This Just Feels Right!

Hello again,
I thought I'd share with you some fabulous insight that hit me today! Why do I love raw foods and juices? For the same reasons I love yoga and dancing and spending time with friends or family; they make me feel oneness with the world. Since I started with the raw foods and juices I have let myself be sad, lonely and vulnerable and I have allowed myself to truly find out who I am and what it is that I need to be happy. With life we are faced with tremendous stress both physical and emotional, some are positive and some negative! Your car breaks down (why me?) You have 3 projects due the same day (why me?) your friend stops talking to you (why me?) You make a fabulous new friend (oh wow!) You hear your favorite song on the radio (lalala) The sun comes out while you are walking and warms your face (ahhh). As you can see we are all faced with challenges but remember we are positive powerful souls with so many wonderful blessings but yet we "choose" to dwell on the negative.
Let's try for one day to see everything for what it is and let it go. Don't hold on to negative thoughts. Acknowledge all thoughts and situations and let them go. You may however hold someone you love a little tighter or sip your favorite juice a little slower or turn up the volume of your favorite song a little louder or smile a little brighter knowing that one positive person can change the world!
For one day...let's all be more aware!


With Peace and Awareness,

My next Raw Adventure

Crazy week!

Well I have much to share with all of you. I was called for an interview at a raw food restaurant in Newburyport, MA. I was very excited and when I got there with my shiny beautiful resume the manager said that it was the nicest resume he had ever seen. He immediately offered me to come in during the week to train and learn more about the job. I was extrememly excited! He told me to wear the "uniform" which was all black. I got very into this.. wearing a skirt with leggings and a cute top with boots! I looked adorable and felt on top of the world. I would be working at a raw food restaurant and sharing with others my passion, love and enthusiasm for raw foods. Dun Dun Duh....
When I got to the restaurant, the manager directed me to where I should put my jacket and purse downstairs where all of the other employees keep there things. We walked back up to the restaurant-me now wearing a black apron around my waist and feeling very "official". The mananger sits me down and tells me that I am "st-ah-ging". HUH?!
It was a "tryout" to see how I would do working there! I didn't have the JOB!? NOPE!
3 other girls came in to drop off resumes while I was there. What ever happened to going for an interview and getting a job?!
Anyway I was there for other 3 hours and NO Customers walked through those restaurant doors. That alone should have been an indication that this just wasn't right for me. I felt used! I didn't get paid and I wasn't offered anything to eat. All the dishes were prepared with gluten, soy, miso and nuts. Not allergen free that's for sure. They wanted me to come back another day because no one came in to the restuarant-I wasn't thrilled!

The very next morning I got a call from a Health food store that I had put in an application to over a month ago. They had already found someone for the job that I was applying to a month ago but the owner said that she was very interested in having me work there so she had asked if she could call me if any job opening came up. I was disappointed and didn't really expect to get a phone call in the next lifetime. Hearing the owners voice on the line, the day after such a disappointing day really lifted my spirits. It felt good to know that someone out there was thinking of me!!
Yesterday I went in for an interview...and fingers crossed they will call me in the next couple days.
This whole thing got me thinking. G-d is the only one that knows the story of our lives and he must have a very crazy sense of humor and imagination to create such a roundabout path for us. I now am feeling the good vibes of this next adventure!

All my internship applicaitions are sent out and in April I will know what next year will be like!..

Remember to follow your heart...and even when things seem terrible, it may be a lesson and an indication that fabulous things are in your future~~

Much Love and Faith <3

Back at School and Missing the Juice



Hello all,

I can't believe I did a 30 day juice feast! I also can't believe how long ago that was! Boy do I miss it! Now I'm back at college and my apartment finishing up my LAST SEMESTER of classes! I'm almost done with school. So many cool things have happened in the past month. I went to see Daniel Vitalis and heard him give a fantastic lecture on medicinal herbs and plants, how to forage and find your own food and why everyone should get their own spring water!!!
Guess what...I did it! I found two springs in NH. One in New Boston which was quite the adventure to find since New Boston is a very small rural town and I also found one in Exeter which I now go to every week. Now I only drink Spring water! Did you know that all tap water or water that is sold must be chlorinated to kill bacteria. We are drinking a swimming pool!!!!! AHHHH!
I'm totally loving this water!! Go get some...it's free!

Well time for me to go back to class...more to come later
