And the Award Goes to...

ME! (applause-whistles-and woo hoos!!). So what did I win? Well, I won a Brillante Weblog 2008 award! What does this mean? I'm not sure exactly but it's fancy and sparkly and means someone loves me and I love it! Special thanks to Lauren at Ginger is the New Pink for even considering me for this honor - thank you thank you!!

Gosh, I don't know what to say. I wasn't expecting this so no speech is prepared. I'm not even dressed up for it (no pictures please)! ha ha! I did toy with the idea of titling this post "My Plan for World Domination is Successfully Underway" but since I'll be sharing the joy I didn't find it appropriate this time around. ;)

Now the rules state, which I'll post below, I'm to nominate seven new people. At first, I thought EASY but after looking at my list I ended up have a difficult time choosing because as far as I'm concerned YOU ALL HAVE BRILLANTE BLOGS! Lauren also had this same problem so she nominated eight people (can I nominate 50+ people?). I did consider those who would appreciate the sentiment but not necessarily want the obligation of passing this along or posting the award on their blog. I hope I didn't offend anyone.

The Rules:

1. Put the logo on your blog (you can click here for it).
2. Add a link to the person who awarded you.
3. Nominate seven other blogs (good luck with this one!).
4. Add links to those blogs on your blog.
5. Leave a message for your nominee on their blog.

The Nominees:

1. Sara Beth at Eatin' Raw
2. LolaBloom at LolaBloom
3. Violet at Punk Raw Kitchen
4. Bad Ash at Raw Food Climber
5. Danieal and Shalee at 2 Raw Sisters
6. Lisa at Pixywinks
7. Michelle J at Raw Cool
8. IsleDance at IsleDance

Okay, I cheated too and nominated eight but seriously I could keep going.
Thanks again Lauren for my lovely award. Now to find a special place to show it off...

Hi Heidi - First, may I be the second to congratulate you!!! I just visited Jessica's Raw Food blog. I left a comment and noticed your name which looked familiar to me (must have seen your name on another site or on one of the raw online communities). I'm glad I discovered you and your site. I'll be sure to visit often. Have a great day!!

I think you're fibbing. I think this really *IS* your first step to world domination. I remember all of your plans and I'm positive that this was one of them.

People, beware! HiHo Rosie is a hooligan and there are shenanigans afoot.

I'm on to you, sis...

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow
