Living Example~

[GlimR]

I go grocery shopping on Sunday mornings...always the produce section first and load my basket up with everything I want for the week....a beautiful sight to see. I have the day off tomorrow for my anniversary, a rarity on a weekday, so I will go to Costco to get all my produce instead this time. MY husband shops for food with me and his eating path is very different from mine. As I put the food on the belt I was appalled at what I was spending my money on...truly the only thing on there that I would eat was a bag of fresh peaches. I spent $140.00!! Ackkkkk.....hot dogs, three kinds of ice cream/ice pops, chips, cereal, cheese, pepperoni, meat, canned soup, sloppy joe mix, frozen oj, frozen stuff.........geez, I can't even rememeber what was there. I said there is no food here!! I clutched my peaches!!! :rolleyes:

I've been thinking about this...as I sit here drinking my freshly made almond and date shake.....how delicious!! I am not his mother and will not be. I was just so convicted that I need my own experiences, the changes in my own spirit and body to be what speaks to him. I don't need words....I need to be a living example of the power of raw food...raw life!

I know so many people here struggle with not having "raw" partners and family members and how it makes it so hard, a conflict. I felt that way too...but I see it differently today. I need to let my own light shine on the path for him not dwell in negative feelings that will change nothing and only add angst to both of us. So...will let it shine~ :)

PS.......He gave me a dozen beautiful roses...and a champion juicer for my anniversary....he wishes me well on this journey...love is the only way to lead~

I'm SINGLE and lovin' it for now. I think you are right to only lead by example. You don't want to have raw carrots flying everyday. I see how you feel about your money going of junk food. You can really live cheap on RAW, even if you only do sprouts. I had much rather go SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES than to go junk food shopping.
Seems like he loves you and supports you. So if he wants a nasty old POK chop, get the thongs to handle it and FRY IT UP..........A blessed Journey to you.
