Hey ya All.
My name is Sarah, but often times go by Phoenix. I am a 29 year old rawhead living in Ontario Canada. We own an organic farm here and also Unschool our 4 babies. I have been 100%raw for two weeks now, but have been GOING raw for about a year seriously. slowly going from 10% to 100% raw. I love this lifestyle and I love the people I come in contact with because of it. My choose to go raw really came because my life was falling apart. My health sucked, I was depressed , overweight (215lbs), impatient, tired , angry, and my marriage was on the rocks (partly because I was a horriable person to be around and because I hated sex). Now, only two weeks later (only 2 weeks 100% raw), I am no longer depressed, I am happy, sane, patient, caring , thoughtful, 194lbs (I know thats alot to drop but holay crap I feel great and am constantly eating), and my sex life is starting to actully come back into play. I am really happy with the way I feel. I am making the choice to join a community for a few reasons though, one being that I want to get more and more knowledge about being raw for the rest of my life, two I really need to support of like minded people and three I want to be able to share the knowledge I have gained with other people.
So thats me in a nutshell. A raw organic nutshell, but one none the less.
cheers

Welllcome, you'll grow to love this place.
I sure have.

A fellow Canadian, eh?! I'm from Nova Scotia, and will be headed to Ontario in the summer, and I was looking at WWOOfing (willing workers on organic farms), to get a feel for what it is you do.

Congrats on two weeks of 100%! It's pretty hard, but it pays off, trust me. Trust everyone here, they know what they're talking about!!

Anyway, welcome!
:)
I'm adding you to my buddy list! I love keeping track of Canadian rawbies. :D

Welcome pheen! So nice to meet you!!!:D I also homeschool/unschool! My daughters are about to turn 6 and just turned 3. They're about 98% raw if I had to estimate! Hubby and I are 100%. We went from junk food junkies to 100% raw overnight! We're all enjoying this lifestyle, it's been over 3 months now!! But I took about 14 months before hand learning and researching everything there is to know about being raw. I'm so glad you're loving it to, what awesome results!! So glad to have you here at the forum- Please jump right in, I look forward to getting to know you better!!

ps- I'm so envious that you're an organic farmer! Oh, life doesn't get much better than what you've described!!!
