Feral Phone Woman on Facebook... ;)

Hmmmmm…so…I’m still in Canada…and it’s starting to get cold here – there was thick frost the last few mornings – a definite sign for me that it’s time to shimmy on out ;) …and indeed, I was due to be in Australia by now…and yet…and yet…and…yet…the latest thrilling installment of visa blahblah intervened and so here I still am…ho-hummmmmmm…off to OZ next weekend now instead and in the meantime, well, it is giving me wonderful opportunity to get on with masses of writing for my new book, which I’m so excited about and can currently be found squeaking about enthusiastically on the phone, daily…(see picture above as evidence ;) I am feeling SO immensely blessed at the technology we have available to stay in contact with loved ones these days. Through Skype video-conferencing, I get to ‘be’ with Matt every day, even if he’s thousands of miles away down there in the States…in the last few days I’ve been to two lectures with him, met the guests at his magnificent raw ice cream party and today even got to join in on the GORGEOUS women’s singing circle I used to sing with back there in California…hmmmmmm…I am so grateful that I am able to participate in this way – and for FREE – Skype is so amazing…if you haven’t ever checked it out, I’d highly recommend it…you can sign up for free Skype calls HERE.

On October the 28th I had:

1 quart water
3 cups alfalfa/romaine/spinach/celery/carrot/ginger
2 cups water
bowl of sea spaghetti mixed with pumpkin seed butter, salt and hemp seed
piece of raw chocolate/cinnamon shortbread cake. Base – mixture of ground almonds, raw honey, lucuma powder and cinnamon. Frosting – coconut oil mixed with raw honey and cacao powder. Yummmm ;)
1 quart water
1 quart celery/carrot/alfalfa juice
1 persimmon
3 cups water

I have been dancing like a feral woman the last few days…lol…I am in LOVE with ecstatic dancing bliss…as I said, it’s kind of cold and rainy too here at the moment, so, rather than go out for my usual daily jog, I’ve been cranking up the toooooons and dancing like a banshee in the living room. I LOVE IT. It feels sooooooo immensely liberating and energising for my whole body – I let it move as it wants to, going with the flow – it is deeply meditative for me and I feel totally at one with spirit and connected. It’s an ecstatic state for me – it feels so good that at times I almost can’t handle it, as my body shakes and jostles and spins and grinds as it likes, releasing tension, un-stiffening joints, freeing endorphins…sometimes the movements surprise even me – I’ll see a reflection of myself and am amazed I can even move like that…ahhhhhhh…I absolutely recommend putting on some bumpin’ music and going wild in your living room – yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-HAH :)))

on October the 29th I had:

3 cups water
1 cup warm water with lemon
1 quart celery/carrot/ginger/apple juice
bowl of blended bananas mixed with ground almonds, ground flax seed, maca, cinnamon, mulberries and pumpkin seeds
1 cup water
bowl of sea spaghetti seaweed mixed with hemp seed butter, salt, sliced sundried tomatoes, grated carrot and grated sunchoke
2 cups water
1 Asian pear
2 cups water
1 quart cucumber/cilantro/spinach/romaine/carrot/sunchoke juice
2 cups water

Ok, I finally did it…I let go into the flow and joined Facebook ;) The invitations to join have been popping up repeatedly in the last months and my resistance finally snapped ;) You can see my page HERE…it seems nice to me – much more user-friendly than MySpace, from my POV…I also took this opportunity to create a new page on the RawReform website, which gathers together all the places on the internet where you can find RawReform, web-wide, on portals like these – you can see that new page HERE… Enjoy ;)

The Golden Chopsticks...

I’ve had such a nice weekend being ‘virtually present’ at the Raw Spirit Fest :) I feel so blessed. Matt and I had live video chat set up with our webcams, through Skype – I got to chat with many people who visited our booth. On Saturday, Mr. Monarch took me on a ‘walk’ around the grounds and I even got to do some virtual shopping for new eco-clothes ;) Today I ‘sat in’ on his lecture and interacted a bit with the audience, answering questions on emotional issues, weight loss and thyroid conditions. It’s been wonderful to have the opportunity to feel part of the celebrations and connect with so many vibrant friends, even if I couldn’t be there physically, in person… Mr. Monarch also apparently received an award there this evening on my behalf…I didn’t get all the details yet, but it seems I was awarded “The Golden Chopsticks” award for something like being ‘Up and Coming’ in the Raw Food Movement ;) Sweet ;)

on October the 13th I had:

