My name is Bethany and I am an artist, raw foodist and massage therapy student.
I came to raw foods because I was very sick. I was paralyzed from the waist down (for over three years) and in horrible health. Through the route of a 100% raw food diet, yoga, juice fasting and holistic medicine, I have regained full health and mobility.
I have recently become an avid barefoot enthusiast, as the grass feels amazing on my feet
I'm having a documentary filmed of my recovery with raw foods. It should be out sometime next Spring. You can view the trailer at www.bethanysstory.com or at the bottom of my page.

Your photos are terrific! With where you've come from to where you are, so cool! I hope it gives you a real sense that you can do absolutely anything! You rock! :)
Wow, LOL! That is always the way it seems to go for me too, multiple things at once! We just recently finished moving ourselves and I've been helping a friend get ready to move for the last 2 months.
Well hang in there, the tests and moving will pass! :) Hopefully the busy-ness has also had moments of fun for you!
I'm great, loving life in general and constantly being pleasantly surprised by people these days. It's wonderful! :)

Bethany, I just listened to the interview you did with Rhio, again- for the third time. Wow!! Your story is so powerful and inspiring, it brings tears to my eyes. I am so happy for you. Looked at your photos above. The last two pics really show the "glow" in you now. You're definitely a raw goddess. Can't wait to see your movie.
Aww. I just read your comment on my blog. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it and will definitely use your advice.
I understand completely about how your sister reacted about decorating. I get that as well, from all kinds of people. I've no idea why it bothers me though. I think maybe, I feel they are condescending? I am dealing with it though.
