THE ?POST-FEAST FEAST? GIVEAWAY
As I write this, I am currently 80 DAYS into my marathon 92-Day Juice Feast in Costa Rica.
Those of you who have been following my progress on my blog
will know it has been an amazing journey for me so far, which has seen
me lose around 15+ lbs, work through some pretty painful detox symptoms
and experience deep cleansing.
I have enjoyed juicing so much that the idea of going back to solids
has seemed odd to me for the majority of this cleanse. However, in the
last couple of weeks, the idea of solids has started to slowly become
appealing again and so it is that in the next couple of weeks I will
begin to break my feast.
I?d love to celebrate this momentous occasion with you all, so, with
the cooperation of some of the loveliest raw food snack suppliers out
there, we?ve put together some amazing raw treat hampers for the
?POST-FEAST FEAST? giveaway :)
There are 3 hampers for winners in the UK/Europe and 3 hampers for those in N.America/rest of the world.
The hampers include yummy snacks from the following suppliers:
Larawlicious Raw Treats
offer a box of their simply divine Goji Goddess Hearts (see pic). These
luscious raw sweeties are chewy and cacao-free. (If you want to order
some for Valentine?s Day, get your order in quick to

www.lydiasorganics.com have
gifted us a selection of their fabulous dehydrated goods, handmade with
love. Yummies include apple-ginger bars, savory trail mix and
grain-less apple cereal.
www.RawLiving.co.uk have
donated a mixed selection from their best-selling range of raw
chocs and trail mixes - hi-crunch, whoosh, be the change, bullet
ride, hi-trail goji and magic mix.
www.TheRawChocolateCompany.com offer up a bundle of each of their outstanding bars ? Cacaobars, Sunberry and Vanoffe (my personal favourite raw food treat ;)
www.TheRawFoodWorld.com is offering a mixture of the delicious Raw Crunch bars in Wild Blueberry and Wildcrafted Goji Berry flavours.
www.Yaoh.co.uk want
to share with you some of each of their award-winning hemp seed raw
snack bars ? tropical, apple and cinnamon and date/walnut flavours.
It will likely be a long time yet before I personally get back round to
eating things like raw snack bars and chocolates ? it?s going to be
prunes, juicy fruits and salads for me for a good few weeks yet... So,
in the meantime, you may soon be the lucky winner of a lush bounty of
raw snacks to enjoy on my behalf ;) Each hamper contains at least
?15/$30 worth of treats?yummmmmmm? :)

WINNER OF RAWVEGANBOOKS.COM VOUCHER
In January?s newsletter, we announced a Prize Giveaway of a $10 gift voucher courtesy of www.rawveganbooks.com. To enter, you simply had to answer the following question:
What is THE most valuable piece of guidance you picked up in 2006 for having a healthy raw lifestyle?
The winning entry, picked at random, was this, from Michelle in Norway:
?The most valuable piece of guidance I have picked up in 2006 was to
find out what you fear about going raw. I always believe that you can't
change anything you aren't aware of, but I never thought that fear
might be something to keep me from raw foods. Once I started thinking
about it I realized that there were several things I feared (loosing
friends, alienating family etc.). Realizing my fears allowed me to work
through them, and even though some of them are still there, at least I
am aware of them and so they can't control me unless I allow them too.?
Thanks Michelle and CONGRATULATIONS ? your voucher is on its way to you now to use at www.rawveganbooks.com for a lovely new raw food book, snacks or equipment :)
Thanks to everyone who entered this giveaway, there were some great raw
pearls of wisdom submitted. We couldn?t keep them all to ourselves, so
a selection are up now HERE on the RawReform site. Enjoy :)

RAW CONNECTIONS
Social issues can be one of the most isolating aspects of a raw food
lifestyle. Time after time people contact me feeling lonely,
misunderstood and alienated as they embark on this path. I cannot
emphasise enough the benefit of having others around you who understand
and support your choices.
So often, people who are new to raw get discouraged if those around
them do not also seem interested in this way of life. This can be
exasperated if we try in vain to persuade our friends and families to
change with us. We cannot make anyone else?s choices for them. Rather
than burning your energies out on trying to convert others who aren?t
necessarily really interested, I strongly recommend reaching out to
people who ARE already on the same path. This will provide a stronger
sense of community and support, then you will likely feel more secure
to let your raw light shine even brighter :)
Being a beacon for positive change - a living example of the wonders of
this transformative way of life ? is a great way to share this message.
People will see how much healthier and happier you are and those who
are genuinely interested will likely start to come to YOU, asking for
guidance.
The raw community is building and growing all the time. We are so
blessed. A few years ago, it was much more challenging to find others
who aren?t likely to ask you where you get your protein from ;)
Here are my top 5 favourite resources and recommendations for connecting with others:
Raw Re-FORUM
? the Forum at www.rawreform.com is a great place to connect with
others interested in weight loss and overeating issues in particular.
Eat.rawfood.com
? a wonderful raw food community space with around 4000 members at
present. Create your own free profile. View mine here:
http://eat.rawfood.com/rawfood/RawReform/
MySpace ? the world?s biggest online networking portal. See my page here: http://www.myspace.com/rawreform
Rawfood.meetup.com
? an international network of groups of raw foodists meeting up for
pot-lucks, lectures and fun :) See my profile and search for a group
near you here: http://www.meetup.com/members/3194061/
Tribe.net ? another huge online networking portal, with many different raw food groups to access. See my profile and find groups HERE.
If you are more interested in one-on-one personal guidance about raw foods, I also offer consultations. Read more HERE.
