From the very bottom of my heart, I want to wish you the best, most Joyful and Happy Thanksgiving!
One thing I am incredibly grateful for is that I am in the position to share all of this wonderful information and experiences with you and the entire community on a weekly basis, and I want to let you know how much I appreciate your love, dedication and support. We are all connected and I am have so much gratitude for that. I give thanks for you being in my life each and every day.
I’m currently traveling through Rwanda, Africa at the moment, with my beloved husband, John. The people and land are just beautiful beyond words! Below are some pictures we’ve taken so far — including some with the charity we very much love and support, called Gardens for Health International:
Thanks again for being such an integral part of this Realize Yourself community and all that we do!
With my deepest love and gratitude,
Kimberly
Dear Kimberly,
I am so inspired by your post from Rwanda. I love that you and your husband are doing something so meaningful on this day; such a special day, which can sometimes be more about commerce than the heart.
Happy Thanksgiving & safe travels!

Beautiful pictures Kimberly! Fantastic that you are introducing these beautiful children to green smoothies. I love to teach people how good greens are and I am not yet lean! Thank you for spreading these healthy habits to the children of the world!!! Blessings, and thanksgiving to you. :))
Kimberly!
I love your blogs and everything that you are teaching. I just got home from thanksgiving dinner with family and friends and checked my e- mail and there you are in Africa doing wonderful things! You are a true inspiration and living your dream…
Thank YOU for giving back to others! With such great projects and ideas as the ones from Gardens for Health International. This is just awesome and keeps the love/health/environment energy from your work, and our presence, growing! 🙂 Happy thanksgiving from France to you all 🙂
So glad I started to follow you, not only do you give exceptionally great advice and tips but I am soooooo impressed with pictures above, thats what its all about reaching out and lending a helping hand, I have just started supporting a charity called farm africa that helps to teach them more skills about farming land, it must have been so rewarding. Your amazing with a beautiful heart of light I wish more would come together and speak life into these people………these are our people!!!!!! Much respect Kimberley xx
Hi Kim,
What a coincidence! I was in Rwanda last week visiting the girls whose education our Women ‘s Initiative is sponsoring and the schools where our company donates software. It is a special place, for sure!
On another note, I wanted to say that the probiotics are fantastic! I am spreading the word!
Thank you for all you do.
Oh my goodness! My heart swells looking at these sweet photos. Those boys are gorgeous. I just want to hug them all.
Thank you so much for everything you have taught me! I love the GGS.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Kimberly,
You are a very special lady! thank you for all that you do with your life and your teachings.
Oh my, You are such a light to the world Kimberly!
God bless your sweet heart for sharing good health with the children of Africa!
This sounds like a great project. Beautiful pictures! Do you always travel with your Vitamix?

Hi,
The organization is doing great things-thanks for bringing it to our attention. I feel compelled to comment on your photos, particularly those with the Vitamix. Honestly, I find it somewhat offensive to bring this $200+ appliance to a a place like Rwanda to people who will probably never have access to a blender of any kind. Can the smoothies be made by the parents of the kids indulging in the drink, without a blender? It seems a case of giving people fish, but not actually teaching them to fish . I understand that kind of living, as I was a Peace Corps volunteer once, living in a rural community with no running water or electricity. I think a little more cultural sensitivity should have been in order, and the Vitamix not been part of the scene.
Vilma –
Thank you for your comment. The blender that is in the photos is owned by Gardens For Health and was donated by
Vitamix a few years ago. After being in Rwanda and the villages, I disagree with your comment. Yes in the villages
electricity is not available and parents can’t use a Vitamix, but one of the biggest problems in Rwanda
villages is malnutrition which is what the whole Gardens for Health program is about as it educates and provides
families with a means to grow there own food, as well as learn to be self sustaining with the farming. Before you make judgments
you should read about the great work they are doing.
Giving out daily GGS to the children isn’t the focus of the program, but it is a great bonus as everyday
dozens of village children come to the center to drink GGS which not only improves their health,
but also teaches them to value and love fruits and vegetables. For me giving daily GGS to dozens of children in
the village is far better then not giving it to them. If you saw how much the children loved drinking
and get so excited for it every day you might have a different opinion. To me its about helping the children
any way you can.
Awesome, just simply awesome.
YOU ARE AN ANGEL! There is no daoubt in my mind about that. Thank you so much for shareing the beautiful pictures!! You are changing the world!
It takes one to know one! 🙂 Thank you Judy!
