This Thursday, August 13th, marks the launch of The Healthy Cookie: Unbaked, an inspiring journal that documents a life changing two years from a Crohn’s Disease diagnosis to naturally attained perfect health. This is not a guide on how to get you well but the very personal story of how I got well. More than anything, it documents my discovery of life lessons that don’t just apply to Crohn’s but that can help anyone going through any kind of challenge. All week I am sharing excerpts from the book along with my favourite healthy cookie recipes.
Here it is! (Why am I so nervous about this?) For the next 24 hours, you can get the e-book to download for just $10.99 CAD. After that the price takes a wee skip and jump to $13.99.
In case you missed the other posts on the book that include my favourite healthy cookie recipes and excerpts from the book, have a look here:

And That Is The End Of That… Sort Of, Written December 17, 2007
It is always strange when the end comes. Whether it is the end of a relationship, the end of a job or in my case, the end of school. We work at something for so long and then it is over. We look ahead to this end, sometimes with anticipation, other times with dread, with happiness or perhaps fear. Generally, endings are bitter sweet and the end of my insanely intense year of school is no different…
Now that I am done, given the way our world works, I am supposed to have the next step planned and ready. I am constantly being asked what I am going to do now. And uncharacteristic of me, I don’t really know. I am allowing the process to be the outcome in order to be open to whatever opportunities present themselves over the next few months before I make any definite decisions.
I have ideas about what I want to do with all my newly acquired knowledge. I have ideas of how I want to make some noise with the information that is swirling around in my head. I know that I want to help the people who want help. I know that I want to open the eyes of the people who don’t yet know they need to open their eyes…
I had Vanessa over for dinner last night and she sent me a message this morning thanking me and saying that she always feels so nourished when she leaves my home. Ultimately, that is what I want to do now that I am done school. I want each and every person in my life, every client I meet with, every attendee at one of my presentations, every student at one of my workshops, or every escapee on one of my retreats to feel nourished when they leave, whether that sense of satiety comes through information, food or the overall experience.
So yes, this may be the end of school but like all endings we experience in our lives, it really just represents the beginning of the next great experience.

How exciting! Congrats on the ebook! It will be a big success and help a lot of people, I have no doubt.
Just bought your book and can’t wait to read it. Way to go!
Got mine!
wish I could download it my Kindle though! That would be handy!
This ebook is so inspiring! Definitely a good purchase, congrats Meghan!
Congrats Meghan.
I am proud of you Meghan for having the strength for putting this book out in to the world. By putting this book out you’re saying, Here is this chapter in my life that is over and done with. Now I am healthy and strong and you can be too. Good Bye Healing Hello Strength!!
Hope I can follow in your footsteps
Meghan, your e-book is awesome! I’m finding I have to pull myself away from reading to get some things done… I’ve got to start cooking dinner for my family. thanks for being such an inspiration and your willingness to share. Blessings to you!
Meghan! The feedback looks great so far!! I’d love to buy this book! Is there any way I can do it without setting up a pay pal account?? Can’t wait!
Thank you for all your awesome feedback! Means so much.
I believe that with paypal or through e-junkie there is a link to pay with credit or debit card, without needing a paypal account. If that still doesn’t work, I can receive payment to my email address through interac transfer. Let me know if this is all too complicated.
They let you pay thru your link without paypal…I did.
you just have to add in your info… and keep going. It walks you thru it!
I just sucked it up and created a paypal account…Woohoo! Paypal isn’t real money, right? Heheh.
I just started following your website . . . and am completely intrigued! My boyfriend also has Crohn’s and about three years ago made some radical shifts to his diet, thus healing himself through food choices. He is free of all meds and thoroughly enjoying the liberating feeling of not being controlled by a chronic illness. If only his doctors weren’t so skeptical . . .
He has been strictly following the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (no grains, no refined sugar, low-lactose dairy) and I see that you do have some grains in your recipes. I look forward to learning more about your approach–and sharing your insights with him. It’s amazing what you can do with almond flour, but boy does he miss a good chocolate chip cookie
Congrats on your e-book! I can’t wait to check it out for myself.
