Into the New...

Happy 2009, beautiful people.
I hope you had a FANTASTIC launch into this delightful new year...we certainly had an eventful last day of the year, between packing up to leave Mexico, doing a lot of filming for projects, dealing with dog traumas, listening in to the prize announcements for the ‘Best of Raw 2008’ awards and ‘accidentally’ doing a live 2–hour online broadcast with the Monarch and the Giannis, it was a bit of a packed day and I ended up having about 2 hours sleep last night...
Well, we had a lot of fun though, especially during the live broadcast – thanks to all of you who came out to join in – it was so fun to play games, discuss goals/resolutions for the new year, do prize giveaways and so on... :)
MY resolution was to sing more and we got straight on it, with Mr. Gianni on guitar and all of us warbling along with some of our favourite tooooons. (If you missed this gathering, I believe you can view it HERE, although I believe the first 20 minutes or so accidentally didn’t get recorded. My favourite part starts around 1h 10mins into it, when we sing 'My Life' by The Beatles ;)

on December the 31st I had:

1 quart water
2 cups green juice: celery, cucumber, lettuces, radish, dandelion, lime, ginger
20 chlorella ‘nuts’
2 cups energy soup with kale chips, followed by a chunk of raw coconut ice cream
3 cups water
2 cups green juice: celery, cucumber, lettuces, radish, dandelion, lime, ginger
1.5 cups energy soup with kale chips, followed by a hand–made yumpot of hemp butter, carob powder, lucuma powder, stevia, cinnamon, maca, vanilla powders, water
mug of herbal tea
water of a young coconut
2 cups water

Mmmmmm, I’m excited to let you know that yesterday we also finally recorded a little video demo of how to make energy soup – which has been posted to RenegadeHealth.com – I know a LOT of you have been interested to see smthg along those lines, so you can check that out HERE if that would please you... ;)

Or perhaps you’d enjoy seeing Matt’s adventure at a San Diego Farmer’s Market, where he stumbled upon Julie and her ‘Born this Morn’ green smoothie company. Julie makes green smoothies and sells them at local markets – GREAT job, Julie :) – she also has plans to take them into schools and businesses – you can see that video HERE.

If you’d also like to meet our PUPPIES, there is a very sweet little video of them just posted to RenegadeHealth HERE. Mr. M has them with him back in the US now and we just keep on sending them love and love and love...


on January the 1st I had:

2 quarts water
20 chlorella ‘nuts’ and 2 tbsp Sproutein powder
lettuce wraps stuffed with avocado, cucumber, kelp/cayenne powder and shredded kale, followed by some freeze–dried jackfruit – yum ;)
3 cups water
2 tbsp greeeeeen powder
little bowl of raw cereal with macadamia ‘mylk’
1 quart water

I’m writing this post from Mexico City airport, amidst an epic 24 hour journey back to the UK...eeeeeeeeeek ;) It has been SUCH a blessing for Mr. M and I to be able to pass this last month in Mexico together (well, together about half the time anyway, as he came and went from the US)...Now it’s time to shimmy on back to Blighty though and visit those nice people at the American Embassy to see what happens next with my Fiancee Visa...we’re sincerely hoping to see the end of this process very soon...any bright blessings sent in the direction of that vision will be most gratefully received ;)
(P.S. a woman just gave a very sweet announcement over the loud speaker here at the airport in Mexico, in broken English that 'you will arrive at your destiny on time'...what a beautiful 'slip', I'll take that as a good sign ;)

See you on the other side ;)
Happy New Year galavantings to ye all...
One love,

Crossing the Boundaries of Time...

Mmmmmm, the end of another year, eh? Thank you, sweet people, for all your jolly interactions this year...it’s been a wonderful journey, as ever…
I will say though that it feels nothing like New Year’s Eve to me here in Mexico ;) LOL...not quite sure why...I suspect it has smthg to do with time seeming to speed up constantly – it could just as easily be May or June to me...the end of December already? Well, ok, if you like... ;) I seem to have passed another year without living in any one place for more than a few months again...I would guestimate the number of places I stayed this year as at least 80 or so...HOPEFULLY all that will shift soon though, as and when our US Visa process moves along...breathing deeeeeeeeeeep for that ;)
As for New Years Eve, well, we have the honour of having the delightful Mr and Mrs Gianni over to visit for this auspicious occasion, so I’m sure we’ll have some fun footage to share with you soon ;) You can catch up with recent episodes of TheRawFoodWorld TV Show HERE on Mr. M’s blog...yesterday we went to visit the five–star, raw food healing hospital Sanoviv here in Mexico and...they didn’t seem very excited to see us – was it the shoes, was it the hair? ;) Hmmmm, you can find out more HERE ;)

