There's something I've been reflecting on recently that I'd love to share some thoughts about here...I trust that the words come through to help me express this in an understandable way...it is to do with recognising *everyone* in any given situation as conduits for the universal energy/"Spirit", working together in co-creation. Over time it has become very clear to me that all of the "answers"/"clues" in any given situation are unlikely to all be brought forth only through ME, even if I might be personally accustomed to only seeing things from my perspective...
For example, if on a hike with fifteen people, there are at least fifteen different conduits there for the universal energy and the optimal next decision/solution for the highest good of all involved may not necessarily come in through me...if I was on my own, I'd naturally only have my own perspective to draw on (with Spirit's guidance of course)...however, when there are other people present, I have the possibility to open out my reality to embrace and include other inputs too...
I have often felt very moved, for example, to see how someone else in some situation suddenly shares an inspiration, idea or vital piece of information that I would personally have been unlikely to bring forth and which feels like THE missing piece of the puzzle right then in that moment... I feel so much gratitude for the way this tapestry seems to weave itself richly together through moments of interaction...and I love sensing how we are each such individual "funnels" for input into the co-creative game here... Some piece of information that might easily come forth through YOU as an idea or solution in a sticky situation, for example, may not necessarily be something that would be likely to come forth easily through MY being, yet can feel like exactly the "right answer" in that moment... Coming from a background of addiction/"control" issues/isolation etc, it is really rewarding and interesting for me to continually see how it is not necessary for me to feel like I am responsible for having "all the answers" in all situations - others around me are clearly conduits for the universal energy too, fellow Earth-explorers at this time, with their own unique input stream to share...what a blessing it is to dance these dances here together, each one adding their flow as we go and moving along together as a co-creative whole

See Me on The News Again... ;)

Ooooo, I was on the News on TV today in N. California – on the KCRA 3 Channel, who came to film us in Sacramento recently. You can view the piece below – they were NICE :) It’s abt 1.30 mins long – enjoy :)

...and the WINNER of the Raw Food Chia Pet Contest is...

ALRIGHTY, the results of last month’s RawReform Giveaway Contest are in and I’m excited to announce the results of who YOU all think would make the best raw food chia pet...ahEM, drum roll pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaase...

*In 3rd place, with his curly–headed ways, is Mr. Kevin Gianni, with 9% of the votes.

*In 2nd place, with his tousled lion’s mane, is Mr. Matthew Monarch, with 20% of the votes

*...and in 1st place, heading up the raw food chia pet party is the corkscrew–headed bishop of cacao himself, Dr. David Avocado Noni Propolis Phytoplankton Wolfe, with 30% of the votes.

(: YAAAAAAAY :)

I’m delighted to say that the winner of the chia seed goodies is the super–talented Eranah, who even sent in this fantastic mock–up version of what a Wolfie chia head might look like – BEAUTIFUL :) Thanks Eranah – your chia goodies are shimmying their way across the country to you in celebration right now ;)
This was such a fun contest :) Thanks for all the answers sent in, which included an eclectic range of suggestions, from Annmarie Gianni or Jonny 5 (lol) to Ann Wigmore, Anthony the Raw Model, Mike Adams and even...me ;)
My personal favourite suggestion though for a raw chia pet model was sent in by a few people and would be a ‘face–off’ model of the durian eating contest between Mr. M and Wolfie, with a durian between their heads – LOL ;)
I would truly LOVE to see any of these figurines made in pottery, if anyone would love to make them professionally – we could even sell them through our webstores ;) So, let us know if you’re a talented raw potter with a passion for chia pets and we can maybe create some classic memo–raw–bilia for all the raw family ;)

On July the 4th I had:

1 quart water
1 cup coconut water
2 cups ‘Green Potion’ ice cream at Erewhon, followed by shared ‘Cookie Dough Ice Cream’
2 cups water
2 cups hemp milk with cardamom, cinnamon, stevia, maca, pinch of salt
25 chlorella nuts
2 Tbsp bee pollen
2 cups energy soup with 2 flax crackers, little handful of yacon slices
3 cups water

Yesterday I was doing an interview and I really enjoyed one of the questions asked – I thought I’d re–post it here for y’all, if you’d like a little extra insight into the patterns of a Stokes–Monarch:

Q: What is in your purse at this very moment?
A: Great question ;) Now that is going to be quite a long answer ;) lol...I have a rather large, abundant bag of tricks (and I'm not even a mother yet ;)... Here we go: Rescue Remedy, seven sacred stones, my pendulum, my timepiece, lip balm, bottle of water, wallet, camera, my organiser (stuffed full of papers and business cards ;), bag of bee pollen, chlorella tablets, yacon slices, ReddRox powder, hairclips, rubber bands, 2 pegs, Tooth Swish, pair of earplugs, MANY pens, MSM lotion, spoons, binoculars, tissues. Quite an eclectic mix ;)

I like that question...this is actually smthg I generally find very endearing about women – the little bags of STUFF they carry around with them everywhere – I can remember being in rooms full of women at meetings and glancing around with a swelling heart as I noticed the little sac of goodies slumped on the floor next to each Goddess – I love women ;) So, what’s in YOUR bag, baby...?

on July the 5th I had:

1 quart water
3 cups watermelon juice
3 cups coconut water/GreenerGrasses powder/Marine Phytoplankton
2 cups home–made yummy raw elixir ice cream :) Tasted like TOFFEE – so good – see the video of me making it below.
3 cups water
30 chlorella ‘nuts’
3 durian pods and a clamshell of blueberries
1 quart water

Mmmmmm, so I’ve become uber–excited about raw elixir ice creams after we were hanging out with Mr. Truth Calkins at the Tonic Bar in Erewhon...the ice cream I made myself yesterday was OFF.THE.HOOOOOOOK good :) It tasted like TOFFEE and I’m not really sure why yet – I was just adding stuff to the blender and it turned out SOOOOOOOOOOO good :))) Mr. M caught the whole thing on camera, so you can re–create your own ice cream wonders with whatever goodies YOU have around – see the video below and ENJOY :)

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM…

Food Independence Day ;)

Ooooo, looks like there’s some interesting research afoot down at Gabriel Cousen’s Tree of Life Centre... They’re studying the health of vegan, live food babies and they’d love for you to participate in the survey if you have a child aged from birth to five years who is eating a vegan live food diet. The researchers intend to share the results to help support other parents who’d love to raise their children this way.
You can access the survey and read the full participant requirements list by clicking HERE. Please feel free to also pass this info on to anyone else you think may be willing/able to participate – they’re looking for another 100–200 participants at present ;)

Soooo…happy Independence Day tomorrow to all those in the USA ;) I am excited to see that over at the Kitchen Gardeners site, they’ve declared Food Independence Day. The idea is to declare ‘food independence’, by sourcing the ingredients for any holiday meals as ‘locally, sustainably and deliciously as possible’…love it ;)
You can check out the site at FoodIndependenceDay.org, where you can even stick a pin in the map to mark out where YOU will be sourcing local foods tomorrow ;) They also have a cool–looking ‘Why I’m a Victory Grower’ video contest you can enter – YUMMY :)

All brightest blessings to you and those everywhere who are growing food, foraging and connecting directly with gaia :)
All love,
Ms. Sto–Mo. xxx
