About Me:: I went raw on 9/10/07 after a woman spoke to the fibromyalgia support group I started and told us that raw foods started to cure her in a week. Five days later, I felt better than I had since before I got sick (in 2001) and I haven't looked back since!

Update- I just started my raw foods coaching adventure, so if you want any help in transitioning to a more raw diet, check out my websites: www.rawbreakthrough.com and www.noblelifeelements.com/chicago.

What type of friends are you looking to make here?: Any and all:)

Relationship Status:: Single

Favorite Raw Food or Dish:: My homemade cashew ice cream and chocolate sauce- it's heavenly:)

Interests (outside of Raw Food):: Design, fashion, dance, helping others...

Favorite Books:: Eat Pray Love, Siddhartha, A New Earth

Favorite Quote:: Life is not about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself.

I was on a conference call with David Wolfe and Kevin Gianni the other night and there is a brand new 100% raw organic superfoods network marketing company!!! The company is called Elements for Life and I really think this could be an awesome way of spreading the word about raw food across the planet. I know network marketing is usually cheesy, but this company is doing it right. Pure, beautiful products like cacao, goji berries, marine phytoplankton, Sacred Chocolate, cordecyps, and colloidal… Continue

My Before and After Pics

So in the interest of being totally transparent, here are my lovely before and after pics! Here is me in college, hating my body as compared to my skinny sorority sister, Lisa:)

God Bless Humana!

Of course, I'm being facetious with that title, but there is actually a kernel of truth there. I just opened my monthly insurance statement and read the most beautiful sentence ever..."You have zero medical claims and zero prescription claims for this quarter." Less than a year ago, if I had received such a statement, I shudder to think how many claims would have been included. Due to ulcerative colitis, fibromyalgia, sinusitis, allergies, etc., I was on about 25 pills a day, plus a wicked liqui… Continue

Great Times at the YJA Convention

This weekend I was fortunate enough to attend the Young Jains of America Convention in Chicago. My man Dhru invited me to speak to some of the attendees about my healing journey with raw foods. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Jains (as I was not before attending the conference), Jainism is a religion of Indian origin that has as one of its main tenets the idea of ahisma, or non-violence towards all living things. Therefore, pretty much everyone there was a vegetarian (in other word… Continue

Discovering the Real Me: From Fibromyalgia to My True Self and Beyond

This is also posted as part of Women's Week on We Like It Raw:

Last summer was the absolute low point in my life. I had just separated from my husband, the only man I have ever loved, after telling him that I could not be a mother because of my fibromyalgia. For those of you who haven’t heard of fibromyalgia, it is a chronic pain disease whi…

Thanks for the call, will definitely be thinking on it!
Good luck with all your adventures in Chicago!!!

Will let it sink for a couple of days.

Thanks!

At 4:51pm on July 29th, 2008, Frank said…: Thank you too. Actually, what spoke to me most was your quote. It really helped me make a decision on the direction I need to take.

Thank you again.

At 4:16pm on July 29th, 2008, Charles said…: Amen, sister.

At 4:12pm on July 29th, 2008, Charles said…: I've been laying very low this summer, just hanging out here and there. I've got some ideas in my head as to how to break out from my job, so hopefully, things can work out for me and I can join y'all on these raw tours soon enough.

At 5:01am on July 29th, 2008, Frank said…: Thanks for the add. I Love your quote.

p.s.
Thanks for serving the world

I thought 'New Earth' was mind blowing

At 9:24am on July 27th, 2008, Si Dawson said…: oh! I forgot to mention. Arete I got from here: Think Arete - awesome site, with a really good daily email too (and their rss feed is usually pretty interesting too).

So, not my idea, but definitely a beautiful one, I do agree.

At 6:39am on July 27th, 2008, Si Dawson said…: heh, I was in NYC in May.. so yep, have been over a few times. Haven't seen much of what really is an incredible country though. Not yet, at least.

So what appeals to you about Australia? I was born but spent very little time living here, but other than incredible skies, am struggling to see the appeal (ok, the animals are pretty funny. I'll give it that).

Maybe I just need to open my eyes more :)

At 9:51pm on July 26th, 2008, Food Follows Function said…: Yeah,
I get 2nd hand too, but find even that a bit much. This is so not environmental, but I like the idea of the world just ignoring the old stuff and only designing from the eco materials. Just piling up all the polyester somewhere till we figure out what to do with it. lol. Impossible notion, but if one day I can just make my own clothes, then thats cool.
They are in mid primary and high school. I'm in Australia
