About Me:: I am walking flux; constant, unweilding change. I am fascinated by the beauty of the world around me, and I see magic in all things. These days I feel I am on the verge of exploding, bursting out of the past, out of every wall I've ever built around myself, letting go of who I've made myself into, and figuring out who I really am....and I'm loving every moment of the journey.

My entire life revolves around love, exploration and nature.....and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Relationship Status:: It's Complicated

Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?: right now.... parsley...i cannot get enough parsley

Interests (outside of Raw Food):: dancing until my feet hurt, hiking for hours, yoga, singing until my soul feels clean, playing in nature, playing in general, pushing boundaries, making love until my knees buckle, opening up, letting go, practicing fearlessness, questioning everything, exploring the universe, inside and out, and anything else that feels right in the moment.

gardening, music, reading, ecstatic dance, kundalini dance, sustainability, archaeology, ancient history, science in all it's forms, love, anything outdoors, books, beekeeping, creating community, wild foods, and wildness in general, painting, drawing, kayaking, playing, the ocean, religion, mythology, hiking, swimming, exploration of self, of others, of life, of everything.

Favorite Books or Authors:: The Shamanic Way of the Bee, Illusions, Living Energies, Sunfood Diet Success System, Healing with Whole Foods, The Ancient Wisdom of the Chinese Tonic Herbs, Her, A Coney Island of the Mind, Permaculture: Principles and Practices Beyond Sustainability, Secrets of the Soil, The Secret Life of Plants, Conscious Eating, The Savage Breast, Inward Revolution, Edible Wild Plants: A North American Field Guide, The Sufi Book of Life, Letters on Cezanne, Wild Dreams of New Beginnings, The Secret Teachings of Plants, The Gift: Poems by Hafiz, The Iliad, The Odyssey, The Nag Hamadi Library, Bacchae, Women Who Love Sex, The Egyptian Book of the the Dead, all manner of ancient texts

I had thought I that I would use my very first blog post to introduce myself, but this morning something more important came up. This morning I responded to a post on another forum, a post that i found deeply disturbing, and not at all uncommon in the rawfood community. It was written by someone who was claiming, in essence, that his superfood lifestyle had made it seem near impossible to even consider having a romantic relationship with someone 'cooked'. He seemed to think that as a result of h… Continue

It's great to see so many people from Victoria. I haven't been to any potlucks, I am so new to all of this I didn't know where to start! Is there a website specifically for Victorian Raw Foodies?

It's been a while. How are you? How's spring in BC, Canada?
Here in Sweden everything in on the verge of bursting into a light green explosion. It makes me soooo HAPPY!

At 5:23pm on March 8, 2008, Pontus Kristensson said…: Hi Tamara

Sorry for the delayed answer. And great to hear that you love your life. I love my life to. Thou I've been kind of busy and probably will be this entire spring. I see your point in enjoying time more when you have less time to share with someone. I experience kind of the same with my kids. I do not see them very much during the weeks. Maybe an hour before their bedtime, yet I almost value that one hour a night more than all the time I get to spend with them during the weekend. It's kind of funny in a way that one have to be short of time to really appreciate it...
It sure is nice that the days are getting longer right now. I love the beuty of spring and acctually disussed this wiht a Ghanian friend the other day. Right now nature looks dead here and it is really hard to imagine thet in on month or so everything will just explode in a beutiful cascade of life. Vibrating and glowing...that's a big advantage with a rainy, grey and dark winter. I really look forward to the bursting of nature and this year I have decided to enjoy it fully. To spend a lot of time in nature during those few weeks of the rebirth of nature. Love, joy and nature will spire...
What's spring like in BC?

love and laughter

At 3:20am on February 5, 2008, Pontus Kristensson said…: I can see the difficulty in being 100% raw when living at two places. But 85-100% is a high rate. I was 50-75% raw for 2 years before taking my eating habits to a higher level. I will try to stay 100% for as long as possible. Yet in some situations it's hard. I really have to prepare myself, both mentally and sometimes with foods that is easy to bring. Yet Sweden is a good country when it comes to being raw. Almost every restaurant have at least one sallad on their main course and if you eat lunch at a restaurant the mostly often have a good sallad buffé. It's more a social thing here, especially in the privat sphere, i.e parties and so. My biggest issue is getting hold of foods like raw GMO-free organic cacao, gojiberries, cocobutter, stevia, nutbutters, seeds and beans for sprouting and so on. I have to order most of it from the US or the UK. So it gets kind of expensive due to transportation costs. Still it's SO worth it.

I was commuting 5-6 hours last spring for about 3-4 month. It was a tough time. Mostly because I have kinds. How long have you been commuting in that way? How do you find it when it comes to relationsships, friends, family etc?

At 2:57am on February 4, 2008, Pontus Kristensson said…: I like this spot. It's so nice to share these experiences with all the beutiful people here...especially since I am quite alone being raw back here. Hopefully I will inspire others here to go raw as well. I just have to become more confident about it. Thou I think I'm starting to affect my familys eating patterns a bit. It makes me filled with gratitude and joy.
How long have you been raw Tamara? I'm counting weeks still, on my fifth 100% raw week right now...
