It has been a rough 8 months and my family has been through <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">a lot</span>! A lot of very hard trying times. Things are still not going smoothly but it is time to put my foot down so to speak and come back to putting my wellness first! I got lost in the "world" again. I stopped eating raw and doing yoga and slowed my meditation down. Some of it was do to multiple moves in a short period of time with 4 kids and no partner to help or support the process! So I will go easy on myself!<br /><br />Now is the time for me and my communion with the divine. Getting back to the things that help me serve in God's love in a more pure channel! So back to Raw foods, Yoga, walking, meditating, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">writing</span> here!<br /><br />I am not one for New Year's resolutions but by golly I am gonna do it...<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span><br />I will begin making changes this year and taking the time to put my wellness back in order!<br />Starting now I will allow the energies that support the way I want to live to flow in!<br />I can only take good care of my kids, family, and friends when I am in the "Flow"....<br /><br /><br />Loving you always!Vibrantly Rawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09439400371574899908noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283955534904610650.post-19404984717071849152009-06-02T17:42:00.000-07:002009-06-02T17:48:15.529-07:00I Miss writing!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCSYw5Omd53Wtywcwsnje8uYAZ0jucViEK0tY_Gfu6n3pt49Bm3bRdpBOz0ATSCMMTr00Ox5Y7onIAgqYUxK8vQZemhP3QoRehWT8xpb_ztmEiRAa8gwR42Jtlko6F-iJZWXS1BacD4zU/s1600-h/angels.jpg"></a>It has been to long and I miss <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">writing</span>.

I was starting to get annoyed that it wasn't easing up. I know I still have weight to lose & the detoxing is still taking place but these are strong! Dairy and Pasta combined is what my cravings[& ego] are telling me to eat! Now I know that they are both not serving and I want to continue on my all Raw Diet. But I still had that voice in my head telling me that just once won't hurt and that I could just go back to being Raw immediately after. I am sure you know how this is! The voice of ego trying sabotage! At the same time I was dealing with a lot of mucus coming out of my nose and sometimes throat[yuck]! I was feeling run down, tired and just wanted my old comfort foods!!!! Then today I put the 2 together! I realized information I already knew about and had placed away. I was detoxing the dairy and pasta and that the mucus/toxins are leaving my body! It is wonderful to put it in perspective and to intellectually have a reason to override the ego with.My ego can now no longer throw it's Tantrum and I feel more on track! The cravings are still there but I am able to sit in my truth much stronger!</div><div>How did/do you deal with cravings? Did they go away eventually?</div><div> </div><div>LOVE ALWAYS</div><br /><p> </p>Vibrantly Rawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09439400371574899908noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283955534904610650.post-20045200549848188172009-03-19T06:44:00.001-07:002009-03-19T07:01:12.947-07:00Simply Raw DVD Review<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA5NAZGYsYY5oBojGfY2IT4xSQ4vpwWE6pVYTQaXmg8RVAAGzxp6XRrPLzpVZs4eXjj5r1XPGwZ4ULKoGaBQuEzCdmiE2zAAUbvCYLsdhkOATEHN2rjkpB6mDD8hLWPhGtNUAl5PRz9KY/s1600-h/Simply+RAw.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314894641448936034" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 118px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 166px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA5NAZGYsYY5oBojGfY2IT4xSQ4vpwWE6pVYTQaXmg8RVAAGzxp6XRrPLzpVZs4eXjj5r1XPGwZ4ULKoGaBQuEzCdmiE2zAAUbvCYLsdhkOATEHN2rjkpB6mDD8hLWPhGtNUAl5PRz9KY/s320/Simply+RAw.jpg" border="0" /></a> I watched the movie Simply Raw the other night & I feel it is a great movie! When I was done watching it I felt inspired to stay on the path that I already am on[eating all raw] & following my dream of helping people eat & heal with Raw Foods! It was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">definitely</span> an inspirational DVD!<br />I would say the most profound aspect of the DVD for me is the amazing, different & individual <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">approaches</span> each of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">participants</span> brought to this! Spiritually I felt very confirmed on a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">lot</span> of the different aspects of the ego and how to overcome them. I saw all the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">participants</span> as an aspect of myself and learned more about myself through watching it! I was also confirmed by the amazing success they had and how to take the the aspects of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Kirt</span>[very positive, strong and supportive] in to my own way of life. I, like him LOVE healing through Raw foods and would love to share the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">support</span>, knowledge and love with others!<br /><br />I would recommend this DVD to anyone wanting to feel inspired in their life!! All levels of Raw interest would find enjoyment and Love with this DVD!

