It was a beautiful BEAUTIFUL weekend!

1) Being what I call a “new” family…just kids and I…we are trying new traditions. It makes holidays fun to do what WE want.
2) LOVE shopping, cooking and smelling a new meal and then sitting down to enjoy it with my family.
3) My ME time gardening or taking a bath.

I ate my way through VegFest too and returned to Seattle with loads of goodies. Man-oh-man was I stuffed. I felt loopy and out-of-body- like by the time I made it to the ThoraThinks booth, but I did buy ‘Garlic-Onion-Beet-Spinach-Mango-Carrot-Grapefruit-Juice’ from Nathalie and now I want a Thora Doll! I am also oddly intrigued by the thought of trying this combination in a smoothie/juicer. :o) What a charmingly, silly and sweet and fun book! She signed it for my little Nephew.:o)

For those of you in Portland, you should definitely make it up here for the Seattle VegFest next year!

@ Tenise Rae – Link us to your Etsy when you get it up and going!

@ Janine – Aw, I love this question because it made me dig into my archives. =) When I originally conceived of BA, the very first thing I did was sit down and write a ‘business plan’, Here’s what I wrote :

“Mission Statement: To build a community by offering both information and inspiration, in a positive, encouraging, and inclusive environment.

My Pledge: To engage in thorough research so as to ensure the information presented is always accurate, current, and unbiased. I will hold my integrity above all else, without being swayed or influenced by sponsors/advertisers.”

Yup, that hasn’t changed at all! =D

@ Squiggle – Good luck with the cleanse! Let me know how it goes!

@ Cami – Caramel NOM NOM

@ Nicole – Ooh good luck on the move! Very exciting!

@ Melissa – Well take it easy, and try to get down with the ‘down time’

@ erosan – Yay for fermented goodness! SO glad it worked for you! And give that baby belly a good little rub for me. =)

@ Laura Louise – Ooh, seitan is a fun one. it’s super versatile – have fun exploring it!

@ Hyla – Great running into you at VegFest! Sorry if I was too wired out on sugar to be very coherent, haha. Also I’m shy! But seriously, I’m so glad you said hi and it was great to meat you. SO what did your family think??

@ Kate – Barcelona = omg so rad, have so much fun! And pirare Waits will be coming to the next FFF. =)

@ Minna – I could not live without Avo’s, so hooray for that! And I too can’t wait for your sauerkraut – I want to know how it turns out!

@ Melisa – Yes! I used to be a houseplant serial killer but I stuck with it and now I can mostly keep them thriving. I do have some posts planned for winter, about keeping your inner farmer alive with houseplants! Coming soon . . .

@ Heather – Me too! Love the love lists! Your list is wonderful – blessings on all of it!

@ windycityvegan – yes yes yes on fall fashion BRING IT ON!!

Excited about…
1. My daughter’s amazing progress in the parent/child yoga class we’re taking (it rounds out our nightly mini-routine) – it’s amazing how strong she is.
2. Beginning to make this year’s holiday gifts – I’ve just finished researching the last of the techniques I’ll need and cataloguing patterns.
3. I cannot wait until it’s cool enough to wear inky black tights and boots (not necessarily together) with the gazillion skirts I just unpacked for the cooler months.

Excitement abound…love love reading everyone’s lists each week!!!!

Excited…
1. New love…I’m sending this intention out to the universe…I’ve never been more ready and I feel it’s heading my way.
2. Cultivating my yoga practice…it’s time to make this a major presence in my daily life.
3. Welcome autumn…I hate what you lead to – the white stuff…but oh how I love thee…

You mentioned your billions of beautiful houseplants. I’d love to see a future post (with photos!) about your favorite kinds and general houseplant care. I killed a Mother-in-Law’s Tongue once, which is supposedly impossible, but I LOVE houseplants, so such a tutorial (with photos!) would be really helpful. :)
