Welcome new bloggers
Karen at Witch’s Brew is regaling us with stories of old fashioned beauty treatments, Sallie at Aphrodite Bath Milk, a supplier of raw milk (for cosmetic purposes only of course), writes about her farm and raw milk. I wonder what she has to say about Mark McAffey’s urge for us to stop the attack on raw milk by Californian legislators. Katrina at Slow Journey to Health writes of her recovery from Chronic Fatigue and Green Pastures Cod Liver Oil. Luke of Relish Organics on the Gold Coast has also started a blog called The Food, The Whole Food and Nothing But the Food. Welcome to these Nourishing business owners. Thank you for choosing to share your talents with our community and Thank you for working in an industry that will surely change our world for the better.
Nourishing Directory
These keen bloggers are waiting so patiently, as am I, for the advent of the Nourished Directory, which they will be the first to appear on. After it’s particularly protracted birth, 5 months is too long to labour, I’m told it is crowning and will soon be with us. What a sigh of relief I will utter when I can send the umpteen queries I receive from you, dear Nourishers, every day, straight to the directory. (What a sigh of relief, Wes, dear husband, our talented web developer, will utter when we stop nagging him for the programming to be completed.) You’ll be able to find what you need to create your Nourishing life in your region with the flick of a mouse. Business owners will be able to help you with any queries you have about their Nourishing products and we will receive enough financial Nourishment from their sponsorship to continue making Nourished Magazine the wonderful creation she is turning out to be.
Welcome also to Jennifer who needs our help to overcome Candida. Please, if you have any advice for this debilitating illness, let Jennifer know by commenting on her blog.
Our other bloggers deserve a mention also. Henriette has been preparing for winter in her garden in Denmark. Christy is keeping two blogs, one about Acid/Alkalinity and one about mothering her beautiful sons. Rebecca has a thousand questions to ask us and seems to be enjoying her Nourishing journey well. Karen from Food For Thought writes majestically as usual. Her blog is definitely a joy to read. Wendy shares her wonderful journey to wellness, a journey I have had the privilege to witness myself - a journey which helped inspire me to create this Nourishing Community in the first place.
Gratitude wells in my heart when I consider all you wonderful bloggers (all 23 of you) who’ve joined me in this community. Thank you for your contributions and I hope you get as much, if not more, out of being here as I do.
We have a great month ahead of us, beginning with an awesome edition of Nourished Magazine.
Please readers feel free to comment on any article or post. This community thrives on sharing. Feel free to Start Your Own Blog and let us in on your Nourishing journey.

Thanks to Nui who provided the October Prize for a lucky subscriber, a Nourishing Nui Cosmetics pack valued at $150. Lush. The winner will be drawn today and notified by email. We’ll let you all know who it is and hopefully they’ll send us a photo like Susan, September’s winner.

Our Pass it Forward Prizes are awesome too. Five Nourishers who ‘Share the Love, will win some Kefir.
