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

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.

   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

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

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

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.
