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:

Raw Almond Update: well, well, well...it seeeeeems that potentially things could shift again soon for the almond growers in California... The farmers won an appeal court victory against the decision to pasteurise all California almonds...and the Cornucopia Institute will soon be presenting evidence on behalf of the almond growers, including taking to court a petition with over 26,000 people worldwide asking to be able to purchase California raw almonds again... The Cornucopia Institute would LOVE for even more people to sign this petition for food freedom, to help make their case even stronger as they go back to court - if you haven't already signed this petition and would love to, just click HERE and get on board - it takes less than a minute to add your voice and be heard - THANKS :)

Some words of wisdom from the ever-supportive daily "Gift for Today" emails from Hazelden...

"In recovery, we learn to focus on solving our problems. First, we make certain the problem is our problem. If it isn't, our problem is establishing boundaries. Then we seek the best solution. This may mean setting a goal, asking for help, gathering more information, taking an action, or letting go.

Face and solve today's problems. Don't worry needlessly about tomorrow's problems, because when they appear, we'll have the resources necessary to solve them."

LOVE it, thanks Hazelden :)

All love,

Three Goddess Event Offerings...

Today I would love to let you know about a few different gatherings being organised and offered by three goddesses who I love: Elena Tonetti, Kate Magic and Little Grandmother :)

First up: Elena Tonetti's "Birth Into Being" workshops...many of you know that we LOVE the message Elena is sharing in the world about gentle birthing and conscious parenting...(and before we get another mass of emails again, no I am NOT pregnant... ;)
Elena is the creator of the outstanding "Birth As We Know It" documentary and next month she will be offering her live "Birthshops" in California, starting November the 19th. There are three ways you can participate: for two days, for four days or for the whole 10 day programme, which is the full "Apprenticeship" training. The Apprenticeship training is only offered once a year in the USA, sooooo...catch Elena while you can if this field is of interest to you...you may remember that Mr. M and I attended a two-day gathering with Elena last year - it was a profoundly beautiful and rich experience :) For more deets on these Birthshops and to reserve spaces, you can visit Elena's events page HERE and scroll down to the November 2010 section...ENJOY :)

Next up: magical raw si*star* Kate Magic over in the UK would love to let y'all know that she is organising a Raw Chocolate Roller Disco on November the 19th in London ;) lol - LOVE it ;)
This one-night-only event will be held at a roller disco venue near London Bridge and every visitor will receive raw chocolate, raw cake and yummy drinks as part of the entry fee...there will be funky tunes to set the scene, marshals to assist beginners and surely LOTS of giggles galore - I'd be there with bell-tousled-rainbow-legwarmers on in a flash, if I were on the other side of the Atlantic ;)
For now I'll leave it up to all you kids on the right of the pond to enjoy this event :) You can see all the details and book tickets HERE...


on October the 14th I was blissed with:

In the last week before we left the USA, Mr. Monarch and myself immersed ourselves into a life-shifting weekend workshop in New Mexico with wisdom-keeper shaman Little Grandmother, along with our lovely managers of TheRawFoodWorld, Zack and Alara.
I have written here quite a few times before about how much I appreciate the message that Little Grandmother (Kiesha Crowther) is sharing...so it was absolutely beautiful to be able to connect with her in person and absorb her positive, uplifting, motivating visions for the times we are currently living in and also headed towards...she foresees so much joy and liberation as we keep on shifting forwards through 2012 and beyond - I like that resonance :)
So many people at the gathering were moved repeatedly to tears of joy and release, hearing her stories and visions...it was a very deep-rooted, intense experience. Little Grandmother speaks with such clarity, sincerity, humility and grace - I love what she is sharing...one of my favourite aspects of what she shares is the idea that "it is none of my business what anyone else thinks of me". :) :) :)

