this time and I understand.

I didn't plant anything today BUT I spoke to the boys from boy scouts of America and they really want to start up the group again. So, I thought maybe just maybe we can do it!!!
I want to find a leader for them and see what we can do. Activities have to be fun and hands on like gardening. I can teach them basics and they will have so much fun. It's a matter of organizing them in the right way.

I'm so excited about tomorrow, I may get some young visitors and I'm really looking forward to seeing those little girls. They are so loving and super fun! Let's see how the day goes.

peace!

Day 15?

WOW how time goes so fast!
I'm sorry I wasn't able to blog yesterday.

We had exciting things happening at our local masjid!
Channel 7 Eye witness news came to film us in preparation for Ronan Godfrey's Fundraiser banquet June 18th.
I had a confirmation call from Miriam Hernandez at 6:30am and had until 10am to get people to the masjid as fast as possible.
I think it was very nice and they did an excellent job at reporting this meeting.
I'm thankful to channel 7 and Miriam Hernandez for coming out to support this interfaith event.

I was so busy that I didn't have breakfast, I had water and later one of the members brought some snacks and I ate whatever was there alhamdulilah.

Anyhow, so now I really have a lot to work on.
Here are some of the things I did yesterday and some which I plan on doing today:

1. I plan on digging up the compost and planting "fig seeds".
2. I have to get some essentials from the store but will return some items also
3. I hope to declutter the bedroom!
4. I hope to eat as much Raw as possible today (so far so good)
5. Remember the "making money" challenge? well, my efforts are slowly paying off (can't say much yet!)


I will be super busy today making phone calls, sending emails but I will try to blog again later on the day to see if I accomplished the tasks I had set for today.

Yesterday I don't think I was able to accomplish any of my challenges at all, my day was busy since I got up LOL

have a great day