1.5 litres water
800ml green juice with carrot
hemp seed/flax oil/Celtic sea salt mix with nori, dulse, flax crackers and pumpkin seed butter
1 litre water
1 dragon fruit
1 litre celery/zucchini/carrot juice
bowl of chia soaked in blended banana and mango, with goji berries, cinnamon and maca
1.5 litres water

NEWS FLASH: Next Saturday – Oct 20th - I’ll be hopping across the water to give a talk in Victoria, BC. The event starts at 6.30pm in the ‘Green Cuisine’ Restaurant, #5-560 Johnson Street, (Market Square), Victoria. For more info, contact sylver1@shaw.ca. Hope to see you there if you’re in the area ;)

fresh tomato/avocado/hemp seed/salt dip with homemade flax crackers and dulse

bowl of longans
800ml celery/romaine/pineapple juice (looooong time since I had pineapple in a juice…brings back memories of Juice Feasting/Costa Rica for me ;)
bowl of frozen banana blended with soaked dried figs (plus fig soak water), cinnamon, maca and hemp seed butter, swirled with goji berries for chew-ability
1 litre water

I’ve been listening to a lot of old Mariah Carey recordings lately…WOW…her voice absolutely BLOWS ME AWAY…I used to actually be quite obsessed with her music as a young teen…one of my best friends used to say I was like a ‘musical nazi’ as I only ever wanted to hear Mariah's music...lol ;) I think I was just totally captivated by her voice…I once saw an interview with her where it said she had a vocal range over…was it 8 octaves…??? There are times when she sings notes so high SHE SOUNDS LIKE A DOLPHIN to me or a dog whistle or something…lol…absolutely phenomenal…I don’t follow TV/magazine/media stuff anymore, so don’t know much abt her recent years, other than it seems things ‘fell apart’ a bit for her at some point…well, much love her way…check out this live YouTube version of ‘Emotions’ from…years ago…look at the SIZE of her hair too :O ...quite remarkable… ;)

'Virtually' there... :)

MmmmmmMmmMMmmmMMmm :) I’m SO happy…Mr Monarch being the light-worker of joy and gorgeousness that he is, rigged it up today so that I could speak directly with Skype through our computer webcams to anyone at his booth at Raw Spirit Fest – it’s like I’m ‘virtually’ there – I love it :) I caught up with many old friends and met many more lovely new raw peoples too…it was great fun, seeing it all play out on our little video screens :) Skype at least knows no borders ;) Someone actually wrote to me today asking if there is a ‘live feed’ from Raw Spirit available anywhere…hmmmm, well, not that I know of, other than the one I got to play through today ;) GREAT idea though – we can suggest it for next year…David Rain speaks at the festie in place of me tomorrow afternoon at 4.30, on the juicy subject of...Juice Feasting ;)

on October the 11th I had:

1 litre water
800ml green juice with carrot
bowl of durian blended with coconut meat and cinnamon, with dried mulberries :)
300ml water

500ml water
500ml STRONG green juice with carrot (celery, romaine, spinach, black radish, dandelion, ginger)
bowl of blended banana with maca and cinnamon, swirled with ‘buckwheaties’, pumpkin seeds and raisins (YUMM…)
1 litre water

Errrrm, I seem to have stopped eating vegetables…lol…did anyone else notice that? I seem to be totally living that phrase at the moment of ‘drinking your vegetables and eating your fruit’. Salads and so on just do not appeal to me at all. I only seem to be DRINKING vegetables as juice…then eating little meals of either straight fruit, seaweeds or fats…hmmmm, curious…I don’t mind though, it seems to be working just fine for me; I feel no different than usual… I really feel we are all our own little experimenters and explorers with our raw lifestyles…and mine right now seems to be leading me in the direction of only liquid veggies…ok, so be it ;)

on October the 12th I had:

1.2 litres water
1 litre green juice with carrot
nori wraps with hemp seed/flax oil/Celtic seasalt mixture, with flax crackers, dulse and pumpkin seed butter
1 litre water
2 persimmons
box of longans (I am LOVING longans…caramelly, peppery…gorgeous…)
500ml green juice with carrot
bowl of blended banana with maca and cinnamon, swirled with ‘buckwheaties’, pumpkin seeds and raisins
1 litre water
