Today I make a couple of big announcements. 1. RawFu is moving to Baltimore, and 2. RawFu Magazine is going on hiatus. We've got to get our life plate back in balance before we can continue bringing the magazine to you. Next Challenge starts August 10, and is 100% FREE and FUN!
This video marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life. A chapter that a year ago, I could have never imagined. A year ago, I thought I'd be working at the same job, in the same home office, in my same hometown. When life throws you curve balls, you have to be able to switch hit.
This past year has been one of the most confusing of my life. The most amazing thing happened to me (the birth of RawFu.com), and the most amazingly bad thing happened to me (losing my income). It's been a year of ups, downs, in-betweens, and more. I've gained everything, and lost almost everything.
I honestly don't know how to feel right now. But getting jobs at the Zing, moving, and taking away the pressure of RawFu Magazine feels exciting, relieving, nerve-wracking, sad, happy, funny, etc. A bunch of emotions all rolled into one.
I've learned a lot over the past few months. The most important thing I've learned is what I really want out of this site and this experience. I just want to be here for you. I don't want to sell you anything. I don't want to make my hobby and my passion into my living. It ruins things for me, actually. I want this to be my place of joy, service, and love. And I look forward to another year with all of you.
Much luck to you Bunny! Just when you think you've got it all figured out, huh?? I can tell you from experience that getting your work life more in line with your hopes and dreams for yourself the easier it is. Going to work in the morning becomes a blessing instead of drudgery.
Oh my, I don't know quite what to say. Your emotions are appropriate to the situation(s). All over the place!!
Thank you for your candor regarding RawFu magazine. I'm not even I subscriber, but I appreciate your heart about it.
"I don't want to sell you anything. I don't want to make my hobby and my passion into my living. It ruins things for me, actually. I want this to be my place of joy, service, and love."
God bless you as you transition into your ever changing life in Baltimore.
Wow!!! Congratulations to you and Basil! I just dreamed about Jeff last night and now I hear that you'll be there with him and his family!! That's so awesome!!!!!
Natural Zing is THE most ethical company I've ever had experiences with. How wonderful to be working for them, Beth!! Whoot!!!
Your next RawFu challenge sounds similar to something I've been working on. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with it!
Congrats again and I look forward to seeing how things go for all of you (your family and Jeff's family)!!
Awesome cool jobs and money .They are 2 good things in life.Are we still going to see you here for several years with the new job?We hope so.Wow up North on the east side~.Congrats.But Oh No on the Magazine,thats too bad!
you GO GIRL! was wondering how in the heck you were doin it all! so much! it's incredible. whew! congratulations & sweetest wishes for some good balance & new baltimore adventures. green smoothie cheers, honey :)
I am blown away by this, in the best possible way. You opened yourself up and asked for help and it came! I am so heartened by this.
Bawlmer and Merland, by the way, are not really the north. All the hons there let people think that. But they consider themselves southerners!!! Or at least that's what natives told me when I lived in Balto very happily for a couple of years.
I live just south in Arlington, VA, so I definitely will be seeing you!
