Namaste and Highest Holy Blessings-n-Booyah! Sussreekall and Salaam! Merhaba and howdydoo! I am very happy to be writing this note about what I have been up to, lately. (Besides my dufusesque-efforts at “book-writing”, dog-mommying, and my yoga and martial arts practice, etc.etc.)PLUS I played a secret couple-songs-acoustic-suprise with Jason at Vancouver’s The Vogue Theatre, last night! Sooooo fun!!! Not to mention Darr wore a tie+jacket he BOUGHT IN ROME (Italy) not a week before!!!!! LOL!!
What a kid! And he DID call me “Herschel” AND “Screetch” on stage! Even though my chemohair is growing long, now.
(And, FYI, my latest biopsy was “clear”!!! Whoohoooo! Gettin’ closer+closer to graduating!!! LOL!)

So, Lovebugs,
I am in Ottawa, thhis weekend. I will be speaking at the famous SIMPLY RAW FESTIVAL (Thriving on The Raw Vegan Lifestyle) and it takes place at Central Park-19 Clemow Avenue. I am STOKED!!!!!
Finally! To be surrounded by such positivity and good energy, fueled by LIVING foods, and really sharing a healthy sense of community- it is a DREAM for me.
I’m so lucky!
Plus, its HOW I FUCKING EAT!!! LOL! Y’know I do not actually have ONE person (well, not in my proximity, anyway..though I know a couple vegans but none of my “intimates”) in my family/friends/bandmates that eat like I do….no Raw, for sure, but not even one VEGAN or VEGETARIAN! And, as its always been this way, I’ve never really gave it too much thought or felt isolated or misunderstood….and I’ve lived my whole life practicing “non-judgement” of others..so I have never “judged” anyone for not being into MY lifestyle/ethics/shtick. Live+let live.
(And let’s be honest…no one else with the exception of my lifelong friend, GAIL GREENWOOD of BENNY SIZZLER,L7, and BELLY fame, has ever been “Straightedge” either. )
…But I digress…
(And in my own house I have my very own “seperate” cutting boards,knives and utinsels from others’) it is what it is and you know I never sweat the small stuff. :)
Non-judgement. Ever. That’s part of my own path. :)

BUT…..I am truly excited to be around a bunch of other people ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH/PATH as moi!!!! and I can’t wait to LEARN from them! Especially the founder of SIMPLY RAW, raw food chef/healthy lifestyle coach/author NATASHA KYSSA!!!!! She is so respected and admired, all over the globe! She is AMAZING! And-
She knows EVERYTHING!! LOL! I am so honored to be able to meet her and to be included in this year’s line-up for her SIMPLY RAW FOOD FESTIVAL! I feel increddibly humbled and fortunate.
She is an idol, a mentor, and an ICON and I am tremendously thrilled to be able to meet and work with her over the weekend.
Blessed be! Om Nama Shivaya.
In Natasha’s honor, I was inspired to show you one of my personal favorite dinners: the simplesalad. (See above photo) ingredients, here, are: torn spinach leaves, vine(or cherry) tomatos, jicaima, cucumber, celery,purple(red)cabbage,hearts of palm, fresh dill, squeeze of one big lemon, and love (because no matter WHAT you are making to eat, especially for someone else, you should put your happy/loveydovey thoughts/feelings/energy into your food-making: infuse the food with love=PRASAD and it is so good for us!)
If you pre-make a BIIIIG ssalad and keep it in the fridge, it will last a few days and you can pull it out all the time to enjoy.this practice will get you in the habit of eating more leafygreens, ytou know. (Just sayin’)
I am extremely PASSIONATE about RAW VEGAN EATING. I have a massivemassive unwavering belief in it’s benefits for the body, the mind, the soul, and the planet.
I am very in love with my way of eating and have been for over a decade. I always will be this way. Always.
And, for that, I’m grateful.
Come see why and taste the pies!!!!!! LOL! (There is a RawVegan Pie contest in the afternoon, dozens of inspiring speakers, yoga, music, etc.) It will be an amazing experience so please join us there!!!!!!!
And, because Natasha and the Simply Raw Festival are so awesome- the whole festival is FREE!!!! *beam*
With love, bliss, and abundant blessings to you all,
Sai Love. Hare Krishna. Horns. Nicklas. LOVE,

Namaste, Sussreekall and Highest Bliss to you Awesome BeautifulOnes!!!! Hola, Amigos! Guess what!??
It’s JUNE!!!!! (LOL! Iguess you know that.)
I am astounded by this. It is a GOOD REMINDER not to squander conciousness. You know- not to miss the moment.
Because THIS YEAR IS FLYING BY ALREADY!!! In a word: “holyfuck”.
It makes me take stock of my first-half of 2010, so that I can edit and refine. My efforts are necessary to me….
I am a SEEKER. I SEEK.
What do I seek? Well…better prices on organics+produce for one thing. Haha!
The whole “seek” issue is basically what drives all of us. And, let me assure you: I am seeking.
But how can I FIND what I am “seeking” if I can’t even DEFINE it??? Duh. It makes me look at my deeply-flawed self and my chatterboxmonkeymind and dig. What?? WHAT am I seeking?

Well….besides trivialities and the true path of MY TRUTH (as opposed to someone else’s)…I guess I’m not SEEKING anything. I’ve FOUND what I need.

And the truth is, I FOUND It a long time ago. And, if I may be so brave, I dare say……most of you have, as well.
Its already there, and it was all along.
Your own heartcenter. Your spirit. Your soul. Your innervoice. Your secret thoughts+feelings that belong to YOU and no one else. Your TRUTH.
No matter what is going on around you, beside you, to you, or within you…..you always KNOW YOUR OWN SELF. In ya head- you KNOW you. Or, you are getting there. We all are! Om Hare Yahoobaby!
It is pretty awesome to already HAVE that…because your own TRUTH is something NO ONE can ever take away. Ever.
(Not totally, anyway)
And if you lose sight of your guts/path/Truth you can always SEEK FURTHER until it comes back to you! Perhaps even better and brighter? Fuckin booyeah!
The answers are there. The questions may even keep coming but you KNOW your heart. YOU are your answer.
You are the only capable one of you. Be your best version of yourself. Every day.
You are the guts of The Team.
Your Own Team.
Just BELIEVE it until you BELIEVE it: you have ALL THE ANSWERS!
YOU ARE THAT WHICH YOU SEEK.
Trust me.
You RULE!
Know it!
It is YOUR TRUTH.
Feel it! Speak it! BE it!
It is what you’ve been lookin for!
(And in the photo I took, Nicklas is looking to see if the oil is visible from our StanleyPark walk…..THAT is a whole ‘nuther story…)
Truth.Truth.Truth.
And it is what I was looking for. :)
Conciously livin in this moment, I send each one of you my deepest gratitude for your friendship and attention. Truly you are my treasure. Thank you-merci-for that.
Experience awesomeness this weekend! You FOUND the secret to satisfaction: it is YOU! GO CELEBRATE THAT!!! *beam*
Bliss, Blessings, HareKrishna and Sai Love,
Love,
