Raising Raw *Puppies* ;)

OMGoddess, the Monarch tribe keeps on expanding - we just received two tiny puppies into our fold in the last week, bringing our four-legged population to 6 horses and 2 puppies now ;) The puppies are two 9-week old brothers called Baloo and Gypsy Boots, some kind of black-lab mix it seems and they are ridiculously gorgeous and loveable :)
Everyone seems to be getting on well so far, though the horses were a little apprehensive about the sudden appearance of two carnivores at their home... ;) Personally I am amazed how much I'm learning from these little guys already - extra-present presence, compassion, love, gratitude all flowing... ;) Here are some pictures from the day when the little pups arrived:

We are so blessed ;)

On March the 21st I was blessed with:

1 quart water
cup of orange juice
3 cups watermelon juice
little fruit salad of strawberries, banana and mango
shared cucumber salad with Mr. M; salad stuffed into nori sheets or spread on raw "bread" with a little Sea Clear and fresh almond butter, followed by a few pruuuuuunes
mug of herbal tea
water of a young coconut

Good news today for anyone who isn't able to be at the Longevity Now Conference in person in April - you can now watch the whole thing by live webcast and then watch the playbacks for free for a full three months after the event - wow, it's like being at the event without being at the event - much more chillaxed ;) ...and there's currently a $50 discount on the full four day webcast package, valid until March the 28th... You can check out the details and get signed up for this webcast service HERE.

35 chlorella tablets
shared cucumber salad with Mr. M; salad stuffed into nori sheets or spread on raw "bread" with a little Sea Clear and fresh almond butter, followed by a few pruuuuuunes

We have a very fun radio interview set up for later today - our dear friend Kate Magic is going to be "Demystifying Unusual Raw Foods" for us - have you ever wondered what to do with chia seeds, lucuma, Etherium Gold or shilajit? Well wonder no more ;) Ms. Magic shall help bring us clarity about all these foods and more on this call that starts at 6pm Eastern, 3pm Pacific - get the call details over at http://www.TheRawFoodWorldRadioShow.com and enjoy :)

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 ;)

on December the 29th I had:

1 quart water
2 cups greeeeen juice: tatsoi, lettuces, dandelion, spinach, kale, lime
2 cups energy soup with kale chips on the side, followed by a wedge of homemade raw coconut ice cream
2 cups water
water of 2 young coconuts
3 tbsp Sproutein powder
2 cups energy soup with kale chips on the side, followed by a hand–blended yumpot of hemp butter, lucuma powder, carob powder, maca, cinnamon, vanilla, stevia, water
2 cups water

If not, you can boogie on over to bestofraw.net and vote NOW – the winners will be announced live on the Raw Inspirations radio show from 7pm tomorrow evening – New Year’s Eve – a fun way to celebrate the changing of the years, with the raw family tribe ;)

on December the 30th I had:

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

There were two ‘mainstream’ news reports about food that interested me recently...

The first is about a Federal Judge in the US who is eating raw now, because he has cancer – GREAT to know he’s on such a healing path :) You can read all about his experiences HERE.

The other story that caught my eye…well, this one was over on NaturalNews.com actually, so not really THAT ‘mainstream’ at all ;) LOL – it is masquerading in that vein though and doing a pretty uncanny job of it, in my opinion...treat yourself to a giggle over HERE, where you can learn more about wearable feed–bags for humans... ;)

Dancing into our Inner Circles...

Oooooo, we’ve got a fun new play area to share with you: The ‘Inner Circle’.
Those of you who are already familiar with the work of Mr. and Mrs. Gianni may know that they have set up a lovely health community subscription site called ‘The Inner Circle’. It already has over 1000 active members and as of now, myself and the Monarch are going to be playing in there too, regularly ;) We’re going to be giving talks once a month, as well as answering questions, posting exclusive videos and possibly even whistling some of your favourite songs (if you ask nicely ;).
As an introductory offer to come and play in this shiny new sandpit, you can sign up for the quirky figure of just $7.77 (that’s abt £5 for those of you in the UK – bargain ;) and you will receive this raw–markable package deal:

That coupon will ALWAYS work, meaning that you will get 12% off ALL purchases forevermore, if you stick around ;) The monthly membership fee for the Inner Circle service is just $9.97 a month, which could easily pay for itself with the savings you’d enjoy at TheRawFoodWorld.

on December the 19th I had:

1 quart water
water of 2 young coconuts, 2 tbsp sproutein powder
2 cups energy soup with kale chips and snap peas on the side, followed by a bowl of hand–blended yum: almond butter, maca, lucuma powder, carob powder, goji berries
little mug of spicy tea
3 cups water
3 cups veggie juice: celery, parsley, dandelion, fennel, carrots with greens, ginger
2 cups energy soup with kale chips and okra on the side, followed by a bowl of hand–blended yum: almond butter, maca, lucuma powder, carob powder, goji berries
2 cups water

I am caretaking/rehabilitating 2 tiny, month–old puppies and their mum ‘Sandy’ at the moment. They could use a LOT of love right now. They’ve been with me a few days now and I wasn’t actually sure they’d make it through the night last night – I’m relieved that they’re still here today though and they seem to be getting stronger... It seems to have been rather a rough ride for them all so far in this dimension – we’re doing our best to help them to heal now though. If you feel drawn to send love, light and healing towards these three beautiful young canine friends, please do...yesterday was the toughest day so far with them and I sensed there was about a 60% chance they’d make it through the night. Amidst this somewhat bleak situation, a song came onto my iTunes to remind me with sweet lyrics that ‘the greatest gift of life is to know love’...and so that’s the main thing we’re channeling to these little beings right now – love, love, LOVE and more LOVE...and I sense they’re really feeling it...they seem to be getting stronger...and I am so grateful for that. So, please do add your love and blessings for their health and well–being into the Universal Flow, if you are drawn...it will be much appreciated...
Thank you.
