that sounds splendid! I listened to your 1st interview with her and am definitely going to listen to this one too :) Thanks for letting us know

Thanks Rev! I too, enjoyed your first interview with her. I really enjoy and admire Jinjee and the family. I get Daily Raw Inspirations...this was today's:

I looked up "How to Find Your Bliss" online, and found this on WikiHow.....It doesn't really help with my question, which was about finding our calling, as this is more about how to be happy, - but I quite liked it anyway....Happiness is Health after all! -- But, beyond all this good stuff below, I realized yesterday that being around people who are in love with life and focused on God is the best thing for my "happiness health!"

"How To Find Your Bliss".....

1. Be grateful for being alive. A lot of people are too busy grumbling about things to be happy for life. Life is precious and daily recognition of your luck in being here is a must.
2. Count your friends. Whether you have two or twenty, every friend is precious. Let them know how much they mean to you - with compliments and kind words. They are an important part of your bliss, just as you are a part of theirs.
3. Read biographies. When great people who have impressed you have written about their lives, or someone else has written about them, you will get lots of tips and information on how to live life right.
4. Seek bliss deliberately. Don't let life's knocks squash you. Things are not always going to work the way you want to. Deal with that and don't lose your calm. Seek the silver lining and remember that you are wonderful and deserve your bliss.
5. Be a kind and fascinating person. When you are kind and listen well, others will gravitate to you. Practice kind thoughts everyday. If you feel anger, irritation or frustration, it is time to seek ways to deal with these feelings. Let the calm of life blow through you.
6. Be blissful. When you are happy, you are attractive, fun and enjoyable to be with. You are content with your lot and you are stable in your life's choices.

In Joy!

He's actually 60+ now. I'll see if I can remember to get his exact age when we speak this evening. I think he's my age.

The whole family is truly beautiful and amazing.
I admire them for being strong in what they believe in.
They really are a very inspiring bunch and given me a lot of faith by "going green and raw lifestyle" as a family in our society can be done and achieved with an awesome attitude. :)

... and, I love what they're doing to build a whole community. In our interview last night she was saying that many in the community they are building wont be raw (spouses of raw folk) yet, support those who are. It's a HUGE endeavor to create what they are creating ~ building homes from scratch, all green, etc.

We also talked about the children's journey, especially Raven's who rebelled for awhile about being "different"... we talked about Victoria and how she's teaching her children to cook and why... GREAT interview!
