I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

Today is day 27. I'm having trouble keeping things in perspective. Yesterday was an amazing day. Had a great morning today, too. Went for a 2 hour walk, and shared a delicious, raw lunch with a dear friend I don't see enough of. I wish my day had ended right there. The rest of the day was all ups and downs, good news, bad news, shock, and anger. All from totally unrelated events, all out of my control. (Or are they?) Is it me, or is it the universe?

My ups and downs are not about what is physically happening to me or my family, we are fine. My problem seems to be nothing more than my emotional reactions to things that are going on around me. So I try to put my day in perspective and realize so many other people are having serious problems. Mine are so irrelevant. Why did I let any of it get to me?

Maybe I'm just fatigued from the 2 hour walk. (My dog has hardly gotten off her pillow since then.) Maybe it's that nasty beast, detox. Whatever the cause, I'm sure tomorrow will be better . I wish that for everyone.

I noticed that mid-way through the challenge I got rather teary and emotional about things. It may just be the release of toxins into the bloodstream as you detox. Be kind to yourself. Let it all flow. You are doing fantastic!

Another sleepless night for me, I guess, as I've been lying in bed for ages tossing and turning so here I am talking to you RawKnitster. I'd forgotten that your "string" is wool. Sorry about that. Isn't it great creating lovely things? I hope that your day went better for you today - that your mood is on more of an even keel. A 2 hour walk is so good for you - hope you see some pretty or interesting sights on your way. To be cont'd.....

Yes, the ingredients for that "coffee" are expensive but you don't have to have them all for it to taste good. I don't have the Yacon or Lucuma. I can't afford to make this on a daily basis but I thought it might help me wean myself away from coffee. Your idea of using almond milk sounds good. I will look those Carol Alt books over more carefully. Now I am going to hold my eyelids up with some toothpicks (kidding of course) and read what Alissa has to say about fruit and food combining.

Your comments on my Blog are so encouraging - sorry mine aren't anything special - am just so sleepy - why can't I sleep though?!

I just read Day 1 of your blog and was very moved by it. I'm sorry about your Mum. That must be very hard for you. Thinking about what you said in yesterday's blog made me think you are very likely now "feeling" so much more - allowing thoughts & feelings (though not necessarily always wanting) them to linger and not squashing them down with junk food. We aren't used to this - not me anyway - I've resorted to a party in my mouth to escape pain, frustration and anger for about 57 years.
