Old-fashioned photobooths (see pic!), crispy cold winter wonderland days, a disco tune a day, and exercise, exercise, exercise. Most importantly though: being and becoming.

Be yourself - the best support ever!
Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
I try to eat seasonally (but I have a major weakness for coconuts).
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
bell hooks has described my life in describing her own: '... it was and is easy to keep life simple. I had a daily routine. I would be awake early to meditate and exercise, then I would write. By afternoon [or in my case, early evening], I would wander around town, ending up at the local bookstore ...'
Favorite Books or Authors:
Changes so often. Currently reading Wounds of Passion: A Writing Life by bell hooks.
Favorite Quote:
Again, changes often. By Etty Hillesum, describing her experiences in a German concentration camp: 'I know that those who hate have good reason to do so. But why should we always have to choose the cheapest and easiest way? It has been brought home forcibly to me here how every atom of hatred added to the world makes it an even more inhospitable place'.

i don't know if it's available here yet or not. . . somehow i think not. . . i seem to remember the last time i heard about it, i was disappointed that it wasn't because i watched some of her videos and saw shazzie mention bits about her yummy recipes and especially choco treats! i'll check again, but would also love the recipe if you felt like sending it along. . . xo
oh my goodness. you have made this chocolate and mulberry loving girl oh so very happy!
i do love dark. . . but i'm with you on this one- the lighter one was sheer heaven, and it tasted wonderfully like the carob bars i remember from my crunchy-homesteading -ish childhood! They were treats when we went to the health food stores. . . so the taste transports me right back to the smells of flour and bulk herbs. . . i love it.
You truly are amazing, much love and gratitude. . . I'll try to share with others but can't make any promises! ;)
xo
I'm sure you're having the most amazing time. . . stocking up on cacao magic - watch out for those chocolate hangovers- ;))
and again. . . you have no idea how much gratitude and excitement you've generated in this girl!
for real???? i've never tried it. . . it sounds like heaven and combines cacao with mulberries for extra magnesium and iron (which i've decided my body must be a bit deficient in currently which would explain the cravings). . . also potassium as i'm doing a lot of running and hiking again lately.
SO. . . you would make this little mulberry addict so happy. . . tell me what I would owe you and thanks for feeding my habits! ;)
xoxo
Hey Fleur,
Thank you for 'adding me'.. :-)
Did you know that 'fleur' meant 'flower' in French?
It's a very pretty name anyway..
Nice meeting you :-)

in allot of ways easier in the UK actually, i used to live in Brighton which has a Raw scene going on plus i had a blender and juicer and easier access to super foods, here i am limited on that front, BUT! tropical fruits are gorgeous, its Durian virtually every other day, yes it's coming out of my ears, plus all the others you can think of, would kill (not literally) for a green smoothie and some Raw buddies here....XX
