Summer sure did remind us of it's grandeur today. Friends dropped in for around lunch time and after that I decided to retreat to the library for the afternoon, found some great raw food books and had some me time reading the latest edition of Vogue. We have a wonderful library here in Ipswich - libraries in my view are the cities second most valuable resource after the people that inhabit them. Treasure troves full of knowledge and information and one of my goals this year is to spend more time there! Later in the afternoon I cycled down to pop some new stock on the shelves before the shop re-opens tomorrow. For those of you who don't know I run a little fashion 'outfit' called BoutiqueTrès Chic. I love all things pre-loved, recycled, upcycled and vintage! I started online and now have a space in the amazing Cultiver in the Top of Town. I am there on Tuesday mornings so come and visit if you're around. I wanted to share with you guys about Brisbane based Raw and Peace which was established by the lovely Ames. They provide recipes, classes and breakfast each Sunday morning at the Northey Street Organic Markets. I adore the Northey Street markets so another visit is definately penciled in! Lastly we've started a social walking group Tuesday evenings, 5:15pm - all welcome! It's so important to schedule in time to exercise - combined with wise food choices - it's the best health insurance policy you can invest in! See you all tomorrow!

a prelude...
With 2012 just around the corner it seemed the perfect time to embark on a 100 day raw food journey. The raw food lifestyle has been tugging at me for some time now so it's time to give it a blast! This blog will give me a space to debrief the journey day by day and the reasons for it, which will no doubt unfold. My own health journey is an obvious one, I want to explore how well I run 'on raw' and improve my commitment to the wisdom of Hippocrates: "Let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food." I am also concerned about the general levels of health in Australia - once known for our healthy, active outdoor lifestyle we are now competing for world heavyweight whilst battling an epidemic of diabetes and heart disease - both which could be resolved if we simply fuelled up properly and got moving again! I love the words of Gandhi - "Be the change you want to see in the world." I'd love you to join me on the journey! The next few days I will be preparing with departure date set for 3 January 2012 starting with a cleansing juice feast and then moving into a fuller raw food pallete... (the cake in the picture is a raw chocolate raspberry ganache I made for a raw food picnic last year - it was scrumptious!)
