The 2008 Spring Issue is Here!


Welcome to Pear Magazine Online, The Magazine Of Fresh Organic Lifestyles! Sign up on this site for access to the current issue plus all of our archives!

"...Now, let's talk about wagons. I mean, what is it with this idea that one can 'fall off the wagon?' There are no wagons here. In fact, let's decide right now, that we're all walking along the same path in our enviro-sneakers. Some walk slower, checking out the scenery as they go. They keep their eyes forward, but will stop to glance behind them from time to time. Some walk faster, taking quick and bouncy steps along a dusty trail. They might occasionally trip on rocks along the way. Others just sprint right along, don't they? Do they miss the scenery? Maybe. Does it matter? I don't think so.............If you have the mistaken impression, that you have in some way 'fallen off the wagon,' let's set you straight! ;-) There are no wagons here.

- an excerpt from the Spring Issue of Pear Magazine Online, a very special magazine full of amazing articles, interviews, resources, and entertaining, uplifting, and inspiring reading for people who are living fresh organic lifestyles!

The April issue of Pear Magazine just arrived to me via email from my editor Penny Powell...It was so long that I printed it out to read outside in the sun. Wow! Pear Magazine is turning into a very unique magazine that I am very proud of!

The focus this month is on Spring Cleansing - juicing in particular, with an in depth and inspiring interview with David and Katrina, the couple who created of The very popular Juice Feasting program. I enjoyed reading about the unique way in which they met at a raw food retreat. In this month's Pear, you'll also read reviews on raw books and on poi spinning, and articles including a raw pregnancy update from Annalise with links to raw pregnancy resources, a report from the front lines of the Body Enlightenment System program currently in session, Three Steps to Happiness, a new accidental recipe from Penny, the Joys of Blogging, and our favorite picks to inspire you to enjoy your healthy lifestyle!

An excerpt from Penny's Letter From the Editor......

To honor the natural desires within us for simplicity and mind-body-soul balance, especially during this time of year, we are bringing you some cleansing elements this month!

Here is an excerpt from our extremely long feature interview with a wealth of information from David and Katrina....

.....There was a lady with a history of fibromyalgia for almost 25 years. Her pain was so severe she had organized her life and the life of her family around her health challenge. She had tried eating vegetarian, eating Macrobiotic, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with acupuncture and herbs, chiropractic, massage, hot/cool treatments, yoga, meditation.....This student had spent tens of thousands of dollars over the years “treating” her condition. I coached her on a Juice Feast, and a little over 20 days into the Feast she called me to let me know that her pain was nearly gone already, and by Day 30 it was gone.

You'll also learn the practical aspects to juice feasting, why and how to juice feast, and the secrets to sticking with it!

In keeping with our juicing theme, Melissa Gilbert reviews Matt Monarch's new book Raw Success, in which it states that a 100% Raw Food Diet without vegetable juices is a deficient diet.

If you have ever considered blogging but hesitated, this month's article on The Joys of Blogging will inspire you to take that dive! Annalise Jones encourages...

.....As you go about your journey of self-improvement and seeking better health, what better way to examine your feelings and recount your experiences than to keep a journal? And if it's a public blog online, your trials and successes will be an inspiration to all who read it.

And in her article on raw pregnancy, Annalise writes...

....What keeps me going every day is the amazing energy, mental stability, and spiritual connectedness that I feel when I quell society's voice, when I subdue my carnal appetites, when I instead listen to that subtle pull of instinct within me. And I have found so much peace and fulfillment, that steaks and donuts could never, ever bring!