I am changing on so many levels! I was not aware of the depth of these changes. I knew that my body, health & psychic abilities would change and become more in tune with the universe! I heard others speak of their changes and transformations. I noticed that their stories were inspiring & beautiful but I did not get the depth! Not until I lived through my own changes and continue to do so am I realizing in my core what others speak of!<br />I knew on so many levels why I did not want to eat meat anymore and to no longer put such a low vibration in my body! Now I am realizing even more how one person can make a significant difference! When I purchase organic raw foods I am telling the universe what to produce more of! The single purchase of something <span style="color:#ffff00;"><span style="color:#000000;">that is not serving</span> </span>[meat, drugs, alcohol, porn, & processed foods] affects what the divine energy of creation will be manifested in to. The world only makes what there is a calling for. Once again I am feeling how much the power is put in my hands and how I choose to live my life. <span style="color:#336666;">My outer world is a direct reflection of my inner world</span>. I can choose which direction to send the powerful manifesting energy of the divine! I, as one single person makes a difference! I choose to make a beautiful difference! I love Our Earth and I choose to serve God by loving her and treating her with kindness! She is me and there is no separation! LOVE! How do you make a beautiful difference? Please share with us! I also ask what is one more way you can make an even more beautiful difference today? What action can you take? I am going to make even more steps in to making my home a green home! That is my next step[s]. Please share with us!=-) <3 <3<br /><br /><span style="color:#cc0000;">Loving You Always<br /></span>Vibrantly Rawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09439400371574899908noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283955534904610650.post-28966569501609022472009-03-14T05:57:00.000-07:002009-03-14T06:50:25.563-07:00Chocolate Mousse and Hazelnut Vanilla Cookies<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE-NHNH3VriFIgvMlD5An1RRlIU5x9on_0B0CDi8E-zUAAU3R33EaiwoNJRMJKGrSP22LR5dKVWDgz0mkr3vVBENgB2y7T0ibQ-AoYSViYCx17p9xUEzarUnnDfPxj4FVNUq4rL5gs5pU/s1600-h/100_0225.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313027721578619586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE-NHNH3VriFIgvMlD5An1RRlIU5x9on_0B0CDi8E-zUAAU3R33EaiwoNJRMJKGrSP22LR5dKVWDgz0mkr3vVBENgB2y7T0ibQ-AoYSViYCx17p9xUEzarUnnDfPxj4FVNUq4rL5gs5pU/s200/100_0225.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTxcCavVWAPyqvSc3M18DN1DDMhkZgOCsdn30NMssrulq-gD4TQ2yArdkwj3GTNi3R2Vgx8zqdYVMHFVsrbPYdv_7CzVQRLaD57T-1-A4bxfbEvAMWfFz3FfASjp4cQNLNkdYmJRhjUOA/s1600-h/100_0223.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313027715881837634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTxcCavVWAPyqvSc3M18DN1DDMhkZgOCsdn30NMssrulq-gD4TQ2yArdkwj3GTNi3R2Vgx8zqdYVMHFVsrbPYdv_7CzVQRLaD57T-1-A4bxfbEvAMWfFz3FfASjp4cQNLNkdYmJRhjUOA/s200/100_0223.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjubEXd85dd3-hSO1ia67d_nfJiTvQoT6O_0qAtwFUkOiQIg3gBQFeZ7KC7dx-Wo6rl_y03KMy2YPmbIUNkMKyjyvC8qOXWU04R7f9vCumLji3R1oIhGqXkQjoFl3IXcUiYmB_VqUwgaHo/s1600-h/100_0217.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313027709731488706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjubEXd85dd3-hSO1ia67d_nfJiTvQoT6O_0qAtwFUkOiQIg3gBQFeZ7KC7dx-Wo6rl_y03KMy2YPmbIUNkMKyjyvC8qOXWU04R7f9vCumLji3R1oIhGqXkQjoFl3IXcUiYmB_VqUwgaHo/s200/100_0217.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Anyone who knows me knows that I am the Chocolate Mousse Queen!

