on August the 29th I appeciated:

1 quart water
2 cups greeeeeeen juice

decadent picnic with Mr. M featuring frozen durian and donut holes from Au Lac - WOW ;)
3 cups water

One reader, Kristina, recently sent me *such* a sweet message about her experiences reading the "Anastasia" book that I asked if I could share her message here - she agreed...so here we go:

"I ordered the Anastasia book from your 32% off special recently (thank you for that financial gift) and began reading it a few days ago. I knew it would affect me because you speak of it so often with such inspiring energy, and it truly is having an affect on me. Not the kind I thought though. I thought I would read it jubilantly and delight in every word. But I find it puts me in quiet contemplation of many things on many levels and it seems almost as if an energetic change is happening on a vibrational level that I won't fully understand for many weeks, months or even years. I find that it makes me more centered in my meditations which is something I have been striving for on my own for a while and not achieved.
Well, I just wanted to share this with you. I will pass the book onto others and hopefully they will get the benefit that I am and we can all share a better connection and experience life in more profound ways.
 Many Blessings to You and Matt.
  LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
  Kristina

NICE...I love this ;) Thanks for sharing, Kristina ;) ...and if *you*, dear reader, have also been contemplating reading the Anastasia book(s), maybe now is the time to dive in and start exploring - profound shifts may await you ;) We have the whole series of these remarkable books available HERE...enjoy ;)

Blessings and best of all,
Claudia"

THANKS Claudia, for sharing your vision - your DVD is on the way to you and we do so hope you choose to honour your intention to send in some pics and dance for your beloved...maybe you'll even record a YouTube video of the dancing for us all to enjoy and learn from - have fun :)))

I received such a beautiful message today from one reader, Mimi that I felt moved to share it here with you...this, to me, TOTALLY exemplifies the power of the 'ripple effect' that we can all help to co-create when we share our stories and truths to help uplift others...

"It's been one year since I heard the life-altering words you spoke at Erewhon. You changed my life (and probably saved it). I will never be able to thank you enough. I now celebrate July 2nd as my birthday, as that is when I feel I experienced a rebirth. Thanks for delivering me into this new life...

Mimi"

Wow...beautiful, thanks so much for sharing, Mimi...and may we all continue to let our little lights shine, no matter what kinds of 'opposition' we may perceive in our vicinities - we have so much to share and can help so many...we are the change... ;)

All love to you all :)

Wanna Help Me Tell Oprah Abt Raw...??? ;)

Dear lovenuggets, I am on a mission. I'd love to share my story with Oprah Winfrey on her TV Show and I would value your input on this matter :)

I am currently in the process of putting together a package of goodies to send Oprah's team to help share my story. One of the things I intend to send is a proposed show outline of things we could cover in a programme, if they'd love to have me as a guest ;) I would love to hear ideas from y'all about this: what do you think would make up a great show on raw foods/weight loss/emotional eating? Suggested conversation topics? Food demos? Other segment ideas?

What do you feel would best help the audience relate to the idea of 'natural' weight loss, recovery from emotional eating, slowly including more raw foods, stepping away from highly processed/refined items and so on?

That is one way you could help with this project. The other would be testimonials. I'd love to send Oprah a yummy little stack of testimonials of people whose lives have shifted since going raw, especially if that involves weight release/recovery from emotional eating/inspiration from my story/pics/videos/blog etc. Testimonials can be just a sentence or two - they don't need to be long ;)

If you have something along these lines you'd love to share, please email it to me at angela@rawreform.com and we'll collect them up for Queen O ;) If you're feeling especially inspired, you could also even go to the Oprah site and fill in the form HERE suggesting that they have me as a guest and why (perhaps in the 'self-help' or 'health' categories?) ;) That would be very much appreciated...

THANK YOU in advance to any of you who feel the flow to help out with this intention – let's see how it unfolds ;)

Here's an inspiring little quote that came in recently via the ever–lovely PhilosophersNotes.com...if you're perhaps sensing you're 'waaaaaay too stuck' in old habits and patterns to make significant shifts in YOUR life and reality, here is a great snippet from Dan Millman about building new habits:

“This initiatory period of change may last from one to six weeks, or even longer. Unless the desire to change remains strong, body and mind tend to return to old, familiar patterns. It takes time--from three to six months--for old habits to become obsolete. By the end of that time, you’ll have adapted to a new pattern. In a sense, you’ll have found a new way of life.” ~ Dan Millman from Body Mind Mastery

I loved reading that...so good to be reminded that it can take time for new habits to feel established, especially if they're replacing habits we have been bouncing around for decades... ;)

Enjoy the journeys, dear ones...

