Pink Cloud is Calling: Let's Get Personal On Rawgoddess Baja Curtain Call


Just for you: This fountain blesses all your efforts today for anyone viewing this ... it draws in all you need to operate your new cosmic mission TODAY! So trust and clean house! :-) <3 <3 <3 xoxo


I have written here to my beloved readers: the heroes, sheroes, supergirls, Gods and alllll the innocent creatures and children of this beautiful blue star ... to anyone struggling to know they matter and they can dream again. To anyone who thought it was too late to have magic in your life or that the planet is doomed because of corporate greed so your broken heart simply ached for paradise lost. Don't give up. Let your vision pull you. Put one foot in front of the other and show up. Because this planet is not done until the fat lady sings. The show must go on and the Hero within has a shot at this still. For one, Monsanto needs to know we don't want to eat GMO corn designed to pop open the bellies of insects and kill them. We don't need to eat sterile corn or have seeds that won't reproduce. We want to take our food back. We will take our food back. We NOW take our health back. ... This is written to let you know I have not stepped out of the game. I have not left you alone, nor have I gone off to hide. I will help you and I need your help too. It's all of our voices, all of our gifts together that will pick up the pieces and make a better world. (Petition here.)

Now.

"This is your desk. And Bill is your uncle." Wherever you are, make a desk and get to your cosmic purpose! Even if going to a job you don't love today, pretend it is your "church" and you are the minister!

Good Morning Baja!!!

I am sitting here in my cheetah robe having my vice--hot black coffee (just one cup)--about to get showered and head for my new space downtown Los Borriles, Baja California del Sur. I get to play in there today because the sinks and counters are in. All my stuff is down there and right next door are "the veggie girls" as they are affectionately known around here. Yes, their store is completely open air under a thatched roof and the walls are lined with see-in coolers filled with produce. The tables and shelves are filled with coconut, dates, raisins, almonds, pecans ... there are also spices and honey! Everything just about everything rawgoddess needs to make magic happen in the love kitchen called Rawgoddess Green Smoothies.

I am grateful for this awesome (and handsome) Man! My business coach and Love.


Papa has supported me to make this go down like this.

No I'm not referring to Ernest Hemingway--although he, too, was named Papa by an adoring public. It's hard not to adore my Papa. In fact, you might say that this is how Rawgoddess began because of "It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This" miles clocked into the Papamadre clock ... and then the rawprincess came skipping along (or tiptoeing in high heels, however you want to look at it) and there was this collision of spirits.

A complex and heart-wrenching happiness and intensity wrapped in saltwater and motorcycle projects (I, more than once, tried to run errands for Papa and ended up dropping off the welding project to the mechanic in the sticks, never once did it occur to me I'd need them for the next stop on the list. So when I got there I had no pipes for the welder.)

But it is now 9:30am and my coffee is half sipped and cooling.

As much as I'd like this to be an intro to a chapter here on rawprincess blog, it needs to be a mere tease. A confusing needs-to-be-edited set of paragraphs some would say.

Nonetheless, it is a drop of fresh water onto the page for me this morning.

You see, I don't show it the same way as you might show it, but I am excited about my juice bar.

It's just been such a long time coming that I guess you could say I *almost* can't be sure it's really happening.

Maybe my self-esteem is so shot that this is what I feel like when I win the lottery. If so, every owl that ever came by to my window, every orange eagle that looked me dead center in the eye in Minnesota and every single birdie that chirped across my path insisting I go outside and connect with Mother Earth--not to give up just because Monsanto would like that ... has been right.

These creatures, innocent creatures of this planet have come to me and said to me that I'm loved.

That I am "not too small or too flawed to be healed" and that I do indeed need to share my gifts to my community.

I know. I so hate that.

But what do you do when you are loved and who and what you are is wanted and needed and is a healing force?

You show up and make green smoothies. You make big bowls of salad. You whip up raw chocolate delights and you put people on the treatment table and let energy principles--witness energy principles, be a facilitator for Energy Principles--do their innate wise things.

You are loved.
You have a unique way of giving to the community of this planet: local and global
You might not know this.

The late Arol Wulf once said to her two-year-old daughter Fawn as they were walking past me in the courtyard at Zendik Farm ... I was sort of shoveling the tunnel thingies where the grey water ran through along the rock wall and I heard her say as she looked right at me, "Sea is a beautiful person. Sea doesn't know it."

It struck me really hard. But she was right. And she may not know that it was such a plague that I could hardly step forward in my life in so many ways because I didn't know I was a beautiful person.



I don't think I'm the only one who goes through this.

Can you stop with me. This moment. And take a moment to breathe deeply into the depths of your heart, body, mind and spirit ... breathe this knowing into yourself. That you and I are beautiful and are completely powerful to bring peace, harmony, tranquility, health and love into this world.

