Master Cleansing Life

[Shirley] Last night finished my first Master Cleanse of 10 days, the lemon detoxification program where you drink only a lemonade mixture: organic grade B maple syrup, fresh-squeezed lemon or lime juice, and cayenne pepper added to spring, distilled, or purified water to remove toxins from pollution, cigarette smoke, alcohol, caffeine, processed foods and whatever else that drains vitality from our bodies*. The initial goal was to continue for 20 days where spiritual gains beyond just health was also promised, however, the urge to use my jaws was a far greater cry, so I caved. Still for my first time this was an excellent experience, giving me this fresh start feeling. I have lost 7lbs (despite small lapses here and there) and gained increased energy levels I haven't felt in ages. Therefore, I've decided to put this concept (and new found energy) to other areas of my life... First on the list, detox my house, heavens knows it could do with it. This will definitely take longer than 10 days, but if I breakup each room/area into separate parts giving each area its own 10 days, this could be doable and if I enlist the help of my husband and daughter this is definitely doable -- Ha! ha! Ha-ha! Ha-ha, ah, ha, ha ha! ... I'll keep you posted.
