I am new to blogs and leaving comments. When you ask for a website I put the Drinkpurple website in the box because I don’t have a website.

Anyway I wanted to comment on Julia’s post. I drink Purple also and I love smoothies too. I just wanted to point out that Purple is not sugar free. It has no added sugar but the fruits that it is made from have sugar. The antioxidants that this drink has are amazing too. They call it the most powerful antioxidant drink on the planet. It must really be catching on because I saw Paris Hilton with Purple on Entertainment tonight.

This stuff really taste good and is really good for you.

Take care
Marion

I am addicted to smoothies, whenever I am streesed I have atleast 3-4 of them and put on weight because having diabetes I just forget on the sugar content and 1 cause of disbetes is stress(God help me). Just to let all of you know may be it helps you too….I have substituted Purple in all of my smoothies and now i do not put on weight as there is no suger in purple and it tastes great. You can get it at GNC and drug stores. I put purple in smoothies and alcohlic drinks if I want to have one.
In case you people want to check out the site it is…www.drinkpurple.com
Trust me I think purple is for diabetic patients like us so that we can enjoy without worrying!!!!

I have to say my favorite is a Gandhi quote: Be the Change You Wish to See in the World.

There is a ritual I created that acknowledges that time is all we have in the world, so be sure that the time you spend is on things that are important to you. I will log how I use my time at least one day per quarter to analyze how I am spending my time. Sometimes I find it is time to re-evaluate how I spend my time. It works with the above statement while it helps emphasize that if I deem something to be truly important I will spend time addressing and dealing with it. This leads me to the mantra associated with all of this:

It isn’t what we say that is important, but rather what we do.

I have two, depending on the situation.

“breathe in, breathe out, move on” is my standard one. to me it just simply says that I can get past whatever it is that’s irking me or bothering me (slow line at the grocery, or despair over diabetes in my child)

and my second which was taken from a part of a prayer that I had heard once and this is the only line I remember, “I am exactly where You want me to be” in times of great crisis it has helped me to remember that no matter what, I am not alone and abandoned and that there is a plan for all of this.

We need buttons that say “Be Bold” on them!!! Love it! Reminds me of my grandmother writing SMILE on all the mirrors in the house.

Your blogpost is spellbinding!! Please do check out Swami Ramdev or Baba Ramdev and his form of Pranayama and Yoga – it is mindboggling. He will be in USA, I think, in June 2008. This swami is from India.

Great blogging as usual from Amy.

Dear Amy:
Your open-minded, lively, and conversational blog is always spellbinding like a mantra! Please find out about Swami Ramdev or Baba Ramdev – his Pranayama and Yoga – this Swami is mind boggling. Swami Ramdev is from India, and will visit USA – I think in June 2008. Please do not miss finding more about him, and if possible attend his Yoga science camps (usually free of cost) in USA. Bye!

I usually have a mantra of, “Keep it together” when I’m really low and need to stay focused on getting something into my system.

I basically will myself not to black out and get the task at hand done. I don’t recommend this to anyone

Great post!

My mantra comes from Dune:
Fear is the mind killer.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
