I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

Hello Peeps!
Well tonight I'm writing to you with uncharacteristically sweaty palms.
I wish I could say that it was due to my amazing workout.

But, yeah. Not so much.
Tonight is the night I probably won't sleep a wink.;)
Yes. I foresee a night of tossing and turning. Looking at the time.
And more turning.

Yes. Beppa is a little bundle of nerves.
You see a few long (very long) months ago I embarked on a journey to bring the message of raw to the world. LOL. Ok, perhaps not the world, but to as many people as possible. And as phase 1 of the plan. I expected everything to snap together in record time and be buzzing successfully in a week. LOL. Yeah, not so much.

But, things are finally to the point...er' well. No more stalling. And it's far too late to turn around and quit. Although every bone in me says stop! You can't do this!!! So I'm just telling me to shut up.

Tomorrow I am soft launching my website to friends and family. Soft launch? YES. No major announcement, press release, etc. Not yet. Not until we get the kinks worked out. Soooooo. If you happen to pop in for a peek, and you notice any typos, missing links...or anything that is seriously not working right. Please let me know, ok? As most of you know I've been doing a lot of it myself in the wee wee hours, so I am certain there are typos galore.

But I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you. I truly appreciate all of the time and energy you have poured into me, offering encouragement, laughter, friendship, a shoulder to cry on, a place to vent and freak out, etc. etc. etc. You have been there every single step of the way. And I hope that you feel that this is your baby too. I know that I couldn't and wouldn't have done it without you.

I love that this is a place where we encourage one another to follow our dreams, kick doors down, overcome obstacles, and grow through our trials. And I love that you were each right here beside me through the good bad and the ugly. Lifting me up with your words and prayers. So...before I go to bed. (((((HUGS))))).

Wish me luck tomorrow. XOXOXO! :)
Beppa

Love the website. Well aligned great colors and good pics of the products.

The only fix that catches my eye is that you have "baby and pet" in the same category. Doesn't sit well with me and may not sit well with those whole love children and don't find pets to be the least bit comparable. Though I do know of a few pet lovers that think they are the same.

Guess what? The really are not!!!

Otherwise the site is cool!

Oh Beppa! Congratulations - the site looks great! How long will the coupon be good for? I see something I'm interested in, but have to wait a couple paychecks. So glad you're doing well - I've missed you~

Thanks everyone. ( : The coupon code is good until the 20th I believe.
But email me and I'd be happy to extend it for you if needed.

PS. I really struggled with where to put everything and how to group up the categories. Notice it says babies + pets... not pets = babies. I love children too but I had to combine categories in areas where we don't have enough inventory to fill an entire category. If you clicked on that section then you know what I mean. But thanks for your opinion, we will be making tweaks to the site soon.
