Hello to everyone, my name is Diana (sharpmates) and I have been reading on this forum about three weeks now, ever since I got Alissa's dvd. What a wealth of information and encouragement I have found so far.

I am a vegan who has thought about going raw for many years, but I just couldn't figure it out. Once I saw the dvd, it was like a lightbulb went off in my head and I am just feeling so good about it.

I am 57 years old and determined to be healthy. I thought vegan was the answer but I can see how much more affective rawism is. I have grown children (one who tends to follow a healthy path and a daughter in law who is also very interested in staying healthy) I live with dh who is not into healthy eating and my mom who is even worse than dh. So my hopes are once they see the visible signs from my eating this way, they will show some interest.

Anyway, I wanted to introduce myself so I could start to join in some of the great conversations I have read here.

I am so excited to have found you all and I love Alissa's book. If I had a coffee table in my living room, that is the book I would have on it.

ALOHA AND WELCOME TO RFT!!! rawk on!!! I love what you wrote about the coffee table... cuz... well - we dont drink coffee -- but I do have a table right next to my dh's chair.... I have left Alissas book there for 7 months (unless I'm using it -- but when I'm done with it -- it goes right back to that table!) dh has been staring at it for 7 months now.... and guess what....

yep... dh is reading Alissas book now -- and I am soooo thrilled!! heheheeee!!! :D and actually - I didn't leave it there for that purpose... it's just that I like Alissas book out and handy - cuz I use it ALL THE TIME... and re-read it ALL THE TIME!!.... this was definitely a blessing!

glad to have you joining us... look forward to reading your posts...

RAWK ON and enjoy the ride...
