            Ministry update   
            Dear
            Friends, 
            It is
            the merry month of May as Maine basks in 
            unseasonably warm, sunny weather. The landscape
            is coming alive in shades of luscious greens with
            displays
            of flowering narcissus, daffodils, tulips, crocus,
            hiacynth,
            forsythia, and more! It is a delight to see the world
            awaken again as we enjoy a foretaste of the summer
            season!
            
            As you might imagine, those of us at The Living Way
            are
            happily drinking in the fresh air and sunshine,
            celebrating
            the season by eating our daily lunch outdoors. We are
            thankful for the blessing of an early spring, but
            more
            importantly, we are grateful for the quality of life
            that we
            experience. To help bring the live food diet
            to life for
            those around us, our up-coming HANDS-ON HEALTH
            meeting will feature the video, 'A Day on the
            Hallelujah
            Diet' plus a short talk and demonstration afterwards.
            This presentation will serve as a 'how-to' for those
            who
            are launching out into the live food lifestyle. Plan
            to join
            us for an educational, eventful evening. Feel free to
            bring
            family and friends! More information about the
            meeting
            is here.
            
            If you want to catch The LIVING WAY in more action,
            come and see us in full swing at the Sixth Annual
            Vegetarian Food Festival next month. This
            annual event
            is a known crowd-pleaser that boasts many healthy
            exhibits,
            demonstrations, and free give-aways. We will have an
            exhibit
            table plus conduct a juicing demonstration, starring
            the new
            Hurom juicer. This should be an
            exciting venue for us!
            We are told that attendance last year exceeded 750.
            The four hour Food Festival promises to be a
            high-spirited
            education into healthier living. We hope to see you
            there!

            Regarding other healthy info, please take time to
            read
            the news articles shared in the 'LIVING resources'
            section
            of this newsletter. For the sake of health and
            survival, it is important to keep informed on a
            number of issues, especially
            the annual CODEX meeting that is now in progress in
            Canada. If you are not aware, CODEX is a major threat
            to
            personal health freedom in the USA. It is aimed to
            outlaw
            the pursuit of a natural, wholesome lifestyle and
            replace it
            with a sickness- oriented way of life that is ruled
            by toxic
            politicians, toxic governments, toxic agribusinesses,
            and, last
            but not least, toxic pharmaceutical companies.
            Suffice to say,
            this sickness industry does not have your best
            interests at
            heart, much less your optimum health, in mind. We
            thus
            encourage you to educate yourself on this
            all-important health
            freedom issue and consider becoming proactive. If the
            recent
            passage of the Health Care Reform Bill wasn't good
            enough,
            CODEX promises to do much more. It will be good-bye
            to
            organic food, healthy supplements, home gardening,
            herbal
            remedies, etc. Wake up and take action. The fight of
            your life
            is in progress. For more information, visit

            Those
            who enjoyed 'dining raw' will be sad to learn that
            GRO, Maine's first and only raw restaurant,
            closed,
            having succumbed to lack of patronage. It is
            painfully
            obvious that the understanding of living foods is yet
            largely
            undiscovered, unpopular and/or ignored in this
            present society.
            Nevertheless, GRO lives on as a worker cooperative.
            Owner and originator of GRO foods, Igor Rauk,
            reports, 
            'We have joined with Living Earth Farm and other
            compassionate food sovereignty advocates. We are a
            dynamic group wanting to share in our community and
            are
            looking for like minded others.  GRO is the only
            100% organic
            vegetarian restaurant in the state. We have a nursery
            on Rte
            302, GRO THE GARDEN in Windham, and a
            farm in Skowhegan.' For more information about the
            GRO cooperative, contact Igor at UNIR1@GROFOODS.COM.
            Speaking
            of gardening, with much conscientious effort on my
            part, most of our garden is ready to plant. The
            warmer weather
            has brought our herbs, perennials, and fruit trees to
            life earlier
            this year. Keeping up with the harvest is already a
            challenge.
            If you would like some herbs to plant or harvest, let
            us know.
            We are happy to share. I have recently made some new
            postings on our website. See photos from our 2010
            Live Food
            Dinner here. I have also
            updated our 2010 garden log which
            includes pictures of our blossoming fruit trees. 
            Take a look here!
            
            In
            closing, we welcome all of our new subscribers and
            express
            our thanks to those who email, stop by, and share
            their needs
            and/or progress in learning to live healthy. As we
            care for one
            another, we will all enjoy a quality of life that
            will not only be
            personally rewarding but give hope to those around
            us. While
            the world continues to suffer from a multitude of
            wrongs, it is
            encouraging to know that there is a right way to care
            for our
            bodies. Therefore, commit yourself to healthy
            pursuits. Plant
            a garden, frequent farmers' markets, and treat
            yourself to the
            wonder of living foods. Discover how remarkable life
            can be.
            Truly, you don't have to be sick!

            Article:"EXERCISING for Life!"
            Exercising is a
            natural expression of life. It is an
            opportunity for the body to engage its many members
            in a show of motion that at times can only be
            described
            as beautiful. Consider the first steps taken
            by a child
            or those of a recovering accident victim. Regard with
            awe the grace and stamina of an athlete or dancer.
            Reflect upon a surgeon who holds life and death in
            the
            agility of his hands.Without a doubt, the body was
            designed to perform a myriad of actions that are
            truly remarkable!

            Window Farms
            If you lack a backyard or are short of

            gardening to yet greater heights (literally!),

            the farming solution of the future. It's fun! It's

            Spring
            Smoothie
            
            With spring in full swing, taste the season with a
            delicious, nutritious green smoothie! As Farmers'
            Markets open and bags of fresh greens appear,
            take advantage of the goodness. Enjoy the sweetness
            of fruit in combination with generous portions of
            life-giving, chlorophyll-rich GREENS! Here is a
            smoothie that
            celebrates the season:
            1 apple
            1 orange
            1 celery stalk
            handful parsley (and/or mint!)
            handful dandelion greens
            handful baby greens (lettuce or spinach, etc.)
            slice of fresh ginger to taste
            1-2 Tbsp. hemp seed or oil
            1-2 cups approx. of purified water
            Cut up fruit, celery,
            and greens. Place water in blender
            and gradually blend ingredients until creamy smooth.
            Pour in a tall glass and sip slowly to savor the
            season!
            
            NOTE: When harvesting dandelion greens, choose
            plants that grow in safe, non-polluted areas, i.e.
            away
            from roadways and/or chemical run-offs.
