Living is a Process

I Love being a part of this Group! It has inspired me and has motivated me to become an even better me! When I live in being a better me, I live by example thus inspiring myself as well as others around me. It is my Passion!

I admire all the wonderful souls here who are 100% because that is where I would love to stay and know that I will because it is getting easier and more natural for me to be that way. I have been on this path since 2004, staying totally into this life style for months at a time then all of a sudden finding myself not on my path and making decisions that are not quite what calls me. Not quite sure why this is because I like to say I am "aware" but then all of a sudden I find myself on the path over there and not the green path over here. At times I am not even sure how I got there.

I question it... Could it be societal pressure that I cave into because it is easier at the moment? Is it because of my up bringing on processed foods that I can not even tolerate now? All I know is that I have come a long ways in my journey of living on Live foods.... when I do eat something not living, it is hardly cooked, it is healthy and virtually no processed items pass these lips and on a rare occasion when it does, there has been a deeper meaning to it such as Mother's Day when my son wants to take me out to Mexican food.

There is something deeper than just going out to Mexican food with my son and I. Raising him single all of his life and before I was aware of the benefits of eating healthier, this was our thing to do. Every Friday after a busy week of me working we would go out to Mexican food. It is his favorite food. We had created "a special thing to do " together and for the last few years I haven't been participating in it with him because of my lifestyle change. I just got that this was very important to him to reconnect on this level that we had created many years ago. My son is busy living his own life now and for us to connect is rare so going out to Mexican especially on Mothers Day was in fact much deeper than just eating cooked yuk food. It was an act of Love from my son in honor of remembering our times within the hard times of raising him single.

So even though I ate "healthy" in terms of restaurant food, I still walked away with a runny nose, plugged up sinus' and felt lethargic for part of the day. It was worth the time spent with my son who was trying to relive a much younger time.

Next time I do have a plan... I will smuggle my organic avocado in along with my greens, ask my son to look "over there" and dump it on my salad, then eat only what I brought in... yes I could explain to my son what I am up to but it wouldn't be the same, let him not think that his mom is weirder then he already thinks I am... he calls me Psycho (in a loving way).. because of what I do for a living anyways...

Living Raw is a process for me, one that is getting easier every day.... thanks for reading!! In Love to You!!
