I am planning a trip to the Philippines (it won't be until Winter 2010, because that is when we're having a family reunion out there). There is a resort there that I've heard about & was wondering if anyone in the GI2MR community has been there ye...
I've been Vegan since 2007. I have been going more raw by the day & I feel great! I also have Lupus, and I've noticed that when I do incorporate more raw foods into my life, it's improved my health and has made me more in-tune with my body & the world around me.
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
Inspiration, and enjoying the chance to learn about people from all over the world in a positive supportive forum.

Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
Mangoes from the Philippines. I also have really appreciated anything & everything that Raw Chef Adam Lewis makes (at Nature's Pantry in Bellevue, WA). Everything is amazing & so flavorful. He makes it so easy to stay as raw as possible.
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
Reading EVERYTHING, traveling, art, movies, meditating, yoga, dancing, continuously learning, gardening, sustainable living, permaculture, skiing, hiking, camping, hanging w/daniel, my pets, family & friends, scootering, relaxing, enjoying life.

I totally understand your shy disposition. Although I am not, many of my close friends are. Opposites attract I suppose. I would be game to go to any of those places mentioned. I have not been to Thrive or Nature's Pantry, so those are my top picks. My current group of friends are not raw, but they are fabulous. :-) I am expanding my cirlcle to include living foods buddies to be able to do fun things together and support one another on the path.
Hi M, nice to meet another local in seattle. I am coming back on Feb. 13th and would love to get to gether for a meal or go to a meetup event together. The more the merrier right!?!
Thanks! I really hope to use this more. I've already gotten a LOT of feedback. Didn't realize it was ALL raw people though (not just raw vegan). Might make it hard...
I love your pic on your blog. That is so cute! I live in Tacoma/Federal Way area--so I shop at Marlene's a lot, but I was wondering if you could give me some info of any place in Seattle I could buy organic fruits?
Thanks!
namaste means "the divine in me recognizes and greets the divine in you" which is very similar to the meaning of aloha which is "to love is to share the happiness of the breath of life with." similar as breath of life is considered divine in most cultures.
now maybe you and sarma can feel a bit more comfortable when you are greeted with such a lovely greeting :)
if you care, do share your favorite greeting with me...maybe from your ancestral origins as i enjoy the many ways in which we humans greet one another :)

This year has been the worst mango season I've ever seen :( Honey mangos were sad with light colored flesh that held little flavor...Kent mangos...don't even make me go there.
Last year was an AMAZING mango yea...
This was the one in the Santa Ynez Valley, which is near Santa Barbara. I did have a wonderful time! Met so many amazing people! I didn't volunteer though. I actually took a plane from Toronto by myself, but synchronistically met a lot of amazing ...

LOL- yes, I meant blood vessels. I must've been typing in a hurry;) The spleen (in Chinese medicine) holds things in their place, like blood in the vessels, and organs (keeps them from prolapsing). I wonder if you had a spleen issue back when the ...

Hi Annette, I did make it to Manna. I had a lovely lunch, juice of the day, a big main course and then ice cream, all for about £20. Very good value! I will have to go and have another day in Brighton soon, as I was unwell that day, so my memory i...
