Good morning, Gorgeous!
Sometimes it’s hard to summarize something in just a few words, but when we do have to say it short and sweet about our Body Enlightenment System, then usually we say something like, a “30 Day System to Transform Your Health and Your Life!”
Anyone who has ever studied marketing would criticize us for that, because “transformation” doesn’t “sell”, they say. People don’t place value on the word “transformation”.
Well, we don’t care. 
All I know is that last week for a few days, as our Body Enlightenment System came to an end, I was getting emails like this one:
Ladies,
I must say I have had one of the most positive experiences of my life !!
I have had so much happen in the 30 days of BES all positive !!
I have gained a new self confidence , something I have been lacking for several years.
It was so easy to follow with all the grocery list’s & meals planned out !!!
I have lost about 15 pounds I have more energy than I have had in years !!
(Not to mention I have been MIGRAINE FREE , I no longer have HYPOGLYCEMIA , & the FIBROMYALGIA, ARTHRITIS pain have diminished my THYROID is working up to par again.)
No more thyroid medicine. I had been battling the migraine’s & hypoglycemia since I was a child, anyone that ‘poo poo’s’ the MIRACLE of RAW FOOD should really read testimonials !!
I joined Curves, I walk just about everyday for at least 45 minutes to an hour.
Before starting BES I spent many a day on my couch or in bed. I was truly ready to just give up I couldn’t stand the pain anymore!!
I, at 50 years old, feel better than I have felt in so many years it brings me to tears of joy.
I Love Life again!!I have purchased several rawfood recipe books & will be staying on this for the rest of my life !!
Ladies may the higher powers bless you in all you do !!!
I remain eternally grateful !!!!!-Cheryl
Stories like Cheryl’s are not the ones they put on CNN, because transformation doesn’t sell.
Last night some incredible women from around the world gathered to share their stories of transformation after 30 Days on the BES. And if I was CEO of CNN I would find some great music and pictures of triumphant smiling women, and I would broadcast the following messages commercial free!
(Maybe transformation doesn’t sell, but we hoped these stories might bring you hope where hope has been lost and inspire you to believe that no matter where you are, no matter how much it hurts, how dark it seems or how much life seems to slap you around on her roller coaster, something can be done about it.)
In honor of women everywhere who have the courage to embrace change and inspire the possibility of something better, we present you these powerful stories of transformation:
Hello Special Ladies – aka “Divas”:
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your uplifting
messages which come daily.Since signing up there have been soooo many obstacles jump in my path and you have managed to keep me sane. Yes, s-a-n-e.
I thank you and will always be forever indebted to you for your care,
attention and concern for all of us while you also, had your daily trials
and tribulations to meet head on. Thank you again for being “my light”.
I am truly grateful that I was able to be a part of this journey, even if,
I could not, for obvious reasons be an active participant.On that note, I hope that I can be a part of the next session and be an
active participant this time. Ladies, thank you, my hat is off to you.-From Caroline C
My various ailments bless them are healing well – no more pains in feet, no
more belching, no more itchy itchy itchy skin patches (they’re still there
slightly but not causing me aggravation like before!), no more gurgling in
tummy, breathing has improved, I’m a load more positive in my outlook and
just sooo into sorting myself out in a big way now for the next 12 months
with Tera. Can’t wait!!! Its going to be one amazing journey I can’t wait
to start! And to top it all I’ve been able to eat fruit in the past week
without getting really ill and flaring up!!The BES has truly done wonders for me and everything that’s happening in my
life…..From Marica Y
This challenge has helped to keep me
positive, focused, and accountable for my ACTIONS and helped me to set & conquer
different goals that I set for myself over the challenge. Some of these goals I have been
trying to complete for some time now.I was able to accomplish so much in the 30 day challenge.
Last Thursday I went to 2 of my doctors 1 for abnormal pap– (growth cells in the cervix and
now he could not find anything. The same day I went to a different placed for the
lump in my breast. They were to do a procedure to collapse & inject dye for a
surgical biopsy procedure the next day on my breast. Glory be to GOD they
were amazed that the tumor did collapse the lump and a thick fluid came out and now
there was no reason to have the surgical procedure the next day.I went straight to my breast specialist and he was surprised and happy that he could cancel the
surgery. He also said I was BLESSED!What he & the other doctor did not know was that I had been Raw for 30 days and prior to
that did a 7-day Juice detox to rid my body of toxins and heal thy self.
I also lost some weight on my challenge too.Thank you all.

Dear Raw Diva Team,
I joined the BES programme last year and have participated in several BES programs. They just keep getting better and better!
I must say that this current one has been absolutely the most helpful to me. I can’t say enough about how this program has truly changed my life!
I am a forever fan of the Raw Diva Team – you Divas just keep coming up with more and more value each time the BES program is held. No two programs are exactly the same – it is living, growing, ever-changing and constantly improving!
Thank you for what you offer our world!
From Susan Y
My testimonial for the 30 day BES is a simple one. I have been very
encouraged to pay close attention to my emotions and how they affect what I
want to eat. I am excited that there are answers to why I feel the way I do
and that I am gaining control over the food cravings. My consultation call
I had with Tera was very exciting and gave me so much hope that I am on the
road to the kind of peace she talked about.I already know the power of feeding my body correctly with raw foods. I was
diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer over four years ago and knew I did not
want to do the traditional medical treatment. I started juicing and eating
raw foods and within 3 months was completely clear of any cancer. I have
stayed with eating 85% raw, but have always wondered how it would feel to be
100% raw. Well now I know! I can tell a definite difference in my mood and
in my energy level.Also, I am so impressed with the joy I feel coming from these emails. Thank
you for your example of not being so hard on ourselves. It seems that is
the thing that trips me up…..I am so hard on myself.
I am learning though!Thank you……..I’m looking forward to the 3 day green smoothie and also to
the next 30 day challenge.