I am very excited. I am "magically" meeting the right people at the right time! People are open to taking charge of their lives and are coming to me. I am at home loving Raw Foods, reading & learning all that I can, and living with an open heart. It has been almost effortless to start this. The universe is weaving together a beautiful story that I am blessed to be a part of! 2 hours before the call came I was all of a sudden "given" a name for my Raw Food business. There was a paper and pen right next to me on the couch and I started scribbling all kinds of ideas. I will share another time the name. I am not 100% sure what I am going to pick yet. So before I make any announcement I want to be sure.=-) I can't help but see the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">synchro</span>-destiny in the timing of my name and the call for the workshop. Also, when then call came in, I was creating a new recipe to make "rice paper" for Thai spring rolls. As you can tell.... I am VERY excited and Thank you for taking the time to read the musings of my heart.</div><div></div><div>Thank you universe for the abundance you have brought and are continuing to bring in to my life!

The whole time I saw what aspect it was and what was causing it. I made the choice to stand up for my life and stand in the fire for myself!!! Give Myself the encouragement I often give others and my kids. It was time for me to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">receive</span> the same love I give to others. I have made the choice to start a Raw Food business and the universe had delivered the help SO FAST AND WONDERFULLY. Thank you God! I will be honest though. It pushed self worth buttons. My nervous system was on edge. I could feel the need for old patterning to be looked at then let go of. I am sure as no surprise to you all, I also started craving cooked foods. My ego tried to talk me into eating <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">continuously</span>! I heard all the voices trying to tell me that I can not succeed and that Raw Foods is to radical and that everything should be in moderation. All those old voices[the ego] that had me trapped in the world of food addiction and that was comforted with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">unserving</span></span> foods. I am relieved to say that I did not cave this time around! I know for me that an all Raw diet is best. I could not have done with out faith[it was tested though]!!! It is now over 3 months! I could hear the voice of addiction speaking to me and I could also see the old me that used to listen to those voices. Boy oh Boy...... no wonder why my nervous system was on edge....</p><p>Today I feel more confidant, strong, and loving. Able to be more loving and compassionate for others and myself. Today I am going to make more steps towards my dreams and goals.=-) Right Now I am in a deep state of Gratitude for all that I have. I can not do any of this with out God & meditation being my constant companion!

