Victoria B. Talk in Evanston IL

[hmmm]

Hey, :) is anybody going to hear Victoria Boutenko give a talk at Lake Street Church in Evanston IL on Saturday Sept. 15th? Has anybody here gone to one of her talks yet? It's $15 for the ticket, the lecture, and a green smoothie! Sounds good to me!

She must be on a Road Trip, Sharing the Message. She was in Nothtern Calif. then Southern Calif. Now in IL. Do go and Learn from the master..Ask Questions............

Oh do go and post back how it was and what you learned, please! I also noted that she is going to be here in Michigan soon but I can't get there. I am so disappointed. I was sure the cost here was $25 a person though. I read in Victoria's newletter I think it was that her new smoothie book is finished and she is now on the speaking tour to raise the funds for the publishing of the book! I would love to go to support that but can't. Anyhow I cant wait for that book to be released. I just finished reading Green For Life, started the 12 Steps to Raw Foods and have watched her video Greens Can Save Your Life. I am now officially hooked on green smoothies

[hmmm]

Yes I will definitely try and go! Unfortunately, I hadn't heard about it till just recently so I've yet to register or get tickets . Hopefully there is still room left at the lecture so that I can purchase it tomorrow!

Blueberries, sorry you can't make it to the talks in Michigan! You were right, according to her site, she'll visit 3 different locations in Michigan and one of them is $25 while the other two are $15. I think it's because the $25 talk comes with a meal while the $15 talks come with a green smoothie.
Well if I get a ticket, hopefully <cross fingers> :) , and I do end up going I will definitely post here how it went!

Though I must admit, I am a little nervous about going because I am not 100% raw yet. That's actually why I really want to go, because I'm hoping to get re-inspired and go back to 100% (I'm raw all day till dinner time comes dinner is my weakness!) I'm just scared that there might be all 100% raw foodists there that look great and healthy, and i'll stand out like a sore thumb being the only cooked unhealthy one there! I'm still going to try and go though, maybe i'll just sit in the back Never thought I'd be so ashamed to eat cooked food!

I have seen Victoria speak before - she is very friendly and down to earth so don't be nervous. She is like a "mom" type of person. :)

Also, if you haven't been to a lot of raw speaking events before - honestly, alot of the people who go are sick, don't look all healthy and stuff which is why they go - to learn about how to get better. A lot of people are not 100&#37; either.

If you are interested the Chicago Raw Food Community is holding a potluck after the event:

I am not going but if you are interested in meeting more raw foodists potlucks are the way to go.

have fun!
