About Me:: Raw food has done so much for me and I didn't even expect anything going in.
I found this site in January of 2008. I had heard slightly of raw food. Twice up till that point. Once in someone's blog saying they met some crazy raw vegan who wouldn't even eat tofu. And another time I'd eaten raw pizza at an Earth Dance festival.
So I'd decided to join this forum to see what kind of crazy people joined in on this weird fad.
I started making green juice once a day just to see what everyone was raving about. Maybe my memory and skin would improve, too!
Two months later at MAX, my chronic back pain was gone. Mind you just two months prior I was having to take handfuls of narcotics along with a glass or two of wine just to be able to pass out eventually on my heating pad. I had an appointment for an MRI from a pain specialist. I had already undergone 5 sessions of physical therapy over the 2 straight years I was in pain. I don't even remember all of the drugs I was prescribed. I had lost two jobs over the pain. Needless to say, I stood up the pain specialist on our MRI date. I've nearly forgotten what it's like to drive around in a weird position because it's the only position that I won't cry in. I threw my pain killers away once I realized this was for good. Who am I kidding? This is for GREAT! This is for amazing!

Not to sound conceited in any way.. but I am pretty excited about this. I guess the offer for modeling got me thinking about the way I look. I just measured myself because I was curious. I haven't been measured since I was going to Curves when I was ridiculously large.

Me, a model?

So Friday after a Jungle party in Upland, I was stopped by this guy who approached me and asked if I'd ever thought about modeling. I scoffed, thinking it was just a cheesy line. He ended up proving that he is the CEO of a company that works with Maxim and a few other companies I'm assuming are similar in nature. We spent the next hour discussing why I wouldn't do it. Now, after turning him down and not hearing from him since giving him my number, I'm thinking that I should have pursued it. It w… Continue

Suspended from work

They gave me three days to contemplate whether I want this job or not. I have to let them know wednesday. I was going to meditate over these three days, but then I remembered that I have no clue how to meditate. I usually fall asleep sitting up, or my brain never shuts off and i get frustrated and stop. Quitting really wouldn't be a great idea, as my mom would continue to tell me how stupid a decision it was if I did it. I could put enough trust in the Universe to bring me my path, but my famil… Continue

www.rawfood.meetup.com/527

I know it's a distance to go but you never know. As far as the LA group, did you meet Diana? She'd be a good one to find things out from in LA.
Hope you had a great weekend. Let me know how things are going for you :)
