Profile Information
- About Me:
- I was your typical meat-and-potatoes-country-girl from a small town out west. When I moved to NJ, I began an amazing journey that started in the vegetarian world, then vegan and natural progression and growth has brought me to the world of raw.
Many of my friends don't understand this change in me, and some have jokingly threatened to have me committed (haha). To this, I offer up my green-mustache-grin and say oh well! Erin Brockovich was recently quoted saying "Frankly, I think it takes a little bit of being crazy to make a difference in this world."
I've learned to not be too "preachy," and instead wait for people to ask questions. If they inquire, rather than being TOLD, it seems to be accepted more readily.
- Relationship Status:
- Single
- Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
- Green Smoothies are both easy for on-the-go and delicious, and really one of my favorites. Just about anything with avocado in it, especially if it's been soaked in lime juice... mmmmm.
- Interests (outside of Raw Food):
- I recently joined a team of health professionals in varying fields of wellness, and can't even begin to express my gratitude for this opportunity! As a hypnotherapist, I am able to do what I love and help people realize their full potential at the same time. Don't get much better than that! Every time I look at my website, or go in to my beautiful office, it's almost like looking at a resume, or a workplace of someone else, and I just can't believe that I was able to make all of this happen..
My 14 year old son means so much to me. And yet, I'm beginning to understand, with the help of some really great "teachers," the importance of loving myself.
- Favorite Books or Authors:
- The Poisonwood Bible (this book tells a story from the viewpoint of 4 or 5 people and gives us the opportunity to see how others may view the same situation in a completely different way), The Secret (the book and the dvd), Don't Know Much About The Bible (great bood for those who wish to understand what we don't learn in church), Green For Life, The China Study, The Alchemist, God's Debris
- Favorite Quote:
- There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein

Psoriasis - A glimps into the world of my knee's and elbows
I have had psoriasis since my son was born 13 years ago (funny how my mom and sister didn't get it either until having children). I currently have psoriasis on just my knee's and elbows, but have, in the past, been covered on my hands, arms, stomach, back and legs. Anyway, I am not completely raw just yet, but I'm working on it. I would say that about 2/3 of my diet is raw, sometimes more, rarely less. That being said, here's my story.

I am in LA right now. any advice would really help! thanks
My very best to you on your journey.

I wonder if you would update us on your progress with your psoriasis?
Hope to see you this Saturday March 29th at "Successfully Raw!"
Anyway, that's really interesting that you found a guy who does live blood cell analysis. I was going to do that in the city, but Pete Vincent told me that you need to go a few times to get a truly accurate reading. And the guys in Manhattan charge an arm and a leg. I've been looking for a guy with cheaper prices so I can see him more than once. Did you happen to find out how much he charges, or perhaps where he's located so I can contact him myself?
I think my aversion to L.A. wasn't so much the city, it was the air quality. Everytime I went there I had a hard time with the air (breathing is a must for me). After having been in Portland and Sunriver, the air was so clean, and we both decided that it was a transistional job for him, so it was a mutual agreement for me to stay in Sunriver.
I think LA is a great place for your sister. It's fun and lots to do, I just wanted something a little slower. Like you I prefer the more rural areas. We live in La Jolla which is a little more suburban than San Diego but it's a big tourist city. I too like New York for all of it's entertainment and business, like San Francisco. Seattle is a nice city too. I used to go up there several times a year and really enjoyed the beauty of it all.
I also know what you mean about the people in the Philly area, my brother-in-law lives there and the people are different.
We lived in Plano, Texas for 14 years and you want to talk about different. Much more materialistic town than I would have thought.
I guess as I get older I just like it a little slower in my atmosphere. I like keeping busy and I am always busy, but that is self induced. I prefer to have control over it and the city just seems to be a little too busy for me.
We do what we must for our loves. If you are ever headed out to Oregon again just let me know and we'll see if we can work something out.
