News on the Contest(s)!!
Just popping in to let you know that I’ve been working super hard for you all!! Before the end of this month, HealingwithJuices.com will be hosting our first ever contest! That’s right! I haven’t decided which of the prizes I’ve received so far will be offered in this first giveaway, but I’m reviewing the products right now and will be posting about this month’s contest prize soon. Once I post the review, you’ll know what’s up for grabs and the contest will begin! I’ll be using Random.org to generate the contest winners. When the winner is decided, the lucky Healing with (Raw) Juices’ reader will be receiving their prize(s) in the mail (yeah, some of these contests will be offering combo prizes and you’ll receive more than one gift at once!). Yipee!
I’m bursting at the seams and would love to spill the beans about what these prizes are–but that’d spoil the fun for you!! How about a little hint? Some of these products are from Raw Food Chefs!! Eeek!!! How exciting, eh?
Spring has Sprung!
Spring is here, y’all! And I’m so super excited to be able to bring these amazingly healthy prizes to you. Life is precious; it’s what we make it. Let’s make it the best we can so we can live long, happy and healthy lives on this beautiful Earth!
Sneak Peek at Amish farm critters!!
If you remember my confessions from an Amish farm post, you might like seeing a couple of the critters: mama sheep and her baby lamb. Aw!! So sweet!!!
I’m getting lots of questions about when the Amish blog will be up and running (and I don’t mind them at all!!). Well, with my writing assignments, chores on the farm, and all these upcoming contests, I’m falling behind on my blog work. I assure you that the Amish blog will be worth the wait–and as soon as I figure out all the video/podcasting stuff you’ll get to see for yourself why I’m so scarce around the blogosphere lately.

Here’s to life, health, and healing with (RAW) juices!!
New Design
As you’ve probably noticed, this site recently received a fresh design–compliments of Heather, at Goofy Girl Designs. I love her creative mind, her bright designs, and she’s such a cheerful soul to work with! I can never say enough good things about her…. Anyway, I adore what she’s done with the place, don’t you?!
Contest Giveaways
I’ve been trying to contain myself and keep this hush-hush, but I’m bursting at the seams and can’t keep the news quiet any longer! I’m thrilled to announce that some awesome contests are in store for Healing with Juices’ readers. I will keep the prizes secret, but I can tell you that the gift(s) winners will receive are quality and will most certainly help you either maintain or improve your health.
Newsletter
I’ve decided to offer a newsletter. It’ll be published monthly and will highlight the previous month’s topics, as well as new information that wasn’t covered here. And I’ll also be sharing products and/or books I love find helpful for a healthy lifestyle. I’m going to update on the status of the newsletter after I decide what prize will be offered to the lucky winner. Yes, there’ll be a special contest for those who sign up for the newsletter!
What a Blessing!
Isn’t this all so exciting? I am so passionate about health and helping others obtain better health. I desire to be your encouragement, inspiration, motivation, and quality resource as you strive to either maintain or achieve your ultimate health. It’s such a blessing to be able to pour my heart and soul into this site–and your lives!–and watch my passion grow, change, improve, and succeed.

I’m a Raw People!!
In January, I was welcomed to the team at Raw People. I’m truly honored to be a part of this amazing site. There aren’t enough fantabulous words to describe working with this wonderful team of health-minded people. They are extremely kind, and are such a blessing in my life! I count it a major blessing to be involved in this healthful, raw project. I have eaten 100% raw for a few months at a time during my health journey. I’ve also juice fasted extensively, which most of you know. So, to be on this Raw Lifestyle team and have the opportunity to share what I’ve learned in my own studies and from my own experiences, as well as glean from the knowledge of the other team members, is just awe-inspiring to me…
So, what do I do on this team? I am a contributing writer and have written on a few different topics: juice fasting, (of course!), raw beauty, raw remedies, and am branching out into other topics to be published soon, like organic gardening and weight loss. You can see everything I’ve written for Raw People so far by visiting my list of articles.

Previous Article: Confessions from an Amish Farm
By
Yes, you read that title right. I’m confessing that I’m living on an Amish farm…. I know you’ve wondered where I have been, why posts haven’t been published as often as they used to, and why the juicing ebooks are still on hold. So, now you know why: I’m living on an Amish farm–without electricity! Amazing, eh?
Check out the windmill. Isn’t it beautiful?

