2003 -- December's snippets December 1st -- Happy birthday Uncle Jeff! Just uploaded my newly designed web site last night, and checked it today. So if you see any errors, please let me know, as I just can't check all 300 pages! I put my journal back online. Wow, I didn't know what it meant to people until I took it off. I just wanted some privacy, to move in another direction, but the *begging* letters I had made me cry! I know it's great to have support when going raw, I just didn't realise what an impact my journals had in that way. Am moved. December 15th -- Oh, suppose I should write something. I have a great big thing to write about, but have been told "Don't write about that yet". So I'll wait a bit. Like I can keep *anything* to myself. Anyway, it just tops anything that's happened in my life at all and I was going "2003 has been the best year of my life, how can 2004 get any better. Er. I now know it will". More soon. Promise. Wow, some stuff's gone on here. A postman in our village was murdered the other day. It was so sad, and so unnecessary. Lots of politics behind it, and I don't want to go into it here as it's such bad vibes. BUT am sending lots of light to his family and Ruth's group has also been doing nightly meditations to bestow peace on Cottehnam once again. I remember when I was looking at a new house and I so wanted to live here as it felt so peaceful and safe. Now grown men are scared to go out at night. I think it's getting back to how it was, though. No thanks to government inspectors who'd rather keep some undesirables away from where they live and so let masses of them invade our Cambridge villages instead. Locals have threatened to withhold their council tax money, as the government aren't providing us with a safe place to live, but now we have police crawling around all the time, maybe the darkness will go somewhere else or become light? It does happen. Anyway, so thanks to Ruth and HL for spreading the light. I so appreciated it. Another injustice. Remember me writing about the old bloke who attacked my nephew? Well, my brother-in-law got found guilty for ABH, for hitting the bloke. And that old bloke, who gave my nephew concussion for a month hasn't even been tried yet. In fact, the case against him was dropped due to the fact that his daughter's a copper. Erm, I mean due to the fact that there were no witnesses. Apparently, the word of a 12 year old with head injuries doesn't count. Anyway, Jen, my sis, kicked up such a stink to the powers that be, that they re-opened the case. Basically, she said "OK, so if this guy didn't hit my sone, who did? Why aren't you looking for someone?" And the copper goes "Oh, we didn't think about that". Yeah, police intelligence. So, bruv-in-law will appeal and hopefully court and jury will see sense. And another injustice. Errr. Throwing Sam off of Pop Idol and keeping Mark "Gary Barlow" on there? And Michelle "sings through nose all the time" on there? I'd sign you, Sam. If I was in the music industry. It was bad enough throwing Chris the Vicar off the week before, he should have been in the final with Sam. Now I know why I'm not like everyone else in this world! Oh, just put new product on the web. The Complete Book of Raw Food, Italian *extremely the best* olives, and deodorant stones for sweet pits. I contributed tonnes of recipes to the new book -- they mailed me and said they'd used more of mine as they loved them so much. Wow. And there are recipes from all the well known and well loved raw authors and chefs such as me, Stephen Arlin, David Wolfe, Jackie Ayala & David Steinberg, Elizabeth Baker, The Boutenko Family, Karyn Calabrese, Rose Lee Calabro, Jackie Graff, Juliano, Viktoras Kulvinskas, Elaina Love, Rhonda Malkmus, Paul Nison, Karen Parker, Rhio, Julie Rodwell, Rita Romano, Jeremy Safron, Chad Sarno, Nomi Shannon, Jameth & Kim Sheridan, Cherie Soria, Jinjee & Storm Talifero, and loads more. It's such a pretty book -- all hardback and big. They did a fab job on it. 20th December -- Wow, got a Friends Reunited card off of a bloke I went on a drama course with when I was 16! We stayed mates for a few years but then lost touch. How sweet of him to contact me. Only trouble is, I can't email him back, without paying a fee, so Andrew Alton, if you read this -- big hellos and lots of love!!!! Cor, that takes me back. Bob and Jessie came over for dinner last night. I'll put a picture up later if I remember. Made Juliano's Meatloaf and some other raw stuff. Also cooked some taties and vegan chicken stuff for the lads. Me and Jess could just eat loads of raw stuff, but Matt and Bob aren't quite the same. Though Bob's food transformations have been remarkable over the years. He used to eat loads of junk, now he's into raw a bit and eats organic. We had a great time, and then Bob and Matt fell asleep while me and Jess nattered. Funny how we do that... Got a mucky kitchen now and feel too sick to tidy it up. And Annette's coming over for the night later. Must get arse into gear. Picture courtesy of and © copyright of Babyzone.com Oh yeah, check this out! There's now a Yahoo group called Shazzie Fans. And no, I didn't start it! Isn't it cute!! 29th December -- OK, guys -- hope you had a wonderful Xmas. Me and Matt had a great time, it was my best Christmas ever. And probably the most peaceful one I'll ever have in a long time. Matt got me lots of pressies, so I didn't have to go out and buy a load for myself like I did last year. Ah, the advantages of having a boyfriend! And anyway, I'd have been very happy with nothing, as Matt recently gave me the best pressie ever -- a baby! Wow, I'm still a bit in shock, and feel sick and all that yucky mummy-to-be stuff, but it's true! We're going to have a little un. It's due on August 7th, and will be a Leo. Am v happy about that as I get on with Leos v well. Told it that It'll have to watch its ego though! Actually, I've been doing a lot of talking to it recently. It's such a little thing (about 2cm at the