Rawlight's Rawlife

...if anyone's wondering!

I am doing pretty well food wise, but we've had some major family trauma and I've spent some time at my folks and with my sister. A good, old friend of hers died suddenly and wasn't found for a week. She took one of the dogs home, who promptly died a few days later. A lot to bear.

Anyway, I am home now.

I am still doing the challenge. At the end, I'll just call some of my food choices 'oops'. But I ain't givin' up the month this ...

It's something I haven't wanted to admit to myself, because, well, I am down to one cup and "geez, can't I just have ONE?" So, if I stay off coffee during these 30 ...

I am really happy I am doing the challenge. I might as well get all my changes going on in one month-lol This month is going to show me so much about myself, my work and where I and it are all going. There is a spiritual cleanse going on here as well. Eating lighter is going to help in so many ways.

Since I am off work this week, I decided to create a retreat at home to enhance all these changes. There are two books I am going to read (The Four Agreements and Dancing the Dream, choosing ...

I have been putting off a true commitment to raw because...well, frankly, I am scared to death of giving up the few comfort foods I have left. I still drink coffee (one cup in the morning) and various cooked items now and then (vegan or vegetarian, but I won't name 'em ) ...
