Igniting Your Life  

Cligence, customer reviewer on Amazon.com: 

"Igniting Your Life ignites a powder keg under your a**!

Igniting Your Life lays out gobs of truth (very safe for human consumption) especially needed in a society of celebrity worshiping, booze guzzling, boob toobers.  

This book expertly weaves a thorough line of quotations taken from many sources and intelligently ties them together into a comprehensive and most importantly workable philosophy towards living.

The book is not a "12 steps to" or "20 steps to" or gimmicky fake-n-bake program with the guy in his suit, arms crossed, huge permasmile on his face, that says, "I'm always this happy! Really."  

This book, as you read, opens up a doorway into another way of experiencing life. It explores. It nourishes. It inspires you to listen to the best of what it is that is inside you. Any sensitive person (and by that, I don't mean a cry baby) who has endeavored to do any serious thinking about life will laugh at seeing themselves in the writing in its pages.  

It has something very important to share with you."

Live Your Dreams This Year with Living Light!

appy New Year! Every year in January, many of us take stock of our lives, and evaluate our hopes, plans, and dreams for the New Year and beyond. At Living Light, we are constantly striving to improve our curriculum, listen to the requests we get from the public and our potential students, and offer new programs and certifications to help make dreams come true. No star is out of reach, is our motto. We do believe that anyone who has a sincere wish to make a difference in the world, and opt for optimum health and well being, can truly live their passion! We see evidence of it every day in our students. Check the story on Living Light graduate Jason Wrobel in this month's newsletter, and you'll see what we mean.

We are proud to be instrumental in helping many people realize their dreams and goals in ways they may not have imagined possible. We constantly see miracles in the lives of everyone who comes to our school. Our students' stories of how their paths led them to Living Light are varied and inspirational, and we are so grateful to know that we make a difference in so many lives.

This year, we've introduced several new course packages, to help you refine your goals and get the education you need to create the future of your dreams. And this month, we are introducing two new certifications: Pastry Arts-Unbaked Certification offered four times in 2012 and Advanced Pastry Arts-Unbaked Certification offered once in Fall 2012.

Our enrollment specialists are the experts to talk to - they'll help guide you to the program that best fits your goals. To get you started, we'll be taking FUNdamentals of Raw Living Foods on the road throughout the year. Raw food chefs, Alicia Ojeda and Brenda Hinton, will be in San Diego January 28 to inspire and educate.

As usual, we've got several great events lined up already, including the Hot Raw Chef Video Recipe Contest. Cast your vote and you could win great prizes through February 2nd! RAWpalooza starts on Monday, January 23, with over 40 top speakers in the wellness field, including Cherie Soria and several Living Light grads. And Cherie will be a presenter again this year at the amazing Total Health Conference in Toronto April 20-24. Cherie also plans a 15-city tour across the US and Canada this year, so if you are interested in having Cherie visit your fair city, now is the time to speak up!

If you are juicing this month, you'll enjoy Dr. Karin Dina's raw green juice recipes, and to add a little spice to your life, our culinary programs manager Martine Lussier is offering her low-glycemic, gluten-free creamy delight: Brazil Almond Chai Tea. We hope your year is rich and sweet, and we'd love to help you make it so.

Hava a Bountiful New Year!

Jason Wrobel was an early Associate Chef and Instructor Graduate from Living Light. He received his certification in November, 2005, and has been a very busy person since then!

A native of Detroit, Michigan, Jason still enjoys visiting his hometown, and finds an interesting culture developing there, with many transplants from San Francisco, Brooklyn, and other urban centers, relocating to Detroit to purchase affordable buildings, warehouses, art galleries, and other real estate and start conscious, creative businesses.

"I still teach raw foods classes there at least a couple of times a year, and enjoy eating at restaurants that use produce from urban organic farms," Jason says. "DetroitEvolution.com is a great website to check out. There is a big demand in Detroit, Edmonton, and other smaller markets - they are chomping at the bit and hungry for knowledge about raw food!"

When Jason first arrived as a student at Living Light, he considered himself sort of a "soup and salad chef." He liked to eat simple, healthy food, but his principle interest in attending the school was to expand his skills and creativity, learn recipe development, knife skills, flavor balancing, and raw food nutrition.

"I came away from the school feeling totally empowered," he says. "The curriculum at Living Light offers such a wide swath of comprehensive information. I left the school armed with a whole new skill set, and I was ready to move into my career as a raw chef."  Click to read more...

Brazil Almond Chai Tea

 By Martine Lussier  

This is a perfect beverage to savor and enjoy anytime of the year.

Because stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose, it is attractive as a natural sweetener to people on low sugar diet.

Ingredients: 

� cup almonds, soaked 8 hours, rinsed and drained
� cup brazil nuts, soaked 8 hours, rinsed and drained
3 cinnamon sticks
32 cardamom pods
32 whole cloves
� cup unperfumed loose black tea leaves
4 drops Stevia
3 drops Thieves Young Living Essential oil

Directions: 

1. Using a high speed blender, make the nut milk by adding the soaked almond and brazil nuts to 3 cups filtered water.
2. Strain the nut milk using a nut milk bag. Transfer to a glass half gallon jar.  Keep the nut pulp for further uses.
3. Using a tea pot, boil 1 cup water and pour over the unperfumed loose black tea leaves. Let sit for 60 minutes and strain. Add to the nut milk.
4. Meanwhile, add cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods and cloves to the nut milk.
5. Have the spices secured into a cheesecloth and let seep for 2 hours.
6. Remove the spices and add Thieves and Stevia. Stir well and enjoy!

 

Drink as is or warm. Will keep for about 4-5 days in your refrigerator.
