These are such beautiful posts. I'm a spiritual vagabond, raised sort of Catholic with other influences, primarily a grandmother who was in Unity so I do a lot with New Thought to this day and actually belong to a Unity church. My degree is in com...
I'm trying out Nvey Eco. Love the ingredients -- purest color cosmetics ever -- but am experiencing mixed results. The concealer is fabulous -- one of the best I've tried, as good as Chanel. The translucent powder isn't translucent, though: it's d...
My first yoga teacher said of her vegetarianism: "I never gave up meat: it gave me up." That's how it is for me with raw, at least right now. I feel so amazing being very high raw -- not just physically healthy, but so happy, too -- I feel so grateful to know about this. I'm an author and speaker in the spirituality and well-being field, with books out including Living a Charmed Life and The Love-Powered Diet. I'm married to a lacto-vegetarian who's eating the raw food I prepare and liking most of it. I have one grown-up daughter, a lifelong vegan, actress, and stunt performer.
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
I'd love to meet real people in NYC. My biggest challenge on raw has been being cold and turning to hot soup, hot tea, anything that warms me up.

I'm not fluent but it's one of my favourite languages to study. I'd love to end up there, it's so wide open and beautiful, seems like a great place to raise kids too - I only wish I could find a career I could be successful there with :P
Thank You Victoria!! I am doing well up here in Sioux Falls. How about you? It's funny just tonight someone called me Victoria. So how do you like being raw?
Hi Beautiful! How are you? It's been ages...I think since the full-day seminar I did in New Joisey... Nice to "see" you again. I had just noticed your photo and was about to send you a request when I saw yours... I'm sure you're still motivating tons of people...working on a new book? Life is very sweet here in paradise. Come on down sometime!
EXACTLY. thank you SO MUCH for that encouragement. it is very strange, to have entrusted my sanity to other people (since I had no idea what was real and what was bullcrap my head made up to keep me sick) and yet I also feel that I need to be able to trust myself and have that be okay. I want to trust that I can be sane around food. I want to trust that moderation is okay, that food is not my safety blanket when life feels big and scary. I want to feel safe in my ability to choose to eat raw foods, and have that be okay in the moment and not judged to be "just another eating disorder" because people don't trust me anymore. I just want to LIVE fully again. :) Kisses and love to you and your kind words. -Bri
Victoria, Hollis will be transferring soon, to another hospital in Nashville, so her mother can go home and back to work. I will let you know the info as soon as I am given it. Thank you very much. Your love and gratitude will be felt until then.
HI Victoria! Thanks for the comment on the Raw bliss fest. Yes, you would be proud of KC. We have a lot or raw foodists per capita i believe. It's wonderful having some of the extremely knowledgeable people here too! I'm doing PR work for the Fest too.
Great to meet you,
Mia
Hi Victoria....good to meet you! The momentum is building in Kansas City and we're getting ready for the 2nd Annual Raw Bliss Fest, July 25th. Maybe you can make it back for that? Check it out here: http://rawblissfest.eventbrite.com/
