What has raw asked of you in your life?

[Colorawdo girl]

What has being raw,cleared and cleaned out for you,and asked of you in your life?
To move to the country and have a garden?

To get new friends?

To buy new clothes?

To look at what? through new eyes?

To live somewhere else?

What has raw progressed you to do and be?

[freshlight]

Nearly everything's changed since then. Raw gives you a clear mind.
It would be great to have a garden. Have you got one? I can imagine how much fun it is!

[Colorawdo girl]

to be authentic and true

[DancerGirl]

OMG raw is AMAZING!

Here I was, living in the city, (uggh, lol), happily heading to nursing school every day, and WORST of all I actually gave my horse away because I couldn't afford to keep him (although I gave him away rather than sold him so I could get the best possible place, and I have absolutely NO doubts that he is super happy! He is roaming around on 65 acres with a bunch of friends!)

After a really rough emotional detox, I really started to see that this is NOT my life path!! I don't just want a farm, I NEED a farm. I had a deep talk with my fiance and we have decided to change our plans. We are both going to work our butts off to save for a farm, and I am going to grow organic veggies to sell at the farmers market, among other things. Mitch has also agreed to try raw for 30 days, and hopefully his true dreams in life will come clear to him too, because he has NO idea what he wants right now, and is just feeling discouraged.

So, I think raw has asked me to open my eyes and really follow my true life path. To be true to my family (fiance and son) and myself rather than trying to make my parents "proud of me" and to stop trying to hide the truth with food.

Also to do things that are really scary for me. I was afraid to follow my dreams in case I failed, but I can't succeed if I don't try!!!
I am so stoked for life!!

Yay for raw! lol

lifeAgift said it all

[contessa20]

So far, over the last 3 months raw has simply asked me to love and respect myself as a valuable human being - to take care of myself and value ME as an important person.

[freshlight]

DanceGirl: you sound really beautiful,-your raw power just shines through. Congratulations!
Cris: this is the most valuable lesson which I am learning now too. Good for you,-you have lots of things to be proud of.

[Colorawdo girl]

Dancergirl.....we live in the same city.?..hahaha Yes the "farm" calls me too. A better energizing place and space for me. The chaos of city life. wow.

I love horses.I visit a horse stable once a week.I feel such a connection with them,an inexplicable one. This last week there was a new 8 month old. She was beautiful.Her eyes and eyelashes swept me away.

So I am looking for where my peaceful life will be.

Thank you so much for sharing.I heard you for sure and related very much.

And yes..to be authentic and true and loving and valuing yourself.Well said.This I do first,then I have a boatload to give to others!!!

[RaeVynn]

So, since going raw (almost exactly two months ago!), I've had this fabulous plan to get the fence put up around our yard (it's nearly finished!), and get some planting beds put together, and grow my own greens! :)

[Colorawdo girl]

I love that idea. Growing always makes me very happy. I am looking where my garden will be. It might be way across the u.s.!!!!

[Colorawdo girl]

Bumping up guys.I want to hear more about this from yoooooooo!

[cherry.chops]

1) have a sence of humour

3) learn to trust myself
4) have responsibilty
5) stay strong

[~ladybug]

DancerGirl... thank you. I've been eating very high raw but
feeling lately like I want to know what it's like to be 100%.

What you expressed is exactly what I need in my life ~ dh & I both.
... that kind of direction, clarity.

Thank you!

[diamondscape]

To see how beautiful I am.
To see how beautiful others are... Um I guess beauty in all things.

And I am on a farm now. A year ago when I went raw. I just said yes to land on a deep level. And I kid you not several months later we had it. Miraculously really.
And now I am growing food and yes dreaming of horses someday... but just loving how keen my senses are now. I can wander around on the land and feel truly a part of the sights smells and sounds and not seperate like I did before.
Raw helps with that!!!

[Colorawdo girl]

wooooooohooooooooooo good for you...love it.

[LiveLife]

Going raw has changed many things for me. It has helped me to think more clearly and to see the world around me in the way I have always wanted to see it -being intuitive with myself and others. It has also been nagging at me more and more each day to move out to some place that is natural, like a raw vegan village where you live off the land with other families. I know that there is one being built right now and I was surprised when I came across it bc I was thinking that there should be one like the day before! But the idea of moving away from friends and family is hard. However, I feel lost right now and can't find a job here with either of my degrees so I am contemplating moving anyways....

Anyways, all in all raw has provided me with a beautiful path for my life and the life of my children; where it takes me I am yet to find out... :)

[raw runner]

just one question and i'd like everybody to answer it...

HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO CONTROL YOUR RAW EMOTIONS???

i can't, i don't know why,please help me,sometimes it is too much...
The fact is when i eat cooked meals,it is like being asleep and then when you eat raw...BOOM...My emotions explode like a bomb....
suddenly you are so aware of what is going around you...but i can't deal with it, it is very very good in a way but the way it delivers its power to me, it is like a powerful bomb ready to explode...so powerful that 2 months ago, i lost my job because i couldn't stand the hypocrisy of my collegues...sometimes i behave like i am away, i mean i am there physically but my mind is somewhere else...speaking of my job, i left it without understanding what was going on, i was acting like another ME, like my conscious mind was not there to control what i was doing...and my subconscious dominated me.Even with my relatives and friends, when i found they were lying to me on some subjects i decided to avoid them in my life...and i do the same with all the negative things,like a fast where you stop all the crappy foods...it's all or nothing, where am i going???


i need an explanation...please i need help...i am destroyed right now...

[Colorawdo girl]

I already answered this....under this thread....I WILL SAY RAW IS CALLING YOU TO BE ALL YOU CAN BE. This is merely your perception of how it feels. May not be real even tho it feels that way. It is ok. It will pass and you will walk into the light and see it all so clearly.

When we are on strong paths, we are given strong shoes. You CAN do this and the rewards will be incredible.

[LiveLife]

All of these emotions may mean you are learning more about yourself. If you can understand these emotions and learn to control them you will learn more about who you are. I went through this too. Keeping a journal has helped me a lot to understand myself and to learn more about me. It has been a wonderful learning experience :)

thanks for your comment but for me it was scaring...i never felt this way
colorawdogirl,thanks for the help too

[savvvy]

raw has asked me to be brave and patient with myself.

[margoss]

Livelife...there is a raw village in Ojai CA. I've read a lot about it. You could visit. I have to be honest, it's out of my price range but looks beautiful.
I'm more aware of things like a use to be several yrs ago. More patience with myself. I realize where I want to be & where I don't. It's ok to not be where I don't want to be. I truely feel us being called to a coastal living. Don't know when but I think about it all the time. We were at the Cape 2 weeks ago. We sat on the beach for several hrs & both had the most amazing peace in ourselves & with each other. We're both coastal people. I have no idea what I would do for work....know what I would like to do. I've realized how important it is for me to get over the fear of not being able to things on my own with my DD. My H & I had plans together for our family, it's hard to think about continuing those plans on my own yet they are becoming more prominent to me daily. I'm even discussing it with DD. I feel more & more like I don't fit in many places. People think I'm weird, I think or maybe I think I'm weird;). Gossip grates me & it's harder for me to tolerate those who do this for fun & are phony.

[rawrawks]

Raw has asked me to go beyond all I can BE, do so much I never thought i could do and most of all ,LOVE like never before. The love I have for others is the best part.

Well the really greatest part is my spirituality combined wth raw living. They have become one and what a power packed plan that is!!! Profound beyond any imagination!!! Raw rawks!!!