All love,
Ms. Sto-Mo. xxx

on October the 29th I had:

1 quart water
little mug of rose tea
2 cups veggie juice: celery, cucumber, spinach, kale, beetroot, carrots, ginger
2 cups energy soup with flax crackers and pistachio butter on the side, followed by yum-balls made by the Monarch (containing lucuma, chia, gojis, pine nut butter and maca)
little cup of spicy tea
3 cups water
2 OUTRAGEOUS persimmons
1.5 cups veggie juice: celery, cucumber, spinach, kale, beetroot, carrots, ginger
bowl of grawnola from Shellbel
3 cups water

I felt moved to share some of the messages today that have been coming in from one reader – Cindy – who set out on a raw journey after seeing the CNN report on my weight loss on September the 23rd. In just a MONTH, Cindy has already released 20LBS by adopting a raw lifestyle and she has been dropping us emails too along the way – here are some recent snippets from the last few days that I felt to share – I think she has such a lovely, direct way of sharing her passion for this new way of life:

“I'm now 19#'s lighter this morning since receiving your weight loss testimony of eating raw food and I just can't wait to see another 100 plus pounds gone. It hasn't been yet a month. Just the other day a friend of mine told me I was shrinking. I did not know that anyone would even notice (and I don't care really, I care that I notice) but I was delightfully surprised. I thought I would have to show a marked amount of weight loss before it was noticeable to even myself.
I'm excited! If this is how quickly the weight comes off, then wow...I will be at my happy body weight in no time. A wonderful comment I heard and keep in mind is that the body will take itself to it's proper place when we eat the right foods for our body. No need to count calories and measure food. We just eat what nature intended for our bodies, and our bodies will adjust and reach "it's" proper weight.
This wonderful feeling of peace and calm and clarity is too hard to explain unless one has experienced it. I thought I would have to wait until the majority of my weight was released to enjoy this sensation, but it wasn't so...I felt it almost immediately as if it were some magic pill. And nature is in itself magic to me so to speak. The answer to this feeling of freedom from garbage food, is the food from nature.
Just...thanks so very much for all that you do, and for all that you share to make this program a possibility for me for life. I can't imagine going back to the way I used to feel. And if losing 20 lbs. in a month can make me feel this great, I can't even imagine how losing the additional 100 will make me feel. I'm sure it will get better...and along the path, I am sure to feel the effects of detox. It's okay. Much better than spending the rest of my life eating SAD.
How can an overweight Mama like me feel as light as a feather? I don't know. But, I feel it little by little, day by day...and I look forward to each new morning and bask in it's newness and my newness as well. You have helped me to save my life! Your article on CNN was timely and I know that I for one have been blessed by it as I am sure many, many others have. In order to keep myself motivated, I read your story every week or so, just so I know that I will get there soon enough.
Thanks ever so much!!!
With sincere gratitude,"
Cindy

WOW – CONGRATS, Cindy, thanks for sharing and ALL blessings to you for your journey onwards :)


on October the 30th I had:

1 quart water
little mug of spicy tea
shot of wheatgrass/ginger/lime juice
2 YUMMERS persimmons and 3 figs
little mug of spicy tea
3 cups water
2 cups energy soup with flax crackers and okra on the side, followed by a few yum-balls made by the Monarch (containing lucuma, chia, gojis, pine nut butter and maca)
3 cups water
2 cups veggie juice: celery, cucumber, parsley, spinach, beetroot, kale, Jerusalem artichoke, carrot, ginger
2 cups water

