Hey! I love to watch old movies, watch funny videos on YouTube, read a good book, play board games, randomly surf the Net, walk everywhere, and shop for things I don't need. I also love wandering around bookstores and farmer's markets - so much fun! I hate winter and the cold and dream of living someplace where it's warm and sunny year-round. I'm also rather obsessed with pink, glitter, yarn, acrylic paint, and fluffy pom poms.

My first Potter book and I've started with the last one! blasphemy indeed. We do own all the books and my son is now halfway through the first. I'm really lucky that he doesn't mind reading out loud, hehe. I'm on page 525 as of tonight. I'm dying to get the end and also having remorse that it will be over. I can't imagine how I would feel having read them all! I've already gotten teary a few times and I'm not even done yet. That's very cool about Rowling - she is very inspirational.
He loves it and lives it. His wand is by the bedside and he's always ready to cast a spell. We get into quasi-philosophical discussions about it nightly. Hallows is the only one I've read, but I've now seen them all. I don't think it can be beat - and all the stories came out of 1 person's head! I honestly don't know who likes it more.
don't agree with the whole raw food creating a damp environment thing because of the wildly different effects of different raw foods. i've found candida to respond to 100% raw, several different approaches.
I like to do fasts as well and I think the power in fasting is that its a remedial action, one part of the process of purifiying. For instance if you feel you have a lot of non-virtuous residue or spiritual obstacles to remove, you generate regret...
probably detox...detox is interesting and creative. thanks for the strength of putting it all out there! it takes a lot to stick with it when the body cleanses. you can do it though i can tell you know it....8^))
you need to whack it right around the top of the coconut with either a heavy handled knife or a machete..im an expert now and crack open those babies in no time....
are you having to take off the outer green shell,or just crack open the white coc...
we are hugely blessed to have Loren here i so agree...
ahh complete rest with eyes closed....sounds wonderful...just the not eating part for that long,i guess after a while you would lose your 'hunger' anyway ??
i would say give it time...if you are feeling flu like symptoms i would say you are detoxing...40 days isnt a long time,when you consider how long you havent been 100% well..your body will heal and clean house in its own time....
