Sad News...Apologies and Gratitude...

I have some news I feel very sad about. It feels like it’s time to share though… A month from now, thousands of vibrant, lively raw foodists will be gathered together in Sedona, Arizona, to celebrate the fabulous Raw Spirit Festival…and right now, it seems very unlikely that I will be able to join you all… :(
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm…visa complications are persisting for me and unless things dramatically shift in the next 4 weeks, it seems I am currently unable to enter the US…I absolutely love it here in Canada where I am right now...I would be SO delighted to come down to the US for the festie though too...
I have been holding off from announcing this, in the hope that things will shift…and they may indeed still yet – the GREAT thing to focus on is that myself and MANY other bright beings have been holding the vision of me actually being there for the festie…SO, we have a lot of energetic power behind this… ;) If you feel to also lend your visionary attention towards this, that would be wonderful :) Thank You…
I’m sorry for any disappointments and SO hope it will work out for me to join in the fun down south with y’all… ;) All limbs crossed ;)

I’m SO sorry. I guess the last newsletter I sent out produced quite some response and the RawReform server actually got totally overwhelmed with email traffic and crashed…EEEEEEEkkkkk…so, for all of you who tried to send in messages – especially for the ‘Who inspires YOU?’ Giveaway draw – apologies…the mail system is cooperating again now after some gentle encouraging, so please feel free to send things in again if you feel to, to angela@rawreform.com – thanks ;)

on September the 12th I had:

1 litre water
1 litre yellow watermelon juice – yummmmmmmmmm
1 dragon fruit and 6 fresh figs
500ml water
bowl of kale salad with sea spaghetti, sauerkraut and granulated wrack
little raw chocolate bar with raw shortbread
1 litre green juice with lemon
bowl of appleflax – blended apples mixed with ground flax seed, ground almonds, lucuma powder, swirled with a little spirulina and goji berries
1 litre water

Three things for which I have recently felt grateful:

1. Experiencing the most INCREDIBLY powerful thunder and lightening storm a couple of nights ago whilst out bike-riding…it was an intense experience…my energy had been tight during the day and I wanted to release…if ever I wanted confirmation of the truth that the outer reflects the inner, this was IT ;) The weather was beautiful as I set out, then rapidly shifted to gale-force winds, dramatic thunder and lightening all around me, lashing rain, hailstones and gusts so strong that they literally blew my glasses off…it was amazing…I was howling like a BANSHEE into the wind and my arms were whipped bright red from the cold hail and wind…what a release :O
2. Seeing the film ‘Hairspray’ recently at the cinema – MMMmmmmmm :))) SO sweet and funny and uplifting and wonderfully well acted…yes, I do just LOVE musicals… ;)
3. Reflecting on one of the gifts of our ‘constantly-on-the-move’ lifestyle: that we get the opportunity to see how SO many different houses and specifically kitchens function…it brings me so much inspiration and clarity for how I would like a raw kitchen to be as and when I settle somewhere…two things I see very clearly right now are that I want to have a HUGE amount of surface space for things to dry after being washed up, on racks/a surface that allows drainage AND I’ve also been really appreciating flexi cutting-board covers which you can chop things on, then pick up the sheet and slide the chopped yummies into your receptacle of choice ;) I’ll share more kitchen pointers as and when they present themselves ;)

One love,
Angela. xxx
