Give it to me Raw

So i just got laid off my raw chef job bout 6 days ago, along with about 5 other people. It wasn't a personal issue or performance issue,but they simply didn't have the money to keep me. So now what am i going to do.... I am i going to live.... i mean i'm 19 kinda taking a gap year from college, trying to figure out what i wanna do... Should i stay in Austin. There is a decent raw food scene here, which i don't really care about.... what i do care about is FRESH ORGANIC PRODUCE!!!!! the life giver....and yes i do like hangin' with my raw friends as well, but they come in a close 2nd behind getting fresh local organic produce.....for cheap :)....

So yeah it's January 24.... And i really wanna travel, was supposed to go to Bali, but didn't earn the $ in time due to not getting the hours i asked for at the cafe.... So that fell through. But maybe i'll go wooffing for a while.... hang out with organic farmers in socal, in hawaii ect....hopefully i can get my passport stuff straightened out and head to asia in the spring.....

But yeah i'm pretty broke so maybe i'll stay and work at a bike shop, of which there are many fine ones here...but know nothing about bikes really, so i think i'm gonna take a friends advice and just go there and volunteer my services... I also wanna work as a personal trainer but am not yet certified, even though i know just as much as most of em'.

But i really am in a ODD transitional phase in my life right now....trying to make $$$$ and new friends THE RIGHT FRIENDS in the big city...trying to get to know the right farmers.... feeling really inadequate, and inferior and small....

And scared for the future sometimes,,,, although optimistic, and happy, i'm really unsure of what the future holds

Cory,

Best of luck with your new adventure! I am sure if you follow your hart and stay true to your healthy raw lifestyle path all this will pass and not be a big deal, just feels like it now.

I have worked for a few bike stores for a few year in the past and totally enjoyed the whole experience, got good deals of bikes and stuff and now I can fix up my own bike. I think you will enjoy it!

What ever your new adventure takes you enjoy the ride to the fullest!

May all your new adventure and goals come true for the rest of 2009 and beyond!

Your pal, Jesse

Um committed as in yeah both 100% and locally they don't get that it's a diet based on sustainability and they haven't gotten out of the "buying a majority of their food in plastic containers" phase... which helps no one .....

They really just do it like as a hip status type thing.... going to the raw cafes...dropping $150 on one meal kinda thing....doing it just to show that they have the deepness in their pockets

A food log is a great idea! I hope that you can isolate the cause. They didn't hurt or itch or anything like that, but they didn't look right. At first I thought it was skin cancer or something! I looked up petechiae as Eric recommended in the co...

Yes- they're called petechiae and I've always heard that they are liver-related. They can also be due to anemia and low platelet count. If you also bruise easily, that might be the likely cause. I get them too and they come and go.

Pink Lady Apple, I used to get those. I know exactly what they look like - they are tiny, they can vary in size, they are circular, flat, and very red. They do look like blood blisters, but flat! I stop getting them after I did an extended water...

I really believe that is possible to heal all of the body...regeneration of tissue is not a far fetched concept. There is a case of a man who re-grew a finger, recently! I have to dig to find the article, but I read it on naturalnews.com. Mind you...
