This is my first post from Ecuador :) I am sooooooooooooooo excited to be back with my beloved Mr. M again and to begin the next phase of our lives together :)
We arrived here to Quito late last night and today we go down to visit our land in Vilcabamba, in the southern part of the country. We are feeling EXTREMELY blessed and blissed :) We intend to continue posting daily shows over at TheRawFoodWorld.tv, so check in over there too if you’d love to see what we’re up to...
I have never been to this continent before and am feeling a wonderful sense of adventure and expansion :) In the last few months in the UK, I have been gently massaging the parts of my brain that used to understand Spanish – I guess we’ll be finding out in the next few days how much has been resurrected from the tombs of my memory banks ;) At the moment things seem to come out of my brain more in Icelandic, which is not sooooooo useful here... ;)

2 cups energy soup with okra and tahini

EEeeeeeeek, apologies to those of you who have been trying to purchase tickets to our upcoming events in Seattle and having issues with the online store checkout... Apparently the system was showing up ‘sold out’ signs and error messages – apologies. The events are still on and there 
are still tickets available ;)
You can see the details and purchase tickets for the full–on plush gala fundraising evening on April 10th HERE.
You can access more info and tickets for our talks the next day at Bastyr University HERE.
Again, I am sooooooo excited to be speaking at a university, potentially accessing many fresh, open, vibrant younger minds – if anyone in the Seattle area would love to help spread the word about these events, please contact monika@rawwashington.org and she’ll happily hook you up ;)
We also now have talk dates set up for April and May in many other places in Oregon/California/Nevada – you can see all the events on Mr. M’s highly organised page HERE (wow, you’d think he was the one with all the Virgo in his chart... ;)
More talks to come, all over N. America, all being well...if you’d love to help us set up an event in YOUR area, please drop us a line at angela@rawreform.com and we will see how we can flow together...
THANK YOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU :)
With love, gratitude and ENORMOUS excitement from Ecuador :)

I’m rather sad that I’m not able to be with him in person at this time to celebrate…we are of course always connected though... :)
Please join in the felicitations for the anniversary of his arrival here in the physical, by sending him a birthday message through any of the following internet portal love–beaming devices (if you haven't already ;) I'd love to surprise him with a wave of wonderful wishes from y'all... ;)
As it's the 8th, here are 8 places you can send your birthday greetings - you can use whichever works for you ;)

ndy looks now :) :) :) Those of you who have been reading here for a while now may recall me mentioning what an amazing experience it was the very first time Sandy wagged her tail, a few weeks after Mr. M saved her in Mexico – well, now watch her go in this video :) My heart just swells to see this :) ...and just LOOK at the size of Panda the puppy now :O She has at least doubled in size since I last saw her I think...mmmmmmmm, so great to see them all looking brighter and healing...sending loooooooooove from this side of the ocean...on February the 7th I had:

Many of you have been asking for Monarch upd
ates, after his recent illness. Well, thankfully, as I said in my last blog post, he seems to still be getting better and feeling healthier by the day - YAY :) I am personally very very relieved...it was rather challenging to feel so far physically from my beloved when he was feeling so unwell...hmmmmmmm...thanks so much again to all of you for your love, kindness, messages, healing thoughts and more that have been sent in these last days - they are all thoroughly appreciated :)
While we're in the healing realm, I'd also love to report that it seems our Mexican rescue dogs are getting progressively better too :) Sandy and Panda are eating well, enjoying California and healing...apparently Sandy wags her tail much more often these days - espec
ially every time she sees Mr. M ;) ...so sweet ;) He is the one who brought her in from the cold, surely saving her life in the process - she loves him :) She also apparently doesn't screeeeech anymore and make those shocking sounds she used to - Mr. M says she can bark now :) ...and her puppy Panda is just growing and growing, teething and gnawing and playing...it's such a delight to know that they are both thriving now... YAY :)

OMGODDESS - here is a raw recipe video not to be missed. If you haven't checked out this clip of miniature raw goddess Zion making raw flax cookies, this is a must see ;) She seems SO incredibly articulate, tuned in and 'beyond-her-years' for a three year old - it's truly like she has her own TV show - absolutely amazing - LOVE it ;)
Thanks be to Maggie who sent this clip in. (Maggie has a lovely range of hand-made pottery pieces btw, many fruit/veggie inspired, which you can see HERE.)
Luscious love,

Crossing the Boundaries of Time...
Mmmmmm, the end of another year, eh? Thank you, sweet people, for all your jolly interactions this year...it’s been a wonderful journey, as ever…
I will say though that it feels nothing like New Year’s Eve to me here in Mexico ;) LOL...not quite sure why...I suspect it has smthg to do with time seeming to speed up constantly – it could just as easily be May or June to me...the end of December already? Well, ok, if you like... ;) I seem to have passed another year without living in any one place for more than a few months again...I would guestimate the number of places I stayed this year as at least 80 or so...HOPEFULLY all that will shift soon though, as and when our US Visa process moves along...breathing deeeeeeeeeeep for that ;)
As for New Years Eve, well, we have the honour of having the delightful Mr and Mrs Gianni over to visit for this auspicious occasion, so I’m sure we’ll have some fun footage to share with you soon ;) You can catch up with recent episodes of TheRawFoodWorld TV Show HERE on Mr. M’s blog...yesterday we went to visit the five–star, raw food healing hospital Sanoviv here in Mexico and...they didn’t seem very excited to see us – was it the shoes, was it the hair? ;) Hmmmm, you can find out more HERE ;)
on December the 29th I had:
1 quart water
2 cups greeeeen juice: tatsoi, lettuces, dandelion, spinach, kale, lime
2 cups energy soup with kale chips on the side, followed by a wedge of homemade raw coconut ice cream
2 cups water
water of 2 young coconuts
3 tbsp Sproutein powder
2 cups energy soup with kale chips on the side, followed by a hand–blended yumpot of hemp butter, lucuma powder, carob powder, maca, cinnamon, vanilla, stevia, water
2 cups water
Tomorrow (31st) is the last day to vote in the ‘Best of Raw 2008’ Awards – have you cast you
You can only vote from any computer once, SO, if you haven’t submitted your choices yet, go for it HERE and enjoy :)
on December the 30th I had:
1 quart water
2 cups veggie juice: lettuce, kale, radish, dandelion, little carrot
2 cups energy soup with kale chips on the side, followed by a wedge of homemade raw coconut ice cream
2 cups water
water of 2 young coconuts
2 cups energy soup with kale chips on the side, followed by a hand–blended yumpot of hemp butter, lucuma powder, carob powder, maca, cinnamon, vanilla, stevia, water

Puppy Update: thanks again for ALL the amazing guidance, love and suggestions people have been sending in about feeding/raising our rescued puppies raw. (If you don’t know about our new canine companions, you can see more about them HERE.)
Today my heart sang as Sandy, the mumma dog wagged her tail for the very first time since she came to us. :) :) :) ahhhhhh, SO beautiful to see. Imagine being around a child who you’ve never seen laugh or even smile and then they suddenly grin ;) It was so delightful and I’m so grateful to see her getting stronger each day, slowly slowly. Please do keep sending them all love, light and healing thoughts if you feel drawn to do so – it makes all the difference...
As for us humans, well, I’d like to sign off here below with a sweet little stanza that I first posted on my blog way back on New Year’s Eve 2006. I like it. I hope you do too...and moreover, I hope you have a WONDERFUL New Year, of joy, enriching connections, love, happiness, surrender to the flow, dancing, squeaking randomly and hugging spontaneously...
May all blessings be yours.
All love,
Angela. xxx
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
