Raw Food Forums

Hey WOW, I just read the announcement....Jen is taking over RP...Congrats, how exciting  :yahh: :yahh:
I am wondering what new adventure Sheryl and Piers will take on...hoping to see them still around the forum.
Jen you have been doing an amazing job around here girl...if you need any help let me know!

I have a story to tell that shows how dedicated and honest Sheryl and Piers are, they are in this for the spreadingof the word of the benefits of raw, that are here because the have so much love and care NOT for $$$

A few years ago (maybe 6) I was looking at raw cos I had seen a lady on the Oprah show loose weight from raw and she looked fantastic, any how I decided to investigate and for some reason looked on ebay...at that time you could buy the RP ebook for a very cheap price...anyhow I bid on it and won, sheryl sent the CD, with a refund policy if I wasnt happy, well when I got the cd, I looked at it and thought this is too weird for me and the family...I cant feed the kids that!, and sent it back saying it wasnt suited to my family, could I have my money back (embarrassed about that)...sheryl was very gracious and without question returned my stupid $, and wished me the best in life. ( Iam so sorry about that Sheryl)

Years later I found raw again, and yes again through Sheryl and Piers and this RP site and now Raw is my life...

I just want to say, I am so thankful to Sheryl and Piers for begining this great site, for helping me dicover whom I am through support and this forum, I love this place and cant imagine ever leaving. You have changed my life, strange how you can touch someone without ever meeting them.

All the best and my deepest gratitude to you both...look forward to seeing you around the forum...or around my home if you ever come to Adelaide!

Love BB

Wow, I must be living in a black hole lately  :laugh: because I haven't heard anything about Jen taking over RP....and is that Rawsensation Jen you're talking about? :huh:

And I too thank Sheryl and Piers for all their hard work.  It's not often you find people so dedicated and heartwarming to their beliefs.  Thank you both on my part too!

And if it is Rawsensation Jen taking over.....CONGRATS.  You definitely have my support also.

Luv

Ahh, a huge heartfelt thank you to Sheryl and Piers for creating such a lovely space as this. 

& much love to Jennie for stepping up into the guardian role... you're made for it Jen!  Congratulations.

Where and when was this announced?

Ah never mind I just found it....hey congrats Jen.

I'll be interested to hear what sheryl and piers are "up to" on their journey as well.

The love and passion of their "work" shines through.

Good luck guys.

 :yahh:  My secret is out!!!! For a few months now, those of you who have been reading my journal have known that there was a bit of a surprise in the works. Keeping this a secret has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do!

When Sheryl and Piers asked me to take care of their baby because they were moving to Canada I was stunned! I could only giggle for a few hours. It's the most exiting opportunity of my life. I've never experienced anything like it. The level of trust that Sheryl and Piers have shown me has left me both humbled and determined with immense feelings of gratitude!!! My world has been rocked in the best possible way! Thanks so much for this guys. It's awesome.

I have to thank all of the forum members who have helped me to find my feet in the raw world. There are many of you who have not only been here on the forum but by email, phone and in person as well. I would not have been raw without you all with your advice, recipes and encouragement. If I had not been raw I could not have had the opportunity to go into partnership with Sheryl and Piers. So thank you to each and every forum member who has replied to me and supported me over time. Even when I haven't wanted to hear what you have to say! Especially for when I haven't wanted to hear it! LOL.

Many of you will know that my best friend and supporter is my darling husband Bill who has been there for every moment. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank him publicly. It's not been an easy couple of months while I've been learning the ropes (that's not to say it's been miserable... just challenging and very very interesting!) and he has taken over all of the household duties while this has been in the works. Whatta guy! He even irons. Love him.

My children are so patient with me. They are gradually coming around to the raw way of life and finding new things to enjoy from the raw world. They are now dedicated Green Smoothie kids and I love them so much. With Bill taking over the household duties and me often being in the office from 7am until 2 am the following morning learning things, they have gone through a few changes and coped really well. It's been exiting for them. Caitlyn said that she has always worried that I would go back to work but now that I'm working from home it's great because she can 'ask me stuff'. And she does! So a big thank you to my wonderful children as well.

I have many plans in the works, new products, restocking, events and other things. I have a great long list! Some of you may remember a few months ago that I was working on a few projects. They have taken a backseat but are far from forgotten! I'm looking forward to getting back to them when I am settled.

So it's onwards and upwards for me from here. I'm having a ball! Thanks for all the replies (and a big thanks to BB for starting this beautifully titled thread!!!) and to all for sharing this exiting ride with me...

Love Jennie

PS: The announcement is in the form of a newsflash in the top right hand corner of your screen. I think it went up at about 2:30 this arvo... so you ain't that slow John! LOL

xoxoxo

Lol Jen...this must be a truly challenging and exciting time for you.

Sincerely and heartfelt and with much love CONGRATULATIONS.

And if you ever moderate me again....sorry...just my sense of humour....lol

John

Piers and Sheryl are the most special people in my life. I have known them for over seven years now and I love them so much. They deserve everyones well wishes from this forum of love. I feel so blessed to have them as friends. They have been there for me in my most sadest and most exciting moments of my life. True friends!

