The emails are coming in for new Positive Arts projects. Spring is bringing abundance in many ways.

One of my best friends came to visit me here in Canada all the way from Missouri! We toured the city and ate dinner at a fancy restaurant. Let’s just say we didn’t eat for optimal health, but the laughter and good conversation made up for it in many ways. I find that being obsessed about food is not healthy, so I won’t dwell on what I ate. Instead, as I drink liters of water I remember the gorgeous view of the city during the sunset. Can I say PRICELESS?!

Here is what I have been up to lately, besides the Vancouver tour and fancy dinner:

The “Swami-G” and “Pink Passion” are just a few menu items I am memorizing right now. Why?

I got a job!

A cool, healthy, juicy one at that! Sejuiced is a cute little vegetarian cafe with a juice bar. It is only a few blocks away from my Vancouver apartment and it has a mostly vegan menu with RAW options. OH! And the BEST part is the juice bar!!! The name says it all

Tomorrow I go in for my training shift, learning all about the massive juice machine. It seems a bit intimidating, but very exciting at the same time. Hopefully I get a discount on the food, and maybe I will even be inspired to do a juice feast. One thing I am manifesting at the moment is a place to teach others about raw foods. This new opportunity will allow my healthy network to expand and I just might manifest the right people to start my raw food classes.

Now, Steve Pavlina fans and other independent spirits might not be celebrating with me here on my new juicy job. Let me explain my reasoning for why this job is an awesome opportunity for me:

Have I told you about my dream? If you have been following my blog, you may know that my background is in architecture. I wasn’t able to find a place to begin my architecture career, so I have used this down-time to renew my focus on what I want out of life. Rediscovering my love for the gracious movement of the human body, yoga is my new love (dance being my background). The more I learn and practice yoga, the more I find myself wanting to become a yoga teacher.

Also, on this raw foods journey I am becoming more knowledgeable about the subject and want to share my experience with others. This blog is one way to do this, but I want a more personal relationship. This is when I decided teaching raw food classes would be ideal, supplemented with support groups and individual coaching. So, as I gain more experience and start collecting resources, I have a plan. A plan to move back home (Missouri) and open a yoga studio and juice bar. This place will also be available for weekend events, retreats, workshops, lectures, and more. Right now there is not an organized group in my area for the raw food movement, so I hope to begin an organization as well. This will hopefully bring in some interest for the “celebrities” to come and visit to share their knowledge as well. The main goal for this place is to share the power of raw foods and help others to take control of their health! Most people in the Midwest have not heard of raw food, don’t know much about a vegan diet, and only know yoga as a new age way to exercise.

So, bring in Sejuiced… This will be a place for me to learn a BUNCH about how a small food establishment works, as well as learn the basics for making many kinds of juices and vegan dishes. Also, I don’t have much experience handling food which can help me as I begin organizing my raw food classes.

Feel free to comment about any thoughts, suggestions, concerns, ideas, support, or questions about my new job and DREAM LIFE! You are witnessing my dreams bloom right on this blog as I type and make my ideas become tangible and trackable. Now that my goals are documented, I have a place to come back and read what I was thinking at this time. I am sure certain things will change, but the general dream will always be there. Many more posts about my life dream will be here as I visualize more possibilities and begin designing the space in my head. Stay tuned, friends
