i value love, humor, justice, the earth, food. i believe in the interconnectedness of all things. i believe in infiniteness and consciousness and the universe. everyday i try to open my heart as much as possible.
i'm currently on a visit to DC although i reside in bali. while i'm here i visit the botanical gardens at least once a week, usually two or three times. the orchid room leaves me in awe every time.

hello again:). so you arrive very shortly, are you excited? it's getting chilly here so make sure you pack some sunshine for when the darkness needs relieving:). we keep it light though, hehe.
be in touch sometime, I'm up in Camden and it'd be awesome to hang out and talk raw;)

Hi Leah,
Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm like the lowest tech person on the planet, and am not sure how this site works very well... trust I can't lose you on here ; ) What did you do in Ethiopia? What part of the country were you in? I'm surprised to find another raw foodist who was there!!
I'm so happy with the cheap and prolific fruits and veggies availabe there (right at the moment I'm on vacation/leave in the US for 2 months) but there are like ZERO raw nuts or any specialty products, and it's hard carrying all that stuff from the US. If you have any specific advice for me, what you would do if you were there long term, I'd love to hear it. I've lived there for 8 years, doing linguistic research, mostly in the east of the country.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Have a great one.

That's hilareous. My husband looks at the sun to make himself sneeze. There's some weird phenomena that 10% of the population has that looking at the sun makes them sneeze.
being connected nope not a coincidence...raw opens up our chakras and there you have it,wham it hits you in the face sometimes Chris,its intense but intensely exciting...
yup i love hearing everyone different ways and experiences its wonderful to...
Hi Loren. Dillon is 6 years old, very skinny and eats like a horse, I have noted in the past that when he has had a virus and been suffering from fever and lack of appetite that his autism is less severe.
celery is hugely important in my diet,as i dont add salt to anything..when i do have the occasional piece of sunbread or raw chocolate which contains salt,i reallllly feel it quite negatively....
great advice Loren :)
Great points RG you're right, one size dosent fit all. For me it was purely a health thing to start, but then as you so well described it, the layers started peeling back. It really took me by surprise, was very unexpected, which is why I now just...
