Since February is the month we honor love in all of its forms, we would like to remind ourselves, and each of you, to LOVE YOUR LIFE! Life is a precious gift that has been given to each of us, and as we appreciate our lives, we find that they become full of more blessings to be grateful for. One of the best ways to love our lives is to love our bodies. And what better way to show love and appreciation for our bodies, than to eat vibrant, light-filled, energizing, and nutritious raw living foods! We at Living Light are indeed grateful that what we do supports both our bodies and our planet. We know that our students go out into the world to spread love, and to share their knowledge of gourmet raw vegan foods with family, friends, and community. As many of you already know, eating organic raw foods makes all of us more joyful and loving, naturally!

And while we’re on the subject of love, Dan & Cherie will be celebrating their first wedding anniversary at Raw World in Costa Rica (February 7-18), along with Viktoras Kulvinskas, Dr. Douglas Graham, Paul Nison, and a wonderful group of fellow travelers (including a honeymoon couple), beginning with a 5-day Adventure Tour, and culminating in Raw World, International Festival of Raw Food Enthusiasts, in Montezuma, on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica. Ah, the romance of the tropics! The flora, the fauna, the birds and the bees, and the coconut trees! (Not to mention the succulent fresh fruits!)

We just completed our first Three-Part Chef Training of the new year and have 6 more scheduled for this year (FUNdamentals of Raw Living Foods, Essentials of Raw Culinary Arts, and Associate Chef and Instructor Training), as well as special classes in the Science of Raw Food Nutrition with Raw Food Doctors™ Rick and Karin Dina, and our advanced classes in recipe development (Ethnic Flavors, RawFusion Gourmet Spa Cuisine), Raw Event Catering and Elegant Entertaining, and New Holiday Traditions with Raw Living Foods.

Don’t forget, when you sign up for classes at Living Light (or if you just want to visit the beautiful, coastal, raw food-friendly community of Fort Bragg, we now offer eco-friendly lodging at the beautiful Living Light Inn. Some testimonials from our students:

“We enjoyed very much staying at the Living Light Inn! Every evening, it was like coming home—to be able to use the kitchen, make raw recipes, do our laundry. We slept like babies on the organic sheets and mattresses! It is close to the school, and to the sea. The garden was also super. Thank you so much for this warm place...” ~ Christine
