Happy B-Day ROC!
Monday, October 3rd, 2011
Hope that you had an incredible weekend! The weather has been PERFECT, welcoming a fun Fall season filled with MANY special surprises! This coming week I have a very special surprise to celebrate ROC’S 4th Birthday Anniversary! Yes, that’s right! We are officially 4 years old! I’ve just added a new photo album to our facebook page, and we have two NEW You Tube Videos up from last week (found below)! Our very first fresh picked dates will arrive this Thursday (hopefully in time for co-op!) HORRAY! Also, these dates will be a great addition to your recipes to use for our EPIC EAT IT RAW IRON CHEF Challenge that has literally JUST started! What a GREAT way to pump up our BDAY month!
Before I begin to share the STORY of ROC, I want to make sure that everyone knows about our EAT IT RAW IRON CHEF Challenge that has JUST STARTED! Revvvvv up your blenders and start making fun recipes from your boxes because we want to see YOU eat IT RAW and share YOUR recipes with our community! We currently have 4500 members in our co-op who purchase boxes, and we want to see everyone interact with each other to share creative recipes! We even have TONS of cool prizes along the way! The competition is a 4 week competition, where each week will have a different theme and a different winner. The winner of each of these 4 weeks will then compete at the GRAND Finale at the Houston Arboretum for a final challenge to see who can make the best recipe in front of a panel of judges to win the super-epic prize! Exciting!
To compete, all you have to do is join or “like” our facebook page at www.facebook.com/rawfullyorganic and submit your recipes, photos, or videos! Sharing is caring! Get your friends to “vote” for your recipe, and whoever gets the most “likes” is the winner for the week! Please watch the intro or get all of the details by clicking here!
Because it’s our 4th birthday, I thought it would be cool to share the story of ROC. Not many know that our co-op started as a non-profit with 12 families in my living room, and it now runs exactly the same as it did…except with a couple thousand more families! Thank you EVERYONE for making this co-op a labor of love and abundance! YOU have made us happy, raw community! We are bountiful on SO many levels, and I cannot wait to grow with each one of you in the very near future!
Hope to see you all this week for birthday hugs, and I REALLY can’t wait to see all of your recipes for our EAT IT RAW Challenge!
Hugs!

My 6 Year Raw Birthday Party!
Monday, July 11th, 2011
I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! It was a busy one for many of us! Not only did we have co-op on Saturday with an abundance of fruity deliciousness, but also, I had the great experience of being able to teach my second EAT IT RAW class at the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center! The class was completely capped with 60 people and families, and it was truly a great time! Not only did I get to make some RAWSOME recipes for everyone to try, but also I got to share my story via raw foods! I got to relay my learning experiences in being raw to the crowd, and the event had a truly incredible energy to it! I have posted pictures from the event onto facebook for everyone, and I have even included one of the recipes that I made in this week’s newsletter as shown below. It was a fantastic raw birthday gift for me to be able to teach this class!
Speaking of rawsomely awesome energy, on July 15th I will be 100% raw for six years! Yes, that means that I have not eaten cooked foods in 6 full years! Crazy might you think? I have yet to be ill in those years, I run over 6 miles a day, I coach raw, and I love life to its fullest! My energy has shifted and elevated to a place that I never thought possible, and I attribute it to the life in the foods that I eat. Everything that I eat is alive, and this life feeds me to feed others!
Eating raw is all about changing one’s energy. Energy exists on many different levels. For instance, we have energy to do exercise, to function, to think, to breathe, to feel, etc. However, that physical use of energy is different than one’s aura of energy that he or she carries. Have you ever heard someone ask you, “You seem off today, what’s wrong?” Have you ever felt like you weren’t vibrating at as high a frequency as the day before? Were you sluggish and didn’t know why? According to the laws of Quantum Physics, we all have energy, and this energy is affected by our environments, our physical activities, our sleep, our mental states, and our food! While some work so hard to make sure that they are in good states of being, they often forget that FOOD is one of the biggest contributors to how you think, to how you feel, and to how you see the world!
Six years ago I did not see the world as I see it today. My mind has been filled with much more nutrition since then, and my outlook on life is not only more positive, but also more open and understanding to all factors and all living things. When we eat raw and colorful foods, our minds are also filled with those colors! We add color to our lives in more than just our bellies! Even your looking at the colors in your boxes shifts triggers in your brain that create a sense of peace and joy in your mind! Food has the ability to change our energies on many different levels. The higher energy foods that we eat, the more full of life that we feel!
