PEAS ON EARTH CHALLENGE- CONGRATULATIONS!!

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who made it through the Peas on Earth Holiday Challenge! This has been one of the most challenging months in years for me, emotionally, and I know that without this amazing community of support, I would have eaten my way through chocolate cake and brownies faster than I could make them. While my holidays haven't been exactly raw, I continue to learn about my relationship with food, and that is where the battle begins for me.

Since November 15th, I have made new friends on Raw Fu, and continued to forge my friendships with those of you who have been here since the beginning. Thank you. I never imagined that 2008 would end this way. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world.

Over the next week, I will be working on the upcoming 100 Day Raw Fu Challenge and on the site. New challenge begins on January 1, 2009. Some of you may also be planning to Juice Feast. http://www.juicefeasting.com/ You're welcome to share your experiences on Raw Fu, too! I'm hoping to have the Rainosheks join us as celebrity Raw Fu guests during the upcoming challenge, and I am planning to do weekend juice feasting during my next 100 days.

You don't need to do anything to join the next challenge, just continue to visit the site, and participate in the forums! Set your goals here: http://tinyurl.com/996owg and stay tuned. I've got some exciting new things planned for the upcoming challenge.

HOW DID YOU HOLIDAY CHALLENGE GO?

RAW FU PEAS ON EARTH CHALLENGE- Holiday Food

I wanted to show you a sampling of the food that we had at the Raw Fu Holiday party. Small raw lasagna bites, green salad with pears, blueberry pie, cherry cobbler, fruit salad. Oh yes, us raw foodists are so deprived, aren't we?

Pictures of raw food were definitely important to me when I was exploring if raw food was going to be the right lifestyle for me. Once I saw that the food could be more than just a glorified veggie tray, I got excited to start creating recipes.

Instead of YouTube, spend some time today on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com and search "raw food". I think you might just get inspired! And when your friends and family ask about what you eat on a raw food diet, share pictures with them like the one from the holiday party. :)

I have spent the day reading, studying, wrapping my brain around what direction I want my life to go. Enjoying the questions. When I got home yesterday, the boys had the Christmas tree up. From the window, I drove up and saw pretty multi-colored twinkling lights. Then when I got inside, I could see that the lights were only on the part of the tree that you could see from the street. The bottom of the tree was still bare, and dark. It made me laugh, and reminded me of walking behind the set of a theater scene.

The boys were so happy to see me. Beckett slept on my pillow along with me last night, and even though I was cramped and kept having dreams about falling off the bed, I was so happy to have him near me.

HOW IS YOUR DAY GOING?

Sneak Peek with Frank Giglio

Frank's class was very inspirational yesterday, and here is a little sneak peek of what the class was like. I am actually still in Dallas. Since my flight plans changed, I'm flying out tomorrow. Another day at Chez Angela. Basil, I promise I am coming home. But the food, and the bamboo sheets, and the kids who sit and do their homework, it's kinda of nice here.

Oh, and the fireplace. And of course, Dixie, my new favorite dog.

I hope you guys are having a great day. Things are brewing around here, and I'm getting very excited about the future! Lining up the Raw Fu celebrities for the next challenge. :)

HAVE YOU INVITED SOMEBODY TO JOIN THE NEXT CHALLENGE?

Peas on Earth Day 26- Towel Head

Today I talk about how sometimes when you're sad or mourning, you just want people to make food and bring it to you. And aren't people always super willing to make food and bring it to you?

And yes, I just got out of the shower. I was working hard all day trying to get Daddy Bear a portfolio put together online. www.basilberrydesign.com

See you in Dallas!

HOW IS YOUR DAY 26 GOING?

I'm making holiday crafty rice socks to take to friends in Dallas this weekend. They're not only cute, and can be heated up to use as a stress reliever, but I've been adding different aromatherapy to each one.
