A friend came to visit me this weekend and I had been raving about the my new Raw food diets for weeks. I fixed a bunch of dishes for her and took her to a Raw foods restaurant in Berkeley. I knew she was hooked when we were out and about and she did not go to her favorites, but instead wanted to eat Raw.

She watched Alissa’s video and read her book and she stated when she gets home she is going to buy a food processor right away. She is so excited and I feel so excited for the both of us.

So, to celebrate my thrid week being 100% Raw, we sat and ate a sweet potatoe pie that I made especially for her and talked about this lifestyles and watched the Raw for life video.

She remarked how much weight I've lost and how clear my skin is and how vibrant I am now. We were definitely Rawkin this weekend.

Yay for you and your friend! You're fortunate to have one another for support. And your friend is fortunate to have such a knowledgable-about-raw friend such as you!

Wishing you and your friend good health and much happiness as you embark on your raw journeys! :)

Thank you all and it did feel wonderful to introduce something that is such an intregal part of my life to someone that I love. She was so receptive and I thought that she would get tired of me talking about it, but she never did. She tasted all the dishes and fell in love with the collard green wrap and sweet potatoe pie. We discussed how she might introduce Raw living to her mother who has alot of ailments and she fell in love with Cafe Gratitude which has become my favorite restaurant in the Bay Area. It was a wonderful weekend.
