7:30 a.m. Brian shows me how to make my own wheatgrass juice, which has all the fragrant smells of freshly mowed grass! I learn how special wheatgrass is. It contains virtually all the trace minerals, vitamins, living enzymes, proteins, and chlorophyll the human body needs! Some people frown while drinking it, but I swirl it around in my mouth and swallow it focusing on how it nurtures my insides.

8:30 a.m., time for breakfast. It is a wonderful papaya smoothie — it was made with island grown papaya. I'm eating it slowly, savoring every mouthful. Tomorrow we'll have a delicious banana-buckwheat cereal and discuss eating techniques after breakfast.

After a full morning of classes about Living Foods, enzymes, and our digestive system, its 12:30 PM, lunchtime! The kitchen staff has prepared a tasty meal: almond paté and dehydrated crackers served with a mouth-watering salad featuring sunflower and buckwheat greens. Energy Soup (the healthiest most digestible food on the planet), a staple healing food at the Center, is served at every meal. The meal is food for my soul! As the enzymes enrich my body, the taste satisfies my cravings for other foods. After lunch, I rest while my new friends take a leisurely walk and a swim on the sun-drenched Caribbean beaches.

At 4:00 PM, classes resume. The topic is colon care and how to give yourself an enema. Being new to self-care of the colon, the teacher eases my fears as she reviews the enormous contributions enemas can make to help my body to detoxify.

5:30 PM, I join my classmates for a light dinner of Energy Soup topped with a small amount of tasty dressing. It's been a great day and I feel great! Now I'm off for my sunset walk along the beach.

Does it get any better than this? Yes, 10 more days in paradise and I'll graduate with my Living Foods Lifestyle® certificate in hand. Most importantly, I am gaining a feeling that I am in control of my own health and destiny through my actions. Tonight is a free night, but my schedule tells me I can look forward to evening sessions on relaxation and self-esteem later in the week. It looks like I made a terrific (and healthy!) vacation choice.
