  1. Tough day for me today

    2 years ago today my mom passed away. I still find it so very hard, my heart still hurts, it is a feeling I don't think will ever leave me.

    Today is my husband and my 5th day raw! Whooo!

    We are dropping off my dad at the airport today. He's been visiting from Austria for a month now. He will be missed, he blends in well into our household (except for not being raw, but he's open to it).

    On our way back, we'll be able to stop at a Trader Joe's! I'm going to buy lots ...

  4. The Final Transition

    Well here's the long and short of it. My fam has agreed to transition from a MAJOR carnivore diet to a Raw Foods diet. Rather than throw everything I had in the kitchen away I decided to progress gradually. As I ran low on things I would replace them with Raw alternatives. It worked out great with one set back.

  5. I heart Learning.
