My Intention is Clear!

This is a Great web site full of wonderful articles and there is always something helpful I get out of this site when I go there....http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2007/08/a-better-life/

Steave's site among others inspired my new mantra for every moment of my day:

I AM LOVE, TRUTH & LIGHT

Now I already new this, but it was the following words that really got my attention and helped me to apply my own personal truth to help me REALLY help myself:

Thoughts can only be formed in the present moment, and thoughts can only exert effects in the present moment.

This Did it! It really snapped me back into focus, and helped me discover why my positive manifesting ideas did'nt seem to be taking effect in my life as easily as I felt they should be.

If you are not living fully present in each moment, if you allow delusions like worry or anger to fill your mind and rob you of precious creative energy, then Intention will not be as effective as it could be!
So I wrote this up:

Right Now I am enjoying the Limitless Abundance of Peace, Joy & Wealth that is inside of me. This Truth about me radiates outwards to all of creation. My Abundance is Everyones Abundance and I reflect this Truth with Everyone and Everything Right Now!
I can Achieve ANYTHING I Dream, because my Dreams are Love, Truth & Light....I am Love, Truth & Light! We are LOVE, TRUTH & LIGHT!!!!

I Invite you to Join with me and cast all fear, worry and anger from your mind....anytime you feel these things just say: I am Love, Truth & Light....no delusion can destroy what is REAL!

Some of Our Family's Sustainable Life Goals

I wanted to share with you our dream of a home that fully supports the Raw & Living Foods lifestyle. We own 6.35 acres of property and are going to build an amazing home where the building is not financed through a bank. Why? Because banks want you to build homes according to their criteria-via septic system, well, stick built, plywood houses....These kinds of homes are not right for the vision we have for a sustainable home. We practice composting all our waste, food & human. So a septic or lagoon are OUT of the question! Why waste all that precious water, just for the thrill of a flush?

I will post a diagram of my basic house layout. A living kitchen is the of the utmost importance to us! Anyone who is a Rawfoodist completely "gets it"! We will have a ferro-cement water catch system for all of our water needs. Paying for a costly well or dealing with the potential of ground water contamination is a big concern for us. Around here well's cost around $5-6 thousand dollars. Some are even more than $10 thousand, depending on how deep the well is drilled. All this is money that we could be using for building our home. Right now we are living in a- 40 x 45 sq foot Cabin. The original cabin was a 10 x 20 shed. Then with the help of some very loving people we were able to build a 20 x 25 add on to the front of the cabin. Using double paned sliding glass door picture windows, (we helped another couple salvage from a hotel that was replacing all their doors) we put up our share of 8 picture windows. This really opened up the view and made us feel like we were more connected with our property and nature than the feeling prior of living in a cave. But with 2 adults and 3 children, 400 sq ft is still pretty small and we are ready to move onto bigger and better things. I will include pictures of our homesteading lifestyle and will be posting video's to go with our Raw Food Revue.....please stay tuned!

Ever filled with love, light & truth

Savory Mushroom Crackers

• Recipe by Dietrich:
  
  Two Portabella Mushrooms Marinated in Olive Oil, Braggs Liquid Amino, Garlic clove, Ancho Chile(dried Poblano chilies). Pureed with soaked Sunflower Seeds and dehydrated home-grown Tomatoes &Yellow Onion. Spread onto Teflex Dehydrator sheet -set at 116 degrees for approx 24 hrs.
  
  I found that one side was thicker, and had the taste of a really good garden burger, so if you made this in a burger patty shape it would make an ideal Raw Burger!

Delicious Raw Pasta Salad

Recipe by Dietrich:

Julienned 1 Med Zucchini, 1 Carrot, 1/4 of a Red Onion.
Diced up 4 orange Banana Tomatoes, 1 avocado.
Marinated it all together using 2 T of Komucha tea(in place of Raw Vinegar), a pinch of Celtic Salt, Squirt of Braggs Liquid Amino, Drizzle of Extra Virgin(first cold press)Olive oil, dash of organic black pepper.(tsp of Raw honey optional).

This is a wonderful salad for anyone trying to give up cooked pasta. The Taste and the Texture is truly Satisfying!

August 2007

Hello and Welcome to Mid-Missouri's First Raw Food Revue,
Brought to you by Margo & Dietrich Jakobi. Some of you may be familiar with my our first web site:
The Raw Buzz (no longer available). I wanted to switch gears and do something a little different. I have been very inspired by the Raw Foodist who have started Blogging about their Raw Food Lifestyle, which has left me feeling that I needed & wanted to take a more active approach on Sharing my family's Raw Food Experience with others. I hope this will be as inspiring to others, as I have been moved and inspired by the passion and enthusiasm shown by so many. Thank You and Enjoy! Feel free to write me with any questions or comments.

Sincerely,

Margo Jakobi