Puppy Update: thanks again for ALL the amazing guidance, love and suggestions people have been sending in about feeding/raising our rescued puppies raw. (If you don’t know about our new canine companions, you can see more about them HERE.)
Today my heart sang as Sandy, the mumma dog wagged her tail for the very first time since she came to us. :) :) :) ahhhhhh, SO beautiful to see. Imagine being around a child who you’ve never seen laugh or even smile and then they suddenly grin ;) It was so delightful and I’m so grateful to see her getting stronger each day, slowly slowly. Please do keep sending them all love, light and healing thoughts if you feel drawn to do so – it makes all the difference...
As for us humans, well, I’d like to sign off here below with a sweet little stanza that I first posted on my blog way back on New Year’s Eve 2006. I like it. I hope you do too...and moreover, I hope you have a WONDERFUL New Year, of joy, enriching connections, love, happiness, surrender to the flow, dancing, squeaking randomly and hugging spontaneously...
May all blessings be yours.
All love,
Angela. xxx

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
--Alfred, Lord Tennyson

The Spoon-Licker Cometh...

WELL...as I write this, there are just 10 days until Christmas...looks like we’ll be enjoying a MeXican–shaped X–mas this year...we don’t have a Christmas tree or any decorations...we do have a lot of cacti though and a semi–adopted puppy called Barbados who likes to ‘decorate’ our floor with gifts of her own and chew the cacti ;) I’ve never toilet–trained a puppy before – hmmmm, it’s quite some task, eh? ...it’s SO rewarding though to see how she’s starting to get the hang of it more and more ;) I somehow hadn’t envisioned myself spending quite so much time here in Mexico clapping and cooing at the excretions of a canine...well, the Universe has its own peculiar games to unfold of course ;)
Incidentally, did you know that in Iceland there are 13 ‘Santas’? They come down from the mountains one per day during the days preceding Christmas Eve and they have rather unusual habits...today for example was the day for ‘spoon–licker’ santa to make his appearance...I think you can guess what his passion is...his other compadres include sausage snatcher, window peeper, door sniffer, candle beggar, pot scraper and door slammer...hmmmmm...who would YOU invite to your Holiday parties...? (btw, the mother of the 13 santas is called ‘Grýla’ and apparently she eats babies...) You can read all about the exploits of the unconventional Icelandic santa crew HERE.

2 cups water

I would like to share here a very simple, beautiful little concept that I received in an email recently:

The best way to multiply happiness is to divide it.

LOVE that...sooo beautiful...how might YOU help to multiply the community happiness factor today? Smile at a stranger? ‘Random’ act of kindness? Gift to a loved one? There are so many ways we can share...and everything positive we share like this is radiated back to us manifold over – we are SO blessed...

on December the 14th I had:

1 quart water
little cup of spicy tea
2 tbsp sproutein powder
2 cups energy soup with okra and kale chips on the side, followed by an almond crunch bar
mug of spicy tea

3 cups green juice: celery, cucumber, kale, fennel, romaine, dandelion, ginger, lime

Here’s a juicy question that came in recently from Kelly...
“Hi Angela, when you juice, do you use a juicer? Or do you make it like on juicefeasting.com using the vitamix and nutmilk bag? do you think you lose significantly more nutrients when using the vitamix/nutmilk compared to juicing with a juicer?”
Kelly

Thanks for your Q Kelly :). Well, at this point in time, we are in Mexico and we're using a Breville Juice Fountain juicer - we make the juice, then also squeeeeeeeze the pulp through a nut milk bag, to get LOTS more juice (we tend to get at LEAST another 16oz that way we find ;O... )
When we're in the UK, we have a little twin gear Kempo, Mr. M also has a Norwalk juicer in the US and when we’re travelling in other places/staying with other people, we use whatever is available – so, we use different things depending on where we are...
Yes, the juice definitely oxidises a lot faster when using a vitamix/nut milk bag combo OR when using a centrifugal juicer too - twin gear juicers or Norwalk juicers are the best choices, if you're looking for nutrient value and the potential to make juice ahead of time and store it in a fridge ;) The Vitamix/nut milk bag combo is GREAT though for ease and if you're going to drink the juice quickly ;)
Hope that helps...

All love,
Angelalalalalaaaaaaaaaa. xxx

Viva Mexico ;)

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE–HAHAAHahahahahaaaaaaa :) We in Mexico now = coconuts, warmth, sun, smiles, beach, papayas and various other forms of yumminess, thank you...grateful, grateful, SO grateful... Back with the marvellous Monarch, nesting in a sweet little green–coloured house in a quiet neighbourhood next to the coast, with a sun–trap patio with views to the ocean, a puppy called ‘princess’ and an abundance of coconut stands nearby with friendly machete–yielding locals ;) Stokes is ALL about the coconuts...we already have amassed an absolute glut of coconut meat from all the cocos we’ve been drinking...fortunately the Monarch brought a dehydrator here from the US, so we will surely be duly experimenting with various forms of coconut ‘crepes’ to make into rawviolis etc...last time we lived somewhere with a dehydrator (abt 2 years ago now), the Monarch was always churning out amazing coconut goodies – so, let’s see what he gets up to now ;)

on November the 30th I had:

