We are
very excited to bring in the New Year this way, with
raw family :) We're especially looking forward to the Inipi (ceremonial
lodge) on New Year's Eve, which we intend to all emerge from at exactly
midnight... Then we're going to have a
New Year's Day party on January the first, with music and delicious food, where we'll enjoy an
intention circle and collectively set the course for a totally flowing, synchronous,
divinely healthy 2010 ;)
We hope that you'll join us for this AMAZING, powerful,
life–shifting retreat...

October the 27th I was blissed with:
1 quart water
2 cups veggie juice: celery, fennel, spinach, carrot, ginger
2 Tbsp bee pollen, 2 Tbsp spirulina crunchies, an apple
bowl of energy soup with sauerkraut and spicy sunflower seeds, followed by a YUMMY slice of raw blueberry cheesecake :)
3 cups water
2 cups goji juice with marine phytoplankton, Merlin's Elixir and Etherium Gold
an apple with ½ a bag of Noniland Coconut Crisps and an apple–oat cookie
3 cups water
I've been doing a lot of
'mindless' work for the last week on the computer (
repetitive stuff that doesn't require much of my actual attention) and when I'm doing tasks like this, I LOVE to listen to
inspiring information. As a result I've been tuning into
Raw Vegan Radio and also
Raw Inspirations Radio – love them :) Both of these shows provide masses of
free interviews with fascinating people in the raw foods movement and beyond – I'd recommend tuning in for some inspiration if you don't already and big
KUDOS to Steve and Laura for providing these great services... :) What do YOU like to listen to at times like these? Any
recommendations...?
