Making a heart centered difference!

When I decided to go all Raw I did not realize how much it would change my life! I am changing on so many levels! I was not aware of the depth of these changes. I knew that my body, health & psychic abilities would change and become more in tune with the universe! I heard others speak of their changes and transformations. I noticed that their stories were inspiring & beautiful but I did not get the depth! Not until I lived through my own changes and continue to do so am I realizing in my core what others speak of!
I knew on so many levels why I did not want to eat meat anymore and to no longer put such a low vibration in my body! Now I am realizing even more how one person can make a significant difference! When I purchase organic raw foods I am telling the universe what to produce more of! The single purchase of something that is not serving [meat, drugs, alcohol, porn, & processed foods] affects what the divine energy of creation will be manifested in to. The world only makes what there is a calling for. Once again I am feeling how much the power is put in my hands and how I choose to live my life. My outer world is a direct reflection of my inner world. I can choose which direction to send the powerful manifesting energy of the divine! I, as one single person makes a difference! I choose to make a beautiful difference! I love Our Earth and I choose to serve God by loving her and treating her with kindness! She is me and there is no separation! LOVE! How do you make a beautiful difference? Please share with us! I also ask what is one more way you can make an even more beautiful difference today? What action can you take? I am going to make even more steps in to making my home a green home! That is my next step[s]. Please share with us!=-) <3 <3

Loving You Always

Chocolate Mousse and Hazelnut Vanilla Cookies





Anyone who knows me knows that I am the Chocolate Mousse Queen! I had a base recipe and have been making it differently for the past year! Sometimes I will add different Superfoods! I like to sprinkle Goji Berries on top!! Goji Berries, Cacao, Carob ....... OH MY!!!!
Here is the recipe I make most often for my Chocolate Mousse!
~CHOCOLATE MOUSSE/ PUDDING~
4 Medium Avocado's
1/2 cup soaked dates[save date water to use for recipe]
1/3 cup Cacao powder[add more or less to your taste] this amount adds a milk chocolate taste
1/4 cup carob powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract[only if you like=-)]
1/3 cup of date water or add for the consistency you like!!
sprinkle cinnamon on top optional but helps with digestion of these ingredients!
I dip all kinds of Berries in it as well as oranges, apples, bananas, & more
Put it all in the food processor and then enjoy!
HAZELNUT VANILLA COOKIES
I went Heathy's last post on her incredible blog and I saw that she used a recipe from Everyday Raw by Matthew Kenney to make the wonderful cookies on her post! I have the book, jumped up, and made the cookies! You see the result[what's left of it=-)]! The dough was so good!! It almost didn't make it to the dehydrator. My kids and I could not stop "sampling it"!
I had to change it because I was out of almond extract! Thanks for the inspiration Heathy!!!
13/4 cups dried Coconut
3/4 cup of almond flour
3/4cup cashew flour
3/4cup grade B pure maple syrup
1/3 cup coconut oil
11/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon hazelnut extract
pinch sea salt[I forgot to put this in]
I shaped them and put them in the dehydrator 12 hours
They were so good right out of the D. Slightly firm on top, warm and soft in the middle! I will be making these again.
Everyday Raw by Matthew Kenney is another one of my books that I use often=-)

"Meatballs" in Marinara Sauce



These came out really well. I was pleasantly surprised! I got both recipe's from Jennifer Cornbleet's Book Raw Food Made Easy. I LOVE this book!!! I have lots of Raw recipe books and this is the one that I seem to use the most. The recipe's are very easy and they taste great! I have found that I have changed many. Out of all my books I use this one daily or my own recipe that was made out of a recipe of hers. I definitely think every beginner would benefit having this book in their collection to start with.
I had a friend try the recipe last night and he liked it. He thought the taste was great but the texture was not to his preference. He would eat them again though=-)
I enjoyed them and I will be making them again! This time the whole recipe instead of the, I am just trying this half recipe.=-)
Marinara Sauce
ripe tomato
sun dried tomatoes
olive oil
I used an Italian herb mix
fresh garlic
salt
cayenne pepper
Meat balls
I used walnuts & pecans
lemon juice
olive oil
tamari
garlic powder
salt
fresh parsley
minced onion

