  1. Getting Started

    Wow, this last few days have been such a learning experience, and so exciting! Today I am on day 4, and I feel very sick. My husband is also sick, so I don't know if I have a cold or if I'm detoxing, or both. It's hard not taking medicine, but I know there's a purpose.
    Last night I woke up in the middle of the night and just HAD to have some citric acid. I felt sooo sick. I didn't have any oranges (which I was craving), so I sucked the juice right out of a lemon. It was so amazing! I instantly ...

  2. Day 8 - Easter Sunday

    Today I have really noticed a heightened sense of smell - it seems to get stronger every day. That is really the only thing I've noticed - although the few times I've eaten non-vegan cooked food (had a bite of egg salad last night and a latte w/ cow's milk on Friday) I notice that I get a sense of almost nauseating fullness instantly.

  4. Day 7 - part 2... The Miracle!

    Ok, I know I already blogged today but I have to write this down because I can hardly believe it... My little sister, the queen of McDonalds, my very first baby and one of my best friends in the world (yes, this is all the same person) told me this morning that she has decided to GIVE UP EATING MEAT!!! You don't understand how big this is... She normally eats fast food 6-10 times a week and doesn't eat healthy b/c she says it's too expensive (which it is!). But, anyway, she said that she's not ...

  5. space expedition

    i dont work weekends anymore and everyone was busy, so i spent most of the day meditating. i broke my fast at about noon. decided i didnt feel the need or drive to go through with a 4 day master cleanse.. maybe im just flakey.

    it's all gonna sound like some hippie dippie nonsense because i dropped 2 tabs of free acid, but this is what i was thinking about on my trip...
