Profile Information
About Me:
Hola! I am in the midst of transitioning from a cooked vegan diet to a raw one -I'd say I am about 85% raw if I had to guess. I lived in Costa Rica and moved back stateside in June. I am from Miami and am a spiritual, happy open-minded guy. While I am rather clean-cut in appearance, never judge a book by its cover. Something tells me life would be even happier and easier if I was involved with people (friends or romantic) who ate pretty much the same way; thus I am requesting the same from the universe. And also requesting someone come my way that inspires me in a new business - I am open to relocate anywhere...as long as it gets some sunshine!

Hey, I am headed to Sarasota this coming week for the national ultimate frisbee competition, and was wondering if you knew of any raw spots in that area. I will prob just go for lots of fresh fruit, but was curious if there were any established restaurants or anything. Let me know if you know of any please! Thanks

CANCER: c/o Rob Breszny
Soup is your metaphor for the week, Cancerian. Symbolically speaking, it's the key to your personal power and a model for the approach you should take in everything you do. On the most basic level, you might want to eat some soup every day. That will make potent suggestions to your subconscious mind about how to mix lots of ingredients together so that their value and beauty as a totality are more than the sum of their parts. Not just in the kitchen, but in every area of your life, blend many little miscellaneous things into one big interesting thing.
Hey G, Looks like you've really been around and blessings on your fabulous raw journey. I see you've been in Costa Rica, I live there now, so if you ever want to return, please look me up. emrivkin at gmail.com
Hi! So sorry I missed your mail... Unfortunately, I didn't make Vanessa's event. I've yet to make it to one of her parties, which is absolutely ridiculous, given how much I love her bars and chocolate in general. Did you go? Are you here in NY?
I too am doing the same thing with my food eating vegetarian and starting with more raw, Would like to make more friends that are doing the same. I am living in Naples and coming over to Aventura to stay and going out in Miami with friends that live in South Beach on the weekends. This weekend I am staying home for I just got back from there and just feel I need to take it slow so the following weekend would love to meet you and make a healthy new friend.

Hi G Love,
So great to meet people of non-violence and pursuing peace and sharing and love in live. This community of "Raw" people is ah-ma-zing!
Love your philosophy of treating animals the way they deserve it! I adore the animal world with compassion that makes me cry. And Gandhi is all about non-violence to thy self first and foremost.
The best in your pursuing of your dream. Follow your passions.
Thank you for sharing.

So, I ate some (too unripe) pineapple and it "ate" some of me. Sore lips, chapped mouth corners, slightly sensitive/swollen tongue. Anyone know of good remedies for these conditions? Was thinking I should avoid stretching and licking my lips, and ...

P.S. I have a hard time sleeping without some nightcap food too. I was addicted to bananas and almond butter before bed, but I'm trying to phase it out by freezing bananas in the morning and then making raw ice cream at night.
Banana peach coconut smoothie for breakfast, then
3 Collard wraps with spicy mango salsa, avocado, onion, cilantro, sprouts, and sauteed portabello mushroom. Amazing.
Now I'm contemplating dinner. Might treat myself to Que Seraw Seraw in Burlinga...
P.S. Yogi, When my body is in an unwanted condition like ill or overwhelmed I also ask it "What do you need to get well or fix that condition?" Watch closely for it's FIRST THOUGHT and don't invalidate it. Then do whatever you please of course-you...
hi stacey,
I was doing Hatha Yoga, that involves asanas, prayanama, bandha and mudras.
Apart from yoga we were taught Anatomy, Psychology, Philosophy etc., so that the students of this course could teach yoga and take it as a profession later.
I had a green juice (Celery, Cilantro, Parsley, Apple, Ginger, Fennel, Chard)
And a massive salad with wild caught sardine.
Coconut leek cilantro and lime soup
Might have a coconut kefir smoothie in a hour or two
