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.

Dhru...this is a BEAUTIFUL thread.
I haven't yet ceased to be amazed at the effort and Love you invest into this community you have created. And it shows...and I know I am one of MANY who appreciate and recognize you.
I have joined several other raw boards in the past, and I have to say that this is the only one that feels like a living, breathing, Loving community.
The people I have recently friended since joining have ALL been kind, helpful, compassionate, positive, and absolutely LOVELY. So I want to send out a big passionate kiss (no tongue...ok, maybe a little tongue) to ALL of you for warming my heart and making me smile. THANK YOU.
(All this talk of Love and thanks has me tingly all over and really in the holiday spirit now. )

Hey everybody!
I thank all of you for being out there walking this planet with me, goofing off in here, challenging my awareness, waking me up, broadening my spectrum, expanding my thoughts, raising my consciousness, challenging my ego, double-checking my judgments and allowing me to practice detached compassion. I am so happy to be a hermit sometimes and thankful that you are here to allow me to interact with wise and fun friends even at home in my jammies. I could not go to Raw Spirit Fest yet but look forward to the day that I can meet any of you as we are all one and here with paths that wind along the same direction. A GI2MR FEST! What space would be big enough for our love?
*Suvine your personality and attitude are great reminder to me all the time when you come into a discussion with objective reality check and your forthright opinions, and jokes! I follow your comments.
*Starfire your obvious passion and knowledge and open-mindedness has given me a clue where I did not have one plenty of times. I follow your comments.
*Levke it is a pleasure to relate to you in the way that we do.
*Rebecca you are a breath of fresh air and I have been reminded of a better way to be in every message we have shared.
*Dhrumil you are doing a wonderful job at organizing this group energy into a grounding and uplifting experience at once, how could I be a social hermit these nights without you?
*Charles, you rock, say just the right thing at the right time, bring us back to earth, we DO live here after all!
*Gil has the attitude I aspire to and many laughs to love.
*Raini, you are so young and soooo with it man!
*Spacelime I thank you for your inspiring honesty and will to always do better.
How many people could I go on and on about, there are so many in here!

Durian Rider,
I just looked you up yesterday. You really explained what 811 is all about. Your hardcore energy for life and blunt way of communicating how people are polluting themselves really pulled me into taking raw to the next level. I have mono meals now and suddenly start rhyming. My sig on the message board I moderate outside here is from you. "When we dont spend our coin on slop, we will always have enough to eat from the organic shop."
Suvine,
You are what I try to convince people all the time -that raw and stylish/sexy are possible together. It's not just some hippie thing.

Thank you, Suvine. Today at Beverly Center, I reached in my Tory Burch bag and grabbed a banana while everyone else lined up for Cinnabon. I thought, "suckers!!!" and munched on my mono-snack.

RawZi always had a kind word for me and something helpful to say about my current state of whatever. I'm going to miss her.

I would like to thank Charles for helping me break the ice, plus that man can BS with a straight face..I love it. Thank you Charles for your wonderful one liners and random ways that always make me laugh and also for your encouragement.
Marte for her relaxed, free spirit. We need to see you in the US more.
Clement for being one of the coolest guys across the pond and he's intelligent...even better
Gil!
Rawzi for her openness
Starfire for her uncensored and "willing to try" ways. I can't wait to meet you at RSF next year.
Without Pete and the lovely raw humor group I would have taken myself way too serious and subsequently drove off the road and into a ditch a billion times over. If it wasn't for Pete would we be able to laugh about crap (literally sometimes)?!?
Joel..haven't seen ya around much but i appreciate you none the less.
I'd like to comment on Rachel Rose. She has such a welcoming and genuine personality. She is a keeper!
David and katrina Rainoschek are inspiring to me.
Little girl big voice.... your the shit!

Oh my word. was it a specific denomination? I am a Christian but I never experienced anything quite like that. How did it make you feel about God?

Yes, your liver can regenerate and adapt. I juice feasted for 3 months to clear some health ailments that I had my entire life. Anyway, in the recommended regimen they recommend taking some fat every day like 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, and 1 tab...

Ugly Betty is so funny and goofy! lol I love it, it's entertaining! For a Halloween party I would love to dress up all my friends as the cast.
Unfortunately, my dogs were microchipped before I got them. I haven't decided what to do about it yet. Really don't want them to have surgery to take them out.