mo), yet it's obviously taken over my whole life! Here's a piccie of what it looks like sort of right now... Amazing, eh. It's got eyes and a tongue and a brain and a heart and everything. A couple of days ago I was feeling so tired, I didn't get out of bed til 3pm. Every time I tried before that I just felt really sick. So I had a word with Tiny and said "Sweetie, I know you need all my energy to grow and grow, but can I at least have some back for a while so I can get home?" And you know what? He let me have some energy back, and I did indeed manage to drive home. Very good baby. I can see we're going to get along just fine. Me and Matt on Xmas day. No I don't wear coloured contact lenses! Stop saying that, everyone! Me and Matt on Lowestoft beach. Matt doing "catalogue man" So. How did this happen? Erm, well, probably the normal way! It wasn't consciously intentional, but we both love it to bits. Of course Matt was convinced that it couldn't possibly be true for about a month! Now I'm getting a tummy (already!), the fact that a fortune teller told his mum that she'd have a grandson next year, and the way that I can't eat my normal food slowly made it sink in to him that it was true. Now, what I find interesting is this entity thing that I saw the night I met Matt. I wondered what on earth it was. Now I think it was Tiny going "Oh, he'll do. Mum, be really unsensible, not like normal, so I can take physical form". And I don't know if I wrote about this, but when I was in the US, every time I talked to Matt on the phone I got a whirring in my womb area. And this was before he'd insperminated me. Very odd. So this baby was hanging around me for about 2 months before it decided to take physical form. Oh, another thing. God, I'm so amazing at manifesting, even when I don't consciously intend to be. The night "it"" happened -- Matt's mum had been over. God, first time I met her as well! Anyway, as she was leaving, she was saying something about not having grandkids, and I said "Don't you worry. I'll make a grandmother of you yet" and the way her and her bloke tell it, they said I was dragging Matt back into the room all passionate as they left. And then it happened. So, guys -- be v careful what you wish for because it might just come true! Now. Some things they don't tell you about being pregnant. Well, I never knew, anyway. Your body releases a hormone called relaxin which makes all your muscles relax. This makes your yoga practise fantastic. And if you don't do yoga, it's a great time to start. So I was doing this frog thing, where you lay on your tummy, bend your legs so your feet hit your bum, and then you hold your feet and bring them to the floor. A few months ago, I could get one foot on the floor. Now, I can get both on there! Together! Eugh. Charlie, my nephew was going "Oh, Auntie Sharon, you're so strange!" So my plan for the next six months is to get skates on with secret book project. Once that's out of the way, I've got a few months to finish the new version of Detox Delights, get some more groovy life-enhancing products on the site, and then I'm going to give birth. Under a tree if I have my way. Now, so far most of my mates have gone "Oh, that's nice" and Matt's mates have gone "Are you a witch?" Oh dear ;-) Well, you'd best check out the guilty party, see if you approve of him. I do. He's a total love, and massages me when I complain about feeling pregnant and ill. What do you reckon. Mmmmm, eh! I think our baby's going to be the most beautiful child that ever lived. Hope it gets Matt's lips and my eyes. And perhaps my hair! Oh, it probably won't have hair. I didn't have any when I was born... Blimey, a hairless baby... Oh yeah, the other thing... We did miss each other while I was in the US for 3 weeks, but also we had a massive binge on maca the few days before we conceived. Maca well-known as a fertility-enhancing food, and I think Tiny's spirit made us eat it, so it could manifest! Cheeky little monkey. I can tell I'm going to have to watch this one! Now, 2 months in (that's really 6 weeks, but the ridiculous medical people count from your period, not from the date the baby was actually conceived. And people are expected to take them seriously and trust them???) anyway... 2 months in... Eugh. Food is horrible! OK, fruit is nice, I can do fruit. Can't look a salad in the eye. Can do lots of orange juice and superfood (thankfully!!). I've been taking Vita Synergy For Women for about a year, and noticed the other day that the recommended 6 tablets a day has 800mg of folic acid in it. Pre-pregnant women and newly-pregnant women are supposed to have at least 400mg, so that covers it nicely. Plus Vita Synergy isn't artificial, it's all whole-food derived stuff. Fab. Also been swigging some ionic minerals. Have stopped taking all herbs and stuff, not going to risk Tiny getting all hall of mirrors on me. So I've not puked yet, though I feel almost permanently that I've just got off a boat. All wobbly in head. Ginger tea really helps. And I can't eat any fat without feeling ill. Am doing DHA and the flax/hemp/coconut oil combo to get all the EFAs Tiny needs. I put them in a smoothie, so the fat is dispersed and it doesn't affect me so much. And I love Sweet Wheat at the moment. I can eat loads of that in orange juice. Actually, my body prefers sweet wheat to superfood right now, I think that'd be because of the lack of alkaloids in it. I reckon that's why I can't look at a salad. Bananas are on the list, and strangely, so is unpasteurised miso, made into a soup. Odd thing, pregnancy. OK, so that's enough about Tiny's tales. Am sure I won't be able to stop writing about it now I've started, though. Well, the journal was getting a bit samey, wasn't it? Funny, coz my mum said "You do know you won't be able to travel all over like you do now, don't you?" And I went "But that's just it. I feel like I've done everything else in my life." Not like I had "Have baby" on my to do list, but you know what I mean! Next