That is what has been on my mind the last 24 hours. Being in the Alternative Healing Field for over 6 years now this has been a common subject in my thoughts.</div><br /><br /><div>Raw foods has brought me to a new level of awareness on this. If my body is telling me something is wrong then it is most important to listen to what it is saying first and foremost. When it comes to my body I can feel what it is telling me and then use my inner voice as to what action to take. I realized how much I was and society is taught to take medicine first, then feel better and then go about your life. Without ever really looking at the route cause of what is going on. We are not taught to trust our bodies wisdom and that we all hold the knowledge within ourselves. I was taught to give that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">power</span> away & to trust the people in the white coats. The doctors and lab tech.'s that are testing these medicine's out on animals. So we are putting something in our bodies that is artificially created and then cruelly tested on a another being. To top it off they didn't test it on humans[we can sue] because they were not sure if it was safe. This all seems absurd to me now. Please don't get me wrong, I am <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">soooooooooooooo</span> grateful to these people, animals, and medicine's. They all have their place in the world and I am just bumping along trying to find my place in the world with all that is available. Letting go of old ways that do not feel serving for me & the kids anymore.</div><div> </div><div>My whole life I never heard anyone address the route cause of the symptom. Never had I have someone say to me, look at what you are eating and educate me. It always came with judgment and a lack of sharing the knowledge with me[if they had it]. Look at the toxins and that is what your body is trying to say. I have been taught to work with energy and have been doing that for a long time but never down to the food. What I am putting in my body was hardly ever addressed. Especially growing up. Energy before form, the power of thoughts and all of this is so important and VERY Accurate. But our bodies react to what we eat and drink, strongly! So why don't we start there? Do the energy work and if <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">absolutely</span> necessary a doctor and/or medicine. <span style="color:#330099;">My life is now about living a life that is naturally about prevention. The power lies within me not outside of me.</span></div></div><br /><p>With my kids I am trying to get to a place of comfort. I am doing my best but the old conditioning is harder to let go[for me] when it comes to my kids. I was taught that if they have a fever give them Motrin or Tylenol, let them run around and allow them to run down their bodies even more. My instinct is to let the fever run it's course with no medicine. But then I get scared of harming my Angels. I have come to a place of slowly seeing what happens. Now I only give them medicine for fevers when it gets VERY high and if it is high right before bed. Simply because I can not watch them if I am sleeping. My ego fights with my inner voice and I find it hard to decipher what is"best" for them. I feel some fear because it is not my body and I can't always tell what is going on within them. I do not take medicine. I let whatever is going on to run it's course. But I am deeply in tune with my body and if I was to truly get scared I would get my butt to a doctor. But how do I know what to do with the kids? So the voice of the ego and social conditioning is what is being released at this time. I am seeking a place of knowledge, intuition and wisdom.</p><p>As with myself, I know that the kids bodies are telling us something as well. But they were brought up on dairy and cooked foods. I have gone Organic[when available] with the dairy and I am bringing in more and more Raw Foods. This is still a process and the older kids 12 & 7 are not going as easily as the 3 and 5 year old. I am grateful for the medicine for helping me with my kids but I would like to get to a place where we are in charge of our health and will no longer have to have this as a concern. I would also like to say that it is not often that my kids need to have any medicine at all but this is what is coming up. </p><p>Does anyone know any good books on this subject? I am seeking a place within that has wisdom, intuition and also having the knowledge to back it up.=-)</p><p> </p><p>Love Always</p>Vibrantly Rawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09439400371574899908noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283955534904610650.post-13935663763107291782009-02-26T13:49:00.000-08:002009-02-26T14:05:18.935-08:00Random MusingsI started an Herbal Cleanse last week and I was doing great. Since I was already eating Raw Vegan foods I didn't go through the deep symptoms that they warned you about=-) It was another confirmation for me. How much healthier my body is eating 99% Raw. But this week I am going through something but I am not sure if I caught something from the kids or if it is part of the detox/cleanse. So this cleanse will last another 5 weeks. I can't wait to move through this part and feel better on the other side. I think it might be a slight cold. My throat feels irritated and almost sore. Either way I am looking forward to feeling better!=-)<br />It is getting warmer here. Which is wonderful! It has been a clod winter. I mostly was in the house with 3 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of pants and 2 shirts. It drove me nutty but staying <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">committed</span> to Raw was more important, and I am glad I made it through. <br />I am also glad that I do 99% Raw. I eat very little nutritional yeast, Grade B maple syrup, and rice paper for spring rolls. But otherwise I am all Raw. I am loving it!!!!<br /><br />Loving you alwaysVibrantly Rawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09439400371574899908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283955534904610650.post-59017550998920263092009-02-23T08:48:00.001-08:002009-02-23T09:37:46.841-08:00Nominated For an Award=-)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirYds1jBJXpafFRS_Lwce2N65hpSTgW5PIdSYVSl4vZFIgDA8YT-ARfIChOsAJIJOM2jS6F3dXiEdGA1l0gc9_UAVMZQlPMlFVU3rBBfLJ0XKPje0pRZ1yKXZfdEonGBKYbebc89Jj_JQ/s1600-h/award_kreativ_blogger.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306035953341725426" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirYds1jBJXpafFRS_Lwce2N65hpSTgW5PIdSYVSl4vZFIgDA8YT-ARfIChOsAJIJOM2jS6F3dXiEdGA1l0gc9_UAVMZQlPMlFVU3rBBfLJ0XKPje0pRZ1yKXZfdEonGBKYbebc89Jj_JQ/s320/award_kreativ_blogger.jpg" border="0" /></a> Thank you Paulina for nominating me for this award.

