Calling those of you with acting backgrounds: I would LOVE to start doing some "community theatre" here in Vilcabamba, even just on a very small scale at first, potentially, with just a handful of actors and minimal staging...and I'm wondering where to find positive, uplifting, beautiful scripts to explore...I have been poking around online and so far everything I've come across seems outside the realm of things I'd be excited to present...I'm sure there must be some wonderful resources out there for inspiring, educational, uplifting plays - if any of you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them - please let us know on angela@rawreform.com - thanks :)))

Time for some more "eco-fashion" hits :) I'd love to share with you three eco-fashion companies currently catching MY eye...

*Yala - I have mentioned these bamboo geniuses before methinks...though most probably under their previous name of "Dreamsacks" - they reinvented themselves, pulled out some new fabulous designs and WOW, I just LOVE these bamboo wonders...their clothes are sooooo soft, flowing, beautiful, feminine, gorgeous...I just received some new goodies from them last week and have been pretty much living in them since - love, love, love their stuff - check them out at http://www.yaladesigns.com.

*Gaia Conceptions - WOW, I didn't order anything from this stunning line yet, however, given the opportunity I think I'd snap up at least one of everything - these items just oooooooze love, care, attention, beauty, femininity, gorgeousness, to me at least ;) They look extremely well made, with beautiful eco-fabrics and colours - an absolutely delightful collection - check them out at http://www.gaiaconceptions.com

*Conscious Clothing - the name says it all...I'm always on the look-out on Etsy and other places online for beautiful "eco-friendly" items and this company kept catching my eye on a recent Etsy exploration - simple, well-crafted, elegant, funky pieces of wearable art - enjoy diving into their collection over at http://www.etsy.com/shop/consciousclothing.


...and if YOU or someone you know has another "eco-friendly" clothing company or business you'd love to let us know about, just email angela@rawreform.com and we'll check it out - thanks ;)))


All blessings of joy and upliftment,

on July the 2nd I loved:

1 quart water
2 cups greeeeen juice mixed with pineapple juice
2 cups watermelon/cantaloupe juice :)
2 tbsp bee pollen
½ a papaya
2 cups greeeeen juice mixed with pineapple juice
Yummmmy shared meal with Mr. M of cucumber/jicama salad stuffed into nori sheets, followed by a hand-stirred yumpot of hazelnut butter, coconut nectar, vanilla and chocolate extracts :)

LOVE this little idea that came in via Hazelden's daily "Gift for Today" emails recently...

"We always think before we act, 

even if the thinking has become automatic."

Wow. So simple and rings so true to me... Those of us with 'addiction' backgrounds (which, from my perspective, actually seems to include the majority of people in 'Western' cultures, in some way or another...) might be able to identify with this pattern...

Acting out on addictions (alcohol, food, shopping, cigarettes, gambling etc) may become so automatic that we stop even NOTICING the thought prior to the action...the pattern has been played out so many times that we don't even witness the thought process, yet it IS there...and it may offer even a split-second of GRACE, during which we can choose to not act out the pattern once again, if that is what we truly want...
I hope that this little quote-ette helps to offer extra hope to anyone dealing with current active addictions, or for those who love someone caught in this flow...may we all acknowledge how self-destructive and abusive these addiction patterns usually are and how much they indicate low self-love...there are SO many other ways to help fill that gap within than with a cigarette, chunk of chocolate cake or glass of wine...you ARE loveable, loving and loved :)))

All love,
Angelalalalallaaaaaaaaaa. xxx
