This past Saturday I held The Spread Your Raw Food Wings Class, here in Toronto, Canada.

It was so much fun and I’ve heard from many of you that you’d like to see a little bit of behind the scenes footage… so here it is!

Then you’ll definitely want to make sure you’re on the list.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the event, it was awesome having each of you in the class. :)

Mindful Monday is a tradition where we take a few minutes to reflect on the week gone by and the one ahead.

Feel free to join in the fun by commenting!

What Are You Grateful for This Week?

• My Raw Event Was a Success! On Saturday I had my first Toronto Spread Your Raw Food Wings event. It was awesome, everyone loved the food, and we got some great questions and discussions going. Thanks to everyone who attended, I am truly grateful for each of you!
• Listening to new music: I tend to stick to my tried and true bands. My usual go-to songs are from Sarah McLachlan, Delerium, and The Cure. But these past few weeks I’ve been branching out to new songs by Tegan & Sara and of course the raw-foodist Jason Mraz. It’s been awesome!
• Whole Foods Event: On Sunday I recovered from leading my own event by heading out to Whole Foods and listening to Yafa from House of Verona‘s talk on raw food and aging. It was a great talk specifically about grey hair, wrinkles, and cellulite. All those fun fun topics!
• Apple Fixing My Mouse: My mighty mouse hasn’t been scrolling for a few weeks now. I brought it to the Apple Store this past week and they fixed it, so I’m a happy geekgirl again!

What Are Your Intentions for The Coming Week?

• Much Video To Edit: I have hours and hours of video to edit, both from my event on Saturday and also from earlier in the week. I know that it won’t edit itself, but I’m putting it out there that it will be quick and easy and turn out magickal.
• Beethoven Concert: This week my boyfriend Robin and I are attending a classical music concert. It’s my intention to relax into it and really be in the moment. I tend to get edgy during classical music concerts, but I’m working on really enjoying being there immersed in the experience.
• Chinese New Year! Next Sunday February 14th (Valentines day) is also Chinese New Year. That means spending time with Robin’s family celebrating the year of the tiger. Somehow the year of the tiger sounds very exciting, so I’m open to learning more about the symbolism behind it. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Over To You Now…

Let us know what’s happening in your life: What are you grateful for? What are your intentions for the next week?

Comment below…

Ever wish you could connect with like minded folks, share recipes, and tips?

You can if you attend a raw festival or even raw potlucks in your area. What if there aren’t any raw festivals happening where you live?

It’s time to take a little road trip, and why not make a trip to Canada to the Simply Raw Festival 2010!

But first, it’s story time…

This past week-end I attended the Whole Life Expo here in Toronto, Canada where I met Natasha Kyssa of Simply Raw.

I had reached out to her a few weeks earlier to find out how I could get involved in the Simply Raw Festival that happens in Ottawa, Canada.

It was great to finally meet her in person, and to go over a strategy to help promote the raw lifestyle here in Canada.

So here I am, letting you know about the Simply Raw Festival. Woohoo!

The Simply Raw festival is happening in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on Saturday June 19th, and Sunday June 20th, 2010.

I am personally really excited about this festival, because I’ve been wanting to attend it for a few years now but the timing hadn’t worked out.

And last year the festival didn’t take place, so this year is the year!

More Details About the Raw Festival

The festival is free of charge, and it’s meant to bring in more people who might be curious about raw food or eating healthy.

You’re in for a treat with lots of speakers, great food, and enlightening information.

One of the most talked about events is the pie contest! Imagine lots of delicious raw pies for the eating. See photos from the last pie contest at the festival. Yum-o!

What You Can Do To Help Make This an Awesome Raw Festival

At this point in time, Natasha, her family, and a rag-tag group of volunteers (that includes me!) are rounding up sponsorships.

If you’d like to be a sponsor for the festival, then please email me or get in touch with Natasha.

Thank you so much, and enjoy your day!
