This past week has been one of the most amazing living foods week EVER! Let me just share a little bit with you, because the experience was beyond what I could sum up in a blog post.
So, I decided to take Alissa Cohen’s Living on Life Foods Raw Chef Certification class to dip my toe into the world of teaching others about living foods. Well, this was really fun and informative and delicious and I-could-say-so-many-other-wonderful-things. Miss Janice, the glowing teacher showed us a bunch of recipes and we filled up on living foods. The three hour class turned into four hours because the people were so engaged and we all connected very well. It was hard saying goodbye that evening, and as I walked home I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face.
After that great evening, I couldn’t sleep. I don’t know if it was the energy from the food or just the general excitement I had about raw foods. I knew I wanted to take the next step and sign up for the weekend course to teach others the joy of living foods. I was up until 3am just brainstorming ideas about classes I could teach, videos I could make, blog posts I could write, and people that I could impact. Well, what a great decision I made!
The Living on Life Food Instructor Training was an experience I will never forget. I reconnected with the glowing people fromt the first class, and two others joined us. What a fabulous group.
The space was really warm, inviting, and sleek. As I walked in, I was greeted with a hug by Janice and the other students. We were all smiling the whole weekend!
On the second day, each student gave a demonstration of their favorite recipe from the first class, Raw Chef Certification. I chose fettuccine alfredo: yummy!!!
This was the first time I had used a spirooli, and I was immediatly convinced I needed this tool in my kitchen. I recommend it. 
If you don’t have the funds for this gadget, you can also just use a vegetable peeler to make zuccini noodles.
Now I am experimenting in my kitchen and actually preparing food, which before this weekend only consisted of smoothies and salads. I can’t wait to share my kitchen creations with you, and begin teaching classes of my own. Once I attain a high-powered blender I am going to have a green smoothie class all about green smoothies and how to make them. I am emersing myself into reading, studying and experimenting all I can about green smoothies to better prepare myself to teach others. 
I have a few other ideas as well, but you will just have to wait and see what I come up with next when the time comes.
So basically since last Thursday, I have had a permanent grin on my face and a joyful glow. I am flying right past Cloud 9 to something beyond what I ever imagined. Everyday I wake up feeling more blessed and happy than the day before, and I can’t wait to see what comes next. Nothing can stop me now!
Oh man! It sounds like you had such a great time! I’m happy you decided to take the full weekend course, we need more people like you in the raw food movement. You glow so much I can see it in your writing!
Wow! what an experience! I would love to take a class like this. Just in the afternoon I was chating with a raw friend about a training certification course that she took in San Francisco! Is this a signal from the universe or what? hahaha!;)
Anyway, congratulations and keep posting your raw journey, we all, are learning a lot of it!
love and mango hugs!
Lau-raw
