Seed Swap Excitement :)

Yesterday was SO FUN - I went to my first ever seed swap event :) 'Seedy Sunday' in Hove is apparently the UK's biggest seed swapping event and it certainly was a FEAST for my eyeballs when I walked in to see an entire hall of people with packets of hand-saved seeds, manuals for growing, compost bins, live plants and masses more...WOW, what a treasure trove - I felt like a giddy five year old... ;) You can see my little video about it on The Raw Food World TV Show HERE. I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo immeasurably, unutterably excited to get to our land and start planting... :) :) :)
I have this huge sense of awe about growing my own food (especially in SOIL rather than sprout bags ;) My mind chatters away: "...really, I really get to do that? that's legal? lol... where will I begin? how will I know what to do? what will happen?" etc etc - so much to learn and tap into and I trust it will all unfold with grace and beauty in its own time...'Anastasia' will be my primary guide for this journey - I tune into her energy every morning in meditation, send her gratitude for the vision she is holding for the world and I also send the energy of love to our land... EXCITING ;)
Google 'seed swaps' in YOUR area if you'd like to play this game too - I'd definitely recommend it :)
Oohhhh, yes, btw, many of you have been sending messages to say how much you LOVED watching the film 'The Green Beautiful' on YouTube, which I recommended in my last post - WELL, I'm delighted to say that I conveniently found a playlist for the whole film, so you can just click 'play all videos' and the whole film will run for you back-to-back in 9 sections - see HERE and enjoy - I loooved it too, especially the last 3 sections - WOW, it's so amazing to me to see some of the things we can do with these human bodies ;)

THANK YOOUUUUUUUUU all for your lovely messages of love, health, support and vibrancy for Mr. M this last week – he definitely seems to be through the toughest part of this healing journey now – YAY :) Enormous gratitude to you all, for all the healing love that has aided his recovery.
While we’re on the subject of rehab with love, I came across this WONDERFUL little YouTube video on a completely revolutionary ‘eco–prison’ in Norway, where all the inmates work with farming/nature, live in houses (not cells), have minimal security, are treated with love and respect, are producing their own food, use solar panels for their power and are HEALING :) Absolutely LOVE it – so so soooo inspiring. These are not ‘petty thieves’ either – these are some of the ‘most notorious criminals’ in the country. THANK YOU so very much to Norway’s government for creating this space and thanks too for sharing this on YouTube :)

Dancing into our Inner Circles...

Oooooo, we’ve got a fun new play area to share with you: The ‘Inner Circle’.
Those of you who are already familiar with the work of Mr. and Mrs. Gianni may know that they have set up a lovely health community subscription site called ‘The Inner Circle’. It already has over 1000 active members and as of now, myself and the Monarch are going to be playing in there too, regularly ;) We’re going to be giving talks once a month, as well as answering questions, posting exclusive videos and possibly even whistling some of your favourite songs (if you ask nicely ;).
As an introductory offer to come and play in this shiny new sandpit, you can sign up for the quirky figure of just $7.77 (that’s abt £5 for those of you in the UK – bargain ;) and you will receive this raw–markable package deal:

*My entire ‘Raw Emotions’ e–Book (usually $24.95)
*An exclusive ‘Raw Emotions’ audio download – this will be the first full interview I’ve given on the subject of Raw Food and Emotions.
*30–day Trial Membership to the Inner Circle service, including community support, weekly talks, videos, Q and A sessions, download archive of interviews and transcripts with yumsters such as Victoria Boutenko, David Wolfe, Mike Adams and so on...

SO, you get all that for just $7.77, plus on TOP of that, if you stick around to play some more after the first 30 day trial, you’ll get access to an ONGOING 12% discount coupon at Mr. M’s raw food superstore, TheRawFoodWorld.com.
That coupon will ALWAYS work, meaning that you will get 12% off ALL purchases forevermore, if you stick around ;) The monthly membership fee for the Inner Circle service is just $9.97 a month, which could easily pay for itself with the savings you’d enjoy at TheRawFoodWorld. Sounds like a pretty mighty deal, right? ;) LOL...love it...

on December the 19th I had:

1 quart water
water of 2 young coconuts, 2 tbsp sproutein powder
2 cups energy soup with kale chips and snap peas on the side, followed by a bowl of hand–blended yum: almond butter, maca, lucuma powder, carob powder, goji berries
little mug of spicy tea
3 cups water
3 cups veggie juice: celery, parsley, dandelion, fennel, carrots with greens, ginger
2 cups energy soup with kale chips and okra on the side, followed by a bowl of hand–blended yum: almond butter, maca, lucuma powder, carob powder, goji berries
2 cups water

I am caretaking/rehabilitating 2 tiny, month–old puppies and their mum ‘Sandy’ at the moment. They could use a LOT of love right now. They’ve been with me a few days now and I wasn’t actually sure they’d make it through the night last night – I’m relieved that they’re still here today though and they seem to be getting stronger... It seems to have been rather a rough ride for them all so far in this dimension – we’re doing our best to help them to heal now though. If you feel drawn to send love, light and healing towards these three beautiful young canine friends, please do...yesterday was the toughest day so far with them and I sensed there was about a 60% chance they’d make it through the night. Amidst this somewhat bleak situation, a song came onto my iTunes to remind me with sweet lyrics that ‘the greatest gift of life is to know love’...and so that’s the main thing we’re channeling to these little beings right now – love, love, LOVE and more LOVE...and I sense they’re really feeling it...they seem to be getting stronger...and I am so grateful for that. So, please do add your love and blessings for their health and well–being into the Universal Flow, if you are drawn...it will be much appreciated...
Thank you.
