Free Book Offer ~

Dani and I are continuing to put time into getting Simple Everyday Raw Recipes to you as soon as we can ! It was so much fun to make recipe, write them out and take the pictures. It is going to be so worth the wait for you to get this fun book !!!

In the meantime, while waiting to get this launched, I JUST got in my own Email box a FREE book from Joe Vitale ( it is a e book version he is offering to help people out).

It is called Attract Money Now.

You can get your very own copy of this book at this link

I just got the copy today, so they are 'live' with it, even if they say it is soon to be launched.


In the first few pages they have the Optimist Creed. How powerful those words can be ! I will post it here for you to read too. It really put a smile on my face.

FEEL the power of how you can make such an Abundant, Healthy, Amazing Life for yourself!!!

The Optimist Creed was written in 1912 by Christian D Larson, and was published in a book called Your Forces and How to Use them.

The Optimist Creed


Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.

To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Free Downloadable CUTE Grocery Lists

Cute is the best way to describe these great grocery list downloads I found while looking through a curbly post today ! 
 
They can be found at the Kodak download site here.
I love the dancing carrot. 
The bunny and the tortoise are great too.

We are trying to get a bit more organized in our space these days. We have mountains of chocolate molds, cookie cutters, cake pans and cupcake holders to find space and containers for. 

 No shortage of great container sites to breeze through on the web, but most are from the US and I  would like to find a local source. 

It is a good thing it is coming up to back to school time. This is the time of year that the stores start carrying more organizers for the house. So I will keep my eye out on the ads and see what great new products come out to help in organizing and let you know what I find. 

If you know of a great place in Victoria BC to find great organizing products, please comment and let me know !

Craving Craziness

The last few days I have been have a 'craving' for something. Problem is, I just could not figure out what that craving could be .

Has that ever happened to you ? You go to the fridge, the cupboards or the freezer and rummage around looking for that 'just right' thing to satisfy you ?

I have been using a process of checking in with myself to know if the food I have in my hands, or am considering eating is the one I really want, or if there is something different.

I went through Savoury things like salads, wraps and pates. And sweet things like fruit, fruit popsicles and raw ice cream. Nope. No matches. What could it be ?

I figured that I had gone through all the things I generally eat except avocados, and I LOVE avocados !!

As I was getting ready to head out to the grocery store to quench this craving, I made a quick Green Smoothie. Yummy!!!

AHA!! That was JUST what my body was needing. This was not just a regular green smoothie though, it was a Supercharged Superfood one. Lately I have been eating wonderful raw ice creams and smoothies that have some greens. My body was wanting Spirulina !

I instantly perked up and felt so amazing. My body knew what it was needing, I just needed to listen better.

What will give you a lift today ?

Here's the Smoothie that saved me from my Craving Craziness!! I think I will name it just that.

Ending Craving Craziness Smoothie

2 cups spring water
1 frozen banana
2 cups swiss chard
1 tsp spirulina
1 cup blackberries
1/2 tsp maca
1 tbsp goji berries
1 1/2 tsp bee pollen

Put all ingredients in blender and blend on high until blended.