On the second day of the workshop, we stood in sacred ceremony as a group on tribal grounds, surrounding a medicine wheel with an ancient healing crystal at the centre. We shared a healing ceremony for the sacred feminine and Little Grandmother also told each member of the group the Animal Totem that she saw accompanying them...(fyi, Mr. M is apparently a lemur and I am a mustang :)))
We took this group photo with Kiesha as we were floating out at the end of the weekend...we had such a wonderful time connecting with the Tribe of Many Colors and I would thoroughly recommend gifting yourself the experience of sharing some time with Kiesha if the opportunity ever seems to come up for you...her website is HERE, so you can check out her events schedule there...plus I would highly recommend watching some of her online interviews/talks if you haven't already seen them - see HERE for example to get started...
ENJOY :)

At a time when many people seem to be focused on the ash flow from Iceland, perhaps you'd enjoy tuning in to some yummy creative Icelandic flow instead... Our dear friend Kate Magic did a very sweet little interview in her Bubble recently with some other dear friends of ours', Jonsi and Alex from Iceland :) LOVE it :) ...and listening to that led me on the trail to viewing some raw recipe videos the guys put up on their site recently over at www.JonsiandAlex.com - very cool, check out how to make "Macadamia Monster Mash", "Raw Strawberry Pie" and "Nammi Nammi" balls...they even have a *gorgeous* free raw recipe book you can download, full of love, called the "Good Heart Recipe Book" - I've been in love with the work of these guys ever since a friend mentioned Sigur Ros to me back in the late '90s at university...she said smthg along the lines of '...these guys make strange ethereal music with Icelandic and nonsense words - I think you'll like it...' and indeed I did and indeed I DO still love these guys and all their beautiful creative flow...enjoy :)))

Feelings First + Win Free Tickets to Mike Adams' Conference in California :)

A phrase that really resonates for me was dropped into my head a few days ago: "Feelings First". I don't know if this is used often elsewhere or by other people...it really resonated for me when it came though...to honour the importance of feelings in any given situation - that's what comes first - my feelings, your feelings, the feelings of those around us...it doesn't matter how much money is at stake, the potential gains, or how much you might want to do something for some set reason...if the feelings aren't flowing in a way that feels optimal, then maybe another path might be a wiser choice...
For example, let's say that in a couple, one partner really wants to do some certain activity right now, like doing the laundry or washing the car...and the other person is not feeling good, for some reason. In my experience, it is much wiser to address the feelings first...clear the emotional block and then usually things can flow on much more easily from there...whereas if there is a choice instead to try to bypass the feelings and push on with the other activities, whatever they are, the uncleared feelings may stagnate, infest, get more complex and even maybe explode at some other point. The washing can wait - as much as you might want to do it right now, it will still be there in 10 minutes or so and how much lovelier it feels to proceed in an atmosphere of clear, healthy emotional resonance, rather than with the feeling that there is a thorn in the shared emotional bubble...you might think that stopping your intended flow to clear the emotional field is going to 'slow you down' in some way, yet in my experience the opposite is usually true overall - taking the time to clear the air first empowers a much more loving, productive space to unfold from there, with everyone feeling good...so...simply put: "Feelings First" :)

Yesterday was International Women's Day and also saw the start of the epic WISH Summit :) In celebration of all things Goddess, I wrote up a little Si*Star* Appreciation piece in my newsletter - here it is for those of you who don't see my newsletters:

I would love to extend some glowing gratitude to some of the si*stars* out there who have had a deep and profound influence on my life and who are really out there movin' and shakin' in this world... :)
There was a point in my life around 6 or 7 years ago where I felt a really big --g--a--p-- in my reality in terms of having women around me to connect to, feel inspired by, learn from and so on...I mentioned this to the Universe and duly my reality started to be populated with all manner of inspiring Goddesses, I'm delighted to say :)
I want to 'big up' a few of these lovely laydees here...there are of course many more women who have touched my life and continue to do so...some may not be as publicly 'visible' as others though ;) Please enjoy and explore these ten divine Goddess energies (in no particular order):

*Solla...what would life be without a giggling Icelandic raw fairy chef as an accomplice? ;) Solla lives in faith, flow and love perhaps more than anyone else I know - she is love in action...always smiling, kind, sweet, adaptive, with so much compassion and heartspace. She also happens to make truly ext-RAW-dinary raw food... ;) A wonderful role model...

