Love, Peace & Vegetables with Marcela Benson, M.A.

Aging GreatFULLy with Holley Kelley

In this week’s Aging GreatFULLy we celebrate the rich bounty found in Love, Peace and Vegetables as we welcome guest Marcela Benson, M.A., author of just that book! This power-hour will capture the heart of even meat and potato enthusiasts with a dialogue rich in wisdom for passionate living and healthy lifestyles.
We discover in the opening, vegetables have had their share of twists, turns and trials throughout time, but it’s hard to imagine life today without them! And today, many are learning to love vegetables in more ways than ever before.
Marcela Benson is a Spiritual Nutrition Counselor, Essene Priestess, and author based in Miami Beach, Florida. She is a healer, passionate poet, avid student and spiritual teacher. And she created Love, Peace & Vegetables: Recipes for Conscious Living, as an inspirational guide to bring health, spirituality, positivity and compassion to the lives and homes of readers. This Magnus Opus coffee table book holds more than 18 years of research in the field of body, mind, spirit and began nutrition and she brings this knowledge together as an exquisitely designed book that includes lifestyle advice, inspiration, poetry, affirmations, tips, pristine eating food prep instruction never before assembled in one place, including menus, over 150 Live-Food, Vegan recipes, original art, and gorgeous color photography of luscious mouth-watering dishes to entice any pallet.
Between the pages of her book and in our conversation, we discuss the importance of water, as Marcela talks about what we should know about drinking water including gemstone water. She shares how even those who haven’t cared for vegetables in the past can come to enjoy them. She imparts wisdom for Aging GreatFULLy and appreciating life and is candid about what we know as we journey through life – you’ll have to listen to find out what I mean here! But the story about what led her to create this book is a special one… including how this beautiful, one-of-a-kind book came to be.
Part-guidebook, part manual, exquisite picture book and work of art, celebration of food and life, as well as her Sage approach of adding more love, peace and for some – even perhaps servings of vegetables – to the world, it is certainly a gift worth giving.
