St Patrick’s day came and went in my world without much recognition until my daughter Tammy came back to South Africa to join Healthmakers, after a 10 year stint in Ireland. So this year we will see how St Patrick’s day can be celebrated in a small and healthful way on this great big island of Africa.
The original reason for celebrating Paddy’s day is to commemorate the feast day of St Patrick who was a Christian missionary and who was later made the patron saint of Ireland. Today however it has become a colourful and lively joyous celebration marked by musical performers, floats in all the countries where the Irish have made their mark including, the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Uruguay, New Zealand, and South Africa.

If you would like  your friends to be Green with envy this St Patricks day then get going on growing some micro-greens.  With the versatile Easygreen you can grow anything from smallest alfalfa sprouts to large sprouts and micro-greens. You won’t need the luck of the Irish when you have an EasyGreen micro-farm. I placed some mung beans and clover seed into the Easygreen sprouter just 18 hours ago and already they are celebrating St Patrick’s day!

The clover is used as the Celtic tradition of honoring “3′s” has been around in Ireland for millennia.

Here are some things in life that come in three’s

3 leaf clovers

faith, hope and charity

past present and future

land sea and sky

the religious trinity and then there are So many things that are represented by 3′s like

3 cheers

3 blind mice

3 is a crowd

3 R’s

3 muskateers

There are just so many of these 3′s  See how many more you can think of.

Getting back to the Easygreen Micro-farm, remember that at the end of the rainbow of your Easygreen mist sprayer you will find your pot of green gold.  Your family will be going through the sprouts and greens so fast that you might think that the tokoloshe are helping you to eat them but today, to be sure to be sure you can blame the leprechaun. On St Patrick’s day, if you are sprouting clover be sure to look fo a four-leafed clover and perhaps this year to celebrate Paddy’s Day swop your Guinness for a Green Smoothie.

Happy St Patricks Day!

You don’t experience anxiety unless you’ve  attached to a thought that isn’t true for you . It’s that simple.

You don’t ever feel anxiety until you believe that a thought is true – and it’s not.

Lifestyle is what we do consistently day after week after month after year. It is what we teach our children, it is what our parents taught us and what we ultimately choose. We like these words healthy mind body and soul but in truth how many of us can boast top dollars in all these departments? Can you? Let us know your thoughts on this!

Yes, it’s the lifestyle that scores the points in the body, mind and soul department. Too much of this and too little of that – it’s really all about balance. Take a look at your lifestyle  and ask yourself out of 100% how much is spend on mind, how much on the body and how much on soul.

Firstly what is mind, I think mind is all the stuff we think,  all the escapism in movies and books, work, all the emotional interference – that’s what I think. (Your comments  will be appreciated) .  When it comes to body – well now that is an interesting one. The pendulum here swings from great nutritious diets to downright garbage diets, exercise to manic sporting activity, body care to boob jobs and then we have the soul. Now that is an interesting one. We osculate from those who  kinda believe but like other stuff don’t really think it matters to fanatical religious activity and or those on a genuine spiritual quests.

At the end of the day, like I said balance is the key and this is what this blog is about. Exploring the balance in these 3 areas to show our parents that we are whole, to set a great example to our children and the enjoy the rewards that balance brings.  We would love you to join us on this adventure and so invite you to subscribe to this blog to be notified of updates.

Till next time.