There is not one fruit or vegetable that has higher “energy” than another. Granted, they will all have different calories and nutrient contents, but if you eat seasonally, you will get everything that you need year round simply by eating the variety out of your box. If you are unaccustomed to eating raw fruits and vegetables, all it takes is a few small bites to increase your sense of joy and value in life. So, if you want to feel more energy and a greater sense of happiness, EAT IT RAW! You can do it!
All that being said, I will keep this week’s newsletter shorter than usual so that you can enjoy all of the cool pictures and footage from this past week’s EAT IR RAW class! I cannot believe that 6 years has passed since I have been raw! I have nothing in my heart but gratitude and thanks to be on this amazing journey in life with all of you. Next week, I plan to talk about how eating raw actually provides VISION THERAPY to all who even look at the foods. I can’t wait! In the meantime, I have to figure out how to celebrate my raw birthday! If anyone has any wacky or fun ideas, please do share! This could be hilarious!
I hope to see you ALL at co-op this week! The abundance that we have is truly INSANE. This is my favorite season of the year solely because we have the BEST fruits, and we are rawkin’ it up!
Hugs and love!
Kristina
Do You Know Your Highest Potential?
Monday, June 13th, 2011
Are you HOTT yet?! It is sizzling outside, and I absolutely LOVE it! Summer is the absolutely BEST time of year! We get more sunshine, more fun family time, and more juicy fruits! ROC was overflowing with not only people this past week, but also with watermelons, cantaloupes, nectarines, peaches, plums, grapes, tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, and more! You either have melon belly or bluebelly, but hey…if the belly is happy, then you must be happy! When we are filled with colorful and vibrant foods, we can literally do anything to which we put our minds because we emanate that life! The more RAW that you become, the more you WILL discover your highest potential!
The theme of this week definitely calls for some inner reflecting. Are you ready?? In the summertime, it is only natural that more people try to get in shape, and many become very focused on their outer physical appearance. When we work on our outer physique, it is only natural that the inner-self cleanses as well. The mind and the body are connected. As we being to see all of which our bodies are capable, we also begin to see how our mind plays into that mix as well. What new positive heights can you reach? Do you feel mentally better when you eat more raw foods or more colorful and vibrant fruits and veggies? The answer is most likely YES! Do you know your highest potential?!
As we feel better physically, we begin to see all of the amazing things that we can achieve in every area of our lives! The world simply feels happier! Do many of us know the capabilities of our highest potential? The answer is NO! Very few people in the world think about ALL of the possibilities that lay before them. Many people walk through life “settling” to walk the path that has already been walked before them. 
Many people move forward through life with blinds over their eyes because it is easiest to avoid certain truths and avoid change. Let’s face it, change can be a scary thing, and it is hard to look in the mirror and identify with the areas in our life that need improvement. Few step outside of the box of their comfort zones to explore the options of their heart. What is it that you truly love and want to achieve in your life?
Imagine this world if EVERYONE saw and reached their highest potential. Can you even think about the amazing world in which we would live? The thought is merely astronomical! I see it as a world filled with inspiration and pure joy. It is a world where everyone has not only the clarity to see their dreams and inner desires, but also the courage to take the necessary steps in faith to achieve their goals. While this may appear to be a crazy and unrealistic place, this world is much easier to reach than we imagine. It starts with our food.
It’s simple. We are what we eat. If you want to feel alive, why would you eat something that is dead? If you eat living foods, you will be fed life–body, mind, and soul. Eating these life-force filled foods awaken us, and they cleanse out all of the unnecessary “evils” so to speak. How can we see our greater good and want the best for ourselves if we are vibrating at a low frequency? Higher frequency foods lift us up and motivate us, giving us hope and pizzazz! Food is our source! It FEEDS us on all imaginable levels. Take a moment and use your imagination to envision how eating these beautiful foods flow through your body, enlightening your entire being. Pretty cool, huh??
EveryONE is capable of living to their highest potential!
We may not reach or ever see our wild and wacky dreams come true, but we can definitely enjoy our lives to the fullest! We are capable of experiencing euphoria in each moment of our lives. Work on yourself physically, and the emotional will soon follow. It may appear to be challenging at first, but it is a mere growth opportunity that pays off! Life is an uphill climb! If you don’t know where to start, find a guide like me or listen to the inner voice within. First cleanse, then grow, then achieve. Reach your highest potential!
This is going to be an amazing summer week! With so much goodness and excitement around, I am simply on a different planet! I cannot wait to spend the week with you all!
