I am so excited, everything is coming together and such amazing things are manifesting in my life on a daily basis.
So much has happened recently I really hope that I don't ramble too much. The first thing that I will tell you about is the heading of this blog and that is that I am launching the Mutual Appreciation Movement which I believe most people are instinctively members of if they take a little time to realise it. I have started to add a self assessment kit to my twitter account which is called sparklingenergy so you can have a look and find out whether you are a member or not. I will be adding more to that on a regular basis so if you don't imediately recognise yourself there may very well be something coming up soon that will trigger you to go "Ah ha it's me too!"
Such brilliant things are happening around the social enterprise that I manage The Real Renaissance Cafe ltd. we were heading towards closure if we didn't get new funding by the 31st March this year and on the 18th March we were turned down for a grant from the Bedford Borough Council because they had a limited budget and more pressing priorities. This looked a little bleak, though I must admit I remained in total belief that it would all work out and we would survive. Well within the space of 5 days we not only got funding to secure my post but we also got the one bit of funding that I really didn't think we had a chance of getting. That was from the Social Enterprise Investment Fund through the Department of Health and it was given to totally tranform the Cafe into somewhere that people would want to travel long distances just to come to it because it will be not only beautiful but it will also be serving some of the most delicious and super healthy foods anywhere in Britain.
I have been spreading the news about this fabulous outcome and people are getting excited by the enthusiasm so much so that I have been asked if I will regularly Blog for the Tastes of Bedfordshire site about all kinds of things that will make a person's life healthy and happy. Tastes of Bedfordshire promotes local producers for local people, and I truly believe that our local is quite extensive because people travel from Northampton and Biggleswade and Cambridge just to eat our wonderful Raw foods.
We will be having a major launch in September this year and I will try to keep you updated with the progress as we go along.
My shoulders are aching a bit and I am a little tired so I will leave this for now and be back in a day or so
love and light to everyone
