Get ready to get a greeeeen mouth with this month's RawReform Giveaway ;) We're giving away a bag of our SUPER-popular, SUPER-tasty Chlorella 'Nuts' - one of my absolute favourite raw food snacks :) (I usually can't STAND the taste of chlorella, yet these crunchy tasty little tablets of pressed chlorella powder are delicious - to my taste buds at least, lol ;)
Chlorella is a yummy algae with massive amounts of chlorophyll, protein and B vits to share with you...eating it is also a great way to get the classic raw food 'green mouth' look - see evidence to the left.
To be in with a chance of winning a bag of these yummable munchables, we'd love you to send in your best creative raw green mouth picture; yes, get out your spirulina, your blue-green algae, your green smoothies, your wheatgrass or whatever other greeeeeeens you love to green yourself up with and show us your most outstanding green face...here is another favourite from my personal album:

Feral Phone Woman on Facebook... ;)

Hmmmmm…so…I’m still in Canada…and it’s starting to get cold here – there was thick frost the last few mornings – a definite sign for me that it’s time to shimmy on out ;) …and indeed, I was due to be in Australia by now…and yet…and yet…and…yet…the latest thrilling installment of visa blahblah intervened and so here I still am…ho-hummmmmmm…off to OZ next weekend now instead and in the meantime, well, it is giving me wonderful opportunity to get on with masses of writing for my new book, which I’m so excited about and can currently be found squeaking about enthusiastically on the phone, daily…(see picture above as evidence ;) I am feeling SO immensely blessed at the technology we have available to stay in contact with loved ones these days. Through Skype video-conferencing, I get to ‘be’ with Matt every day, even if he’s thousands of miles away down there in the States…in the last few days I’ve been to two lectures with him, met the guests at his magnificent raw ice cream party and today even got to join in on the GORGEOUS women’s singing circle I used to sing with back there in California…hmmmmmm…I am so grateful that I am able to participate in this way – and for FREE – Skype is so amazing…if you haven’t ever checked it out, I’d highly recommend it…you can sign up for free Skype calls HERE.

On October the 28th I had:

1 quart water
3 cups alfalfa/romaine/spinach/celery/carrot/ginger
2 cups water
bowl of sea spaghetti mixed with pumpkin seed butter, salt and hemp seed
piece of raw chocolate/cinnamon shortbread cake. Base – mixture of ground almonds, raw honey, lucuma powder and cinnamon. Frosting – coconut oil mixed with raw honey and cacao powder. Yummmm ;)
1 quart water
1 quart celery/carrot/alfalfa juice
1 persimmon
3 cups water

I have been dancing like a feral woman the last few days…lol…I am in LOVE with ecstatic dancing bliss…as I said, it’s kind of cold and rainy too here at the moment, so, rather than go out for my usual daily jog, I’ve been cranking up the toooooons and dancing like a banshee in the living room. I LOVE IT. It feels sooooooo immensely liberating and energising for my whole body – I let it move as it wants to, going with the flow – it is deeply meditative for me and I feel totally at one with spirit and connected. It’s an ecstatic state for me – it feels so good that at times I almost can’t handle it, as my body shakes and jostles and spins and grinds as it likes, releasing tension, un-stiffening joints, freeing endorphins…sometimes the movements surprise even me – I’ll see a reflection of myself and am amazed I can even move like that…ahhhhhhh…I absolutely recommend putting on some bumpin’ music and going wild in your living room – yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-HAH :)))

on October the 29th I had:

3 cups water
1 cup warm water with lemon
1 quart celery/carrot/ginger/apple juice
bowl of blended bananas mixed with ground almonds, ground flax seed, maca, cinnamon, mulberries and pumpkin seeds
1 cup water
bowl of sea spaghetti seaweed mixed with hemp seed butter, salt, sliced sundried tomatoes, grated carrot and grated sunchoke
2 cups water
1 Asian pear
2 cups water
1 quart cucumber/cilantro/spinach/romaine/carrot/sunchoke juice
2 cups water

Ok, I finally did it…I let go into the flow and joined Facebook ;) The invitations to join have been popping up repeatedly in the last months and my resistance finally snapped ;) You can see my page HERE…it seems nice to me – much more user-friendly than MySpace, from my POV…I also took this opportunity to create a new page on the RawReform website, which gathers together all the places on the internet where you can find RawReform, web-wide, on portals like these – you can see that new page HERE… Enjoy ;)

