Detox Day Two
Day two has been interesting. Still mostly just water, with a bit more lemon to aid with the liver cleaning. Yeah, who knew?
Also interesting from today, was the hydro therapy. Yeah, sounds fancy? But on the whole it involved getting in the shower and repeating the following process:
3 minutes hot shower
1 minute as cold as it can get shower
3 minutes hot shower
1 minutes as cold as it can get shower.
If you have never tried this before, go for it. After the shower you feel like you've been to a spa, or to hot baths, and it aids with circulation and the release of toxins. But if you try it, make sure to drink plenty of water to flush the toxins.
Tomorrow, more hydro therapy and finally some food. We went shopping today. The good news is that pappadums count.
Stay tuned for more from the 7 day detox.
peace..

Visitors, friends, and photos oh my!
Over the next few days our friends Nicholas and Leslie are visiting us from the USA.
We met Nicholas and Leslie...well actually, I guess we met them through a few different internet communities we were a part of. Over time, we began ichatting and calling regularly. Now, after having spent New Year's Eve with them in Birmingham Alabama, they are visiting us here in Geneva.
It's great to have them here. The next few days they'll be getting quite an overview of Geneva and getting to spend some good time with us as we go about every day life. Tomorrow we'll spend lots of time with the Vrielings, and the Shema community.
Here are a couple of photos I took today while we were about:
Nicholas, Leslie, and Laura
Stay tuned for more stories, lots of laughter, and more photos of this adventure!

Here is quick photo slideshow of a party we had this weekend. The photos are not representative of all who were there, or all who we wanted to be there. Nevertheless, here are some photos.
You can see a few more on Darry's blog.

Shema, BBQ, and a new apartment
Well, today was a great day. Not only did we get to experience the fullness of Shema together this evening with the community who gathered, but i had the opportunity to have my first bbq in my own back yard in several years. Actually, my first back yard since marriage. Actually, my first back yard in Europe. Actually, my first back yard...well in a while!
Here are a few photos from today:

Stress Management
My wife and I have ventured off onto a new diet. Not that we are really the dieting kind of people, its just that she is on a stress management course and is trying to reduce the stress levels in our lives. So what does it look like? How about this: meat once per day, stay away from red meats, as many colors in vegetables as you can find (fresh not processed), no processed food, stay away from wheat products, reduce intake of alcohol, eat fruits, drink lots of water (no less than 2 liters per day), and absolutely no, no simple sugars. If you are a sweet fan like my wife is, this may be the real tester!
Try it out for a few days and see what happens. We felt better, more lively, with more energy and got better sleep within days. Quite an amazing story of how your body responds to certain things i think! Let me know how it goes for you!
