Recognition and Appreciation
Question: Who would you like to recognize and appreciate on this forum? Who has inspired your journey? Who has motivated you to become a better person? Who has changed your health?
Let us know who this person is and how they've impacted your life for the better! This is your opportunity to say thanks.
Friendship
Often when look back on our year we recognize that the highlights almost always come in the form of insights and friendships. This post is about the latter.
True Friends, be they real world or virtual, have the ability to remind us of our higher potential, inspire us to take action and lift us up when we've fallen down.
We're use to recognizing and appreciating physical friends. It's part of the human tradition of community. But it's a little tougher to recognize and appreciate online friends. Often the very people who have inspired us have no idea they've done so. We could read their daily blogs, skim their forum topics and watch their videos without any trace of an interaction. But, even though their might not be a trace of physical interaction, we can't deny for a moment that transformation has occurred.
This discussion is about honoring that person or those people that have helped you along your journey.

Adam x and Durianrider have been immensely helpful in keeping me on track. If it weren't for them I'd probably still be drinking booze, taking creatine and lying about my health. I always look forward to reading what they have to say.
Xerxes has also been a positive influence.
I respect how Running Raw takes on the challenge of being a high-profile, competitive raw athlete. Both Running Raw and Durianrider raise the bar with their commitment to take it to the extreme.
I also appreciate the newcomers who openly share their experiences. Guys like Jeff and Kasey, who contribute often, remind me that I'm not the only one who struggles in this journey.

Philip (just Philip:) was my sole original motivation to go raw, which I haven't completely done yet, although I'm incorporating more and more raw foods into my diet. I was deeply touched by his videos on Youtube. His weight struggle was a very compelling parallel to my struggle with colitis and crohns, and I immediately decided that I wanted to follow in his footsteps. When I see all of the people he's inspired, I think this is a good path. Good in every sense of the word. What's better than inspiring others...nothing, as far as I'm concerned, especially when you feel great:)

Richard Blackman- fitness and strict diet inspiration
Anthony Anderson- re inspired me to go back on 100% raw the only kind that makes me feel truly healthy and happy .And he helped me realize that as raw foodist we can still be social, interesting, highly functional people.He's also a supernice and supportive guy... kinda like the guy i always looked up to in high school except... raw vegan:) version
Durianrider- helped find out why i was failing on the raw diet, how to succeed, and helped me go back to the original way i discovered raw...the easy simple way(most satisfying way for me i've found so far). Makes me determined to improve and be the best.
thanks to all my

It's hard to exclude anyone. Everyone here has helped me so much!
I must mention a few people that stand out though ; )
durianrider: He took the time out to guide me through a healing process when I messaged him for advice. He kept offering me tips that really kick started the process. I don't think I would have healed without his help.
Adam: Always providing sound, professional, and well thought out advice. He really takes his time to thoroughly answer questions. Your amazing bro!
The wonderful ladies like Xerxes, Mish, and Suvine. I always have fun talkin with them in some of the many threads on this site.
RawZi: Whenever I've asked a question, she has always gone off and researched something about it and helped as much as she possibly could. I really appreciate that!
Starfire: For being someone to look up to. She has been through almost everything that I am interested in. It's pretty cool, she's awesome.
Philip: He led me to this site in the first place! big thanks to him for that. His videos were the first ones I ever watched on raw food and they were quite inspiring.
This community as a whole is so positive and uplifting. I've learned so much here! Thanks Dhrumil for creating a place for us all to gather and share our thoughts. Also thanks to the people that mentioned me in this thread! made me feel great. kinda famous ; ) Alright, I ran out of stuff to say. Peace everyone!

Dhrumil - For creating this
Nature Love - For sharing his time on the podcasts. Would love to hear more from him & his journey.
Jericho Sunfire aka Richard Blackman - Breatharian Body Builder Extraordinaire.
Rawzii & RawTastic - Generally being cool
All the spiritual people who bring great consciousness here. Super Positive vibes.
I'd say more than the Raw aspect I'm finding self-seeking souls here :D.
We should be called RawSouls.com :D.

Great topic!
My admiration comes in threes, and this one is no different:
RawZi: for taking a path less traveled, running with it, and succeeding beyond belief. If perhaps, someday, I can muster even a fraction of the strength that RawZi has, I will consider myself a very fortunate being.
Erin Fraser: I have a firm belief that Erin knows everything. I am still astounded by the details her posts have with just about every topic I have always wondered about. Probably the first person with a PhD in raw food :-)
Charles: For his ceaseless dedication to seeking the truth, and his equally dedicated mission of sharing it (I'll buy you a tecchino at Quintessence the next time I'm in the city, and we'll continue our political discourse there :-)
Keep up the great discussions people!
Ian

Thanks for posting! I went to the dentist today and was absolutely delighted when I heard the dentist comment to the hygenist, "she has beautiful teeth, doesn't she?"
WOW! Coooool! Haha, all thanks to raw food!!!

Yeah! I have been getting into apples big time, and discovering new ones that I have not tried before like the Honey Crisps! I always like the Gala too great for raw recipes!
Thank you for your positive words everyone. I've been raw for 8 months and it was simply dissappointing to have gone through such a binge! Besides I felt physically awful!
Onward we march from here! lol
Next Top Model is funny. I love how its all about TYRA..I love it. Those girls are just the filler
