We applaud the efforts of Oprah Winfrey who recently completed a 21 day vegan cleanse. Influenced by best selling author and spiritual counselor Kathy Freston, who suggests trying a 21-day cleanse as a way to jump-start an inner makeover, Oprah decided to give it a try! The plan eliminates caffeine, sugar, alcohol, gluten and animal products from your diet for up to 21 days. It was fascinating to read along as Oprah blogged for three weeks about the highs and lows of her experience. She also posted the vegan meal plan provided by Chef Tal Ronnen. Please contact Oprah on her website and encourage her to keep up with the vegan part of her cleanse. You may also wish to recommend that she reads the copy of Vegan Fusion World Cuisine that we sent to her to inspire her on her path. "Eating more consciously now feels like a way of being. I actually think about how my food got to my plate. That was the whole point, right?"
Dr. Michael Beckwith Dr. Michael Beckwith is one of the featured guests in the internationally acclaimed movie, The Secret. He delivers some of the most inspirational messages in a film that is brimming with inspiration. We were honored to meet Dr. Beckwith and his wife Rickie at our restaurant on their last trip to Hawaii. In 1986, he founded the Agape International Spiritual Center, a trans-denominational community whose doors are open to all seekers in search of personal transformation and selfless service to humankind. Dr. Beckwith’s achievement as a humanitarian and emissary of peace have been widely acclaimed. In 2003, his activities were enumerated when he was written into the Congressional Record of the 107th congress. He is the recipient of numerous humanitarian awards, some of which include: The 2004 Africa Peace Award, Thomas Kilgore Prophetic Witness Award and the Humanitarian Award of the National Conference for Compassion and Justice. Thousands gather weekly to receive inspiration from Dr. Beckwith at the Agape Center in Culver City, California. Together, Drs. Michael Beckwith and Rickie Byars Beckwith have written lyrics and music performed in concert venues worldwide. They share their lives with their four adult children and six grandchildren. For more information on Dr. Beckwith's works and the Agape Center, please visit their site.