I had my first persimmons of the season yesterday. Oh My GODDDDDDDESSSSSSSSS...are these things actually still LEGAL? Lol…how BLESSED we are that mama nature is SO kind to us, that she brought forth a creation as lusciously, outrageously, seductively sweet and delicious as the persimmon... If you’re reading this and wondering what I’m talking about, then please be sure next time you’re near a fruit seller, to pick up at least one or two RIPE specimens of these nuggets of pure YUMMM, straight from nature (I would be cautious though, personally, eating more than one or two of these yummies at a time – they feel VERY sugary to me ;)
N.B. these fruits also go by the name of ‘Sharon Fruit’ in some places too... I remember the first time I ever had a persimmon. I was visiting the intentional/spiritual community Damanhur in Italy, back in the autumn of 2004. I had just quit the waitressing job I’d been doing in a mainstream café in Iceland, so that I could concentrate on writing my first book about raw foods. I’d been on a raw path for 2.5 years by then and released around 160lbs of excess weight. A fellow visitor at the Damanhur centre had a pack of persimmons with him (‘kaki’ in Italian, I believe). I’d never seen this kind of fruit before and he offered me one to try. It was LOVE at first bite...unbelievable...this is one of those foods that when I eat it, I just cannot fathom why anyone would want to eat packaged/processed cakes/candies and so on, when they could eat foods like these, straight from nature...lol ;) Well, pesky processed-food-addictions aside, I hope you get to enjoy some of these beautiful creations this season, if they’re hanging out in your vicinity...ENJOY :) (Oh, and be sure to BRUSH YOUR TEETH afterwards ;)

MUAAHHH,
All love,

Make Raw Food Mainstream... ;)

WOW – this is my 350th blog post here :O oOoOoOooo lalalalalalaaaaaa...what a joy it is to share...
By way of a jolly little celebration, I uncharacteristically donned some make up ;) My wonderful host here in Iceland informed me that Ann Wigmore used to use beetroot (beet) as her lipstick – I just HAD to try ;) LOL – LOVE it...this pic is what I looked like with beetroot-stained pink smackers...I love the fact that the wheatgrass trays managed a cameo appearance in the corner of the pic too – that was totally unintentional – just vibing with the Wigster ;) Apparently she used to use the cut beetroot on her cheeks too, as blusher ;) Hmmmm, more experiments for next time...

on July the 3rd I had:

1 quart water
mug of pleasure tea
1.5 cups green juice: cucumber, celery, lettuce, spinach, fennel, ginger, tatsoi, bok choi
plate of assorted leftovers: a stuffed nori roll, pine-nut pesto, salad, cauliflower ‘rice’
3 cups water
1 cup water with lemon juice
shot of sweeeeeet wheatgrass juice
2 more leftover stuffed nori rolls, followed by a little rammikin bowl of yummy almond/maca/lucuma/cinnamon smoothie
mug of ‘love’ tea
2 cups water

OooOooooooo next very ecstatic announcement of the day is that Ms. Shazzle-Dazzle has launched a simply splendid free new e-book on her site :) It is called ‘Raw Britannia’ and is part of her ongoing campaign to ‘make raw mainstream’. I am VERY excited about the impact this book can potentially have to spread the raw message throughout the UK and beyond...
It is a free e-book that you can print out and then take to any local restaurants in your area that you think might be open to serving more raw dishes. It contains basic info on WHY people choose to eat raw, along with a selection of really easy, delicious recipes, so the restaurants can start to prepare raw dishes. EXCITING :) The recipes are really simple – no complicated ingredients – and the photography is BEAUTIFUL throughout – presenting raw food as fresh, vibrant and appealing :)
You can download the book from HERE, print it out, then get your walking shoes on for a bouncy trot round town, spreading the good message ;) Please also feel free to pass on this info to anyone you think may be interested – together we can all take action to manifest a brighter raw reality :)
(Check out the super-cool mugs, pens and other ‘Raw Britannia’ accessories she has on offer too...LOVE it ;)

The final yum-pot of the day to dip into is the uber-exciting announcement from Mr. Philip McCluskey that he is compiling a ‘testimonial’ book of fabulous raw weight loss stories :) He’s looking for inspiring stories and pics to share in this new volume – here’s what he wrote about this project on his blog:

“A Picture Speaks a Thousand Words
This is the first book of its kind. Not a ‘how-to’, nor a collection of recipes, just pure inspiration. We are looking for your most awe-inspiring before and after photos, along with a one page description of your journey. We know that these photos will be an inspiration to everyone; those new to raw, as well as those who have been on this path longer.

So... what are you waiting for?
Send no more than four (4) medium resolution before and after photos, along with your before/after weights, dates for the photos and the page-long description of your raw journey. If you're chosen to be in the book we will contact you for high resolution pictures later. The deadline for submissions is July 31st, 2008. You can send your emails to philip@lovingraw.com.”

ENJOY :)
All love,
Ms. Stokes. xxx