Since being introduced to Jen (by my dear friends this year) I have fallen in love with her. She is amazing! She has so much love to give in so many ways. Someone I also feel so blessed to call a friend. Jen is destined for success as she takes over from Piers & Sheryl. I love Jen's family too. just beautiful!

There nothing I wouldn't do for all of them.

Thankyou to all of you. You all bring so much love, joy, support, enlightenment and education to thousands and bring out the very best out in people. And with this forum you provide an enviroment for so many beautiful people to come together. Your all angles.  :heart: :heart:

Love Sacha

It is exiting and challenging. At times it's been overwhelming! So true. And John, if ya ever have another hissy fit... I'll still love ya on the other side of it! LOL cha-ching.

Sacha, we were posting at the same time! We all love you too Sach. You're a very special person... now I"m off to make dinner. Mmmmmm. Apple pie!

xoxoxo

Yippee so I dont have to hide the secret anymore!!!!

I will big note myself for a second I was the only one who guessed it yippe for me.

Sheryl and Piers i wish you every luck and love in the world. I hope you still come and visit us every now and again cause you are truly beautiful beautiful ppl I love you guys to bits for this forum and everything that you have brought into our lives.

Jen I love you to bits as well my love and I hope this is a journey that bring you more and more happiness every day.

Love to all of you Angie

Oh Jen, How wonderful-much love to you. Hope Sheryl and Piers might still post sometimes because I miss them as well.

Jen - now you can breathe easy! 

Congratulations - you have managed things so beautifully (and effortlessly) over the past months, and we all know you will continue to do so.  Shine on!

Oh, and keep an eye on John's posts - you know how he loves a leedle moderation! ;)

Sheryl & Piers - PLEASE pop in from time to time - you are loved and missed.

Jen, Congrats! You've stepped up and now get to enjoy the ride :-)

Piers & Sheryl, Wow! May you find bliss in every step of your new (ad)ventures.

Congratulations Jen :) oh i got your message. no worries i undertand. might see you at the markets this weekend.

yippy the secrets out....CONGRATULATIONS.....my friend you are shining star...

love Sheryl and Piers...they were a huge part of me finding raw....and i love em for it,and many other reasons....

Thanks for all of the support everyone! I am so grateful for your messages. We have had Sacha over tonight to celebrate and had a big salad for dinner and apple pie for dessert. Yummmm!

Angie you did so well at hiding my secret! I was flabbergasted (dontcha love that word!!!) when you guessed it right and two others guessed not long after. There may have been more but they have kept it to themselves if they have.

It's been an exiting day. Sheryl and I have been emailing back and forth like mad which is always fun. They have put a lot of effort into training me so I will continue to please RP customers in the same way. I also can contact them at any time with questions which takes a load off.

I'm so glad that everyone knows. It's truly wonderful when someone calls for the owner or manager of RP to be able to say 'speaking!'... LOL.

I'm off to bed now. Early start tomorrow and all that. Thanks again everyone.

Much love, Jennie

oxoxoxo

WOW! CONGRATULATIONS JEN,

Well what can I say, someone's definately looking after you Jen; What an amazing resource Sheryl and Piers (heaps of love, blessings and gratitude to them both) have created. It will no doubt go from strengh to strength now it's in the new and capable hands of Jen ( I suppose it is a wee bit sad but P and S have done their bit in building R.P.'s strong foundations, wishing them well on new future projects).

Fantastic news!

Heart-felt congratulations once again Jen (the kiddies have their mummy back yaho:o)   

a big heart felt thanks to Piers and Sheryl for being an integral part of my raw journey. you have given selflessly and in true belief of RAW. May you continue to inpsire people and follow your passions. I look forward to seeing and sharing what the future holds for you !

Jennie Well done!!! You have changed completely.... a new person from a year ago !! you have put in the hard yards and are now reaping the rewards. congratulations and keep on charging forward. may your passion resonate throughout RP ! and it go from strength to strength!!

Hey Garfield, thanks heaps! Sheryl and Piers have done such an awesome job starting Raw Pleasure. They are still here though holding my hand when need be and pushing me out of the nest when they know I can do it and I don't think I can! They are great teachers and wonderful people all round.

Speeds, so THIS is what I have to do to get you to post here! Does this mean I'll have to get someone to do the same as me next week so you'll post again? Hehehe. Thanks for dropping in and for your words. It's great to see you!

xooxox

Wow... Congratulation Jen... you will be a sensation. We are going to see some big things from this wonderful lady. Looking forward to catching up next week.

Still very sad that I didn't get a good bye before you left Sheryl and Piers..... but I know you guys well enough to know that you where on a mission.. sounds like you are up to great things over there and Congratulations.... you are Aunty and Uncle.. how exciting! Can't wait to see/hear what amazing things we have coming our way in the way of raw from you both...

love to you all.... Karen

You're welcome Jen! - It's so good to know that R.P. will continue to flourish and Sheryl and Piers are supporting you in every step of the way (In some ways it's not all sad as a fresh ,sparkly and new individual can have a fantastically different and innovated approach and hence GREAT IDEAS).

May R.P. continue to grow, inspire, support and educate the planet with love!     

Congratulations Jen! What exciting news.

Lots of love to you and your family,
