on October the 3rd I loved:

1 quart water
double shotglass of orange juice
20 chlorella tablets, 2 Tbsp bee pollen
2 cups strong green juice: celery, kale, spinach, parsley
bowl of energy soup with flax crackers, followed by an apple and 2 Tbsp Wilderness Poet pistachio halva spread – yummmmmm ;)
1 quart water
3 cups coconut water blended with Merlin's Elixir, mucuna, spinach powder and mesquite powder
3 cups goji juice blended with Merlin's Elixir & Marine Phytoplanton
2 cups water

Mmmmmm, I don't think I've ever been so MOVED by the contest entries for a RawReform Giveaway as with the last batch that came in, to win a free copy of Elena Tonetti's awe-inspiring 'Birth As We Know It' DVD.
My heart felt like it was breaking with each and every contest submission that I read: I wanted to send a copy to EVERYONE... ;(
This is truly SUCH an amazing, life-shifting documentary that I thoroughly recommend viewing at any opportunity you get...alas, there could only be one winner of last month's giveaway however...and that winner was picked today as the lovely, open-hearted, flowing goddess, Sparrow Jones :)

In answer to the question: "If you were the winner of the Birth As We Know It DVD, who would you share this inspiring documentary with and why?", Sparrow replied:

"I am on the Women's History Month planning committee at my university
and we had already decided to make this coming year's theme "Birth Stories" --
a theme that can be applied both to actual childbirth as
well as to birthing of ideas, rebirth of self, and more.

Part of our WHM festivities includes hosting a gender studies
conference to which people from all over the country come to listen to
and present ideas about gender, genderedness, and all related topics.
The conference draws quite a crowd, especially since we have hosted
luminary keynote speakers such as Barbara Ehrenriech, author of
"Nickel and Dimed: On Not Getting By in America."

If I were the winner of the Birth As We Know It DVD, I would use my
position as a member of the WHM planning committee to arrange a
special viewing and discussion of the ideas presented in the DVD. With
our conference already drawing a crowd of people interested in such
ideas and our theme of "Birth Stories" already having been chosen, it
would be the perfect opportunity to open a lot of people's eyes,
minds, and hearts to new ways of thinking and relating."

Sparrow R. Jones

Oooooo, WONDERFUL - thank you so much Sparrow, for entering this contest and for your desire to share this DVD with the people at your conference :)...and THANK YOU indeed to ALL of you who entered this contest...

$10 OFF for EVERYONE :)))
If you'd still love to get a copy of this outstanding DVD, as a special offer to you all, I've arranged to have the DVD on sale in our store for $10 off the usual price (from now until October 20th :) You can now get 'Birth As We Know It' for just $35 using this link HERE. I want as many people as possible to feel able to access and share this important information - ENJOY :)))


on October the 4th I adored:

1 quart water
double shotglass of orange juice with goji juice
3 cups greeeeeeeeen juice: celery, cucumber, zucchini, spinach, parsley, romaine, endive, fennel
YUMMMMMMY meal at Au Lac: Chimmichurri followed by shared De La Mamma and Donut Holes – WE LOVE ITO :)))
mug of 'digestive ease' tea

My dear friend Lara has a very special invite to extend to any of you who would LOVE to go and help out at her mum Zanna's charming retreat centre, on the volcanic Canary Island of Lanzarote, near Spain... :)
Here's the download from Lara:

"Zanna, at Villa Amatista retreat centre in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, is looking for WWOOFers (work exchange) AND a paid admin person; soul family, conscious, lovely people, who can use their initiative and are diligent at working.

***WWOOFing Positions***

*working on the land+gardens - there is a hectare of land, growing lots of veggies and fruit trees.

*Painting walls

*Sweeping paths

*Planting trees

*Building stone walls

*Preparing food (for everyone, or for groups when there are courses/workshops).

*...and always lots of different things to be done.

In return for your help, you will receive your food and accommodation. Food is Vegetarian/Vegan, mainly raw - lots of salad from the garden. All Yummy!

Work 5 days a week, normally 9am-2pm. But if you want to work later instead you can, and if you want to have an extra day off you can work a little more for a couple of days - there are many possibilities.

***Long-Term Admin Job***

For this position, you receive your food and accommodation, plus some extra spending money.

There isn't actually a lot of admin to handle, but the centre does need someone to check the e-mails and deal with the bookings daily. Hours of admin vary each day and as there is not a huge amount to do in the office, you get to work/play in the garden too ;)

This position requires someone who is competent with computers, speaks Spanish fluently/very competently and is able to get on independently with whatever tasks are at hand.

With either position, you can also get involved in the regular workshops, including topics such as rebirthing, pilates/yoga, pranic healing, Tai Chi, shamanic healing and so on. You can see all about the centre HERE - the site is available in four languages.

