Ahimsa Life Coaching Newsletter #8
October 2012
In This Issue
I am a Vegan Mofo. October was Vegan MoFo.
Maximus Veganicus: The Vegan Gladiator.
Chef's Special: Veggie Fixation
Vegan MoFo Madness!

Vegan MoFo - aka Vegan Month of Food - is a celebration of food that is cruelty-free, delicious, fun, of the plant-based persuasion.  It's a month-long challenge to blog as much as possible, every day optimally, about vegan vegan vegan vegan food food food food.  I took it on part-time and had a blast writing about my yum-yums and posting food porn photos of meals that went into my belly.  Enjoy my 10 posts that'll get your taste buds watering and your appetite a-roaring.

 


Tis' The Holiday Season
Holidays are all about fun, joy, giving, and receiving.  You know I love all four of those.

Keep an eye out for the next newsletter and on Kiss Me, I'm Vegan! for another Vegan Proteins review & giveaway! Also, a book review & giveaway on ALC. Double Trouble!

I wanted to remind you about the $50 G&R Bonus (below) you can get if you refer someone who's interested in coaching to ALC. Value for your referral, Value for ALC, Value for you.

Also, my school, The Institute for Integrative Nutrition will be have one or two discount enrollment specials over the upcoming holidays, which could net you $1500 (or more!) in savings. Connect with me if you're interested in learning more about coaching, nutrition, and lifestyle counseling.

Greetings!

Happy Halloween!

Enjoy this fun-filled holiday by getting into an exciting costume and disappearing into the night as someone (or something) else.

Don't forget, though, to come back and be yourSelf. 

You are your greatest You; no costume or role can supersede you.  So hopefully, in addition to enjoying your evening as Zombie Honey Boo Boo, Batman or Bane or Catwoman, Mitt or Barack, you're also enjoying the rest of your days as yourSelf.  

What do you love about yourSelf? What changes for the better are you looking forward to making? How can you celebrate You?

There's a lot more exploring to do, many more discoveries to make this year - and beyond, of course. 

Here's to an upcoming couple of months where you can grow, achieve, and enjoy the heck out of it.  And yes, it's okay to put it on hold while you dress up.  Just for a day.  Then get to it.
I Rocked, I Ran. On this day, I became a Gladiator.  October 6th, 2012, I participated in the Gladiator Rock 'N Run in Pasadena. 10K, 19 beastly obstacles mud-filled madness. I finished 34th in my age group (of 150 people), 107th overall (out of a few hundred people), climbed a 15 foot rope (for the first time for this used-to-be-afraid-of-heights and I-didn't-use-to-have-upper-body-strength guy), and did other cool things that Gladiators do.  I'll be featuring my experience sometime next month.
 
In the meantime, check out my latest blog post in alignment with unleashing your inner Gladiator/Achiever: If You Want to Fly, You Gotta Be Willing to Fall...
For those of you like to eat food that is the perfect balance of "This is healthy" and "OMG, this is the most delicious meal ever," read on.  Chef Christine Oppenheim gets your Veggie Fixation  going.  Get to know Christine in ALC's third interview and, if you live in LA, get ready to indulge in her scrumptious creations! (WARNING: Delicious Photos Ahead. Do not eat computer.)
 
Outstanding = You.  Please make sure my math is correct. by living a thriving life with passion and compassion.  Thank you for your support and presence in my Ahimsa Life journey. I hope I can provide you with the same presence you provide me.  Enjoy health, happiness, food, and dive within to unleash your Inner Gladiator, Vegan Warrior, Passion Protector, or anyone else that's a part of You waiting to introduce him/herSelf to the world! 

All the best and yummiest,
Steve
