Before I get too caught up in the winter holidays, both of my children’s birthdays are this weekend. I usually try to postpone decorating, etc., until their special days have passed. I hold off on a tree until after their parties, for example, which totally backfired one year. Bridget had just turned five and Sean was only two and when we went to get our post birthday tree they were sold out all over town. This potential tragedy was averted with a quick, if legally questionable, drive into the woods. This year I’ve got my eye on one of those little tiny trees outside Safeway, of which there seems to be an abundance, so I’m not too worried.

We’ll say good-bye to our last group of students next Tuesday – sending them off in plenty of time to share whatever winter holiday they like best with their loved ones. And hopefully with some great new life skills, ready to begin the New Year all healthy and raw. I’ll miss them. It gets awfully quiet around here when there are no students. Well – maybe not exactly quiet here in the office, but at Living Light in general. Happy, happy holidays to all of our 2011 graduates – you made this year so special!

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 [...]
