East Coast Raw Spirit Festival

Aloha!
I hope this post finds everyone well! I just wanted to talk about the Raw Spirit Festival call last night! It was a wonderful call, Arianna and Rawbin are getting the volunteers all organized! If you haven’t participated in one of these calls yet, I highly recommend it! They are great for information and [...]

Happy Inauguration Day!

Being “the change that you want to see in the world” (Ghandi) is something that a lot of raw foodists resonate with. Today’s inauguration is no exception. The power and energy around DC (I live/work 20 minutes outside of the Beltway) is amazing right now. I am having a very difficult time focusing on my [...]

When the weather outside is…

Good afternoon!
If you are on the east coast (or possibly the whole US, I’m not sure) you are experiencing the same weather I am. It’s COLD! I have finally got my house to a balmy 76 degrees and I have to admit, I am quite happy with that (I love wood stoves). It’s absolutely beautiful [...]

Kicking off the New Year Right

Well it’s official! It’s 2009! With that comes all sorts of wonderful things. For many this is a chance to start over, especially after the economic hit that a lot of people have taken in the past 365 days. I hope that if your choice is to start anew you will do it mind, body [...]

On goals and synchronicities…

This afternoon I opened “The Sunfood Diet Success System” and I was on a new chapter. I must tell you, I was very surprised to see that the chapter was titled “Goals.” I just wanted to share one of the quotes from the first page with you. This was so funny after just writing about [...]

Have you set your Goal’s?

Well, today I pulled a card from my self care deck and found it quite interesting. Are you curious what the card I pulled was? Well, the card was “goals.” The reason I found it so interesting is because this is right about the time of year where everyone in the world is deciding what [...]

Are you Brushing?

Body brushing to be exact. I read about it a while back while reading about natural alternatives to the traditional bathroom routine (shower, shampoo, soap up, dry off). I believe I was reading a forum topic on Gone Raw. At the time I was actually looking for natural alternatives to the bathing routine because I [...]

Superfoods for your Skin

I was reading through my emails and came across this NaturalNews article that I found very interesting. I haven’t gotten to into superfoods yet because of the learning curve with my raw lifestyle. I am starting to get more into incorporating whole superfoods into my diet (by whole I mean I am not getting my [...]

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is one of the holistic modalities that I find very interesting. I am fascinated with the way whole plants essences can be extracted to provide aromatic remedies. One of my favorites is lavender. But I have a hard time finding a good, high quality essential oil. I do not purchase them in natural foods [...]
