Surrendering the Unsavory Elements

In addition to giving up all cooked foods and choosing to thrive on healthy, raw, live foods, I've been thinking a lot about all the other things I am lovingly choosing to surrender as a natural part of this path. After just a few weeks eating mainly raw foods, I am noticing that many things in my life are/were in contradiction to me living a raw foods lifestyle. Basically, there are/were elements that do not support what I am doing. And those things, like cooked foods, must go. As they com

Space

As I close out my first week 100% raw, I've found myself irritable and plagued by emotional upheaval. The slightest aggravation spins me into an agitated state; I lack patience. Of course, when I was a coffee-swilling worker bee driven by lists of things to do, I lacked patience. But this is different because I feel my impatience deeply and personally now. It's almost painful. And other emotions - vulnerability, emotional fragility, and just feeling raw, like an open wound - have hovered ov

Performance Enhancing Drugs

Okay, so we’re talking about one performing enhancing drug – legal, inexpensive, and easily accessible: coffee. For the last three days, I’ve been off caffeine. It took me a little more than a week to get here, but here I am! Perhaps an exclamation point isn’t the appropriate punctuation for how I feel, though. For the last fifteen years I’ve downed at least two cups of coffee per day. But there were periods when I was

We're meeting on the corner of 72nd and Central Park West. The tour begins sharply at 11:45. Our tour guide, Steve Brill, doesn't like lateness, so please try to be punctual. He asks for a donation of $15 per person.

Seems like we should have a good number of people going. Be sure to bring a couple of plastic bags (or whatever bag you'd like to use) for collecting your greens. We'll be foraging for spicy mustard greens, violet leaves, mushrooms, lamb's quarters, and burdock root, and I'm sure there are plenty of other things I'm leaving out.

I look forward to seeing you. Should be a good time.

I'm trying to get a group of people from on here to go on a foraging tour in Central Park on Sunday, May 11 with Wildman Steve Brill. It's from 11:45 to 3:45. A few people have already said yes. Let me know if you're interested. It'd be a great way to spend a Sunday and meet some new people.