???

Do it.

Let no one else's blunders bring us down. Let no one else's greed dishearten us. Let no one else's judgments or proclamations cut through our hearts. Because ...

Because?

Well, do you really need a "why"???

All the leading motivational coaches are saying that the first thing you need to know for "success" is WHY you want what you want or WHY you want your action.

This always stumped me. And I felt I was a bad student, doomed for failure because I could never really find a "why" for anything that my heart was pulling me to carry out.

Finally I turned it over to Great Spirit. I said, "God/dess, I don't really know why I'm sharing health and holistic lifestyle protocols. I don't really know why I'm doing any of this... maybe that's bad."

I said, "I release this to you, God, I let go."

"Maybe if I put one foot in front of the other you will show me why I'm doing this. Or you will give me that certainty that I care about this. You will give me that magic, that spark that seemed to be doomed by overwhelm of watching corporate greed ruin our world."

And yes, I cried.

But as soon as that was said, I got a tiny foot into the door of the pink cloud.

I prefer to live in the pink cloud. The world of fun and magic and healing light and bringing blue skies and smiling faces.

And as I was sharing these prayers and my "not being able to tell I care" reality, it was revealed to me that I don't need a why.

Why is about the mind.

What I have is a deep deep nature-connection. A soul calling.

Your soul doesn't know "why" it just is a pure diamond of light.

It pulls you to a vision.

For no other reason than pure love.

For no other reason than you are open-hearted and you are truly following that pull.

It's not a why. It's a HOW.

How will you walk in that light.

How will you share your gifts.

The community is not fully alive until each one of us comes out of isolation and offers theirs.

I totally understand the fear that what you have is too weird, or not valuable, or people will reject/laugh/throw tomatoes. I totally get that fear.

But pink cloud is calling.

Freebie Friday: Massage Giveaway and Hello From Rawprincess Baja

Yes you heard right.

Imagine instead of Black Friday a Give-Away Friday! Dubbed by Namaste and Richard Moore as the new "Freebie Friday" ...

AND I'm down in Baja but I tell you what--I'm doing a lot of lightworker type stuff here.

Yep.
Find me and get a free green juice. Just mention Freebie Friday. Come on over! :-)
So all I can say is if you want something free for yourself: a coupon, a full on gift-certificate for coaching, craniosacral, raw vegan chef demo, a juicing spree here at my counter on me .... you just have to read this and name what you need and I will put your name on my Freebie Friday Giveaway list and do my best to give it to you!

No worries. We can rustle up a salad! Shown here: NFRV
So, basically anyone who reads this post gets something free. Just ask me.

And that's basically the deal.

If I have to come back to this post later and add an "Editor's Note" in italics because I'm flooded with freeloaders well, power to me.

Bring it on.

If you are in Baja right now get your Freebie Friday in person. Follow the herd in the Buenos Aires neighborhood to Casa Fenix.
I was trying to catch the bougainvilleas here like my Grandma always had.
Me and Cabo enjoy hanging out while Papa launches his kiteboard.

Having a NFRV salad and solar vibration lunch.
But for sure if you're seeing this you just won a free gift. A massage or a foot reflexology or any of my services: pick one!

Logistic-wise it could mean you will need to ask for the long-distance coaching: gallbladder flush/colon cleanse or basic rejuvenative and/or raw vegan lifestyle coaching session on the phone.

My menu of services is here. My local Baja number is 624-108-4627

I am available in Los Barriles area, Oceanside / San Diego area, Los Angeles, and the Portland downtown and Metro areas as well so message me for my tour dates.

Meanwhile, here's some more stuff i've been doing here in Baja.

Blue Wave by Tanya is an organic market in Los Barriles. She has colon cleanse kits right now and some amazing handmade Damiana BodyCare Products made locally as well as staples you can get excited about: olive oil, nut butters, nutritional yeast, various tinctures and analgesics ... much more. And starting December 1 she will be at the Pescadera Organic Market on Sundays with green smoothies and energy balls. You might see me with her as in-house chef consultant extraordinaire depending.

Papa on his way to launch ...

