My life is so NOT normal -- and boy is it fun! I love to LOL, am 58 going on 30, permanently optimistic & energetic. Nobody believes my age until I quote the Beatles. My passions are , make love spontaneously, challenge myself spiritually, emotionally, mentally, taking adventurous new experiences. Sometimes I am in deep thought, other times I'm footloose & fancy free. My compassion is for all life, so I've been vegetarian since 1972. I work in eco-green business to create win-win-win companies that produce products that heal people, plants and planet. I believe entrepreneurs with engaged hearts will heal the planet (ala Natural Capitalism from Paul Hawken & Amory Lovins). I'm driven and am a force of healing for the world(Tikkun Olam).

Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
home grown mixed greens & sprouts with sprouted sesame seed lemon raspberry dressing, sprinkled with walnuts, avo, dried Spanish olives & LOVE
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
I'm building a digital platform in the business of wellness education for consumers. I produce & webcast interviews with established experts on green products; bringing consumers the latest information so they can shop smart with confidence on green products. This online marketing channel has global reach to millions of the 100 million green consumers worldwide. In my lifetime, I hope to shift the world paradigms toward sustainable, holistic & natural modalities instead of the death-march we'reon now toward GMO foods laden with chemical compasunds foreign to ur body's systems.
I really see my path as reaching out to other baby boomers in mainstream with "walk my talk" & "show me"as my connection points. I live the lifestyle & look like comrades 10 years younger than my actual age.
Favorite Books or Authors:

How important is salt to the human diet? I never really added much salt to my meals (mainly pepper) before going raw but until recently I would of added himalayan salt to every raw salad over the past 9 months. I have been off it for around 2-3 we...
The smoke points are important for those people who are cooking with oils, but not those that are 100% raw foodists. Because I get many questions from those that are transtioning, I feel that it's important to answer some ot those questions also. ...
