Rawfoodism seems to have cornered a market. And at times it may be more of a grasping than a market. I sometimes hesitate to tell people I have a raw food blog because the word rawfood conjures up some resistance even in me I suppose. And yet there is a need for the genre of eating habits or influences called rawfoodism because it is inclusive of vegetarians, vegans and meat eaters (even cooked food eaters) it is not about extremism. It is only radical in so far as we now live in a society that finds the norm in commonly self medicating with synthetic foods. In a culture where we all grew up eating primarily fruits and vegetables and living on farms it would have been absurd to speak of a raw food community. Now as an organized group it irresistibly exists even in the heart of the busiest cities, including a giant span between beautifully simple delicacies and the gourmet.

Aloha!

A beloved friend of mine named Carol Fitzpatrick just sent out a beautiful holiday message, with a GIFT, the gift of setting an intention for JOY.

She explains this is very easy, it is just a matter of setting our intention to be resonating at a vibration of JOY!

Joy means many things to people, so whatever it means for you, the GIFT is to meditate on truly activating our JOY TO THE NEXT LEVEL!!

Merry Christmas! I mentioned on my Christmas Eve eZine earlier that I’d be doing a catch up on here, and here it is… So… yes, I’ve been fairly quiet recently. This was down to a combination of preparing for my Raw Food Classes Training (which was last week and went really well – very exciting!), then hitting a complete wall with my energy (way too many late nights and not enough R&R) followed by the onset of school holidays on Friday afternoon. Since then I’ve been spending quality time with Luke (6) and taking it as easy as possible –…

I was planning on asking questions about how you spend your holidays, but guess what? Dhrumil at WLIR beat me to it.

So I decided why not ask the same questions and see what Raw Food Right Now readers have to say?
