Danuns and dacleanse

The weekend at danuns was absolutely incredible. These two women represent the gifts of compassion, strength, and goodwill that I would like to attain. Their educated dialogue combines with their wisdom following years of struggles and conflict. They believe in empowerment and lean towards the redefinition of gender roles. These two ladies completely wiped away all assumptions I had of "nuns."

The house was absolutely beautiful, furnished and remodeled with gifts from the community and people danuns have touched. The donated pool is magnificent and will be a fitting addition to their ministry. Their home and surrounding area represents the magnitude to which these women have affected the lives of others, for good.

In regards to the cleanse....

I'd been feeling extremely unenergetic the past week. Not in a caffeine way (given) but in a different way. On Friday we went to Mexican food where I had some chicken enchiladas con mole. It was delicious. My mood brightened up and the next morning my muscles had ENERGY! Clearly, going off of meat is not as simple as I thought it would be. I've decided to incorporate light meat meals into my diet. Instead of eating a copious amount of meat on the cleanse, I will eat when necessary. I did notice that every time I ate food this weekend that wasn't cleanse approved (chocolate, lemon bars, meat, cheese, sugar...) I actually TASTED the food rather than inhale. However, I did inhale the nachos. That was a bit of a doozy and I felt it after, for sure.

Altogether, I have gained an awareness on the cleanse. I'm still on it and am back to normal with my tofu and veggies. Sigh.

I'm now back to the daily grind and preparing to move. Supppppper. India in a month! Yay!!!