1.5 quarts water
2 yummy apples
1 quart water
1tsp wheatgrass powder
bowl of Shellbel Grawnola with brazil nut milk and gojis – yummmmmmmm :)

2 tbsp AMAZING green powders: sproutein, red clover sprout powder, Greener Grasses

1 quart water
water of one young coconut
1.5 cups energy soup with crackers and sugar snap peas of the side, followed by more raw ice cream ;)
3 cups water

You know I love sharing some of the more unusual search terms people key into search engines, to end up on this blog (as shown in the admin stats for the site)...well, here are some recent intriguing enquiries:

*frederic patenaude nude
*is nutella a raw food?
*can raw pumpkin seeds grow in the human body?
*squirrel pee toxic
*what can i get free for my birthday?

Love it ;) So, here are my responses for today, in order, for anyone with similar enquiries in the future:

*errrrrm, not round here...
*mmm, hopeful...you can MAKE ‘raw nutella’ though, with hazelnut butter and carob powder – yummmmmm ;)
*highly unlikely – sounds like a fun experiment though ;) ...not sure where you’d keep them...
*I’ve never tried it...it is technically raw though, I guess ;)
*Mmmm, good question...sun rays? glimpses of glorious nature? yummy hugs? wild greens? dips in natural hot springs? smiles? ...?


on December the 2nd I had:

Mmmmm, there’s a beautiful song I’ve been SO loving lately and wanted to share with you...it’s called ‘Far Far’ by Yael Naim...mmmmmm, have you heard it before? What a beautiful soul...I don’t know what the song might mean to Yael herself, or others who hear it, but to me it speaks of the delicate feeling of awe that comes when a new creative project is downloaded into your consciousness from the Universe and one faces the choice of if/when/how to say “yes” to embodying this new project into this dimension...it reminds me of the quote from Anais Nin:

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful
than the risk it took to blossom.”

As the song also feels beautifully feminine to me, it also speaks to me of the subtle, sweet flow of the right hemisphere/goddess energy that is always there somewhere in the background (at least), no matter how much the left hemispheres of the human world might seem to be ‘in control’ ;) It speaks to me of all the beautiful women out there who are creating and loving and living and giving...I almost invariably end up crying when I listen to this song, it moves me so much – especially towards the end of the song – her voice is so sweet and clear... So, I wanna embed the song here from YouTube for you to listen to if you choose...and to dedicate this to all my si*stars* out there...;) I tried to find a good version of it to share from YouTube – there doesn’t seem to be an ‘official’ version on there, so I chose this little compilation that someone seems to have put together and posted – I hope you enjoy ;) (Oh, I recommend listening with earphones if possible – it always moves me more that way ;) ENJOY :)

Giving Value...

As I write this, I am on my way to Mexico and back to my beloved, all being well... :)
Today I packed down and cleaned house again for the...Xth...time this year. As I mentioned recently, I’ve been house–sitting at my parents’ place in England these last couple of weeks and simultaneously clearing out masses of physical STUFF from my past :) FUN :) On Thursday night we had an amazingly lovely raw girlie giveaway potluck and I happily released a great deal of old belongings (as well as very happily becoming the proud owner of some sweet new clothes from some yummy raw si*stars*). Today felt really momentous to me as I stood in my parents’ attic looking at the little pile of ‘stuff’ that remains now, that is connected to me. All stacked together, it fills a space of perhaps 3 large cardboard boxes sat next to each other...I stood and looked at it for quite a while, feeling intrigued to see SO clearly the stuff that is related to me. I don’t imagine many people often see all their physical belongings packed so clearly into a space together – things are usually spread out all over the place in houses and so on – I just found it really interesting to look at this pile of stuff and know that this is now all there is. Or at least, those are the things that are staying there in the UK for now ;) With me on this journey now I have clothes, computer, books and some foods...and well, perhaps when next I find myself in the UK and look at those objects remaining in the attic, I’ll find the impulse to release even more of them – we’ll see ;) For now I’m very happy with the point things have come to and am happy to be moving on again with such clarity...and in the direction of the Monarch and coconuts ;) lol...YAY :)

on November the 27th I had:

1 quart water
little mug of rooibus tea
2 cups veggie juice: celery, spinach, kale, carrot, Jersusalam artichoke, ginger
2 cups energy soup with flax crackers and okra, followed by goji/carob yumballs
3 cups water
2 cups veggie juice: celery, spinach, kale, carrot, Jersusalam artichoke, ginger
cup of ‘wild power’ tea
plate of raw potluck food: greeeen/sprout salad with dips, followed by chia/pomegranate pudding and chocolate treats – yummmm :)
cup of rooibus tea
3 cups water

