    Default raw progress

    Today was my 36th birthday! I have received endless gifts from so many people here, so thank you!

    I have never posted photos but I realized today that this is the best I have EVER felt in my life and that I can't believe my skin in these pictures and I know it is all due to raw. I am kind of shy and it is the internet so these may come down soon but here goes!

    I am 36 today (black dress photos) and yes, i think this is the best i have looked since junior high school

    The first picture is from last summer (raw) but I wanted to show progress. The rock climbing shot is to show possibilities.
    with love, gj

    thanks everyone ;)

    i am going to try to find a real "before" picture to make it more fun to look at. The first pic i was already raw a good year and was feeling pretty glowy. A year before that, I was literally crying the moment i woke up in the morning and realized that I had to get up. (thyroid disease and parasites) there were days that I didn't get out of bed at all. I had to close my practice and was contemplating that I might actually be dying.

    this year i have climbed 3 mountains, meditate 2 hours a day, sit on the board of directors for 2 non-profits, my business is in the busiest it has ever been, i am in love and well, yeah you get it.

    RAW RAW RAW RAW RAW

    !!!!that 3rd picture is a pretty cheeky :-0 but so was the new dress! it cracks me up to see the cocktail dress in the setting of the cabin i live in. i added it because i thought the skin warranted a raw glow shout out!!!!

    thank you so much everyone.

    i really do want to emphasize how much I KNOW WITH ALL OF MY HEART that eating a raw diet has made me feel that everyday, every year, i am opening and progressing to new heights of beauty in life

    inside and out!!.....(the inside part is where it is at btw). I feel this fountain of joy and peace that can't be touched when i am raw.

    believe me, i have played with this diet, researched it through my own body and in 3 years it always comes home to the same place.

    what is 40 going to look like? I cant wait to find out!!

    you all are awesome and this board has been a constant source of support.

    much love, xoxo
