Make an authentic and tantalizingly delicious papaya Costa Rican “batido,” a fruit smoothie with protein
Batido de fruta fresca al modo costaricense: First you have to find a REALLY GOOD protein powder to use. I prefer Whey over Soy, but this is my preference. Just experiment and most importantly, make sure it doesn’t contain too much, or no sugar at all. I prefer vanilla flavor, but chocolate will do and…

Keeping things fresh and always new. The mind always open. The body always flexible and healthy. The soul satisfied, or working towards that. If we find ourselves in a stagnation of some sort — it’s time to make some motion, some movement, a note of improvement. This kind of “self inquiry” keeps us supple, content…
Read MoreThinking Outside the Box

Naturally I pondered them, because whenever I “hear” a message I take it to heart, and contemplate what it could possibly mean. It wasn’t obvious, at first. But then my thoughts turned…
Read MoreSometimes you just have to make a STAND
After the events last week in Tucson, Arizona, I simply have to say something. Usually I try not to bring politics into what i share here, on Lordflea Sings. Usually, I put the focus on us leading spiritual lives, not political ones. But enough is enough! I simply must say something, because when the sentiments…
Read Morethe wonder of wonderment
Friends, Have you ever asked yourself why, and how, and when it might come in handy to wonder? To just tell yourself, “I don’t know.”? In other words … to allow yourself to be flexible enough to not have all the answers. This is an interesting point-of-view, one that I’ve been thinking a lot about…
