Hmmm..I wonder what it was that caused that reaction? Hmmm…hopefully you were able to pinpoint the cause. Thanks a lot for sharing.

You asked what my daughter had…a variety, gogi berries in a mixed smoothie, a lasagne with macademian nut cheese, zuch, tomato, mushroom, etc plus she tasted my meal, and had a nut mint choc chip ice cream. She does not only eat a raw diet but eats healthy. Thanks for your holistic suggestion, however she called me later yesterday as her condition got worse, she had gone to get medical attention and they gave her 2 shots.
Peace.

Hey there! You have no idea how much you’ve inspired me yourself! So glad you enjoyed this post and some of the others.

Yes, when you consistently sit down and write things you’re grateful for, amazing things happen in your life. Gratitude is really a very powerful energy to wrap yourself around because when you’re deeply immersed in it, the universe really responds to that and sends you even more of what you’re grateful for. Writing them down and sharing them on the Internet is like the compounding power factor. It’s like a strong broadcasting medium to the universe compared to writing on a piece of paper and keeping it to yourself. That’s why I do it online – to compound its power and it’s working!

I will send you an email about my online business that changed my life and might change yours as well. Thanks for your genuine interest and support. I can’t wait to meet you one day. It’s bound to happen.

As for SOBCon09, are you going? Hope so!

Awesome Ryan! I’m THRILLED. I love it when people are inspired to take whatever steps they need to improve their health by changing their dietary habits, in whatever form works for them.

The beautiful thing about my experience and sharing it with everyone on here is that I have absolutely no attachment to whether people take up the raw food lifestyle or not but if they do, I’m always excited to hear about it because I know it’ll change them for the better healthwise.

Letting me know that you’re interested in giving this a try is more than anything I could ask of the readers here. I’d love to know how you’re doing. Feel free to ask questions along the way. You’ll find others on here who might answer you back before I do – that’s how responsive the community has become here!

I was going to say “Good Luck” but decided that wasn’t quite fitting so how about this: “Best wishes for any amount of success you have on this new way of eating!”

Wow, I wish I could give you a hug to let you know how proud I am of your progress in eating healthier! Good for you that you have a slimmer stomach – doesn’t that feel GREAT? I know it does for me. In fact, when I’m sitting on my couch or in my office chair and I look down at a flatter stomach, I have to pinch myself to make sure it’s real. LOL. I feel wonderful about it so I know how you must be feeling. Congratulations!

Good for you that you’re letting things happen “naturally.” That’s the secret. Shhhhhh…..don’t tell anyone.

You are certainly one of the most eloquent writers I’ve met! The words you put out there come from your heart in a way that’s unmistakable. Thank you for pouring forth words that lifted and inspired me. You have a way of reminding me time and time again that I am on the right path. We all need that kind of reminding. And finally, they are words of love and strength – I cannot wait to meet you in a few weeks when I visit my brother for the holidays!

Like me, you’ve been on a magnificient journey of self discovery, working hard not to beat yourself up for missed signposts or goals but continuing forward, learning along the way. The biggest thing we do to hurt ourselves, I find, is that we have the potential to beat ourselves up for what did or didn’t happen. Don’t you find that to be true?

Anyway, I’m so glad you found your courage again. I’ll be sending you details about my new business which has changed my life and might change yours too.

I’m really excited to hear about your new business and felt my skin tingle when you talked about the revival of your entrepreneurial spirit – wow! I love that feeling. I’m about to launch something new as well and the experience of building it is exhilarating!

And congrats for the speaking spot at SOB-Con – WOW!!!

I am grateful that I am learning so much from your posts and for taking on the Raw food diet. I noticed my belly is slimming down slowly. (not having macca’s finally paid off!) I am glad to not to rush into the diet and instead just take it easy on a daily basis and let it happen natually.

I’m happy that we’ll get to connect when you’re in Virginia over the holidays, looking forward to it.

There is so much to be grateful for, but this week I am most grateful because somewhere between re-reading Tim Ferris’ “4-hour Work Week” and talking with Kenny, the guy who handles my honey-do list and puts up my Christmas decorations…I found my courage again. In just a single conversation from someone I hadn’t seen all year, I was blessed tremendously by being reminded of the things I had forgotten about myself.

I’d misplaced my courage this year. While making shifts and moving towards what I really wanted to do with my life with all of my heart, for a part of the year, I felt I was off-kelter. As I watched the coffers dwindle, so did my confidence as well as my creativity. In my heart, I felt my footsteps were being ordered by God, but fear came to camp out with me this year.

Yesterday, I found my courage again and it makes all the difference in living life. This precious blessing of courage has me marching to the inner drummer again, full of faith and confidence, knowing I am indeed on the right track and all is well. Courage…the elixir that heals it all.
