Your Charmed Life

In "Raw Pie Recipe," blogger Victoria Moran shares the recipe for Blueberry Pie (copyright 2005, Jennifer Cornbleet) from Cornbleet's book Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People (Book Publishing Co.). This is a vegan pie, all raw, with no refined sweeteners.

This evening I got on the best subway car ever, heading for the workshop I was to give at the Integral Yoga Institute downtown. I saw the guy with the guitar, but this fellow was no mere troubador. Instead of just playing and singing, he was conducting a rousing music trivia contest, promising $2 to…

Before my mother died, she said, “We used to think you were crazy, doing that yoga and eating all those vegetables. But now people’s doctors tell them to do that.” I thought that was the ultimate vindication for my lifestyle. But now there’s more — way more. This is a direct quote from the totally-up-on-everything-veg…

This evening I was blessed with a house blessing—well, condo blessing: a space clearing ritual performed by Donna Henes, “Mama Donna, the Urban Shaman.” We’ve lived here nine months, the longest I’ve gone without a house blessing in the past twenty years.

I tweeted yesterday (www.twitter.com/charmedlifelady) that I was feeling so good and found myself adding: “Being raw is better than being twenty.” It’s true: I’m not sure I ever felt as energized, steady, and at peace as…

I had the best night. William and I got our Dick Gregory tickets a month ago, as soon as I made a wrong turn on Broadway and saw in the window of Caroline’s on Broadway that he’d be performing. He was funny and brilliant and poignant: almost every joke had a message inside, i.e., “Strange,…

I already knew I missed writing and receiving real-letters-on-paper, but I was just reminded how much I miss them. I was looking through old photo albums for pictures of commedian/activist Dick Gregory. (He’ll be in NYC tonight and tomorrow night at Caroline’s on Broadway, a comedy club. I knew him back in the 70s and…

I’ve been doing some very popular presentations of late under the rubric of “How to Live a More Spiritual Life.” To that end, I’ve come up with “10 Power Principles of the Spiritual Life.” Take these out for a spin: 1. To gain happiness: Feel grateful and express gratitude. 2. To know peace: Get silence…
