going raw again

[theresaann]

Hi there,

My name is Theresa and I have been raw on and off for about 17 years. I'm going to go 100% again! It's been awhile, but I've experienced the clarity, spiritual and emotional peace and radiant health that 100% brings, and I want it back.

Today was my first day raw again, and after being vegan for the last year, this transition is already the easiest yet-so gentle. There is a lot to be said for transitioning to vegan cooked then raw.

Mostly I'm doing this for spiritual reasons and am really looking forward to the emotional peace and centeredness that I've experienced with 100% raw. After going through an incredibly painful breakup and losing a pregnancy this year, I am REALLY looking forward to the healing I know raw will bring.

Great to see so many new people doing raw, and some familiar friends as well on the board!

Many blessings and I'm so glad to be back :p

Hi Theresa!

I love your name - if we ever have a daughter I want to name her Theresa or Therese. So far adoption has brought us two wonderful boys...

I am so glad to know that raw has brought you spiritual and emotional peace. I have only been raw for about a month now but I can sort of see hopeful glimmers of that and I need all the help I can get :-)

I am so very sorry about your precious baby. My DH is infertile, so we tried adopting frozen embryos last year and lost the pregnancy as well. It helped me a bit to name the baby and talk to her now and then. It is an incredible stress on a relationship, too, since men and women handle it so differently. I hope that in the coming months you are healed in every way.

Sending you love and peace concerning the loss of your pregnancy....it's amazing how tight a mothers heart strings are to her children. There's nothing like the love of a mother.....you hang in there, things have a way of working themselves out over time. Judith

thanks, everybody, for your caring words~ It's so helpful!!

Yes, I am sad, but getting better, day by day. The man I was engaged to is unfortunately emotionally locked up, couldn't handle life, and disappeared, leaving me without our child but also a partner, all at once. But that was August and I'm doing much better, and even BETTER on raw!

Debrah-cool! Great to see you! I'll definitely email...it's wild to be out of the community and come back and see familiar faces.

Thanks everyone so much for the support~ Peace, Theresa :)

Welcome back! I lurked for a very long time before joining & I think I remember you from way back then.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how sad it is to lose a baby. I went through that twice last year. And to lose your fiance' as well, it must have been very hard.

The raw lifestyle is so healing, as you know. I can see why you've come back to it. I'm glad you're doing better. Best wishes & much love.:)
