Well... my dear Rawbies... I can now explain my silence for the past few weeks...

Since the car accident - I have been dealing with pain and all that -- but what i did not share with everyone is that the x-rays showed what looked like 3 verterbrae that possible had been 'consumed' with cancer -- bone cancer in the spine...

so - I've been tucked into my Lord - and spending time in 'healing mode' and staying postive and BELIEVING IN THE BODY'S INFINITE ABILITY TO HEAL....

aaand.... trusting that what often 'appears' to be one thing --- often is NOT...

I went to the Spine specialist (who is on Island maybe once a month - or every other month).... and his diagnosis is.... NOT CANCER!! OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!! ... I AM SOOOO HAPPY!! <---Click on that!

so - although I'm still dealing with pain from the accident - the mental stress is greatly relieved! whew!

do I feel like I've dodged a bullet? YES...

SMOKERS BEWARE.....
cigarette smoking and excessive drinking can cause Osteoperosis (sp?). Smoking and drinking were part of the reason why these 3 vertebrae (which are fused together with a metal plate and 6 screws)... to basically weaken to the point that they are becoming useless... almost hollow -- and very fragile. I have a condition which is very rare (not osteoperosis but somthing else) - and I cannot remember the name (sorry) but I kinda went blank when I heard no cancer!

because I quit smoking and quit the heavy drinking --- and started eating healthy vibrant RAW FOODS filled with live enzymes --- my body has begun to rebuild my spine... (Dr.'s diagnosis!) LIVE FOODS -- HAS GIVEN ME A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE.... AND ... the dr said that Live Foods will help to 'rebuild and fight this 'condition' that I have in these three vertebrae!!

I feel so blessed.
so - to celebrate - I started working on my website:
http://www.rawfoodshawaii.com
there's nothing there yet!! but I OFFICIALLY begin working on it TODAY! I've made an appointment with the web and computer wizard (dh's friend)... AND.... he and his gf want to learn more about raw foods and how to prepare meals.... and I need the website up and running --- so -- sounds like barter is in the makings!!

rawbies... we've all heard it before ---
We are what we eat....
and yeah - I got it --- but NOW I truly understand it.... it has become my truth... we really REALLY ARE what we eat.
EVERYTHING -- ANYTHING --- we put into our mouths becomes part of our very cells - our blood - our being ...
what will you nourish your body with?
Remember -- our bodies are organic creations... like a plant -
if we take care of a plant - nourish it with life giving water and sunshine, allow it to grow in soil that is rich in nutrients -- it will flourish - grow strong and tall, the colors will be vibrant ~ it will flower, produce fruit and smell beautiful!

but take that same plant and feed it toxic waste (empty calories from SAD foods) clog up it's cells with useless nutrients and plant it in soil that is depleted of any nutrition... that plant will grow listless, weak, it will not be able to function as it was created to do... and it will become diseased and die -- or simply wither away - and die....

if you are reading this... if you have been blessed to find this path... take heed dear friend and know...
you are being given an amazing opportunity to CHANGE your life....
to Stretch your potential become the very BEST YOU possible....

Perhaps when you stare death in the face ... or a scare like cancer in the face.... it wakes you up and you realize... I want to live... and I want to live healthy and happy .... and what I eat and what I drink truly TRULY does matter....

Mothers -- take heed -- because what you feed your children WILL matter -- not just today -- but tomorrow --
because you are providing the 'building materials' the building blocks that will DETERMINE the quality of their lives when they are my age --- 51....

rawk on rawbies.... we are so blessed to be on this path... ;)
