Trading, Reusing, Recycling,Paying it Forward and Kindness-a favor?

[Colorawdo girl]

Hey there...I had an idea. I was thinking about the stuff of raw. Books, appliances, etc.

What if we started a little lending program. Say you want to read Gabriel Cousins Rainbow Cuisine. I however want to read ALissas stuff. Neither of us have cash to purchase them right now. So we could trade. OR simply loan out.

I have appliance I dont need or use. That mandoline I bought. I would loan it or trade it or sell it.$27 dollar plus ship.Just what I paid.

I am doing this already but am willing to do more so. Just sent a big box to Alabama to my new raw friend. I also included little samples of raw items, as she is new and can use inspiration.

So, my wish, as mentioned, is to borrow Alissas book. Save a tree and see what its all about.

Anybody up for it? What would you like someone to loan or help with?

I think that it is a great idea. I can only take part on this side of the pond.

[Colorawdo girl]

Ok.....what would you like to borrow from someone or have to loan out? Thankx for your reply.

Hey all of you...anybody looking to share in this way. Sharing here is super and I love it yet I have printed materials available for borrowing as well as a desire to borrow some.

i have some books id loan to see alissas dvd

[Colorawdo girl]

Thanks Julie. I do not have one.I actually gave it away.awwww Perhaps someone will though. Pulling for you.Thanks again.

Little introspection here.I found it interesting my reaction(ooops) to the very little response to this post(so far..haha).

It was a reminder for me.
I am who I am. I am a sharer and giver to others. I have and all I have I have been given to me from others(God foremost). So since what I have is not mine, it is yours. If you want it or need it. I am in debt to every being that inhabits this planet by all I have been given.

I am pulled up often by expectations. Expectations lead to disappointment. I often have an idea of what rawfooders are and how they be. Earth loving, sharing and caring and recycling and love. And they may be all that. Why did I see it was to show up in response to this thread? haha silly. Perhaps I am more manifesting now than expecting..yipeeee

I am always surprised by my own expectations.And surprised by how life flows when I do not expect...and all thats shows up. So,once again, I let go of these. They do not serve me or others well. yuk.

I feel if everyone adopted this idea and concept, what would the world look like? All I can do is be the change I wish to see. Live and let live.

So I let go of what I thought others might do with this.

I am seeing who of you will want to, or can or likes too share and receive and leave it at that. Life is so easy and good if we simply let go.I am.

My updated list of available items
a mandoline
Alkalinize or Die
The Hippocrates Diet
Lifefood Recipe Book by David Jubb
The Raw Gourmet by Nomi Shannon

I have "The Good Life" By Helen and Scott Nearing, by a raw foodist/vegan homesteading couple from the 1930s! I would love to loan this book out, it's so great.

I also would like to loan out Conscious Eating By Gabriel Cousins.
Green for Life by Victoria Boutenko.
Eating for Beauty by David Wolfe
Amazing Grace by David Wolfe
The Vegetable Gardener's Bible by Edward C. Smith

I'd really like to borrow the Rawkathon videos. Or Inspiration by Wayne Dwyer.

[Colorawdo girl]

Bumping this up. Still am in possibility of borrowing Alissa book and returning it too..haha....and loaning out my stuff.

[somelikeitraw]

I don't have Alissa's book. I do have an extra copy of a nifty little book called UNCOOKING WITH JAMETH & KIM.

Jameth & Kim are husband & wife and both are N.D.s. They catered their own wedding and even made a raw, vegan 3 tiered wedding cake!

The book only cost $15 so not a fair trade for your mandoline. Can you think of something else you might like with it in trade?

[Colorawdo girl]

Oh I am sorry. I dont have an interest in the book. I am sure its a good one. Maybe someone here will. Thanks alot for your reply.

[Colorawdo girl]

I am still looking for Alissa book loan though if someone who has it also has a very generous spirit. awwww...If I say please? And thank you. ANd promise to return it asap in better shape than it came..haha.

And still have things to loan tutu.

[Colorawdo girl]

I have some natural clothing....cottons n linen. Very earthy and feel good materials. The pix not do them nicely but they are nice. Also in good condition.They are size 10 to 12 ish

If you would like them they are yours. I ask, if you can, please send postage after you get them. Been sending out lots of stuff these days..heeheee.

RAW Enthusiast here. Might be willing to part with my Excalibur dehydrator for a season or longer. Casing is cracked on the bottem but you can only tell by pressing on it. Dehydrates fine, just not interested in dehydrated foods right now so it's taking up counter space.

My RFT book and videos are already on loan.

I'd love to have an assortment of REIKI books
