Passover begins tonight, and there is a song called “Dayenu” which means “it would have been sufficient”. Throughout the song, we mention something positive, and say “it would have been sufficient”, until we mention the next positive thing.

In other words, we are blessed with many things. For that, I have gratitude.

Yes, me too. I finally found something that works rather well for me and I’m still doing it, even in the middle of very cold weather. It’s been an interesting journey, to say at the least! Should be interesting to see what comes next for me.

Thanks for being the catalyst to help me make the necessary internal shift as far as how I relate to food. Your timely email last summer led me to the “Tim Ferris Diet.” When that didn’t work for me (but it worked for you and I’m very glad for you!), I was divinely led to the raw food/living food lifestyle where I’ve been ever since.

Hey there – yes I did mention that possibility. I was coming off a “natural high” of having visited London for the first time and had a fabulous time. The idea of living there is still somewhat tantalizing but the novelty has worn off a bit primarily because a few months have passed since I was there and we are in the middle of yet another winter here in the states. I’m not sure I’d want to move to a place that is also very cold at certain times of the year. As I get older, I find that I am preferring more gentle, warmer climates so who knows?

Yes, I heard about the record amount of snow London just got. Amazing, isn’t it? We’re also having a lot of snow here too, more than normal.

I’m glad you are a part of this community and that you are also living by example. That speaks louder than words, doesn’t it?

I, too, like your Gratitude rock. I have a Oneness rock that a friend painted and gave to me last year. It is sitting on my desk beside my computer. I think I will ask her to paint me a Gratitude rock to as a reminder of all that I am grateful for in my life. Thanks for the idea.

We all teach by example whether we know it or not. People, especially children, pay more attention to what we do rather than what we say. Some people, like Stephen, give us really good examples of what who we want to become in life. Thanks Stephen. I want to be as generous and gracious as you when I grow up.

I am glad to see that after all this time you have been able to do well with your eating goals. We chose different ways, but they all seem to work if you have the desire to stick with them.

Hope you are well.

Haha, nothing wrong with “cheating” and checking out my Twitter comments.

Well, Fla did skim my mind but I don’t think it’ll make the cut. Way too hot in the summer. Keep trying.

(Ok ok, :::ahem::: I cheated a bit…. I peeked at your twitter comments and saw one of your statement about Florida).

Haha, I haven’t decided where I’ll be moving to but like Corinne said, maybe I ought to have a guessing contest to see who comes up with the right place that I currently have in mind.

I will give you a hint – I’ve been contemplating a move to a place where the environment is more accommodating and where there’ll be plenty of fruits and vegetables in all their glory.

No, fruits like apples in regular foods have not caused me any problems. Everyone’s body handles things differently. That’s why it’s important to experiment and find what works for you.

For instance, I found that my digestive tract doesn’t care much for swiss cheese because it causes me to feel a lot of bubbles down there and release gas every five seconds. (not really but you get the picture). I also found that when eating chocolate chip cookies (that my neighbor gave me the other day), I felt digestive discomfort. I ended up throwing out the rest of the cookies and resolved not to buy swiss cheese again.

I am learning by trial and error what works and what doesn’t. Books like the Raw Food Detox Diet serve as guidelines, not written in stone.
