Ramblings

Hello everybuddy! Loved the comments and support on my last post . Many of you feel the same that it’s just nobody’s business when it comes to breastfeeding. Thank you media for stirring the pot unnecessarily.

At the same time though, while on Pinterest, one of the people I follow (or in this case, a company), Motherlove Herbal Company,  posted a link to an article on extended breastfeeding and its many benefits. An interesting read if you’ve got the time.

I will point out what this article mentions that the average duration for breastfeeding around the world is 4.2 years of age.

So anyway, there you go. Keep doing what YOU feel is best.

Hope you had a great Mother’s Day (even if you don’t have kids of your own, I feel like we’re all mothers in some way to someone even if they’re the furry kind). I had a good day. A few days before mama’s day, I got treated to a 2-hour Thai massage. Oh my. I’d never had one before so I was a bit freaked beforehand that it would hurt too much. It did hurt at times, she found trouble spots I had no idea I had but in the end I was just a pile of goo. It was so lovely. I can’t wait to go back! In fact, I am this weekend for an oil massage.

Oh, and speaking of this weekend, Sunday is my 5K. Woo hoo! I’m ready as I’ll ever be. Still not running it but will be walking. I was even more motivated to participate when I saw this last weekend a couple walking (dad pushing a stroller) during another ½ marathon/5K going through my neighborhood. The mom was doing the race on CRUTCHES! Man. I have zero excuse to wimp out (not that I’m planning on it). She’s my hero.

How would you guys like if I posted about some vegan eats I made/ate recently? They’re not raw (far from it) but they were good eats! I shared pics on instagram/twitter but I’m feeling like I should give more credit to them since they were someone else's recipes. Anyway, I might do that in a future post.

Till next time…

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding ...

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes...

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow...
