many of you have heard and or love raw foods, or have not, and either way I welcome you to embark on a journey with me. a journey that I am wanting to share. to reach out, and share strength and support with community.
i am embarking on a transformational journey. one that I have been on and off, and back and forth, and now have come to a point to try again in my life. i've learned not to be worried about being perfect about things. the things that you like and that work with you will naturally find you, constantly knock at your door, and tug at you until they get your attention.
what I am more concerned about is being present minded, and receptive to the messages from the universe when they do come knocking. even when at times I get side-tracked and need to direct and focus energy again to get started. the messages are always there, the messengers are always sent. there is always a reason for the people who come into your lives. that is why they are there.
and so today it begins: well actually it started yesterday. yesterday sarah and i decided to fast for the weekend. a time to take a break, allow our minds and emotions to calm. I had never fasted before, and every time in my past when i thought about it, I never found the strength to accomplish it. i was quite surprised yesterday when i just did not eat. i was drinking lots of water, some with lemon squeezed in, I ate a grapefruit, and a small cup of brown rice. a successful day for me. i already felt light, and buzzing. I could not believe how good you can feel! it was amazing.
i've had lots of conversations with shone about food, like I said I love it! i know at times i add emotion to my eating, but generally just love to eat. I find it very pleasurable.
i went 36 hours and then had to have a nice salad.
i felt accomplished, and now have a great start. already the coffee addiction that I had been developing again is fading, and my desire for crunchy salty snacks, my nemesis! is challenging me, however I want to be free of those needs. they don't make me feel my ultimate best, and they won't help me maintain a long healthy life as I age.
I am turning 33 on June. Even though I feel like a teenager, I want to prepare for life, and age gracefully. I always tell the girls who come in to shoot, that I want to be in pictures until the day I am no longer living. and Naked! ;) and I want to accomplish this by being the healthiest girl I can. all within the realms that fall the most natural to me.
I don't want to try, I don't want to make my lifestyle a big focus of energy, as it has always been in my past. I really want to find a system that works for me, that allows me to eat when I want, and still maintain health and super vitality.
through all of my research, and aspirations, I have found and have connected most with raw foods. i have learned the hard way that meats, dairies, and too much breads don't work well with me. they make me ill, my eyes puffy, and I don't like the way my skin looks in pictures. so now I am trying to make the break.
wether I become 100% raw food, or not, will all be determined on what happens naturally. I am giving this journey my full attention. I will give it my focus for the time that it takes to develop a habit, and to change a lifestyle. As I have read, that most people will become 100% raw because thats what their bodies naturally go to. They don't drink wine, or vodka, or anything anymore, not because they told themselves that they could not, but it's just what their body is telling them.
again, listening to the messages that the universe sends.
I enjoy raw foods sensually. eating raw foods is the sexiest, most sultriest, most decadent form of food that I have ever enjoyed. I love food! I love to eat it! I love the different textures, the crunchiness, the softness, the magical explosions of flavors and yumminess that you could possibly imagine. oh yummy yummy yummy!

Ch 1. The Principle of Life Transformation
What type of person do I have to become to experience radiant health?
my weakest commitment lies in snacks, I need to become that person that is just as dedicated to my palate as I am to shone and bohocrush. a dedication that requires no pressure to distraction. and raw foods makes it really easy!
How do I become that type of person as quickly as possible while enjoying the process?
take more time to prepare and provide good raw food nutrition, prep time, etc. need to break myself away from the computer more, to give myself more time for myself and my own health maintenance. the computer is a fun and necessary world, however, it is not the only world. and my over commitment to the website, has caused imbalances in my current healthy state of mind. one really can have too much fun! ;) and because I have so much fun on the computer, I am learning to set time away. breaks for g time!
and of course, by transforming to a raw diet, the experience provides even extra energy, healthy glowing skin eyes, and hair, and provides the most vibrational high when you are naked and in front of the camera. not that any time is not fabulous, I really enjoy it always, regardless of my weight fluctuations, however, when more committed to a raw food diet, the fruits and vegetables cause your skin to super glow, to radiate, and it just screams to be in pictures! it is sensational! about a year ago I felt this. it was such a rush. and it slipped right out of my hands, but that is okay, there is never a reason to not keep trying.
I welcome you to share any thoughts, questions, or thoughts. join me, let's share this adventure, and have lots of fun with it!