First Green Smoothie Workshop


I have heard that when you are fulfilling your dharma[life's purpose] the universe will line everything up and like magic it will come to you. That is what is happening here in CT..=-) I was just contacted to do my first Green Smoothie workshop/demonstration. I am very excited. I am "magically" meeting the right people at the right time! People are open to taking charge of their lives and are coming to me. I am at home loving Raw Foods, reading & learning all that I can, and living with an open heart. It has been almost effortless to start this. The universe is weaving together a beautiful story that I am blessed to be a part of! 2 hours before the call came I was all of a sudden "given" a name for my Raw Food business. There was a paper and pen right next to me on the couch and I started scribbling all kinds of ideas. I will share another time the name. I am not 100% sure what I am going to pick yet. So before I make any announcement I want to be sure.=-) I can't help but see the synchro-destiny in the timing of my name and the call for the workshop. Also, when then call came in, I was creating a new recipe to make "rice paper" for Thai spring rolls. As you can tell.... I am VERY excited and Thank you for taking the time to read the musings of my heart.
Thank you universe for the abundance you have brought and are continuing to bring in to my life! I am a vehicle for your LOVE !! How may I serve?
LOVE ALWAYS

Standing In The Fire. FOR MYSELF!!!!



I just came out from a couple of days of self doubt. The whole time I saw what aspect it was and what was causing it. I made the choice to stand up for my life and stand in the fire for myself!!! Give Myself the encouragement I often give others and my kids. It was time for me to receive the same love I give to others. I have made the choice to start a Raw Food business and the universe had delivered the help SO FAST AND WONDERFULLY. Thank you God! I will be honest though. It pushed self worth buttons. My nervous system was on edge. I could feel the need for old patterning to be looked at then let go of. I am sure as no surprise to you all, I also started craving cooked foods. My ego tried to talk me into eating continuously! I heard all the voices trying to tell me that I can not succeed and that Raw Foods is to radical and that everything should be in moderation. All those old voices[the ego] that had me trapped in the world of food addiction and that was comforted with unserving foods. I am relieved to say that I did not cave this time around! I know for me that an all Raw diet is best. I could not have done with out faith[it was tested though]!!! It is now over 3 months! I could hear the voice of addiction speaking to me and I could also see the old me that used to listen to those voices. Boy oh Boy...... no wonder why my nervous system was on edge....

Today I feel more confidant, strong, and loving. Able to be more loving and compassionate for others and myself. Today I am going to make more steps towards my dreams and goals.=-) Right Now I am in a deep state of Gratitude for all that I have. I can not do any of this with out God & meditation being my constant companion! THANK YOU!!

Going Professional!!


I have been feeling guided to start teaching workshops on Raw Foods & the wonderful Green Smoothie. I was having doubts. Feeling like I haven't been doing it long enough, I'm not educated enough and all that kind of mind babble. Then the people seem to be "coming to me". Everywhere I go I am having people ask me questions, want a class, and full of great info for me. People all around me are making amazing food changes and adding more Raw in their life. All of them are asking me questions, asking for guidance with it, or just simply doing what I am doing. My kids, friends, Waiter's at cooked food restaurants, x-husband, family and neighbors. It is amazing the opportunities that have been coming my way in the last 3 weeks. Truly Synchro-destiny at work!!
I am taking it all as a sign that I am on the right path. Well........ now I am saying to you and the universe. I AM DIVING IN! I LOVE RAW FOODS!!!! GOD HOW CAN I SERVE.? I AM A VEHICLE OF YOUR LOVE! IN YOU I TRUST!!!!
LOVE ALWAYS