Becoming the Brightest Light Possible .... Parenting and Salads

All the hard work this year is paying off ... we are together and thriving! See my new Listening To Parents Series at the  Rawprincess here ... (repeats every Tuesday).
Tuesday Gratitude ...
i am grateful for yesterday abstinence with a large mono-plum meal for breakfast, a vegan simple protein drink in the afternoon and a carrot-coconut blended smoothie-soup for dinner ... and a very early bedtime ...

today
i am grateful for prayer and spiritual writing this a.m.
i am grateful for the work i accomplished yesterday
a)getting fafsa filled out
b)getting classes registered for
c) getting the kitchen cleaned up
d) my food being for nourishment not feelings thus dropping a pound
e) getting the laundry organized
f) getting the treatment room cleaned up
g) figuring out more about my printer and computer settings going smoothly
h) putting my foot down with Zeke when he cussed at me that it's not acceptable and he can't talk to me that way--he can be mad but he cannot cuss at his mom.
i) insisting that if the kids make something in the kitchen they need to be willing to wash their dishes right afterward unless previous understanding for that meal have been made.
j) letting them know they cannot stay up past midnight online anymore.

Source of all being and light within and around me in unity i am grateful for being and for the cloak of humanity i have the experience of breathing while getting to remember my divinity.
i thank you for this opportunity to further create the life and healing practice i am called to be and give ... i thank you for the love which removes petty tyrants from my daily life and that i can see beyond the weird ego which says it's my fault and see that it is all bigger than that and see a plan unfolding as i turn to Spirit and Source then take the actions in love and courage and ask for wisdom and guidance moment by moment, day by day. i  am grateful for even the times i stray off my non-violent dietary choices and try out the cooked and non-vegan foods because i know that it satisfies the mind as it reminds me that light and sun-kissed foods are where my whole system is resonating and going. Help me to be with people no matter their foods and no matter if it is right in front of me, to have the presence of mind to remember that without judgment, it is just not what i am called to nourish my beautiful being with.

Tuesday Part 2
After two days of the kids holed upstairs doing online stuff I created an explosion by taking the laptop from someone ... then I did a great job listening to all the angst and sadness, listening and talking it through. Many old feelings came up which are important to listen to and heal from for someone and then some which won't be changed. (No, I'm not moving into a modern apartment right now.)

I called Teri, walked over to the gym and worked out, then came back and me and the kids hopped on the trolley car to get some dinner in the Pearl ... we talked over some things about new schedules and at times there was anger and tears all around... but we got through and are home now. There is a time limit on the internet and I am going for another walk (actually I had walked to the bank but forgot my deposit so I have to go back, argh!)

We shared a little chocolate and Z walked down and got them some sodas at the corner store. (He said he needed a little walk by himself) ...

Things are getting good again around here with their rooms all set up ... sure there are improvements that could be made: they need a better room divider and I need to stay on top of the boundaries around how long being online is okay.

But we got through this day with a lot less isolation than yesterday and we got through it with some laughs and hugs and plans for the future together...

I appreciate my boyfriend for supporting me on the phone also ... so thanks to the kids and Teri and thanks to me for doing a good job...

My Salad Gift to Papa ... A display of various yummy veggies feng shui with a scoop of intense kale/avocado/pepita savory in the middle ... 
Salad Gift Recipe
  • a bed of greens
  • top with veggies on-hand taking care to keep each separate for the energetic vibratory quality and elegant beauty
  • center scoop contains kale rubbed into avocado chunks with:
  1. nutritional yeast large flakes
  2. drizzle organic apple cider vinegar to taste
  3. pink sea salt to taste
  4. nama shoyu to taste
  5. fresh or dried herbs such as basil, thyme and a dash of sage
  6. olive oil

Wednesday Gratitude :)

i am grateful to hear from Hillari
i am grateful for the sunny nook i write in this morning in my paper journal
i am grateful the gym membership at school is all set up
i am grateful i worked out  yesterday
i am grateful that even though i had foods not on my spiritual path per se that it wasn't something that led to overeating at ALL ... (a big change)
i am grateful that a few bites of something i don't consider ideal didn't turn into an "oh well let's trip out and sample everything in sight until i'm stuffed" situation.
i am grateful for the 11pm AA mtg last night
i am grateful for Papa's thoughtfulness last night, knowing i'd be distraught if we did not have connection on the phone ...
i am grateful for Papa's insistence on changing some things in my profile which did not please him and which, by letting those things go, mean deeper closeness with him--and more stability and peace within my self.
i am grateful for the day with the kids yesterday and how i had more inner resources as their mom than i was letting myself believe or tap into...
i am grateful i am powerful and a healing force and for generous souls/coaches such as Lori and Danielle from which i glean so much more than Julia can give me today ... knowing the struggles and the way Julia has disappeared from an honest showing up in public really irks me but Lori and Danielle continue to show up and be completely transparent at least to the best of their ability and appropriateness which is the important thing: to show up and share your truth.
i am grateful that i can see more and more of my vision and dream for myself
i am grateful for getting honest in my journal about the underlying energy goings on about my leaving my dayjob. i can see how i really wanted out.
i am grateful for identifying some fundamental confusions i had walked away with when i was released from Mr M...
i am grateful for integration : evolution always includes but transcends the development which preceded ...

