Another newbie in Wa. state!

[Pamelraw]

Hello everyone!
I'm glad to find a raw support group that has members in my area! Wohoo!
I am originally from Eastern Wa. (Selah) and there was NO ONE raw there, but me ( off and on).
My hubby is in the Army so we got stationed here at Ft. Lewis about 7 months ago, but bought property in Graham so we could have our horses with us! I told him I wouldn't move without them. LOL
Anyways short bio-just turned 35 and a serious health challenge (first discovered when I was 22) has yet again pushed me to living food to heal and flourish. Long story....ulcerative colitis is a degrading joy stealer. Truly horrid. I fasted late Feb. for about 3 weeks. Some juice, some fruit and finally the last three days water only. Never felt better! That's the crux of uc-you feel good if you DON'T eat-like death if you do....
Well anyways I'm working on staying raw now and rebuilding health and keeping the digestion working properly. Fruit and or juices are my friend! They never upset my digestion.
So "hi" everyone and thank you for all your bio's, photos, recipes, and support. I've been reading for a while.

Pamelraw,
Hi welcome to the RAW talk. There are 2 others here from your state that I know of. One is misslinda and the other is Rawkinlocs, she's one of the moderators on this board. Both of them can really help you out with info about your area :D

Hi Pamela,

Welcome and best wishes to you! :) btw, didn't you join a little while back?

[Pamelraw]

Hi everyone and thanks for the welcomes!
Misslinda, I believe this is the first time I've joined ANY raw food forum.... I did have my first post a few days earlier as a reply to someone else instead of as my own thread so maybe you saw that, but it's only a few days prior to my second post here.
I'm really excited to find this group and Alissa's recipes are keeping me raw!
