One of the things I learned early on in life is that an attitude of gratitude goes a long way. Sometimes it helps to say thank you to nothing in particular, and other times it helps to highlight the people that make your life better.
These are some of the delightful people I’ve been blessed to work and interact with, while bringing more raw food magick into their lives. They’re all outstanding, so check them out. :)
Emily of Hello!Self: Emily was inspired by the first free Raw Food teleclass I gave. It was so humbling to see Emily undertake a raw food trial shortly after the class too! Emily is a Life Coaching for Positive Living, you can follow Emily on twitter @HelloSelf.
Rohan of Rohan Mitchell: Rohan is a Software Engineer (not unlike myself!) living in Australia (unlike me) who shares his passion for personal development and freelancing. Rohan is into veganism, and my latest love Dance of Shiva. He mentioned giving green smoothies a try, so follow him on twitter @RohanM.
Kyeli of Freak Revolution: Kyeli is like my long lost faeriedust sprinkling sister, who also loves Buffy The Vampire Slayer. She is currently doing a rejuvenating self-care retreat while going raw, so send her lots of love and support, read her microfiction and comment, or follow her on twitter @Kyeli. You can do it Kyeli! :)
Sean of RebootSelf: Sean is an inspiration to anyone who wants to change. He has quit alcohol, smoking, and coffee. Now he’s retooling his eating plan and has started a raw food trial. Let him know what a fantastic job he’s doing and follow him on twitter @RebootSelf.
Andrea of Holistic Show: Andrea is the host of Holistic FM and she exudes a passion for helping parents make great choices. She’s a green smoothie mommy and we share a lot of common ideals. Follow her on twitter @HolisticMom.
Sigve of Sigve Alsvik: Sigve is a long time raw foodie from Norway who is a passionate multimedia musician. He’s got a great creative flair and is a wonderful person to connect with on twitter @SigveA.
Nathalie of One Peaceful World: We share the same name, and we happen to have a lot more in common than I originally thought. ;) Nathalie is a recovered lawyer into human rights, health, and living in a peaceful world. We need more lawyers like her, so follow her on twitter @NathalieMe.
Carla of Green & Chic: Carla and I met through personal development blogs, and as it turns out we both like things that are green and chic. I just wanted to commend Carla for her dedication to her health as an MS survivor, and for the incredible transformation that she’s undergone. Follow her on twitter @CarlaRose.
Now I’m passing the gratitude flowers onto you, who would you like to say thank you to? You can do so in the comments publicly, or just send an email to someone you appreciate!
Sending lots of raw magick juice your way!

Wow! Thank you for the shutout! You really made my day. :D

Yay! You're welcome, I think making days should be my new title. ;)

Hi Nathalie,
You know what – I can't help but read this post and just really feel sincere gratitude in your words. So, my flying-carrot-friend, know that I think this is way awesome (like you!) – and with that I think I'll go home and see if I can find a fresh radish to eat in our garden…
(I'm inspired when I visit here – to keep finding ways to bring more raw foods into my diet)

Cheers to Raw indeed. :) Go gratitude, and thank you Kristen for your own site and inspiration.

Hi Lance!
Woohoo! Your comments always make my day Lance. I'm planning to do a gratitude post every now and then, and you're definitely on my list. ;)
I'm so glad it's inspiring you to find more ways to bring more raw into your diet. :D Wee!

Oh, Nathalie! Thank you for your love and support – I couldn't do this without you. I know, I've tried! (;
You know, before I read this, I was thinking about you and thinking of long-lost sister feelings and faerie dust. Crazy! I guess going raw is boosting my telepathy, too, eh? (;
*big hugs* I'm grateful to have you as a friend and a coach, and I'm grateful to have a partner who supports me in all my wackiness.
July 14th, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Aww, you're so awesome Kyeli and I'm so glad you're enjoying this crazy faerytale like journey to raw foods. (There's the scary haunted forest part, and the gold at the end of the rainbow.) :)
Ooh, that should be my next class/product: how to boost your telepathy with raw food. I think it works, at least sometimes I feel it too. :D
Yay for supportive partners, that's definitely a big deal. Hugs to both you & Pace! :)
