"Anastasia" Interview Playback Available NOW :)

WOW, did you listen in live to the radio show interview Mr. M did with Dr. Leo Sharashkin on Friday night? Mmmmmm, what a wonderful inspiration Dr. Leo is, stepping from a projected path of corporate business life into becoming the editor of the phenomenal "Anastasia" books into English, moving onto a plot of land, homebirthing and raising three vibrant children with his lovely wife, co-creating their kins' domain garden and now sharing workshops worldwide based on Anastasia's simple and profound message - to get to the land and start growing ;) Well, in truth, she shares a *lot* more than that in these books - this is the core message that I took from this life-shifting series though and it was SUCH a blessing to be able to speak with Leonid directly about this revolution...

If you missed the call, the free interview *PLAYBACK* can still be heard over at TheRawFoodWorldRadioShow.com until midnight Pacific time tonight (Sunday) - the special book offers on the call are also available until midnight Pacific tonight - enjoy :)))

on March the 27th I enjoyed:

1 quart water
2 cups greeeeeen juice mixed with carrot juice
bowl of leftover broccoli salad (chopped broccoli, avo/basil sauce, dulse, chopped tomatoes), followed by a few macadamia nuts with raisins
3 cups water
chunk of pineapple
shared yummy meal of guacamole, veggie crudites & flax crackers, followed by half a banana
2 mugs reishi/shilajit/ormus tea
2 cups water

I mentioned Anastasia's message above, to 'get to the land and start growing food' and wow, things are unfolding for us with such joy in that direction right now - we've been planting trees almost daily the last few weeks, plus getting the veggie garden beds ever-nearer to planting stage - YAY :) Today we picked up a whole new set of trees to plant too: dragon fruit, mulberries, macadamias, almonds...and many more on the way - we LOVE it :)))

On the subject of planting, many of you have been writing recently too, to let us know how *your* gardens and plant babies are coming along - it's especially exciting to hear how many of you have been planting up the heirloom tomato seeds that were offered last week, plus so many of you seem to have been having GREAT success with the outrageously prolific Ice Cream Bean seeds ;) Here's a message from one reader, JoAnn, about her experience so far with the Ice Cream Beans:

"I purchased two pods and planted all the seeds from one pod. I am pleased to announce I am now the custodian of more than twenty little new seedlings. I started them shortly after receiving them from you folks in late Feb they emerged March 10th.

You are so right they are prolific. Twenty something little seedlings from one pod. Now I'm waiting for at least two sets of true leaves to appear so I can move each new seedling into it's own 2 gal nursery pot. Care for the seedlings in my heated greenhouse until the weather is warm enough. Weather conditions prevailing set them out side for the summer. As I live just north of Seattle, Washington (not exactly tropical weather) it will not be until July I can safely set them out. The Ice Cream Bean trees will need to overwinter inside a greenhouse until next year. Then to new homes with really big greenhouses.

I bet I'm the only one on my street with an Ice Cream Bean forest. Thanks !

Honored to hold the light of awareness, joy and magic 

Thank you, JoAnn"

;) LOVE it ;)

All love and lightning blessings of divine alignment to you all,

Come Fruit Tree Planting With Us in Vilcabamba, Ecuador :)

Ooooooo, we have a *yummy* new development to announce about the intended Raw Food Gathering in Vilcabamba, Ecuador, May 4th-14th :) Join Mr. M and I, David Wolfe, the Wheatgrass Messiah, *Solla* from Iceland (hopefully - I am nudging the Universe daily to support this... ;) and many other yumsters for a fruity, earthy, delicious experience down south...
We're intending to plant fruit trees all around Vilcabamba, in areas that are open to receiving nature's bounty... As you may know, Mr. M and I pledged to donate $1 from the sale of every printed version of my book "Raw Emotions" to charities that either plant new trees or protect old growth forests. WELL...which finer charity to donate these shiny pennies to than Dr. Wolfe's Fruit Tree Planting Foundation? :)
This idea was 'downloaded' to me one morning recently during my Juice Feast as I awoke and I literally sprang out of bed with excitement about it ;) We intend to gather up baby fruit trees in Vilcabamba in the coming months and locate suitable places to help them connect to Mama Earth...everyone who comes down to play at the Raw Food Gathering in May will be welcome to join us in this community fruit tree planting adventure :) YAY :) ...and if you'd like to purchase a printed copy of "Raw Emotions" to support this venture, you can find the books HERE.
So...if you don't yet have clear plans for May and would love to come and explore Vilcabamba, plant trees, connect with the raw tribe and experience the sublime synchronous flow of the Andes, this might be a fun event for you to enjoy - we look forward to seeing you there, if you are drawn...http://rawinecuador.ning.com :)

1 quart water
3 tbsp freeze-dried acai powder - WOW :)
2 cups greeeeeen juice
3 cups greeeeeeeeen juice
2 tbsp coconut oil, 30 chlorella tablets, 3 tbsp acai powder
1 quart water
2 cups greeeeen juice
2 tbsp acai powder
2 cups water
mug of herbal tea
2 cups green juice
2 cups water

Sooooo...as I write, today is Day 34 of the Green Juicy adventure I am currently involved in...I have started to include some acai powder (WOW) and now that we're not at the Tree and loving having half a gallon of fresh juice provided for us daily by the Cafe, I suspect food might start to seem more and more appealing in the coming days - we'll see how it flows...;)
For now, I mainly still feel like someone who is Juice Feasting, with some other little bits here and there on the side...my body definitely seems to be wanting *simple* things in all my choices - e.g. just acai powder on its own, nothing else ;) lol... We are back in Ojai, California now, with all the incredible edibles from the local farmers - WOW, outstanding produce - we are *so* blessed here...