I loved the 30-day BES!
The first week I had a bit of detoxing but it wasn’t so bad. I loved the menus especially the simplicity of it all! Many times I found myself foregoing certain recipes for a simple green and fruit smoothie. It doesn’t get any simpler than 2 fruits and 1 green in a Vita-Mix.
The biggest change for me though was not the raw food (I have been 80-90% raw for two years now) but the exercise! I have battled weight ALL my life. I was a chubby little girl and a yo-yo dieter all my life.
The first time I have ever felt some control over my eating was two years ago when I began to go raw. For the first time my appetite actually changed! I didn’t crave any meat, dairy or chocolate. Instead, many of my past cravings now make me feel ill. I couldn’t believe the change raw brought into my life. I released about 45 pounds two years ago but since then I have struggled to lose the next 10 pounds. What was missing? Exercise!
The idea that 20 minutes of something each day is all that’s needed to get the body going really appealed to me! I knew I could find 20 minutes. In fact, I found a whole hour! For the first time in my life exercise wasn’t drudgery but it was enlightening. By week 2, I was releasing 1/2 pound each day!!! I was on my way!!!
One other thing I learned these past days is to listen to my body. I have always been so busy blocking things with food that I hadn’t ever really heard what it was trying to tell me. Things like “don”t feed me right before bedtime and expect to sleep well” or “yes, you really are satisfied with that glass of smoothie – stop! you really aren’t hungry!” I don’t run to the medicine cabinet for an aspirin either anymore. Instead I try to figure out why my head hurts and what I could do naturally for it. Wow ! what a difference to know that my body knows what it needs better than I do most of the time – but I’m learning!
It has been a great 30 days! I am really looking forward to the next BES – remember I am a mother to 4 boys so could use lots of information regarding family meals. I have released 15 pounds this past month and am still going strong. I don’t expect to look at this in 30 day increments but rather a lifetime experience. Boy is it a blast!
THANKS FOR THE JOURNEY SO FAR -
-From Leona D
I no longer have fat pants because they are too big for me! I’ve lost a few inches off my waist, and have started exercising again! Not to mention its transformed my outlook on life. I know my journey isnt done and I still have areas I want to see continue to improve, but thank you divas for giving me the jumpstart and support I needed.
-From Lyndi O
I am just so excited about the whole program!
I feel refreshed and back on track to health and energy
to live life to the fullest! I can’t wait to have my 12 yr old niece
visit again, we’ll have a ton of fun exploring all the new smoothies
together. And my bedroom hasn’t looked this great in a looooong time! It
is so much easier to clean and organize a tiny tad at a time than taking
the whole day to do one room. I love my little crystal vase with the two
fresh daffodils from my yard on the little stand in the corner. And I
haven’t forgotten that I can tap away when I need to. Thank you so much!
your team “rawks”!!From Mary Ellen
The BES has changed the way I perceive food and nutrition.
Before the BES, hardly ever ate any fresh greens. Maybe once in a month or less.
Cooked greens were more the norm, and fruits were rare.Thanks to the BES, I am now about 50% raw… a decision I made in the second week of the BES because going 100% was just too hard!
I’m so glad for the recipes and support from my buddy. Even though the BES is over, I know that I will continue eating much healthier than I did before, and am planning to transition slowly to become more and more raw.
I’ve also learned to balance the various aspects of my life.
Clutter busting was a humongous deal, and getting loads of clutter out and reorganizing stuff has been so gratifying.
I’m so glad I did this program!
-Simply Shimona
This was a great program. The materials were so helpful and the daily e-mails motivational. The addition of the Clutter Diva was FANTASTIC! I plan to continue 2 meals a day raw and being more aware of so many aspects of my life that I have the power to change. Thanks for providing a great framework for transformation, and I look forward to participating again since I’m a “lifer”.
-Sharon M. Lee
Well, was I surprised!
To begin with, I signed on feeling quite skeptical. I mean, there are lots of internet scams out there. We are all warned about them every day. None the less, I signed up and plunked down my money as a birthday present to myself.
The materials I received were professional, high quality, thoughtful, well designed, informative documents. This program was more than I could have imagined. I expected to get some basic recipes for eating raw, and an email or two from the “company.”
What I got instead was a life changing system for better health and better living and tools beyond my imagining to help me from this day forward. I got an invitation to come back any time I needed more support or a “tune up.” I got an opportunity to explore old habits, unhealthy choices (with tools for letting go of judgments).
I made friends, who I believe will be part of my life in one way or another for a long time.
What I lost was weight (approximately 10 lbs), clutter, garbage, fear, and ennui.
In short: I got back a part of the true me I had lost.
I can not say thanks, enough.

Yours for body enlightenment and a better world,
Tera and Amy
