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

I'm still alive and plugging along. The 30 day challenge associated with this website just wasn't what I expected it to be. I guess I need more interaction and part of that may very well be my own fault since I'm so busy that I was usually the last one to post.

I guess I also expected this website to be similar to what it was years ago when I first found it. That was pretty naive on my part. LOL
Anyway it got the point where I actually dreaded coming here to post to my blog and that's never a good thing so I stopped.

I'd love to find a Raw Food community with a "live and let live" philosophy and where people don't cybermug people because they haven't reached a certain level of perfection. I just don't see where that's helpful. I learned way back when I went to Catholic first grade that guilt doesn't do a thing to advance anyone and can actually hold you back.

So my decision to leave this last post rather than just fade away is because if you are reading this and know of such a community please contact me or post a reply to this email so I can become a member.

Until then I'm doing well on my own with a little support from various Raw books. I may begin journaling again but probably won't. I may created a Raw forum in the hopes that it will evolve into something good but again probably not. It may also be that I'm just sick of the World wide web since I've become more grounded in the moment - yea that's seeming more and more real all the time.

Thanks tons to the ladies who responded to my blog posts and supported me while I was here. It's been raw. :)

Lannette, I understand where your coming from. I've felt the shift in the forum. It seemed to start about the time Rawkinlocs left.

I've been too "busy" to do a lot of blog reading and checking in, but now I realize that was my choice because of the vibes I was getting from all the new posters, and the lack of all the good people I've gotten used to seeing here.

Here is the thing, the problem will pass. The users causing the bad vibes will go away. They always do.

I keep checking in hoping things get back to where they should be, taking nice about Alissa's teachings.

Please send me an email and let me know how things are going and where you are in the ethernet. :)

Hi Lannette. This is so interesting. I think a lot of people are going through this on this site. Yesterday, while reading yet again another person saying "we should do this and not that" I wondered why this is allowed to go on.

I started reading this site in 2005, at that time Alissa posted somewhat frequently and there were many more moderators. Not to say there weren't issues, but they were taken care of much more quickly. Through the years, Alissa posted less (and I don't even know when she was 'here' last) and I think there is what, one moderator, who doesn't have a presence enough for most of us to know who it is.

I'm sure there are other issues, not to mention that things just evolve into something else. But I think there is still great support here, it's just that the 'fundies' seem to have taken over and without good moderation, go on too long. Also, without adequate moderation, some of the regulars have taken it upon themselves to 'set the record straight' and sometimes they come off too strong. This has all icked up the site.

I am so glad you are still feeling good about being raw. I am too, but don't post as much as I used to as I felt talking about food so much was triggering eating disorder issues.