If you are interested in either of these positions, please contact Zanna by e-mail on: zanna.amatista (at) gmail.com.
ENJOY..."

All love,

The Raw 'Insider' List...

OOOOOooOOOOOoooooo, we’ve got a FUN announcement for you today...how would you like to join a raw ‘Insider’ list and get the best deals on raw foods? We know there are a lot of INCREDIBLE independent parents out there, doing their best to bring up sparkly raw families on budgets, plus many others who simply find it challenging to afford all the quality raw foods they’d like…well, help is now at hand ;) We have a big depot full of raw food products and from now on, as the expiration dates start getting nearer for different items, we’re going to send out an email to anyone who wants to receive updates, to let you know what’s on offer, at HUGELY discounted prices. It’s win-win all round :)
For example, in our first round-up we’re going to have items like:

*3lb bags of hemp protein powder for $15
This product is actually no-where near its expiration date – these bags are brand new – we just have an excess of them. ONE lb of hemp protein powder usually costs that amount – here you’re getting 3lbs for that price - :O – bargain...

We also have:
Probiotics, Digestive Enzymes, Hemp Seed packets, Hemp Protein packets, Flax/Raisin Bars, Coco-Chia Bars, Aromatherapy Inhalers, Raw Power Protein Powders and many more...

You don't need to learn any complex handshakes or anything to join in the fun ;) To join ‘The Insider List’, just send an email to matt@rawspirit.org and ***be sure to include the word ‘INSIDER’ in the subject line so that it sneaks past Mr. Monarch’s spamblocker ;) *** We look forward to furnishing your cupboards with many shiny bargains in the future ;)

on February the 12th I had:

1.5 quarts water
12oz celery/cucumber/parsley/apple/radish juice
½ an avo mushed with finely chopped garlic/cilantro, diced tomatoes, sprouts, karengo seaweed, served with cucumber chunks and cabbage leaves
1 quart water
6oz celery/cucumber/parsley/apple/radish juice
bowl of fruit salad with chia gel: banana/kiwi/peach/cherry
3 cups water

After my little update on the Andressohn family a couple of days back, one person wrote in wondering why cheques to support the family are to be sent to Dr Flora and why the parents’ Bail Bond had not been paid back already...well, here’s what I found out... ;)

It was Dr Flora who posted all the bail money for the Andressohns. 50% of it was her life savings; the rest she put on her credit cards. She's not looking for the cash part back, just the credit card principle and interest. Also, Flora is the court-appointed Guardian-ad-Litem for the Andressohn children, and has to account for all funds to the Court. Any donations are deductible on people's taxes. It is also very much appreciated if people do want to send funds to the Andressohns directly, especially for donations. The only issue is that they move house a lot, constantly seeking affordable housing.

Hope that helps ;)

on February the 13th I had:

1.5 quarts water
36oz watermelon/orange juice
24oz spinach/zucchini/carrot juice
bowl of fruit salad with chia gel: banana/papaya/golden kiwi/black plum
3 cups water
12oz spinach/zucchini/carrot juice
bowl of banana ice cream with dried figs
1 quart water

Here down under, ‘tis Valentines Day tomorrow – oooo lala…
Here are some fabulous ‘GREEN’ Valentines Tips from Michael Bloch over at GreenLivingTips.com :

“Around a billion valentines are sent each year globally...Valentines Day is big business and as such has the potential to have substantial impact on the environment. For example, the one billion cards laid end to end would stretch around the world 5 times! That's a lot of trees.

If Valentines Day is an important day for you or the one you love; then you can show a bit of extra love for the environment by carefully considering what you buy. Here's some ideas:

- Cards made from recycled or tree-free paper (this will be indicated on the card)

- Consider sending an e-card instead using one of the many quality services around.

- Fair trade and/or organic (RAW ;) chocolate

- Choose organic and/or locally grown flowers

- Make a donation to an environmental organization on behalf of the person (like the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation...)

- If you wish to give jewelry, consider pre-owned or purchasing from jewelers who are certified to be sourcing precious metals and gemstones in an ecologically and socially responsible manner.

- Buy the person a gift certificate for holistic therapies e.g. massage, naturopath, health spa

- Arrange dinner at a local restaurant specializing in organic or locally grown food. Eating locally cuts down on food miles

- Book a retreat in a wildlife reserve, park or natural area. Your business will help support the running of such establishments.

- Give natural perfumes and fragrances. Popular mainstream fragrances are chemical cocktails. By buying natural fragrances, you'll be showing you not only care for the environment, but the person's health."

Oooo, and wishing YOU all an uber-delicious, joyful to the max, cuddly, yummy, Happy Valentines, until whence we meet again ;)
Kisses to all,
One love,
Ms. Stokes. xxx
