Happy Friday Friends!!
Any big plans for the weekend?
For Michelle and I we got our Saturday farmers markets followed by a cake order. Hopefully we can squeeze some personal time this weekend 
Michelle and I went for a walk today after our Insanity workout early afternoon and were talking about the future of our company, life, etc. It was great! We had all these great ideas flowing through out heads Working out does that to us.
I have come to realize that I have to start embracing who I am and where my life is today (and stop worrying about the future). I feel like I am becoming more and more at peace with the unknown. The unknown of what is going to happen tomorrow or a few months from now.
I have faith that my life choices and my life’s path will lead me to do great things 
I just have to keep believing and keep my head up!
It can be tough at times not knowing what the future has in store for me but than I really think about it and it is somewhat nice not really knowing what is going to happen. It is a little bit of mystery
Things that I have done today that helped me to embrace who I am.. are:
- worked out
- took a walk outside to enjoy the day
- said 5 positive things
- drank two large green smoothies
- laughed a few times today
- enjoyed some chocolate
- talked with my parents
- and did some yoga
What have you done today that helped you embrace your life today?
Eating raw foods helps make me feel my best so I am able to embrace my life to the fullest.
We got something exciting coming on Monday, well we think it is exciting
Till next time,

Love this, both the post and the yummy food pictures! YUM! It’s funny how much we can want to know what’s coming, and how to control it…when in truth it is always uncertain, and we are always “winging” it.. When I am centered in myself and surrendered to that, it is magnificent. And when I’m not… that can be magnificent, too, if I am very gentle with myself, which can be easy to forget.
Love all the bright energy you are nurturing and sharing!
Thank you Laura for your sweet comment!!
I embrace life and all it has to offer , and I love that you are embracing life and coming at peace that you dont know what the future holds, but you know to just enjoy life everyday and live in the now!
I have heard great things about vega protein, I should try that one day too! I hope the sunwarrior is good!
I hope you girls have a great weekend, enjoy being blog free on the weekends and cant wait for Monday’s exciting post!
xoxoxo Love ya girls!!!
Katie, we have heard great things about sunwarrior, and if Averie likes it then it must be great!! Have a great weekend too!! xoxo
Lori, this is a beautiful post. I am really excited to hear that you are embracing the “unique and special snowflake” that you are. I think the greatest thing I did today was to celebrate the potential I have to learn and experience new things. At 31 I took my first swimming lesson – as I would like to do a triathlon one day. It was incredibly energizing and exciting to see how my body can adapt and learn new movement patterns. Like you, I feel my best when I’m powered by raw plant foods. I’m so happy that I have discovered that about myself and spend a lot less time dealing with digestion issues.
Wow Lisa – triathlon?? That is awesome!!! You can do anything you put your mind to…best of luck with the swimming lessons!!!!
WOW you are so awesome! I love how you are appreciating EVERY little thing! thats beautiful!!
WHAT is that zuccini stuff? THAT looks so good!
Thanks Katie!! The zucchini is a raw lasagna that we made awhile back. It is soooo goood!!! Here is the recipe for it http://www.pure2raw.com/2010/01/raw-nut-free-gluten-free-lasagna/
Absolutely! You cannot worry about the future. Anything can happen. Enjoy the now because you know you have it.
You ladies are super resourceful. No doubt your future will be full of sunshine and rainbows. hahahaha. Cheesy!!!!
Have a great weekend.
Sounds like you’re coming into some wonderful growth! Good luck with it all, there are definitely uncomfortable moments (as I’m finding right now) when you try to truly make good changes happen within you.
I’m at a writers’ conference all weekend, excited about it, a little anxious but stoked.
love
Ela
Thanks Ela! Have a great time at your conference!!
Your list of things you’ve done today to embrace who you are is inspiring. Recalling all the little moments add up to a terrific day!
And oh my goodness, your raw food eats look divine!!!!
Oh girlies… thank you so much for sharing this!
I am feeling the SAME way… actually struggling a lot lately, feeling down – but I keep reminding myself to stay in the present and let go of the fact that I don’t know what the future holds – instead let it unfold the way it will with a sense of peace.
All the food looks amaaaazing and you girls are amaaaazzzzzing!!!! SO much love to you!
Thanks Heathy!!! Yes finding peace with the unknown ; ) Love u too!
i feel at peace in my new space and home. 2 days here and i am alredy more at home than i ever was in 9 mos in phoenix. so happy here and it makes me at peace
love what you shared about becoming more peaceful
om shanti!
good luck at the market tomorrow, i know you two put in a ridic long day on Sat’s. (well, all days!)
So glad to hear you are loving your new place Averie!!! I can see you fitting right in ; )
Ooh, I like that: peace with the unknown. I myself try not to worry or get worked up about the unknown, unseen. Sometimes it can’t be helped of course but all in all I love just living my life, being happy. Anyway…
All the food pics look so good! Perfect way to greet the weekend. Enjoy!!!
All those goodies look so good! I agree, raw foods help me feel my best. I took the time today to invest in that because it is fun and makes me feel good. I also took time with my spouse and my pups and kitties.
I love this post. Worrying and stressing about the future isn’t going to change the fact that it is uncertain. It took me a while to accept this and I’m still working on it.
All we have is right now! I’m happy you are more at peace with yourself and the unknown!
Thanks Jackie, I am still working on it too, but everyday I try to remind myself too not worry, just live life!!
yay!!!!!!!!! I’m finally learning to make all the fun stuff you girls eat at my course!! yummy!! I’ve been raw now for 8 whole days!! WOO HOO!!
Hope you guys are doing fantasticly!
Hi sweeties! Sounds like you had a lovely day! I definately need to take a leaf out of your book and start living for the present instead of worrying too much about tomorrow. Worrying about tomorrow kinda puts a dampner on the present :-s
You girls are an inspiration to me. Love your blog – thankyou
Loves x x x
I freak out about the unknown sometimes too. I’ve found when I just live in the now, things aways seem to work out in the long run minus all the stressing.
I love the eats! All of those look sooo good!
I think there must be something going on planetry wise here girls, as not only you and me, but some of your readers are feeling the same way too about the fear of the unknown. This post really spoke to me as well as there is so much I just don’t know right now, with where my life is headed, but recently I had a conversation with a very close girlfriend as to how sometimes we just don’t nee to know about later, we just need to concentrate on the now. Living in the moment. I am confident you girls (both together & independently) are moving in the right direction and this is all part of your journey. Just don’t forget to stop and appreciate the NOW

Okay, wanna know which photo really drew me in? Surprisingly, not one of the chocolate ones! Fourth pic from the bottom… Don’t know what it is you’ve concocted there, but I sure do want one! Share?
If I counted the pictures right, I think you are looking at our raw lasagna. Here is when we made it on our blog http://www.pure2raw.com/2010/01/raw-nut-free-gluten-free-lasagna/
I hope you like it
thanks!
you’re not alone…i use to be the same way…i needed control over the future…and i worried about things all the time…i was miserable…because you can’t control your future…when i finally let go, and just started to live for the present is when i was finally able to breath and enjoy myself…it’s hard…but it can be done. i am glad that you are becoming for comfortable with the not knowing…and doing things to help make it easier!
i love all the pics of raw goodies…yummy!!!
have a beautiful day!
