big chunk of Mr. M's *amazing* new Pili Nut "Chocolate" :)))
1 cup water


on October the 2nd I enjoyed:

1 quart water
8 granadillas

My dear friend Caro in the UK has a *WONDERFUL* new project to share with y'all... The Living Rainbow Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that Caro has set up to offer coaching programmes for people in supported living who want to improve their health by eating more fresh foods - love it :) This project arose when it became clear that Caro's own son, Ben, who has special needs and lives in a supported living house, was going to become more responsible for feeding himself, rather than meals being supplied - after witnessing some "other-than-optimal" choices unfolding from this new framework, Caro decided to step in and start sharing info with the people there about smoothies, juices and healthier living in general - she saw great improvements and felt the desire to share this message wider, especially considering that apparently 70% of the people in the UK with special needs show up as either overweight or underweight :O
Caro received funding from UnLtd in the UK to create this foundation and now she has a great new website to share the message of The Living Rainbow Foundation - check it out at www.the-living-rainbow-foundation.org. If you'd love to get involved with Caro's project, you can contact her through the website - brightest blessings to all involved :)

Raw Emotions Support Group :)

WOW, very cool news from Minnesota...one reader, Cindy, is starting a Raw Emotions Support Group :) The group is going to collectively read and discuss my book "Raw Emotions" and gather together regularly to share their journeys of transformation...nice :)
You can see details for this group HERE and perhaps if Minnesota is a little far to travel for you and you'd love to start a similar group in your area, you could connect with Cindy to share ideas...ENJOY :)))

...and while we're on the subject of Raw Emotions, here's a little message sent in recently from another reader, Gigi, who just received the book:

"I just received your BEAUTIFUL book Raw Emotions and can't seem to put it down. I'm not overweight, I'm actually the opposite I don't want to lose ANY weight but I still find your book so useful. There's so much good information in there for the ordinary person just wanting to improve themselves. I love it."

Are you Simply Raw...? ;)

Did you see Morgan Spurlock of "SuperSize Me" talking about raw food and healing yet? Interesting stuff - you can check out all the buzzzzzz, with over 780 comments already at SimplyRawVideos.com. I met Morgan back in 2004 or so, when SuperSize Me first came out and he and his wife came to Iceland to premier the film. I was SO excited to see the film and also kinda nervous to go and meet Mr. Spurlock ;)
My friend introduced me to Morgan and his wife Alex, explaining how I'd released over 160lbs by switching to raw food - it seemed at the time that they maybe weren't really sure what that meant...so it's fun for me now to see Morgan sharing his thoughts on the power of raw food for helping people to reverse debilitating health conditions ;) Today is the LAST day to catch the video with Morgan, before the next free video in this series goes up tomorrow (Thursday Nov 4th), featuring Dr. Joel Fuhrman...followed by interviews with David Wolfe and Mike Adams next week - FUN :)

I would like to comment on how happy I am to be living in a "kissing culture" here in Ecuador... ;) I like living in places where people regularly greet each other with kisses to the cheeks, hugs and squeezes...

Growing up in 'stiff-upper-lip' southern England, I did not experience much of this way of life...and now I really appreciate the warmth, sweetness and simple connectivity of this kind of culture. I remember being disturbed as a teenager to read in a newspaper about a study that had recorded how many times two people conversing in cafes in different countries would typically make "platonic" physical contact in the space of an hour - the stats went something like this: Italy: 84 times, Spain: 60 times, France: 46 times, England: 1 time...wow...an island nation of islands...
So I love being here now in a culture where kissing and hugging friends and aquaintances is the norm, rather than the exception...though perhaps things have changed a lot in the UK these days...I haven't been there much in recent years...I can imagine at least that among British Raw Foodies there is a yummy amount of connection and flow, even if the rest of the country might not be quite in sync yet... ;) Raw lifestyles tend to bring out the hugs in people ;)

I am also happy to say that my Spanish language skills seem to be slowly increasing weekly...I can definitely still understand much more than I can say...it's all moving along though, slowly-slowly...when we first got here, the long-lost Spanish part of my brain was getting completely confuzzled with my Icelandic, resulting in a bizarre "Spicelandic" torrent that made little sense to anyone here except me...although these two languages share a remarkably similar phonetic base, that's where the similarities end... ;) I'm happy to say the Spicelandic has now given way to a funky flow of Spanish with very little valid conjugation, yet a lot of good intentions... ;)
These days Spanish is apparently the second most widely spoken language in the world (after Chinese; English is now in third place...), so I'm very happy to be re-filling the Spanish-shaped hole in my brain with useful vocabulary and my cheeks with friendly kisses - Viva Ecuador ;)


on October the 31st I was blissed with:

1 quart water
water of a young coconut
5 granadilla, ½ a papaya
3 cups INTENSE wild green coocnut water elixir from Mr. M

The other fabulous website link was sent in by Serena and is actually another whole website full on info and links on Little Grandmother. This site, which you can see HERE, seems to be a work of love from someone in Europe, who is pulling together in one place all of the interviews that they can find with Kiesha. There are many different video and audio interviews on this site that can be listened to online or even downloaded to listen to at your leisure - WOW :)
I think I've listened to just abt everything on this site now - I LOVE, love, LOVE the positive, beautiful, transformational message Kiesha is sharing and it feels like such a treat to listen to her.

The Longevity Conference Experience :)

Recently I was very excited to access the playback recordings of David Wolfe's "Longevity Conference", held live in California in March this year with hundreds of people in attendance. Some of my favouritist raw/health-orientated beings presented at the conference, including Wolfie, Solla, Mike Adams, Dr. Mercola, Truth Calkins, Nadine Artemis, Ian Clark and Donna Gates, among others - what a stunning line-up :)

I've been watching the playback videos from the Conference this last week and I absolutely *love* them :))) It seems that pretty much the entire weekend of talks/workshops was captured on video and is available now for playback - sooooo much amazing informative entertainment :)

So far I've seen Solla making delicious raw Thai soup and face packs, Mike Adams singing some of his latest song and talking about community, Dr. Mercola answering questions on Vitamin D and fructose, Nadine Artemis sharing an outstanding outline of dental care for raw foodies, Wolfie being his entertaining self, discussing everything from DNA structure to grounding technology, Jason Wrobel giving the most amusing raw chili demo you'll probably ever see and much much more - live experiments, q&a panels, live blood analysis discussions, elixir making...there's SO much packed into this DVD package...

The DVD set just launched last week and can currently be purchased HERE - you get access to all the videos both online AND in physical DVD format, plus you also get a very generous line-up of 'bonuses' too, including three discs of the whole "Elixir Mastery Workshop" after the main conference in March, a downloadable digital sampler of recipes from raw chef Frank Giglio and a downloadable file on Joint Health from Wolfie himself...wow, what a collection ;)

You can get your hands on a copy of all this goodness HERE...and I do believe tickets are already available for the next Longevity Conference in September 2010 too - yeeeeeeee-HAH - I hope to be there this time round ;)

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,
