Hello:)
I don't know where the time has gone this week! Last Sunday a friend and I took a load of chocolate, cakes and sweets we had made to a local food festival in Bristol :- the Lovefood Festival. All our wares were sugar, dairy and wheat free; uncooked and positively health giving. We had a really positive time with great feedback on our produce and lots of interest in how it was made etc. Here are some pictures from our stall:
From left to right are crispy chocolate cakes and bars, carrot cake, and chocolate bars and halva:)
The next Lovefood festival is on 20th July and we're planning to be there again with smoothies and dairy-free, soya-free and sugar-free gelato (similar to ice cream) on offer too! Unfortunately Jana couldn't come with me last Sunday as she was feeling a little under the weather. But, she is keen to come to the next one:)
Since Sunday I have been knuckling down to write the webpages for a home-run web-based business I am setting up, to share recipes, tips, kindness and encouragement for creating healthy fun treats to nourish children of all ages:) This is a big step for me emotionally and I have had a stiff shoulder for most of the week which usually indicates that I have been storing up emotion that is needing to shift. The process of writing, along with some acupuncture, has released a lot of the stiffness, so things are shifting!
As a qualified veterinary surgeon (with great interests in acupuncture, natural nutrition and conservation medicine),the health and wellbeing of humans and animals is a great passion of mine. Us humans can impact so positively on the world, especially when we learn to care for ourselves and have real fun:) I feel priviledged to be in a position to share my knowledge, passions and experiences in a positive way.
I truly believe that with the right tools and support we can take charge of our own, our family's and our animal's health and wellbeing. Cultivating a commitment to natural nutrition and a positive, compassionate attitude of mind (including lots of fun and laughter) are fundamental aspects of this for me. It is especially important to cultivate this commitment in respect to ourselves, no matter how difficult this may seem:)
I will sign off just now. Hope this finds you well and I'll be back soon with a recipe or two to share.
Take care and be well,
Shona :)
