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!
Jinjee started eating a raw diet 16 years ago. Her before and afters show her weight loss transformation. Her and Storm's family is 100% raw-vegan and thriving! On their site they share their photos and stories, photos of the kids growing up raw, and videos of raw vegan cuisine being prepared. They offer 15 raw food ebooks with simple, nutritious recipes and raw lifestyle tips, and a DVD visit with their family and their raw food diet! You'll find lots more there, so you might like to bookmark or tag them and come back again. You can also join over 18,000 others who have signed up for their free Daily Raw Inspiration email!

Thanks Rev! I too, enjoyed your first interview with her. I really enjoy and admire Jinjee and the family. I get Daily Raw Inspirations...this was today's:
I looked up "How to Find Your Bliss" online, and found this on WikiHow.....It doesn't really help with my question, which was about finding our calling, as this is more about how to be happy, - but I quite liked it anyway....Happiness is Health after all! -- But, beyond all this good stuff below, I realized yesterday that being around people who are in love with life and focused on God is the best thing for my "happiness health!"
"How To Find Your Bliss".....
1. Be grateful for being alive. A lot of people are too busy grumbling about things to be happy for life. Life is precious and daily recognition of your luck in being here is a must.
2. Count your friends. Whether you have two or twenty, every friend is precious. Let them know how much they mean to you - with compliments and kind words. They are an important part of your bliss, just as you are a part of theirs.
3. Read biographies. When great people who have impressed you have written about their lives, or someone else has written about them, you will get lots of tips and information on how to live life right.
4. Seek bliss deliberately. Don't let life's knocks squash you. Things are not always going to work the way you want to. Deal with that and don't lose your calm. Seek the silver lining and remember that you are wonderful and deserve your bliss.
5. Be a kind and fascinating person. When you are kind and listen well, others will gravitate to you. Practice kind thoughts everyday. If you feel anger, irritation or frustration, it is time to seek ways to deal with these feelings. Let the calm of life blow through you.
6. Be blissful. When you are happy, you are attractive, fun and enjoyable to be with. You are content with your lot and you are stable in your life's choices.
Thanks for sharing "Bliss", Shine. Hmmm. I USE to get her daily inspirations. Gotta check some folders. Might be in there.
OOooo, a second Jinjee interview I haven't come across??! I swear, coming across some interviews as I explore Rawkin' Radio. is like finding little presents!!
The whole family is truly beautiful and amazing.
I admire them for being strong in what they believe in.
They really are a very inspiring bunch and given me a lot of faith by "going green and raw lifestyle" as a family in our society can be done and achieved with an awesome attitude. :)
... and, I love what they're doing to build a whole community. In our interview last night she was saying that many in the community they are building wont be raw (spouses of raw folk) yet, support those who are. It's a HUGE endeavor to create what they are creating ~ building homes from scratch, all green, etc.
We also talked about the children's journey, especially Raven's who rebelled for awhile about being "different"... we talked about Victoria and how she's teaching her children to cook and why... GREAT interview!
