Thanks for your comment! How was your raw potluck on October 12th? Did you have a good turnout? I hope you had a good time. I'm sorry I missed it. By all means please keep me posted on any future potlucks that you become aware of. I have never been to one but, I would love to come and try it out!
Hi Amy! Thanks so much for the compliment-
it's very nice to hear :)
I'm doing great without coffee- for me, what really worked is yerba mate tea w/cashew milk (blend cashews, vanilla, cinnamon, agave) & raw honey/agave & cinnamon- it's the closest thing to coffee that helped me to quit. Coffee was my weakness also- so I know how you feel. There is a recipe online for the nut milk- if you want I will send it to you.
I'm from Georgia and I've been raw for a couple of years now and have had my ups and downs but I always come back to raw- I love the way it makes me feel!
Looking through your bio, I see so many parallels between us. I would love to hear more about your experiences with trying to raise your little girls on a healthy diet..(raw)? Mine are too picky and so exposed to SAD, but I am trying! And you were on the West Coast at one point? (Me too-missed the East though) Where in MD are you?
The way I see it is that generally people who label themselves are confident of the path they have chosen while,also generally, people don't don't label aren't quite as sure if what they're following is the right way to go.
hi hitesh,
how are you
if yoga is practiced regularly then it's not difficult to achieve flexibility, yep i can share the knowledge with you that I got from the university, don't worry about it
oh yeah she is married :(
wow did that beautiful lady kiss u.. lol
great u won two things.
the 2nd rank and her heart?
oops shes married right?
oh well theres tons of ppl that love u specially on GITMR
can u help me with my postures when u run your raw-community?
i do yoga, but not regularly, and my flexibility isnt that great.
my breathing capacity is great, and thats the only thing good.
things that have actually worked for me:
Valerian root for tea - very calming...
Lemon juice, sliced lemon peel, lemon grass or lemon verbina, raw honey, star anise (optional), maybe some ginger, hot water (let it all infuse together for a while) ...
oh yeah there were like 3 judges who really eager to find mistakes in my asanas and other yoga practices that they asked me to perform :)
But i am lucky hahahaha
