Special Day


Just want to send a special congratulations to my husband, Yardsnacker, who celebrates a special milestone today. Today is his one year anniversay as a super-rockin raw foodist! Woo hoo! As some of you know this can be very challenging (I know!) but he was motivated, determined and enthusiastic about each day. Way to go! It's been so great to see him change and accomplish so much over the past year. It's funny, once he started changing his eating habits early on I knew with him there was no looking back. It wasn't going to be anything temporary but an actual lifestyle change. And hey, thanks to him I've also reaped the rewards of this healthy lifestyle. Congratulations sweetie! Ya done good. Mwah!

Many, Many, Many Congrats to your Hubby!! I'll have to wander on over to his blog to do double duty on spreading the congratulatory love.

YAY! I hope to follow in his footsteps and be able to celebrate one year going raw one day too.

And good for you Rosie too! You have obviously been a huge support for your hubby in these endeavors, so much so that you joined in and are living the lifestyle right alongside him!

Oh, and btw, I'm always happy to support my fellow fur-kid lovin folks. I'm sorry to hear of the run around you are getting with Pico, just know that the vet clinic means well, having dealt with rescue for a long time, it is easy to get a bit jaded and not give folks the benefit of the doubt sometimes because of the really horrible stuff we have to see and hear about day in and day out. Not excusing it by any means but it's definitely a reflection of what they've probably had to deal with for a long time more often than folks actually caring and doing the right thing as you and hubby have.

And if you don't end up with Pico but do decide to adopt a new kitty, remember the boys that I have in foster here in my house, I'd definitely let you take any of em home with you if you wanted to meet them, I would feel 100% confident in the care and love that they would be receiving from you two!

xoxoxo Hugs!

Okay I finally have it figured out now you guys are married! Thanks for filling me in. I thought you were related, maybe brother and sister, but wasn't sure. How lucky you both are! Question - who started the raw food adventure first? So glad to know you both! What a wonderful support team you have!

Sometimes you don't know how lucky you are to have someone until you have completed a journey together. (I hear the Carpenters song "We've Only Just Begun" playing in the background). Applause to you both. So... who does most of the cooking? Again, congratulations to you both on your shared committment and success.

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

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

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
