Tonight around 11:21 pm marks the spring equinox for those of us in the northern hemisphere. Only twice a year, once in March and once in September, does the sun shine directly on the equator, making the length of day and night nearly equal in all parts of the world.
From an energetic standpoint, many of us have been in the darkness of winter for several months now. Buried beneath layers of winter layers, heavy coats, scarves and hats, we’ve literally been covered up. When we’re cold we tend to hunch our backs a bit and put our heads down, to intuitively protect our vital organs from the biting winds and chilly temperatures. Consequently, our spine and our energy becomes withdrawn. With early darkfall, we’ve tended to stay inside in our private spaces and homes, in a quasi-hibernation mode! And maybe, just maybe, we’ve lost some of our true consciousness as it related to our diet- eating bigger portions of “comforting”, heavier foods.
Today I felt something very special in the air when I woke up. It actually started yesterday and last night. Maybe you felt it too? The moon was huge last night, and today with March Equinox the universal shift of seasons is officially here. Unlike man-chosen holidays which can fall on any which day that our forefathers happened to pick or assign to it, the universal shifts of the earth simply can not be ignored. It is a huge energetic call to WAKE UP, and a call to see what is going on with our energy, and if it is stagnant, get it flowing again. And thirdly and very importantly, it is a call for us regain our focus and make a conscious choice on where we want to focus our energy and what we really want to achieve.
I had a huge wakeup in a physical form at the end of last week. My publisher, Harlequin, sent me several large boxes of my book, The Beauty Detox Solution, that I had to sign for promotional purposes. It was the first time I’d seen a bunch of copies of the book!!! They were packed altogether, like cereal boxes get to the grocery store. It is the same way that bookstores all around the country are receiving them, right as I write this and you read this. It was my holy crap moment: The launch is really happening!!!! You know when you know something is going to happen, but until it gets really close you can’t really prepare for it? Maybe it was that way for some of my friends out there that had a baby, where the birth and labor was not like you imagined, or the first time you tried something really scary, like snowboarding down a black diamond.
My book is really personal. It has a lot of personal stories and my heart is really in it, all over the pages! 🙂 So I can’t describe the feeling of seeing hundreds of them at the same time printed, and knowing that ready or not, it’s getting out there!! I’ve worked with and around films for a while now, so I know how personal a film is for the filmmakers involved. But there is something that seems even more personal to me about a book… it’s my own words and ideas, all just put out there in a manual that one can read as many times as they want.
So yes, you can say I’m awake now! There’s no hiding and no hanging out or drifting through. The next few months for me will be especially “awakening” we should say, as there’s so much coming down the can with the launch! The sleepy winter is over!!!
So I encourage you to WAKE UP! Spring is upon us all. If there is something you feel you have a limitation with, if you attach it to the infinite there will be no more limitation. Remember we all have so much more power than we know, all within us. So figure out how to get energy from the world around you and harness it the best you can.Â
In love and health,
Kimberly

Thanks Ann!!! 🙂
Hi Kimberly!
I am so excited for you and I am really looking forward to receiving my “pre-ordered” book. I was just looking at the moon before coming into the library to look at your blog. It is spectacular!! Thanks for sharing your wisdom, knowledge, humor and love. It is much appreciated and has helped me (as I’m sure many). I wish you the best and look forward to reading your blog every day (still catching up on the archive articles). I love getting up every morning to a hot cup of lemon water, followed by a probiotic and then the glorious glowing green smoothie. I have been enjoying about 24 oz. of it sitting on my back porch every morning while soaking up my Vit.D and enjoying the birds sing, playing with my dogs and talking with my husband (as he enjoys his large green smoothie too). Great way to start the day. Best always and keep up the great work that you are so passionate about. I am passionate about the info. and share it too.
Wow, another Kimberly! Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so happy to hear about your perfect morning routine that I advocate so strongly 🙂 and that you get your fresh sunshine for Vitamin D!
Come visit me again soon!!
Lots of love, Kimberly
How exciting!!! Launching a book filled with your thoughts, emotions, your heart, and a big piece of yourself must be such an exhilarating and freeing feeling! I can’t wait to read it, Kimberly!
Thank you Stacy! Yes it is an extension of my heart. I am very grateful for this amazing opportunity to share! xoxo
Kim, CONGRATS! I will have my own book coming out at the end of the year and I can’t wait to have the same kind of feeling…so much work and heart goes into a project like that! I’m REALLY looking forward to my copies arriving at my house!
Thank you!! And good for you and your upcoming book! You’ll have to share it with all of us. 🙂 xo

Peace sista!! Salsa flute player?! Awesome!
Congrats Kimberly! You put in a lot of hard work and you totally deserve your moment!

Hello Kimberly!
I really like your blog, I’m from Portugal could I buy your book in pdf or ebook?
bjinhos
I’m so proud of you!!I’ve been following your blog for a few years now and I’ve seen you grow so much. Can’t wait to read your book 🙂
I bought the book today! I love it – it’s like all of the wisdom from all of your blogs in one compact, portable form. I’ve spent most of this lazy rainy Sunday reading it and I’m about half way through. It came at the perfect time for me because I’ve really allowed myself to fall back into bad habits as of late – having the new book will inspire me to get myself back on track. Thanks so much!
HI Claire, that’s wonderful!!! Now is a good time to get on track. 🙂 Love
I bought your book on a whim the other day and enjoyed it so much i read it in 2 days.. tried the green smoothie and i was pleasantly surprized how good it taste.. just need to get over drinking such vibrate green color.. best wishes on your book launch!
omg i feel so connected to you, i wish we could run into each other one time and have a yummy vegan lunch! i totally feel my creative side is limited, gotta see the infinte possibilities though and grow with everyone creatively
Realizing this post is from almost exactly a year ago and now having your book at home with me (all the time, I’ve fallen asleep reading it lol) it’s so cool to see how it all came together for you. That was a beautiful post. It’s such an amazing book because you’ve made it personal as well as scientific/holistic etc. This is what people need.
I read the Dr. Fuhrman books religiously (you’ve read them right? thought I saw you site one once) back when I had migraines/severe food allergies. And those books definitely made most of those problems go away (plant-based, vegan, nutritionally dense, all that) but like you’ve said in your book, I didn’t feel quite right. Digestive issues arose, kept weight on, blah blah. I’m so stoked to fully immerse myself in this beauty detox lifestyle to further my health & well-being and to realize once again how full our potential can be 🙂 Thanks so much girl!!!! You’ve done so much good already 🙂 !!