If you have not heard Snatam then I invite you to give her a listen to and feel the music in your heart and allow the Grace to gift you. Her web-site is <a href="http://www.snatamkaur.com/web2.html">http://www.snatamkaur.com/web2.html</a>. Her music plays while you are on her site. Beautiful! She is coming to Kripalu soon.<br />7.

Since I have gone Raw my "eyes" have been opened to so much around me. It is like a cloud is lifted off of you. For me it is slowly & steady. As the cloud lifts I am seeing so much more. This is amazing and can be a bit in your face. The energy feels clear enough that I can see situations for what they are. As my out <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">molded</span> ways are being presented, I can feel a little confused. Having moments of what do I do now. Being Raw has put me in a perpetual state of letting go. Internally mostly but externally as well[cooked food]. I am getting the vision of a bubbling fountain in the core of me that just gently keeps going. I am being "blended" up and releasing so much. Going Raw for me is a whole life detox. It has been wonderful.</div><div>Right now I am seeing how I was brought up in a brain washed system. Schools, parents, families, nutrition systems, peer groups, fashion, and Dr.'s. I am sure the list can go on. I can see the madness of it all. Where as before I was aware of it but the patterns were not so visible to me. I do feel that I was blessed as a child to be psychic, sensitive and aware. Some how through the troubles of childhood I never lost it. So at a young age I am able to think for myself and break free from the thoughts of others that no longer serve my way of life. I FULLY recognize that most are doing it with love and believe that they are doing what is best.=-) I am grateful for the love and the knowledge that it has all brought. It has all gotten me to where I am today! Raw Foods has put me MUCH MORE in touch with my inner voice that guides me through my life. I always had this voice but often fought it, ignored it or simply didn't recognize it. Now I can hear my inner voice and act upon it with less "stuff" in the middle.</div><div>I am grateful for this inner voice because it is what brought me to Raw Foods. Letting me know 2 years ago that it was the path for me and slowly but surly getting me here.</div><div> </div><div>Loving You Always</div>Vibrantly Rawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09439400371574899908noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283955534904610650.post-89276655572819840332009-02-17T16:51:00.000-08:002009-02-17T17:05:25.194-08:00Lemon Cheesecake...

I just went through a big part of my emotional detox! A very welcomed event but a process none the less. </div><div>One of the benefits and enlightening things I have been going through is seeing relationships so much clearer. Raw has taken a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">veil</span></span> off and I can see patterns so much easier. It actually almost feels like I don't have a choice. I can see my part and also the others. I can see the patterns that were holding me emotionally in these relationships the way I was. So now I am learning how to stay in certain relationships with these new <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">awareness's</span>. Wondering if it is time to let go, need to change my perception , or maybe both.</div><div>I am moving in the direction of unconditional love for all beings. But aren't some relationships unhealthy and meant to leave? So I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">learning</span> how to be in the flow of unconditional love, non-<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">judgment</span>, and not being a doormat.</div><div>One step I have grown in a healthier direction with this is to<em> lovingly</em> voice my truth. If someone is seemingly mistreating me then I can speak up. I do not have to sit silently and then go and meditate on it. Communication is so important! Not be in a place of blame but being in a place of truth and love.</div><div>Doing my own emotional work around the situation is the most vital step for my growth as well. My outer <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">environment</span> is a direct reflection of my inner <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">environment</span>. So all is my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">responsibility</span>. All situations in my life is created by some form of belief, pattern, or emotion I am carrying within me. The more I embody God's pure Love then the more I will be in loving <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">relationships</span> and situations. Things will still happen but my relationship to what is happening will be from a completely different place.</div><br /><div>I am so happy for the clarity that being Raw has given to me in my life.

