Shower the People You Love With Love!

Show them the way that you feel (as James would sing)... Ahhhh ... what a great idea!

Life is simple these days ... and getting more and more simple every day. Big smile.



There is something so sweet and wonderful about James Taylor's voice and energy ... It reminds me of the energy I felt in Hawaii ... and the friends I left behind there ... and one in particular, whose open, kind and loving spirit touched me profoundly at a time I needed it most. For you I am very grateful! Chris, this one's for you :-)

We Like It Raw

Interview w/ Mike Adams at Raw Spirit Festival

Interview w/ Mike Adams on Raw Vegan Radio

Like I said, I love Mike Adams! :-)

I LOVE Mike Adams! Hear him, Karen Knowler (and other terrific guests) during Kevin Gianni's RAWKATHON!

I got to see and hear Mike Adams' presentation LIVE on the main stage at the Raw Spirit Festival (RSF) two weeks ago ... and he is one cool guy. (More on him later when I write about my experiences at the RSF ... but for now, enjoy a bit of his humor as you check this out) . . .


Mike will be the lead-off speaker in a series of FREE interviews coming up called the RAWKATHON -- put together by Kevin Gianni (of Renegade Health) -- that I'm also recommending folks check out. Highly recommending it, actually! Here's the link.

The RAWKATHON

THIS series of interviews will feature a fantastic array of people with a ton of knowledge and expertise in all things healthy that you won't want to miss (imo!). See if any of the guest speakers float your boat and if so, sign up! Send the info on to family and friends who may also be in the process of regaining their true health -- as I am. Oh, and did I say that it's FREE?!

Gotta run ... Naomi

Back from the Raw Spirit Festival!

Don't have time to post on it just yet ... but wanted you all to catch Angela Stokes on CNN. I love that eating living foods is becoming more and more "main stream."

Dazed and Confused in the United States of Drugs and Chemicals -- Definitely worth a listen!

Synthetic chemicals are things that do NOT appear in nature -- thus our bodies do not know what to DO with them ... except to react in "unnatural" ways to them. We cannot escape them all . . . but we sure can cut back on LOADS of 'em!

If you have some time, listen to author Randall Fitzgerald discuss his research and book, The 100 Year Lie: How Food and Medicine Are Destroying Your Health. Randall has been an investigative reporter for the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post, and now presents this "smoking gun" exposing how food and medicine are destroying our health (and environment)— and what we can do about it.

Could the health problems in this nation -- most especially the obesity epidemic -- have to do not only with the level of junk food promoted ... but the very body-poisoning chemicals they (and even "healthy" foods AND OUR WATER) are laced with??

Don't be discouraged by the facts in the interview, though . . . just do your best in your little space on the earth . . . and one by one we'll wake up more and more people who care. Hang in there to the end . . . it ends on a very positive note! Scroll down to the 7/24/06 show and click on the podcast icon:

Happy Anniversary . . . Jeremiah 17:5-8

It's been a wild ride . . . you could write a book (a very good one!) . . . and perhaps you should.

Happy Anniversary

This link is a personal one, posted in honour of a long-lost friend who I hope one day will be a friend again ... a friend in the truest sense the word is known. (The lead editorial that day in '72 is pretty interesting in light of your family/geneology info that has come to light.) :-)

Considering You an Exemplary Raw Spirit, may I share a little-known 'secret' with you? Likely you are aware that The Raw Spirit Festival is a 501c3 educational non-profit. However, do you know its specific mission and vision? The following quote was excerpted from the official bylaws Article 1, Section 1:

PURPOSE: Raw Spirit Festivals comprise what will soon be an international network of "the largest raw vegan, healthy-living, eco-peace festivals on Earth" for charitable, educational and inspirational purposes. The aim is to educate humanity on the health benefits of incorporating more fresh organic fruits and vegetables into one's diet as well as other health-generating practices including: exercise, rest, yoga, meditation, caring for the environment, caring for each other, cultivating inner, family, community and world peace, organic gardening, raw vegan food preparation, expressing oneself creatively through art, music, poetry, theatre, dance, un-cooking, eco-inventions, conscious business, moreover, catalyzing the emergence of a raw-eco-peace economy by providing educational festivals regularly and frequently, as well as supportive community-enhancing programs throughout the year.