A few of you have been writing in to ask for my favourite juice recipes...hmmmmmm...well, here are some ideas:

*'Chocolate Milk' - spinach, romaine lettuce, carrot - tastes like CHOCOLATE MILK ;O Amazing...
*Celery/Cucumber/Apple/Ginger - sooooo refreshing and uplifting, totally more-ish...
*Romaine/Fennel/Carrot/Spinach/Sunflower Greens - subliiiiime :)

Note - these are not the kind of greeeeeen juices I've been drinking for the last month - those have all been low glycemic (no fruits/carrots etc) - these three suggestions listed above just taste great to most people, which is an important factor... ;) There are no *amounts* given for the produce items, as it is up to you to decide how to much of each ingredient to use - enjoy :)

Hope that helps - happy juicing :)))

BLOG ACTION DAY...(and 'no-email-action' day ;)

First off, a PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
This comment was left by Heidi today and I replied to it on the comments section, but am copying it all here as well, as I want to be sure everyone sees it who may want to know... ;)
Heidi said:
Angela,
I have been trying to reach you via email, but I can't get through to your email. I keep getting undeliverable messages via rawreform@rawreform.com Please let me know if you have a new email address? Perhaps your email is down?
Hope to talk to you soon,
~ Heidi

I replied:
THANK YOU for your message - yes, having major issues with all '@rawreform.com' emails right now, I'm very sorry to say :( Apologies to all of you who have been trying to send messages there and find they bounce back...The email server gremlins seem to have monkeyed the whole thing at the moment...some 'webmasters' are currently working on fixing the issue though ;) Please send good ju-ju their way and hopefully all of your messages won't have been warped into cyber-space...In the meantime, please re-direct any messages to rawreform@hotmail.com if you want to be sure they get through...

Ok...(exhale)...so, on with the show ;)

Secondly...WOW, today NewsTarget published one of my weight loss articles as their lead article in a whole email blast about raw foods. If you’re not familiar with the work of NewsTarget and its founder, Mike Adams, I’d highly recommend checking it out. They send out email shots most days with cutting-edge alternative health info. It is an extremely popular email service, with over 100,000 subscribers I believe…and today, raw foods got highlighted in a big email blast to that whole list…WOW...imagine if ALL those people shimmied a little further into the light of raw foods, what am impact that would have... :)…aside from my article, which you can see HERE, Mike Adams himself also just posted an insightful personal report from the Raw Spirit Fest – see HERE, plus another article examines gluten intolerance…

on October the 15th I had:

1.2 litres water
800ml green juice with carrot
bowl of soaked dried figs blended with hemp seeds and cinnamon – RIDICULOUSLY yummy and simple…
1 litre water
800ml green juice with carrot
bowl of sea spaghetti with pumpkin seed butter and granulated wrack
Pro2Go packs for ‘dessert’ ;)
1.5 litres water

Thirdly (yet by no means lastly ;) ...today – October the 15th – is officially ‘Blog Action Day’, wherein bloggers all over the world form a ‘united front’ to blog on the same topic, hence drawing attention to that subject. The theme this year is ‘The Environment’…hmmmmmm…well, well, well…what would I like to share about the environment…??? Where to begin…? I think I will give my top ten tips for ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION – action, after all, is where it’s at – we can read and write all the blahblah we like about the environment – taking action is the key for real, lasting shifts…so, here we go, in no particular order…

1. Compost your food scraps and re-use/recycle all else that you can of your waste. Start TODAY. (Hmmmm...have I ever mentioned composting before…??? ;) Are you starting to see a pattern emerging here…? ;)

2. Grow your own food – even if it’s in window boxes, plant pots or indoors – get truly ‘local’ with your food choices and grow your own.

3. Choose organic, if you’re not already. That goes for food, clothes and anything else where you have a choice. You vote with your dollar on these matters every single day – what are you going to choose?

4. Learn more about foraging – the more people who are able to identify edible plants and make use of them/educate others, the better, in my opinion. This is a HIGHLY valuable skill.

5. Read the Anastasia books and put what you learn into practice. NOTHING in recent years has motivated me more to get to a piece of land and start raising my own food and family than these books.

6. Try walking or riding a bike somewhere you would normally drive a car to reach. Re-evaluate this journey. Do you really ‘need’ to use a vehicle to get there, or are actually driving from habit?

7. Plant some trees OR support charities that do so. We support The Woodland Trust in the UK and The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation, based in the US.

8. Pick up some litter in YOUR area – caring for the earth is something we can all do. Maybe you didn’t drop that litter yourself. You could pick it up though. Try seeing all pieces of land, all aspects of nature - the whole picture - as something you are connected to.

9. Cease using new plastic/paper bags at shops. Invest in some fabric bags or ‘bags for life’, as sold in many supermarkets these days. Keep some in your vehicle, or near your keys etc – somewhere you will remember to take them with you to the shops. If you live in a country where the shops do not yet charge you for each plastic bag you use, try to imagine you DO live somewhere like that…imagine each bag cost you $1 – then how many would you use?

10. Dry your clothes OUTSIDE IN THE AIR/SUN whenever possible. Tumble dryers are one of the most energy-consuming appliances in the home.

Ok…that will do for now ;) I could have gone on for a few more pages there…10 is a good start…I’d recommend checking out the site of The Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales for more ideas…I used to live/work there…it’s a phenomenal place…

One Earth, one love,
Angela. xxx
