I Can't Get No Sleep!


Its 01.36 of the first day on my second juice feast! I am so excited and cacaoed out of my brains, I can't sleep at all!! Damn. Whats a girl to do? Will be good to have a little break from cacao - that stuff is strong, I think I am a bit dependent. It just brightened my world post JF but in reflection I have been consistently on a cacao high for too long (cacao sends me to cuckoo land) and its good to come back to earth. What better way that pure green earth juices, looking forward to vibrating with the plants. Holi's been collecting nettles, I love nettles! They serious speak to me on a whole different level than other plants, but I won't go there, you'll think I am crazy.

I am fricking nodding like a drugee, cacao is bad! Need to calm down, Saf is giving us a written test tomorrow and I have to be on form. Could I name three advantages of the raw food diet? Shit, I have got to do some studying on that one.

1. LOVE

2. L-O-V-E

3. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!

hello hello i came across you through the lovely shel's blog...im in brighton land where she hails from and find myself enjoying reading inspiring blogs quite a lot...really feeling the need to start one since i have so much raw motivation and so many thoughts that need to be placed somewhere. *anyhow* i was wondering about the nettles too...simply because i feel they speak to me in a very magical way too and am trying to clarify and understand it, i was curious as to what you thought! had a magic juice with them this morning, cleavers, wild parsley...mmmmm
anyhow wonderfully written blog,
love,

Hallo Sweet A,
Thank you for the lovely words. I love Shell's blog, and I am glad you found me! I would love to hear your words, please give me a shout when you start blogging. I find it incredible the sheer quantity of kind and unique personal accounts in the raw community that are being shared over the network, it makes me feel so at 'home' on this journey. I love the discovery of blogging, even if it does take over 'reality' sometimes - waaaay too many good blogs to keep on top of! I think I might head down to Brighton next Saturday for Shell's gathering, hope I may meet you there?

Nettles; I just find them magical and calming to look at, wherever they are, they seem to attract my attention and I love the smell of dew soaked nettles at dawn in the morning. And the taste, rich herbaceous green magic for the blood!!! Good to see you on to the wild goodies too, thats where its at for me. Hsve you come across any wild garlic yet, by chance? I am crazy about the possibility of finding some in my local woodland - no luck today though!:(

Love,

Poppy

hi poppy (one of my favourite names :) :) and flowers )
yes you popped up in my internetland a few weeks back when i was also juiceyfeasting - i did a short one, 10 days, really wanted to carry on....after breaking it, am now feeling all out of balance, seems to be quite a common thing..and am being called to go back for more! (or less?) it's a blessing to have a reminder though...ahh i don't know, but great to hear you are doing more of it, i wish you many journies of wonderful transformations.
hehe, yes i used to be quite up to date with past livejournal ramblings many moons back but now there are just toooo many to keep up with, but all are wonderful little glimpses into realities! eeee how exciting that our -net-worlds may collide at a brighton gathering...((sooo lovely)) that would be great, are you attending the workshop or were you referring to a potluck? :) i am visiting people in milton keynes right now (taking advantage and loving the abundant nettley wondrous verdent greenery here) but will be back in brighton soon, i'm sure i will see you. so my name is not just one letter but three, in case you wonder who i am (amy, usually giggling or perhaps being a little shy)

yes nettles...i was recently picking some (hehe barehanded) and just the experience felt like a sort of beautiful meditation, looking at the formations of the four perfect top leaves like little green mandalas..and in the past whenever they crop up in early spring they just seem to glow with green magical rich scented freshness yes! not to mention being questioned by police for picking them, smiling blissfully and covered in glitter... hehe, funny and synchronous (tis the season) about the wild garlic too, i am also looking forward to that experience, no i havent come across any yet but soooon, soooon. (apparently easily found near water?) i did see some gorgeous bluebells today though. but slightly less tasty i imagine...

now, to have a blogspot blog or a livejournal. tehe. in the meantime, something tells me i may have seen you on give it to me rawwww somewhere, i shall give you a small nudge if i find you again.

juicy green love and a pleasure to *meet* you
)this page seems to be in honour of nettles. huzzah!(
Amy :D