God/dess today is a day of caring deeply and profoundly for this temple. The greatest and the least. i am truly great, yet i am truly small, so small and in a sense "worthless" while being ultimately worthy of all the riches of prana, life force, needed objects and resources ... worthy of vitality and joy and the satisfaction of sharing love with others .. worthy of honing and sharpening my superpowers as planetary healer ... worthy of true love with my Beloved: worthy of tending to the gardens of passion, mutual self-realization and miracles ... as a lightworker my temple begins to feed on sunlight and oxygen and clean water and touch ... such substantial nourishment ... and less and less do i try to receive all my nourishment from heavy foods or overeating ...

bliss~
c.

PS-i am grateful to be in acknowledgements in Papa's upcoming new parenting memoir ... oh! and to be in picture for publicity in upcoming events, yay!! :)

Adoration uncontained...

Get your parenting groove on and RSVP for my new Listening To Parents series every Tuesday morning at the Rawprincess ...

Description: Listening To Parents is a holistic lifestyle support group which is free for parents. We do not have childcare at this time and as this a retreat setting for parents' self-care please do not bring children at this time. No exceptions.
I know that it can be overwhelming or feel impossible to take time for yourself and get away from your responsibilities, but trust me, you will be so much more valuable to that family when you get home from this that you will find it is worth pushing through that heavy rock of hopelessness to get here. :)
I am available to listen to you about your lack of childcare for this will simply assist you in figuring things out. Venting and problem solving are your birthright and in regards to this group I am making myself available on Tuesday mornings for these phone calls just before and after our group meets.
503-707-1641 or 651-319-7765
The inability to take time away for self-care is a huge oppression and is why this is not set-up for bringing our dear children at this time. In the future as we develop allies who can watch our young ones as we have our parent time separately in a separate room, we will have this set up.
I am a facilitator for parent groups (off and on for over fifteen years) using a natural listening process which honors and respects diversity and the inner wisdom you already possess. I do not give advice per se. I am a resource and do share information about ways of listening closely and relaxedly to young people and ways to resource one's self as a parent but other than that I rely on your intelligence to sort through this info and find what works best for you and your children.
I am here to back you in your incredibly huge job as a parent.
I am here because as I listen I, too, get a turn to be listened to: this is a mutual support situation. 
And the kids always benefit. 
Always.

Reesie-Safari WeightLoss Truffles Cheezecake

I started with the weightloss Reesie-Safari cheezecake ...
I thought it might have more shelf-life and be easier to eat this way: as truffles.
These truffles are for energy and have Chinese herbs which reduce "dampness" (excess weight is thought to be excess dampness in the Traditional Chinese Medicine arenas ...) you would need to eat them sparingly, of course, and use as a snack in conjunction with exercise and moderate calorie program. I have dropped five pounds this week (and five years, counting) using these key ingredients during the early hours of the day after I've already hydrated and worked-out--particularly after weight training ...

Reesie-Safari Weightloss Truffles Cheezecake

Put in food processor:

  • 6 dates
  • meat from one young thai coconut
  • about 1/2 cup of coconut butter
  • pinch of pink sea salt
  • two dropperfuls of vanilla stevia
  • generous sprinkling of raw cinnamon powder
  • several small drops of orange extract (I used Watkins merely out of convenience)
Blend until mixed. Add:

  • hempseeds (I used about 1/2 cup)
  • Shaman Shack "Shapeshifter" (A super-extract of Chinese herbs in a base of organic mesquite and lucuma powders) (about 2 heaping Tbsp's)
  • mesquite powder (4 Tbsp's)
  • cacao powder (I used about 2 tsp.'s : a lot less than usual because it was at the end of the bag.)
Blend until mixed well.
  • Spread onto a glass or pyrex pie pan and chill.
  • Top with raw almond butter and begin scoring and swirling almond butter into the top of the cacao base.
  • Press goji berries or favorite trail mix onto top. 
  • Sprinkle some coarsely ground pink salt around lightly.
  • Slice in narrow pie slices or small fudge-like squares.
  • Take the small squares and roll in fresh hempseed hearts making sure at least one goji berry peeks through the hempseeds on each piece ... leave the pieces loosely rolled for a fresher look.
I have a question for you: I am in the process of creating a Rawprincess brand dessert product. Please tell me in the comments or in a message ...

Please tell me:
  • Would you buy this if it was offered in a store near you? 
  • Would you come to Rawprincess to stock-up on these balls?
  • Would you like a demo class on raw desserts?
  • Would you enjoy purchasing the ingredients for these types of creations in bulk and at prices you know beat all others?
Do you need these truffles right now? They are available so give me a call or text at 541-490-0034 :-)