*Kate Magic...aaaaahhhh, sweet little Ms. Magic ;) Another Goddess with a perma-grin, total trust in the Universal flow and a heart filled with rainbows and unicorns ;) Kate likes to put shiny stickers on things, take photos, make outstanding raw food, giggle and DJ. Living with Kate took my life to a WHOLE new level of acceptance and flow... :)

*Shazzie...Shazzle-Dazzle takes the wonderful saying "Well-behaved Women Rarely Make History" to the extreme ;) Shazzie is sequins and stardust, explosions and oversized cucumbers, duriasm and Universal bellows of laughter...she is also a highly savvy business-woman, mother, raw chef, artist and inspired rawquarian ext-raw-dinaire...dynamite ;)

*Jinjee...sweet sister Jinjee has been inspiring me every day for years via the little daily email blasts she sends out. Thoughtful, caring, gentle, open, flowing and creative, this multi-mama, author, artist, musician, visionary sister helps inspire countless people onto a raw path and to open their hearts and lives to so much more, with grace and joy :)

*Veronika Robinson...this wonder-woman has been a recent import into my reality, yet a much-treasured GEM of a role model ;) Veronika runs "The Mother" magazine on conscious parenting and has at least three books out now on this subject - she is a warrioress of the truth, empowering women everywhere to birth and breastfeed naturally...

*Elena Tonetti...another conscious parenting priestess of the light. Elena's DVD "Birth as We Know It" was the most impactful documentary I've ever seen...we attended a sublime workshop with her too...this woman is helping shift the consciousness of this planet, one birth at a time...truly inspiring, profoundly impactful work, shared with so much love :)

*Victoria Boutenko...the modern mama of raw foods was also the main protagonist in my adventure into raw foods - I doubt I'd actually still be alive at this point if it wasn't for Vicki B's books and amazing impact in the world...this is one powerful woman...emanating truth, directness, clarity, sincerity, fun, independence and a huge amount of joy and compassion :)

*Laura Fox...Ms. Foxy is another powerful force movin' and shakin' her way around the raw food world...social connector and visionary extraordinaire, Laura is like the smiling Goddess of entertainment for the raw food family - multimultiuber-talented, funny, detail-orientated, amazing communicator and inspiring co-creator, she dances, glides and flows...

*Anastasia...mmmmmm, dear sweet sister Anasatasia out in the forests of Siberia...surely my all-time biggest inspiration. No books have ever touched me like those describing Anastasia's life and visions for humanity...I connect to her energy daily and give such gratitude for the images and inspirations she brings forward - a dynamic love powerhouse...

*YOU :) ...yes, you. You inspire me, even if we've never met 'in person'...I love that you're out there in the world, spreading love in your own special way...maybe you're a mama, a sister, a grandma, a friend, a lover...you have a unique place in this magical web we're collectively weaving...and if you're a marvellous man reading this, then all kudos to you too, dear prince, for caring about women enough to read about all these radiating Goddess energies...may the ladies in your life feel loved, supported and glowing today and always... :)

With all love to all women and girls everywhere on this special day:
Happy Goddess Rising Day - you are loved :))))

All love,

WOW - I also absolutely *L*O*V*E*D* this 25-minute free talk by Dr. Thomas Lodi on Google Vids, called "Stop Making Cancer". I LOVE the work Dr. Thomas is doing and was just in awe of the info shared in this video and the way he presents it. As far as I can tell, he is speaking in front of a conference room full of other Doctors and the info he is sharing about raw foods, natural living, creating cancers and so on is *so* simple, so clear and seemingly so far away from the reality of his peers...I applaud this bold, clear, honest sharing - what a service to humanity :) I totally resonated with this talk and hope you enjoy it too - might be an interesting one to share with 'sceptical' friends too... ;)
