Hi!!! I'm a 28 years old and 100% raw super single mother raising an amazingly beautiful crystal child named Kennedy with Autism. I'm finishing up my Master's degree in Community Psych and Social Change. I am working on my doctorate in Psychology. For my PhD I am focusing on how raw food and exercise are spiritual practices. I LOVE weight training and am starting to lift pretty heavy and loving it. My yoga practice is growing in my life, and much like "raw" is taking me on incredible journeys... some up , some down, ALL wonderful. I'm living in a state of ecstatic bliss.

You know... it's actually the best camera ever. It's pretty cheap. You can find it at Radio Shack. It's made by GE. And it's so easy to use, very intuitive. It's been my favorite camera out of all the ones I've owned.
I didn't recognize you at the the chocolate party and only noticed you in the pics afterwards. Sorry we didn't get to talk!

In the first stage, the diet is restricted to veggies, protein, and just a few grains (eaten in very small portions). Fermented foods and sea veggies are very integral to this diet, so it sounds like you might really like the diet.
Nothing sweet ...
