Tranquility DeJure, June 2nd, 2014.

Bonjour and welcome to the 306th edition of Tranquility DeJure.

Today's show features Jamie Carpovich on Saving the Cales, which is the cutest name ever,

and you're going to hear about how she got her TV show, why it's important to save the

cails, and more.

I hope that you are as inspired by Jamie as I am, and it was when I met her last year at Victoria Moran's Main Street

Vegan Academy in New York City. And just a little update before we hear from Jamie,

I'm fresh back from Costa Rica where I dined on way more papaya than I probably should have,

and I'm missing my fresh-cut fruit in the mornings. And the birds that woke me up every day at about 4.45 a.m.

And where we would go to bed about 8 p.m., completely exhausted and ready to start again. So it's funny this whole like shift in in the rhythms, you know, as you come back to reality. So it's

Monday morning and, and it's June birthday month. And the very exciting thing is I just found out,

actually, as I landed at the Miami airport back in the States this weekend, that after waiting

for eight months, I got into something I'm on the waiting list for that starts on Friday,

and it's John Kabat-Zinn's mindfulness-based stress reduction training. So I'm so excited I'll be

heading up to Omega, where I haven't been since 2007, when I did the month-long Jiva Mukti training.

And I'll be there for a week.

And so I don't know how much I'll be blogging while I'm there, but I know I'll be fully immersed in the mindfulness practice.

And I'm really, really looking forward to sharing that work and continuing to share that work with you.

So thank you, as always, for following along.

And without further ado, the lovely Jamie, who is the host of Save the Cales, and it's a half-hour vegan cooking and lifestyle TV show based in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, and it's online. She's a freelance writer and author of The Fresh Perspectives with Jamie Kay,

column in Lehigh Valley Style Magazine, a public speaker, and a certified vegan life coach.

She's won six Morning Call blog awards, was nominated for an Emmy as TV host in 2013.