OooOooooo, here’s a yummy little news nugget I saw recently in Brighton’s Wave magazine: the UK Environment Agency has created a help pack to encourage and help people in London to create green roofs on buildings. LOVE IT :) I first consciously encountered green/living roofs when I lived at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) in Wales. For anyone who isn’t familiar with them, it basically means creating a living, breathing, thriving, grassy community on your rooftop :) It’s a way of adding masses of extra greeeeeen space into communities, more space for bugs and other tiny people to live and commune, more places to lay in the grass in the sun, more insulation for buildings, more space for pretty flowers to grow and so on...yummy. For more info on creating such a space, visit the Environment Agency site here:
www.environment–agency.gov.uk/greenroofs
We would LOVE to see pictures of your thriving green roofs, if you have any to share ;)

3 cups water


OOoOooooo, did you hear the interview Kevin Gianni recently put up with Steve Pavlina? LOVE IT :) Awwwwww, two such kind, open–hearted, healthy, loving men sharing an hour’s discussion on self–development and finding/enjoying your life path – I thought it was very yummy...and SO insightful too. I just LOVE the way Steve’s logic seems to work, while at the same time his heart seems totally engaged. He is so SO clear – it’s like truth, simplicity and clarity seem to just effortlessly flow through him and out into the world... He has some outstanding info to share in this interview about offering VALUE to other people, while doing smthg that you love. I think that’s so beautiful...it’s not abt focusing on how to make MONEY from doing smthg you love – rather how to offer true VALUE to other people, then the money just flows, like any energy...I love that...you can listen to the interview on Kevin’s site HERE. THANKS, guys, for sharing this lovely info... Steve just finished a 30–Day Juice Feast too – WOW – go Steve :) He had a pretty intense journey with it, mostly emotionally – you can read his recent summary of that on his blog HERE.
ENJOY :)
All love,

With Gratitude

Mmmmmm, so...Thanksgiving tomorrow in the US...for those of you reading this who are celebrating this Holiday – ENJOY :) I hope you’re having a WONDERFUL time with loved ones, yummy delights and muchos gratitude flowing...
This seems to me like an ideal opportunity to share a few things I’m grateful for today...I’ll go for three things, as that’s the number I seem to most resonate with...
I’ll start with CLEARING :) As I mentioned recently, I’m in a major phase of physical clearing right now in my life – I currently have an enormous pile of accumulated stuff ready to give away – clothes, books, ornaments etc etc (including old coins from 30 different countries - hmmmm, what am I going to do with those...?)
I am SOOO excited to release all these things to whoever would love to receive them...and tomorrow night we’re actually going to have a girlie raw food potluck giveaway gathering, to give away/swap with each other whatever seems to want to flow onwards...and it’s a new moon in Sagittarius by the way tomorrow tooooooo – yummy time to connect with our si*stars* and release – I’m looking forward to it – and also to seeing the bare space on the floor that remains when all the stuff has moved on ;) FUN :)

on November the 25th I had:

1 quart water
1.5 cups greeeen juice: celery, cucumber, spinach, kale, parsley, endive, fennel, ginger, lime
1 outrageously enormous and delicious hachiya persimmon
2 cups energy soup with flax crackers and okra on the side, followed by goji/carob yumballs
little mug of rooibus tea

I am REALLY grateful that I’m soon going to be back in the arms of Mr. M, all being well :)
I have a ticket to take me to Mexico this Sunday, where the Monarch and I plan to find a little place to enjoy for the winter, or at least until we hear anything more abt my visa for the US... ;)
I’m visualising sun, beach, hammocks, coconuts, cucumbers, avocadoes, pineapples and papaya, thank you... :) FUN :)
Hmmmm, now where did I put the part of my brain that can speak Spanish...??? ;)

on November the 26th I had:

1 quart water
1.5 cups greeeen juice: celery, cucumber, spinach, kale, parsley, endive, fennel, ginger, lime

OOooOooOoo, I am VERY grateful for this video on Ted.com from school lunch chef Ann Cooper in California. WOW – this woman is AMAZING :) She is PASSSssSssSSsSssionate about feeding kids healthy food and she is making a HUGE impact on the way schools feed children in the Berkeley area. She makes food for over 7000 children a day, getting up at 4am to do so, all from scratch (with a team of course ;) She has brought in salad bars, ‘real cooking’, organic growing, composting, local food sourcing and so much more to the schools she works in...she has SO much info to share in this video – I’d really recommend it...it might not be an all–raw menu ;) – it is a MAJOR improvement though on what most kids seem to eat...
You can see the 20–minute video HERE.

ENJOY and happy waves of gratitude to all... :)
One love,
Angela. xxx
