    Well, I read in a book by Julie Wandling a suggestion to get started inexpensively to try Good Will for used appliances - juicers, dehydrator. So, I thought, why not?

    Anyway, our Good Will store had a Mr. Coffee brand dehydrator for $4.99. . .

    I figure for 5 bucks I can't loose. . .I'm trying this 30 day challenge to see if I feel Raw makes a difference. . . and if this machine bites the big one, it was only 5 bucks. And I can return it in 10 days for a full ...

    so far my challenge is going well. I am having a hard time drinking enough water, but the warm weather is helping quite a bit.

    Beginning day 3!

    I woke up this morning feeling really refreshed. I stayed up too late, but still seem to have energy. I'm going to try to drink a ton of water as my skin is feeling very dry. Will dine on mangos this morning--craving them.

    I photo copied Alissa's soaking chart to assist me in soaking my almonds, walnuts and cashews. I'm thinking about growing sprouts for my salads as the store bought ones are very expensive. Chick peas are high on the list as I will ...

    It was an emotional day. Started sunny and ended with a thunder storm. I was driving to pick up kids from school and I was singing with the radio and was so energetic I could hardly contain myself and then I started laughing. Then it became tears of joy. I realized that I had not felt the way I felt at that exact moment in ten years since knowing I was in love with my husband. I called him at work to tell him so.

    The weight of ten years of depression and upset and longing for things ...

    Last night I was craving hummus like crazy...I was craving that great pita bread that is kinda thicker & puffy at some restaurants. I had an apple instead. So I     ...
