Happy December! Wow – can it really be the end of 2011? I guess so, but it feels sort of soon. I say that every year, though. This year I may be feeling this way because there’s been some recent changes in my life and I may be mistaking “wow, that was fast” for nostalgia for what was going on in my life at this time last year, or maybe even feeling like I just let the year go hurtling by and had I paid a little more attention, maybe I wouldn’t be in this situation today. Oh well – the truth is that here we all are and December is upon us and like it or not it is one whirlwind of a month. Every weekend is all filled up with no room for changing plans or backing out. That’s okay – being busy has its upside.

This weekend our last group of Living Light students will be completing the first Science of Raw Food Nutrition Educator certification. Congratulations to all of them! And, if they need a study break on Saturday night they can watch Fort Bragg’s annual Lighted Truck Parade. This small town adventure is a great way to kick off the season, but wear a jacket! My former roommate, Amanda, and I are going to make a big dinner and let our kids hang out like the old days and then walk downtown to see what the electrically inclined of the town have been up to for the past few months. Super yay for the holidays!

Finding Balance by Kristin February 24, 2012
It this modern world, it sometimes seems hard to find balance in life. What’s a girl to do? We all want to create lives that are fulfilling and rewarding without compromising who we are “au fond,” as the French say. In the depths of ourselves, in our hearts, we want to make a difference, and [...]
Full Circle by kristin February 18, 2012
When Cherie Soria wrote her inspirational (and now classic) book Angel Foods, Healthy Recipes for Healthy Bodies in the early 90s she had to self-publish it, because most publishers were not ready for raw foods! She also made the decision to create a book that had both healthy raw and cooked vegan recipes. The book [...]
Wild World by mary elizabeth February 15, 2012
When I lived in Oakland, California I used to make a conscious effort to connect to the part of the world on which I was living. It was pretty paved over and who knew if those weeds under the overpass were indigenous or not. The estuary was right across the freeway from my loft, but [...]
