Thanks to Brandon Brazier and his lovely book The Thrive Diet for introducing me to the recipe for these energy bars and thank you to Hanli for first showing me the book (sometimes I take a while to learn lessons, hehe).

I basically used the first energy bar recipe as a base and then added my own tasties to suit me. Added shelled hemp seeds and LOADS of Maca powder, as well as some cranberries, sultanas, sunflower seeds, raisins and a few other tasties.

Can’t believe I somehow thought I needed to make eighty bars rather than forty! Ten days, four bars a day…FORTY bars Nathan! Hehe, have to laugh, I had fun anyways:)!

I’m on track, you dig?
I’m in tune, I’m tuned in, I’m all fired up in a red fire truck.
This bandwidth is wide open baby and we’re flying

yeah man, you dig!

So, last monday (or tuesday) I handed in my resignation at inSpiral Lounge, which was a little scary as I didn’t have anything else lined up. I still have work at Alchemy The Centre, which I love so so much, but it’s only two days a week (or so I though at the time). I resigned because I could feel that it wasn’t for me, I could feel in my heart and my gut (two communicators which are well worth listening to!) that I needed to let go of my work at inSpiral. But it’s scary you know! Thinking how I hardly have any money anyway and the safe thing to do would be to wait until I’ve found another job and then quit…I’ve never really been in to playing it safe, or by any rules other than the ones the universe has taught me: be authentic; do what you’re passionate about; have faith; trust; laugh a lot; love yourself enough to do what you enjoy…there are more but those are a few of the big ones:).

Yesterday, after work at inSpiral (I have another two weeks left there), I was sitting at a table filling out a form to apply for work at Wholefoods, a store in Camden where I shop whenever I can afford it. I figure if I can work somewhere where I get discounts on fresh produce, I can afford to buy myself awesome organic food to make meals with at home! Oh yeah, my cunning plan;)! So anyway, I’m filling out this form and Enzo, the head chef at inSpiral sits down at the table next to me and we start chatting. I tell him I’ve handed in my resignation and he’s surprised and a little sad and then says, “Well, I manage a cafe in Soho and they’re looking to start up a juice bar, which would need someone to create a menu of juices, train the staff and basically get things going…you want to do that for maybe 3 days a week?”
Ummmmm…..HELL YEAH!

Let just look at this briefly: I quite my job, which allowed me to tell Enzo I had done so, which allowed him to offer me a new job doing what I LOVE!!!!
This is synchronicity, this is the perfection of the universal language which is translated by our hearts, which speak to us always, if we only listen.

After work I went to Alchemy to listen to a talk by a man named Nick Good, who is good friends with David Wolfe, Gabriel Cousins and that whole crew. His website looks pretty interesting and his talk was great. What was more than great, what was fantastically and outrageously incredible was the energy build-up he generated before he began. he opened us all up to the most incredibly powerful energy I’ve yet felt. He asked if anyone had anything which they needed healing from, and when a woman stepped in to the centre and said she has RSI (repetitive strain injury) I realized that I could step in too for my wrist issues! I did, and a few others too, and we sat and then lay in the middle of this humming circle of energized people. I have never felt anything like that which was channelled through me. My whole body buzzed and tingled and sparkled with light and energy and intense sensations. It’s actually completely indescribable and I’m going to stop trying, because I was there and it felt like nothing know how to compare it to. My wrist is still a little sore, but i don’t even care if it got healed or not, the experience itself was worth everything!

Nick has some amazing stories to tell and one of them was about him living in the jungle in Hawaii, surfing and eating coconuts and mangoes…it got me thinking;). Soon enough I may vanish into the trees of bali and get really acquainted with some delicious waves!

For now though, I’m loving London, I’m excited about the new things coming and I’m SO EXCITED to be going to Kilimanjaro in January, which has now been confirmed! I’ll need to find a way to stay high raw while doing it, and I think that’s going to be a challenge worth rising to:).

Love to you all

As promised, my latest vlog:)