Freelancing is pretty crazy on an Amish farm. Cherish your office. Seriously. I’ve somehow managed to get my assignments in on time, though.
If you’re thinking this is crazy, imagine how I feel. I still can’t comprehend the fact that I’m actually living in an Amish-built house on an Amish farm–without electricity. Did I mention there’s no electricity? Well, the Amish don’t wire their homes. There’s no plug ends, no light switches, no super duper easy and convenient modern amenities…
So, here’s the million dollar question: why? Why would I give up convenience? That’s what you want to know, right? Well, haven’t you ever wished you could sit on an old-fashioned porch in the country where life is simple, days are quiet, and you can sip iced tea while watching the clothes gently sway this way and that on a clothes line like your grandmother talked about? Have you dreamt of lessening your carbon footprint, doing more to preserve the environment, and living as green as you possibly can?
I realize this life isn’t for everyone. Some days I think it isn’t for me either. But for all the sacrifices, there are so many more rewards. Yes, sometimes I think I’d pay a million dollars for a plug end if I had that much money to spare. Other days I realize how truly blessed I am and wouldn’t trade my life–missing plug ends and all!–for all the money or anything in the world.
Your second question is probably: so, how do you get on the Internet; how do you charge your laptop? (Okay, that’s TWO questions.) Well, there’s an answer for them, too! For the Internet, I use a USB modem. It is limited, though, so sites like YouTube really gobble up the usage I’m allowed. And I charge my laptop compliments of solar panels and/or wind generators. Yes, the sun and wind are awesome resources and although it still blows my mind that the sun and wind can charge a panel and travel through a wire to then juice my laptop up with energy so I can continue writing and blogging, I’m forever grateful that it’s possible! It’s almost like magic, really.
There you have it. This is my confession. And, let me tell you… Amish living is HARD WORK!! The Amish community is fascinating, though–and yes, horses and buggies are to and fro all the time!
What’s that? You wish you could read even more about life on an Amish farm? Really? You’re in luck! A new blog is in the works. It’ll document day-to-day events on an Amish farm. I’ll be sharing the link here when it’s live. Be sure to subscribe (see the end of this post or the top of the sidebar to your left, for subscription options) so you can be one of the first to visit!
In writing news…
I have a couple of stories in the latest Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader: Uncle John’s Certified Organic Bathroom Reader

Next time, we’ll get back on topic with raw juices, smoothies, and juice fasting–promise!

2009 is really bringing fabulous things to HealingwithJuices.com! First, Wellsphere.com added me to their network – as a Top Health Blogger. Now, you’ll find this very blog listed in the health section of Alltop.com. Yes, I’m serious!
What is Alltop?
Alltop.com tells us on the homepage that they are an “online magazine rack” of popular topics. They focus on bringing readers all the top stories by bringing the most recent information, updated every hour.
Who Are “They”?
Guy Kawasaki is the Founder of Alltop.
What Can I Find at Alltop?
From browsing around Alltop, I see like a gazillion topics. Seriously. You can’t check everything out in one visit – or even ten!
They’ve listed the following categories:
Once you click on any of the categories, you’re taken to another page where the categories are broken down. Take the Health section, for instance. You’ll find information on addiction, cancer, and nutrition, just to name a few. It’s quite fascinating, really!
I’m truly honored for HealingwithJuices.com to be a part of this amazing network. You’ll see I’ve proudly displayed the Alltop badge in the sidebar, and I’ve even decided to share the following widget that continuously rotates the latest health content available.

Healing with Juices Joins the Wellsphere Community
You probably noticed the new badge in the sidebar. I’m excited to share that I’ve been selected as a Top Health Blogger in the Wellsphere Health Community! I was told it’s because of the “quality of this blog and my passion for all things health-related.” Since HealingwithJuices.com focuses on raw fruit and vegetable juices and smoothies and raw juice fasting, my Top Health Blogger badge is in the Raw Food category.

An Exciting Adventure
This is quite an honor for me as I’m a passionate health advocate. Raw foods and juices are such a huge part of my life and juice fasting has improved my lifestyle immensely. Most of you know I’ve lost over 100 pounds and overcome many health issues. I am still working to achieve even better health, but I’ve come such a long way I can hardly believe it. I do not take this Top Health Blogger status lightly and have already been focusing on ways to make this blog – and 2009 – even better. I’m also going to set aside time to actively participate in the Wellsphere Community, so come on over and join me. I really look forward to sharing, learning and reaching a bigger audience than I originally imagined possible at this point in this blog’s “life”.
More News in the Blogosphere and Along the Cyber Highway
Healthy Living Today is an amazing site brought to us by Mark Salinas. He shares his most inspiring journey to better health. He recently created a page titled Your Journey where he lists other health-related sites. You’ll find this site featured there. Not long ago, Mark also asked me to share my story with his readers. (I’m going to get to that soon.) Thank you, Mark. I’m so honored!
Esculon Magazine (owned by Alexandra Mihaescu) mentioned this site in an article about juicing: “Learn all about juice fasting and what it can do for you from Dr. Emily Kane and Michele Tune.” I appreciate that you value my advice, Alexandra. Thank you!
I also just received an assignment to write an article about juice fasting for a popular site. I’ll be sharing the link when it’s published so don’t forget to subscribe!

OhSheGlows.com is hosting a contest for Honest Foods. Haven’t heard of Honest Foods? Check them out! This mention of the contest is part of my own entry. My entry will be complete when I add OhSheGlows.com to my blogroll (which I have) and when I leave a comment sharing what Honest Foods product I’d most like to try. I personally have my eye on the Blueberry Vanilla Crackle Granola Planks! I’m a blueberry/vanilla kind of gal. Oh, and the prize? One box of Honest Foods Whole Food Country Squares!