I have lost 22lbs. to date.=-) I am happy and I know that my body is healing, and that I am taking good care of my mind , body, and spirit. Since I have gone Raw, my dreams have increased & there's more clarity around them . Yesterday I woke from a dream that left me feeling emotional. So I was the witness of "me" being funky yesterday. Then last night I broke down crying. I cried for at least 2 hours straight. I was healing so many things that I never allowed myself to feel. I even went into the thoughts and emotions my Mom felt while I was in her. I never realized how much food and weight was my safety net in the world. I was aware, but not in depth. I allowed myself to cry and witnessed it. Knowing that it is just a movie on the movie screen called human life. I surrounded myself with the most beautiful unconditional love and allowed myself to go through what I was experiencing. <div><div><div> As I lose the weight the emotions can be so "in my face". Which is new for me, a once cooked food emotional eater. I know that it is wonderful that this healing is taking place, freeing myself from so much inner turmoil. While I was eating the cooked food I wasn't even aware of all these emotions and patterns. I was making myself comfortably numb. It is good that I am finally looking at all of this instead of hiding behind food and old patterns. I can let go and just be.</div><div> </div><div>Freedom=-) </div><br /><div><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Love always</span></strong></div></div></div>Vibrantly Rawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09439400371574899908noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1283955534904610650.post-60908280313095346812009-02-03T16:17:00.000-08:002009-02-03T16:35:21.896-08:00Sweetie Potato Goodness<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEk8aT5lxigjn4qY-lFMJyZprBdIvXoGc37GnKJlkVurzNizF3hXcFXacy7DX8v_m4Kf-nkiW2hRuojnXGA12Pha-xXVu1JQbE4x6hQH7kY9rv_ukIcZTMEuo5GLpCSF-dSxiL1FKyRNA/s1600-h/5aday_sweet_potato.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298733427174299426" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 142px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEk8aT5lxigjn4qY-lFMJyZprBdIvXoGc37GnKJlkVurzNizF3hXcFXacy7DX8v_m4Kf-nkiW2hRuojnXGA12Pha-xXVu1JQbE4x6hQH7kY9rv_ukIcZTMEuo5GLpCSF-dSxiL1FKyRNA/s200/5aday_sweet_potato.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>All I can say is Wow to the cheesy Sweet <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Potato</span> Chips.

I was talking and would suddenly be congested in my throat and need to blow my nose[beautiful]. Thick yellow mucus was coming out! A lot of it and in periods through out the morning. It was weird but I was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">soooooooooooooooooo</span> and am so happy that it was happening! It is gone never to return. Because I am choosing a Raw Vegan lifestyle once I have toxins leave my body they are not coming back! I will still have more detoxing to do but only because of the choices I made in the past. My body is happy and on the way to be being mucus free, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Yahoooo</span>=-) I am presently doing the mucus free dance in my chair...!!!</div><br /><p>I also tried a couple of new recipe's this morning. I tried Raw Cinnamon Rolls. Very easy to make and they are good! Very sweet but good! Samantha[3] LOVED them and Ethan[5] did as well. I also have Raw Vegan Cheesy Sweet <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">potato</span> chips in the dehydrator. I have salt and vinegar chips and cheesy <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">potato</span> chips in as well. I look forward to trying them! </p><p>Loving You Always</p>Vibrantly Rawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09439400371574899908noreply@blogger.com4
