When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

This became my mantra in early 2007. I began to fill my life with images and thoughts I painted in my mind’s eye of a more fit, healthy, beautiful, energetic me! Abundance in every realm of my life and the life of those I love. I was grateful for the gifts of these blessings long before they were actually bestowed upon me. And watched how Grace brought them to fruition before my very eyes.

With age 40 looming, I undertook to learn all I could about food and nutrition. I sought to find the missing elements from the numerous Monday morning diets that had failed in the past. Raw food was a pivotal spoke in a spiritual wheel. This was the table set by the Divine. I released 80lbs by increasing my intake of blended and juiced greens, fresh fruits, nuts, seeds and other food from Nature’s bounty. I became a runner. I began weight training. I developed a loving relationship with food and how it fuels my body. I found the tools to maintain a peace and joy I had not previously known.

Chronicling my experience by video blogging, I received a certain celebrity status amongst many on similar journeys. Questions poured in about how I was able to achieve and maintain such success. In answering this call, preparing raw, vegan family friendly meals and treats on video became a passion. This was the impetus for rawBellaTV, and later rawBella Consultations.

Today I enjoy consulting by offering support, advocacy and strategy for transitioning to a raw food lifestyle. I enjoy sharing recipes, tips, and educational trips to farmer’s markets, supermarkets and raw food restaurants. I am seeking to grow a network to support those transitioning into a raw food lifestyle with grace and ease. My prayer is to inspire others to seek healing and energy through raw food as part of the healing of community, nation and world.

Walk light,
