So I keep getting compliments lately. It's all due to raw, so thought I'd share:

1 - There's this friend I have that I've known since high school. We kind of come in and out of eachother's lives, hanging out for a few months every 2-3 years. Anyway, he told me this week that I look better now than I did in high school - this is the best he's ever seen me, in fact. !!

2 - Our sweet little bartender at work asked me tonight, "hey, what size pants do you wear now, anyway? 4?" !!! I said, no way, these are 10's, are you kidding? She didn't believe me, then finally chalked it up to my being tall.

3 - This really sweet gay couple that come in pretty regularly to the restaurant just went gaga over me tonight, said my goodness, you've really lost weight and look wonderful. I kind of whispered to them why that was, and the one guy brightened up, and shared the story of a dear, dear friend of his in San Francisco who got AIDS. Though he eventually died from it (at the age of 30!), he said that the only way he survived as long as he did was because of his raw food diet - he was so convinced that the only way to deal with AIDS was by going raw, that he actually wrote a book about it, and gave it to his friend, my customer. He's been sitting on the manuscript for years, he said. I told him that I thought now might be the perfect time to get it published, as Raw is starting to get more mainstream. I think he just might do it!!

Isn't that cool?! Yay, raw.

Thanks, all.
Well the profile pic was actually taken a few months before I went raw. I was actually pretty unhealthy then, it's just a great shot from a professional photographer friend. Funny thing is, though - once I went raw, actually started feeling the way I look in that pic....

This is beautiful. There are no coincidences in our perfect Universe. The spirit of the man who transitioned wants you to have it - he knows you will get it published because you're passionate about raw foods. And because you're kindred spirits - I can feel it - both very old souls. And I know you already know it. :)

RH -
you know....... when we had this conversation, i felt it was very important that i impress upon him how perfect and good it would be to pursue publication at this point... i wasn't fully satisfied that i'd made my point, though, but felt it was out of my hands.
but now you've inspired me. i'm tracking down his email so that i can just remind him of our conversation, and offer any help proofreading he might need.
thanks for the nudge. :)
