For those of us in Europe, we’re officially into 2009 - what a feeling! We all feel big stuff going on from what I can gather, certainly I do! In terms of “watch this space” - I’m just a few short hours from uploading my bumper free gift to you to get you springboarded into the best year of your life, ever! It’s looking grand but there’s just a few finishing touches I want to put to it before I send it out into the world… but there’s a few hours sleep to be had first! Looking forward to sharing…

Hi! As I briefly mentioned in my last post, I’ve been taking it really easy recently, having been going through what I’ll call “end of 2008 funk” – which basically means I was in need of a good rest and some serious rejuvenation on every level. Very unlike me to literally have to veg out completely, but it’s been a full-on year with very little rest so only to be expected really! As I started to wind down in the run up to Christmas, I also did a little experiment with “life” and for the first time in AGES (over…

What a beautiful and glorious journey this life is.  I am so glad that I chose be a part of it. ; )

As this year comes to an end I can’t help but feel so much gratitude…

Gratitude for this amazing community that I have seen grow, and is so dear to my heart. Gratitude for those that have supported me online on the dozen different sites I update. Gratitude for those that have opened up their homes to me on my travels.

But most importantly, Gratitude for those that have opened up their hearts. Your love is felt and appreciated.  Together we are creating heaven on earth.

Acne can be a troublesome and embarrassing issue. Many people search for remedies in medicated creams and astringent ointments without realizing that even though breakouts and pimples are external, the causes are internal. Treatments that are applied to the skin can only go so far in relieving the manifestation. Since topical lotions do not address the causes, they offer at best only a temporary solution. (more…)

Sunday is a fantastic day to relax, recoup and prepare for the week ahead. On Sundays, while cleaning, making food or planning, one of my most favorite things to do is to listen to educational and inspirational audio. Here is what I’m listening to today:

The Buddha in the World: Krista Tippett interviews Indian journalist Pankaj Mishra about the life of the Buddha. Mishra pursued the history and meaning of the Buddha, not as a religious figure but as a critical social thinker relevant to our time. Listen here

Maybe you’re lucky—you live in Florida, Arizona, or sunny California. But for the rest of us, it happens sooner or later…the abundant fresh raw foods you’ve been enjoying all summer and fall gives way to anemic, limp, out-of-season “losers” in your produce department. (more…)

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.

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 –…
