1 week in New York. Daily green juices, Jivamukti yoga (thank you Donna); immaculate NSA with David Mehler + Lora's apartment all to myself. Seriously, all the party this girl needs is a colonic with double wheatgrass chaser in Union Square's sun-drenched farmer's market and I'm teeth-tingling & cheek-vibrating Happy.

Being back home here - threading together my old life/friends and new has been the best launch pad for the next chapter I could have wished for. So many incredible things are unfolding. Thank you all for the extra-ordinarily enthusiastic encouragement I've received. It's taken a while to catch up on sleep and the shock of a life left behind - but it's soo much easier to be gone, than to be leaving. Thank you Brackenbury for my leaving-present dinner.

Needless to say, I've sauntered the streets of Manhattan sampling as much raw fare as socially acceptable - Quintessence, Pure Food and Wine, LifeThyme, Integral Yoga, Liquiteria, Sal Anthony's, High Vibe, Wholefoods, Bonobos, Westerlys, Earth Matters, Organic Avenue, Live Live, Jubbs Longevity - enjoying mainly juices and a little chocolate sampling - my desire to visit every possible store has not abated.

B&H cameras has been visited - gadget lust well and truly satiated (thanks to Ben) - next stop Colorado ✖
