Hey everyone,
Here is a little poem, updates, and raw food inspirations for the day!

Falling for you...by Rawkn Yogini
Falling for you was easy
Seeing those eyes shining and lit up was a gift for my heart
Your smile is a beacon of light on my stormiest days
Hard times and frustrations are my soul mourning for complete joy and ease
It gets easier each day with you by my side
My love gets stronger each moment
I can see a glimpse of our life together...speechless


So...this week work and yoga have been the majority of my time.  However, the job search continues.  Raw food is at the forefront of my life right now with Green smoothies for breakfast and very little craving for cooked foods.  Friday i'm getting my hair done then going to portsmouth with my love <3 Saturday is spring water collecting and family visits and Sunday is double date to the movies :-)  This means that I have two days to be productive and get my work done so that I can enjoy my fabulous weekend to come.

If you want to stay raw and not be hungry...eat breakfast. If you eat breakfast you jump start the metabolism and have less of a chance for overeating or being Staarving later in the day! A green smoothie is perfect!! Try it for a few days ...what do you have to lose?


Much love,
Rawkn yogini

PS...day 6 of my yoga challenge.  Tomorrow I will chat about Plateauing and how to jump start your metabolism as suggested by a friend!

Shining Bright and Being the Light!

Hey there everyone,
Today is a very special day.  A day of pure awakening.  Every once and a while I read something or experience something that reminds me of my true path.  Raw Sangha community at rawsangha.com has been a pure inspiration to me.  Watching videos and reading Brother Echo's articles is fantastic.  Watching his journey to raw foods makes me smile and remember my first experiences with Raw foods.  I forget a little bit what that honeymoon phase is like.  Today is the first of the month of October.  Soooo many things to celebrate in my life.  A one month anniversary with an incredible boyfriend and passionate man named Jesse.  Thank you for all your love and support!  It is also the kick start of a 30 day Bikram yoga challenge.  And in nearly 2 weeks I will be celebrating a birthday~  I have a fabulous education in nutritional sciences, a fun job at Hannaford working with fruits and veggies all day and terrific family and friends who are always there for me! 
This month is about cleansing and cleaning my mind, body and spirit.  With 30 days of yoga, 100% raw food diet and with green smoothies every day!  Not to mention more sleep and water!

Please feel free to join me at my "21 Day Raw Food Challenge" group on facebook to receive free recipes, nutrition advice and inspiration on your journey. I would love to answer any questions you may have!

Much Love,
Rawkn Yogini
