Just For Fun.....Dream BIG

[Penni]

I'm getting excited about the Big Giveaway Extravaganza that will be taking place next Friday!  I already have some really wonderful and exciting things lined up for you, but today I want to ask you to tell me what YOU WANT!

If you could have anything to help support you on your raw food  and optimum health journey, what would it be?

In the comments below, share with us what's on your wish list and feel free to add it all. I think it's fun to dream, because I do believe that dreams really can come true!!

(thought starters.....books. DVD's, equipment, exercise stuff, gadgets, snacks, etc....)

This will be fun!

Without hesitation I would like to have an open chat line. I find myself feeling alone and if there is someone in the room that I can chat with before I go to eat the chocolate coverd granola that may be helpful. I know that the chat line is not a whole lot different than the discussion groups but the chat line would be more like a crutch for me at this point.

A link to watch some mini wellness videos would be nice. (very mini... like 10 minutes)

If you have some alunmi RFR folks you could do a mini interview audio of what motivated them, what worked super well for them and what has helped them stay RAW.

I would find an interview, video or audio of some exercises with the big rubber bands helpful. I need to be successful at some of the smaller exercises. I put too much pressure on myself to do 30 minutes on the treadmill and then I inevidabley I fail. Then my self esteem goes down.. and on and on and on. Smaller success steps would be the best for me. I have fibromyalgia, so I need exercise for slow methodical strength at this point. HEY... Maybe we could meet on the chat, have some general discussion (good morning, afternoon and night) and then make a packed that we will leave the chat right now... do the exercise and then check back in the chat when we are finished to reward ourselves with positive support for eachother. we could even do a wee video of ourselves exercising and make it humorous. I need music and laughter +++++.

Hope this is helpful for others too. Who knows for sure?

I want a dehydrator and a greeeeeens juicer!

I'd love Angela Monarch's fave books on Anastasia and/or her Juice Feasting Guide booklet. ;) xo thx for asking!

[Alisen]

Wow! This was a fun discussion to read, lol! As for what I would could really use... as a "newbie" a juicer would be wonderful! Also a dehydrator. The idea of books, including the e-books would be great! Coconuts would be lots of fun, although I figure getting anything produce related through customs (to Canada) would be.... um... difficult :) The one other thing that I would also love is some of the raw "staples" such as maca, cacao powder or the cacao nibs (anything chocolate really :))

Anything to help me get back to being healthy and lose weight is what I would love :) Thank you!

I am dreaming of a Blendtec!

[Debbie Jackson Wagers]

Menu plans with attached recipes and grocery lists. I've used these before. They make everything so much easier. By the day would offer a lot of flexibility, though by the week would afford convenience if you are pressed for time.

A weekly exercise menu with a lot of variety. Along the same lines as above.

Since the above probably doesn't actually exist yet! Maybe I need to create them!

Raw food t-shirts and travel-size smoothie blenders!

If I could have anything to help support me on my raw food and optimum health journey, I would love a raw buddy who I could uncook with, shop for raw ingredients with, and recipe-experiment with! We would keep each other inspired. I would also have a dehydrator and a Blendtec (or Vitamix). :-) Oh, and a coffee-grinder for my flax and nut mylk bags! And I would be able to GO HOME to America and be around like-minded friends!

[Darlene Mathews]

Yes...Angelique - I am with you on... reinforcing the lifestyle of natural living. To make some money while promoting it, would be nice. I would like a retreat or a chef for a few months to integrate without too much temptation.

To earn a living in and around raw foods and natural living! That would be my biggest support, the best way to keep reinforcing these lifestyle changes for LIFE!

[Steph Christian]

Ok....I'm gonna go REALLY big and say that I want EVERYTHING EVERYONE else has said!!!! You all have WONDERFUL big dreams!! ;) Buuuttttt.....if I had to chose, it would be a 1. fully paid scholarship to full raw chef training, and a smaller scale would be a 2. fully paid retreat at a health facility (I live in Florida so the Hippocrates Health Institute would be AMAZING!! :)

[Jana]

....yep, what Meredith said. If someone would just do the "cooking" & cleaning!

Meredith said:

I'd like maid service and a personal raw chef for life! :-))

[Homeschooling Razorback]

I'm with veganforlife, young coconuts and it would be great to have a hefty gift card to whole foods market:-)

[Terri Mares]

OOOoooh, let's see. I'll be using present tense, as if I already have it:

1. Freedom. I have plenty of money. Money equals freedom. I experience all lucritive play and no work, and when I want to go someplace or do something, I know that I can because the money is there. When I want to buy a thing, like a Vitamix, the money is there. When I want to invest in somebody, or give to some cause, the money is there. I have the freedom to make choices that are based on my heart's desires.

2. Romantic Love. I have a man who thinks the world of me and loves being in my company. He's tall and has teeth. He is post appocolyptic, loves vegetables, smart, and admirable. I am incredibly attracted to him, and the feeling is mutual. He is physically healthy.

3. Healthy Family. I have a family that makes exceptionally wise choices in what they eat, how they react to stress, and what healers to visit when necessary. I never have to worry about them taking care of themselves. They love the foods I prepare for them, and they prepare fabulous foods for me when I visit.

4. In Demand. I am consulted often and requests are made for the things I'm good at. I'm busy having fun doing voice work on animated films, documentary films, and philanthropic commercials. People are always wanting advise regarding diet and raw food, alternative building materials, or Law of Attraction. I often travel to exotic and far off places teaching these things, or showing someone E. F. T. or performing voice overs.

5. Travel. My lucrative play takes me all over these United States, and sometimes, out of country. I get to stay in some awesome Hotels. I get to experience culture first hand, and try local fruits and vegetables everywhere I go.

6. Staff. I'm able to play at all of this because all of the necessary day to day things are taken care of for me. My personal assistant plans my calendar, pays my bills, and takes care of staff operations at "home." My Raw Food Chef finds the freshest local produce in any given location and creates fantastic meals. My housekeeper/gardener holds down the fort as I travel, so that when I do come to the "home base" for some R&R it's tidy and clean.

7. Home on the road. I'm traveling so much that I call whatever Hotel I'm in "home." When I talk about the quaint little place I own very close to my granddaughter, I call that "home base." Three people travel with me most of the time. My love, my personal assistant, and my chef. They make it so that no matter which city I am in, it is home.

Noting original here, but I'd love:

A top quality juicer, blender and dehydrator.
And then a year's worth of stuff from my local health food store.
And why not a vacation with some raw food cooking lessons & creative fun.

:)
