Day 10 – It’s Only the Green Smoothie Beginning!

Scuze my goofy grin, but I just had to find some silly kind of way to express what my morning has been like!  While sipping away on my Day 10 Green Smoothie of papaya, grapes, and baby bok choy, I’ve been gleefully checking my inbox and giving my cheek muscles an ironman workout from enjoying all the fantastic e-mails, pictures, and stories you’ve been sending on the last day of our LIVE green smoothie challenge together!  It’s been soooo much fun, and I wish you could just see the way your feedback makes me light up!   And if your green smoothie experiences excite me, I know that they would inspire a whole world of people.  I’m definitely going to add more photo galleries to this green smoothie queendom!

For example, take this beautiful picture from Carolyn this morning!  Here’s what she wrote to me:

Hello Your Highness!

Today was the 9th day of the 10-day challenge and also my birthday!  I was going all out on Green Smoothies all day until my good friend dropped by with this CAKE!  Not exactly raw and healthy, but a wonderful surprise!  She did not know YOU are already the queen, so no worries (I’m not trying to dethrone you!) ha!  I wake up every morning anxious to get your emails!  And my husband has started requesting GREEN SMOOTHIES for his meals!  We are having so much fun with this!  THANK YOU!!

Love, Carolyn*

I was so abso-lettuce-ly THRILLED by this that I completely forgot to wish Carolyn a happy birthday when I replied! So HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAROLYN!!   As I told her, yes we love, love, love green smoothies and raw food, but I really believe that being supported in that way, beautiful cooked cake or whatever, is more amazing for one’s well-being than a whole jug of chlorophyll.  We all need friends like that, and thankfully, a challenge like this really does pull such people together!  We’re all here to add delight and energy and well-ness to our worlds. I see a whole lotta love and support in this image, and THAT’s what I want to help contribute too!

And this doesn’t have to be the end of your challenge.  You can choose each and every morning to wake up and take it one day at a time…  You can remember to look at greens a whole new way each time in you’re in the grocery store and work towards filling your cart with rainbows of  fruits and greens that outnumber the cans and boxes.  Wouldn’t you rather come home with rainbows to fill your fridge?

You can live with gusto!  You can be silly!  You can be smiley!  You can be Diane! I’m forever, forever, forever, going to love this photo!  We think it’s the BEST green smoothie mustache we’ve ever been sent!  It’s SO much FUN, it’s passionate, and it’s GREEN! And do you know what Diane said when she sent it? “I hope this photo makes someone else laugh as hard as I was!” It’s sooo easy to spread good, positive energy with others.   You can make them laugh, you can make them smile, and by wonderful-watercress, you can make them a green smoothie!

My heart is green and glowing this morning, and I can’t wait for our next program!  We’re putting together a 21-Day green smoothie detox program for all those who are green, keen, and ready for their next step!  I’ll let you know when it’s ready to roll!

And of course, there’s more good news to come!  Tonight, our challengers will be submitting their entries for our “Lucky Links” contest and SOMEBODY is going to receive a gorgeous Blendtec blender!  Then there’ll be some smiles that may rival my own today!  The deadline is tonight at midnight, E.S.T. Stacey, my GSQ gal, is moving this weekend, but next week we’ll be going through the contest entrants and verifying a winner!  We’ll contact our winner and announce the results here on the blog in April.

Of course, you can end this day in wild style with the teleseminar with Sergei Boutenko on Wild Greens!  You’ll find it on your Day 10 Challenge page to enjoy!  There’s always something new to learn and something new to try around here!

I thank you for all your enthusiasm and participation!  It’s been a dream challenge and a whole lotta fun!  And it could only be that way because of YOU.  So give yourself a hug from me and have an extra glass of green smoothie to light up your heart and energy to a royal glow!  And for those of you who may have missed the LIVE run of this program, fear not!  All the information, the Emerald Lounge recipes and contacts, e-mails, and teleseminars will continue to be available in the 10-Day Green Smoothie Challenge.  Starting on Monday, March 29th, 2010, you’ll be able to take this program on your own whenever it works for your schedule and treat yourself to a 10-day blast of energy and fun!
