Truly Raw Organic Olives & Oil from Northern California
Once again I have fallen in love with olives. Since having recently run across information via some fellow members of the spiritual community on how to prepare them without heat processing or toxic chemicals, I have been so keen to get some of these little gems – freshly grown from a veganic, organic, or transitional farm. Unfortanately, I have yet to locate any growers local to the area in which I recently set up shop (can they actually even grow in subtropical regions?) and they are not yet in season for...

Happy Solstice Sunday Supermoon! As promised, today I announce the winner of my Glass Dharma drinking straw giveaway! Before I announce the winner, I would like to thank you all for all of your wonderful comments and shares.

Instead of actually entering the contest himself after...

With my Glass Dharma drinking straw giveaway nearly at its end and Summer Solstice a mere six days away, this last week of Spring seems like an appropriate time for me to exalt citrus. Yes, it’s true that I love citrus all of the time.

For those who may not be so well versed in the differences between these two blissfully bright sunshine citrus...

Happy New Moon (in June)! Now that we are merely days away from Summer’s majestic arrival, what better time could there be to rejuvenate with deliciously nutrient-rich fresh juices? With everything set up in my kitchen for ultimate juicification (and subsequent enjoyment), I am presently in the midst of month-long juicing frenzy!

This month I was presented with the best gift ever, as an offering for my birthday/23rd Veganniversary/”get well soon” (how long does it take to fully recover from a broken knee, anyway?)/Lorax Communuity project & book helper – a Sedona RAW FOOD dehydrator from Tribest! I had previously owned 3 Excaliburs (two of my own, one Lorax Community’s in NYC) which were very helpful to me, but this one really blows them out of the water – especially from a raw vegan perspective. How so?...

This is my attempt at synopsis on how my “darker side” evolved over the years into development of philanthropic endeavours & eventual (ongoing) illumination. Statement of Disclaimer: This past Sunday marked my 23rd “veganniversary”. With that having been noted, I can neither clearly nor accurately remember a time when my life choices were not ruled by empathy, concern, and the desire to contribute to extension of joy toward all living entities. In fact, after nearly an entire...
