Was so glad to finally have the chance to visit a raw food restaurant in St. Pete called Leafy Greens Cafe yesterday.
Seems that most raw food restaurant owners have a great story of healing themselves on raw. And that’s what inspires them to dedicate their lives to sharing the food that saved them. Leafy Greens owner Denise healed herself of Systemic Lupus. She said she was always tired and slept most of the time. Now, she’s energetically running a busy restaurant.
The place is small and charming, with an open kitchen, so you can see just how the food is prepared.
Good thing I hadn’t fully launched myself into the juice feast, or I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the food there. Had an awesome Thai coconut soup, half an onion bread sandwich and blueberry banana ice cream. Took some chocolate-coconut macaroons home. Yum!
Yes. I stuffed myself. It had been a long time since I’d enjoyed gourmet raw food prepared by someone else. Good thing the juice feast is coming up…
Had some great conversations with the customers at the cafe. And, funny thing. An old friend walked into the restaurant for the first time whom I hadn’t seen (at least I thought) in years. Turns out she was the featured soloist at my church service on Sunday, but I didn’t recognize her there because she had cut her long hair short and I was sitting far away in the balcony. Her voice blew me away on Sunday and I had wondered who she was. It was good to get that cleared up and to reconnect with her. Listen to the gorgeous song on her site. I think her voice will blow you away, too! Jennifer is accompanied on the piano by my very talented friend, Rob Satori.
And I met a young man at the cafe who was visiting from Madison, Wisconsin who’s an English/Spanish translator. He just may be the one to translate my film to Spanish!
Magic always seems to happen at raw food restaurants. Look! I caught a rainbow in my palm : )
Can’t believe it’s already Christmas Eve. It’s heartwarming to think of all the families who are together now.
Enjoy the spirit of the season!
To your radiant health!
