I've been a pescatarian since 1997, a strict vegetarian since 98, gave up honey last year and began my raw food journey early in 2008.
Initially i was attracted to the lifestyle/diet as a way of healing my chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome, but i've discovered so much more about myself along the way, And such wonderful food, so full of life & flavour just as nature intended =). Green smoothies rock my world!
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
Perhaps a mentoring/buddy system & lots of local & international networking jazz :).

I know this fourum is great because of the people it attracts but not so great to express my artistic me in any way lol
That's why (though it's almost dead these days) I kept my myspace page and use it as a kind of billboard to say what I have to say, well I still keep it simple though.
My weekend should be fun, it's a super sunny day so I will take the kids to the beach in a minute and then they go off with their dad till tomorrow, yay so I will be going out tonight for a change.....Hope you'll have a great one too my lovely.......Take care

Hey Kat... would be sweet to see you in Melbs some time... but for now i'm even closer to ya than ususal hanging out on the Gold Coast so do feel free to get in touch if you're down this way : 0418 417 273 or lucystegley@gmail.com

I've been the opposite. I think I was an idealist all my life, but I've grown far more cynical as I get older. It's hard to see optimism when I see people getting fatter and sicker and the world gets more and more polluted. The more I learn about world politics and globalization, the more I think this planet is doomed. But, hey, I'll do my best to reverse that trend.
You shouldn't feel ashamed to have fallen off the raw wagon. I'm sure that's happened to everyone on here at some point. In fact, it's during those moments that you should get on here, for support and to inspire you back on track. It's great to have you back on here.
As for being raw while it's cold, it honestly doesn't bother me. But if I did want something hot, I'd stick to tea. Grab yourself a cuppa!
Hey Kat, Will be in Brizvegas next weekend i think.. drop us an email if you're around and want to catch up over a smoothie ;-) lucystegley AT gmail.com
Just two, hieroglyphs down my spine and a, heh, a Dark Mark on my left forearm done in glow-in-the-dark ink. If I had the money I'd have more, but the ones I had done were wicked expensive so it'll be a while before I can. I need to get tats I can...

Na I don't DJ, but I went to a shit load of concerts. I don't think these girls are around anymore but Jack Off Jill is sick. Check them out if you're into the Goth/metal/punk mix. I'm not a fan of their sound but I like their sick lyrics.

Does it actually help? I've always been a passionate person but as of lately I've been having some really bad anger issues resurface. Mostly towards my parents, but it's starting to trickle down in other aspects of my life (work,friends & odd food...
Then we could talk about the psychiatric industry, how corrupt can anything be. The medical complex....selling pills, proclaiming someone's "normalcy". People trying to act "normal".

Wow, helping someone else, what a challenge, been doing that for years, and I always say, that's the last time, like my 400-lb friend......so hard.

LunaChicks ftw. Horrorpops are also pretty awesome, if you're in to the psychobilly stuff. The Devotchkas. I've never been into Hole or Garbage, my deal is if you're a chick playing punk rock you better be covered in tattoos - Anything else and it...
Someone very close to me expressed to me that he was diagnosed bipolar a few years ago. Now that the season is transitioning into winter, I am noticing that his moods are more erratic and the things he says are very negative and worrisome at times...