Co-operation, communication and ice cream... ;)

I did a really fulfilling live radio interview today...there was something quite delicious about it…it was for Vancouver Co-op radio and the host is a lovely, gentle, insightful woman named Allart…this interview differed to so many others in that we went deeeeeeep into the emotional aspects of my raw food journey – almost to the exclusion of all else ;) It was wonderful to share so much, especially with a fellow raw foodie and WOMAN who clearly is very passionate about health and healing for the masses…beautiful…you can listen to the interview HERE:

700ml water
handful of goji berries with pine nuts
200ml water½ a durian

Today also sees the new moon grace us with its presence in Libra…this is a moon close to my heart…I have a LOT of Libra in my chart…I also resonate greatly with the number 10 and interestingly, the day today is 10.10 and the time of the new moon is 10.01 PDT (the time zone I'm currently in...)…oooo la la…what to say about all THAT??? Well, as always, master astrologer Lisa Dale Miller has plenty of guidance to share on this one…here she goes:

“Because Libra rules all forms of relating, it's worth beginning with the most important of all human relationships: our stewardship of this planet. Once again, this year we all need to do very serious ritual work on this New Moon in Libra, the ruler of justice, negotiation, deep-listening, love, and caring for "the other." Look within, get active, and shower love locally; your actions and intentions will reverberate out like waves in a pond, shifting the entropic downward spiral we see happening all around us.
Because the Libra New Moon rules love and relationship, this is the most powerful New Moon for bringing new love into your life. This is the perfect time, through ritual, to clearly define your qualifications for a relationship, and set the intention to make it happen.
I recommend a New Moon in Libra ritual that revolves around serious list making. Libra is the communicator and this is the time to clearly communicate what you want, so the universe can line up behind your intention and make it a reality. Create your lists as though you are weaving a piece of fabric, using your mental and emotional energy to build intention with substance and form. When you have finished, place the lists in a sacred place somewhere in your bedroom. Read the lists each day while the Moon is waxing to full. Don't be afraid to refine or edit the lists. It helps build the energy.
Libra revels in openness and sharing. Libra is the listener of the zodiac. The only way to achieve fairness and understanding is to share your feelings and then carefully listen to the feelings of others. Use this time to engage in meaningful discussions. Libra rules compromise and negotiation and helps us learn to get what we want while making the other party feel like the winner. Win/win is the way of Libra!
The New Moon is Libra is a great time to caretake intimate relationships. This is the New Moon to remind yourself that all any of us ever really needs is love! And yes, you do deserve to be loved!!!”

Ahhhhh, beautiful ;) …see Lisa Dale Miller’s full run-down on this new moon in Libra HERE: http://astrowisdom.com/thisnewmoon.htm

on October the 10th I had:

1 litre water
1 litre green/carrot juice
big bunch of yellow-green grapes
300ml water
GORGEOUS dip made fresh with just 4 ingredients: tomatoes, avocado, hemp seeds and Celtic sea salt, with homemade brazil nut/carrot juice pulp/sundried tomato flax crackers…WOW…I seem to have come over all domestic again… ;)
500ml water
1 mango
500ml green juice with carrot
bowl of blended banana with maca and cinnamon, over soaked, dehydrated buckwheaties and chopped dried fruit…YUMMMMY
500ml water

OOoooOOooOooo, exciting yummy info for any of you in the Ojai/Santa Barbara area, in California…our friends who make the most outrageously delicious RAW ICE CREAM are now selling their wares in the local area…WOW…some of you reading this may remember the ‘durian and ice cream’ party we had earlier this year in California – well, this was the stuff we were all devouring – pints and pints of it – it’s incredible… ;) Now they’ve set up their own website for people to place orders for ‘Henry’s Raw Vegan Ice Cream’ - it's all handmade with love, in small batches, by a beautiful young raw vegan family. They are STRICTLY handling only local orders at the moment though…I do hope they'll expand at some point to sell further afield – at least to the LA area perhaps – it seems to me this is a big ‘gap in the market’ of commercial raw foods…I guess the logistics of keeping things frozen in transport etc make it complex…hmmm…in any event – if you’re in that area and want to enjoy a simply delicious raw treat, check it out… ;)
