I couldn't really get out of bed today. I'm not okay. I needed time to rest.

Have you heard of Fired! by Annabelle Gurwitch (of Dinner and a Movie fame)? You can watch the trailer at www.firedthemovie.com. If you get a chance rent the movie. Audible.com also has a free audio excerpt.

Getting fired sucks - I hope you had a good day working through your feelings about it.

[Peter Love]

Bunny,

I hope you feel better ASAP! My wife was in the same condition you were in when she lost her job a couple of months ago. I told her not to worry. It was meant to be so you can move on to bigger and better things. I went to get her to see if she could type some thngs to help you come out of the funk as she did, but she fast asleep, as she is coming down with a cold. I will have her do so tomorrow.

In the meantime, concentrate on the positive and the most important things you have in your life: your health, family, loved ones, friends and us. Easier said than done, but try, OK. Yes, I know how you feel for I have lost jobs before. Walked off of some too. But, you won't feel like this for long and will soon realize there is something awaiting your calling such as RawFu that will sprout into something more than you are able to realize at the moment. So grief and then move on. Can you imagiinge what a musiican's life is like on the road? We don't know what to expect week to week. I am have been fortunate for the most part, but illness, and other things out of my control have made me lose gigs and I didn't know where the next pay check was coming from. I am used to such thing now. I just want my health. You are a winner with good health and charisma. That will take you so far. Just watch and see.

Last, there is a song I wrote a few years ago when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I titled the song,
"My Safe Harbor." Please take time out to hear it and read the lyrics. I worte it to help others facing life challenging situations have hope as I needed and found. Click on the links below my name or just type "Peter Love and My Safe Harbor," into your PC's browser hit th go button and one of several links with the song on it should come up. I hope it helps. Music is, or can be a soother.

Hope you feel better real soon!!!!

With love,
Peter Love

Bunny....
I'm so sorry you are sad...I admire your total transparency!!
And I believe these circumstances have been engineered to give new direction to your life!
Please read Jeremiah 29:11...it's a promise just for you today :)
I send love....

[Debbie]

Wow Bunny! You made me cry. I'm so sorry that you are faced with these challenges. I honestly know how hard it can be. I can promise you that this too shall pass with time. You can mourn for now, but then you need to brush yourself off and remember what you are grateful for, and now that the best is yet to come - even during this hard reality called life. Your fears right now are real, and I actually share them with you. But I can tell you, that you must feel confident that know matter what happens you can get through it...no matter how painful it seems right now - you can get through it...now matter what you think you may lose - you will heal from this and get through it...and best of all, better things will bloom from this! I know it in my heart!

I just finished reading The Secret...again. And I'm reading The Power of One...and I've been reading tons of related blogs, and working on dealing with this reality. We've been scared, but I'm actually starting to see the silver lining...plus, just looking back on life, it's cyclical...and each time it does get better. Remember, the journey is what matters...

Get some needed rest! Enjoy your fuzzy slippers! Enjoy your Thanksgiving! Surround yourself with love and joy and happiness! And remember all the wonderful things that are positive in your life right now - regardless of all the other "stuff" - money, house, job, all that shit! I'm telling you...it will get better - even if your mind doesn't think so - it will! So, things will be a little tight...so maybe you'll be a little late with a few payments...so maybe things won't be as perfect and high financially as they have been...but remember this...you're not alone, and it will pass and get better. And as long as you have your health, your mind, your faith, your family, and your will, and your ambition - you will overcome! You will be stronger for it! And not to sound to preachy, but I do believe, God only gives us as much as we can handle! And what you can believe, you can conceive and achieve --- so be conscious of what you fill your thoughts with. You can do it - and do it well! I have faith in you Bunny! You can move mountains! Look at this community you built! You can do it!

God bless you Bun-Bun! Please feel better - I wish I could give you a great big hug! Love you!

Happy Thanksgiving my cyber-raw friend!!! :)

Excellent book recommendation Debbie! The Last Lecture is incredible! Blessings to you!

Debbie said:

aw bun, I hate to see you this way... remember "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger", you are in a trial by fire right now my love. mourning is necessary to healing , take all the time you need. Tears are the cleansing you need, a rain storm from your soul..
To boost your spirits, try "the Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch or "four hour work week", or how about Chelsea Handlers book "Are you there god? it's me Chelsea." she is hilarious

love you bunches and bunches, sending thanks for all you do for us rawness dudes
love deb

Kisses on your forehead, Sweet Bunny! I know it hurts like hell right now and I know you need to go through that. But let me tell ya something.....
My favorite video of yours is the July 11th video on your bunnyberry.blogspot site. People, if you haven't seen it, you need to go check it out. That video was made by one talented person. I mean HUGELY talented. As other Rawfuers have said here, when one door closes, another one opens up. I KNOW you are destined for better and greater things. We all have been blessed by your presence in our lives and by your talent. Who else would ever come up with Rawkathon Bingo cards! Or Breakfast with Bunny, or your amazing workbooks for this challenge, the list goes on and on. I mean pah-lese! You amaze me everyday, Bunny Berry. And someday soon, another place or company or corporation or whatever you want it to be will recognize your wild talent and snatch you up quicker than you can say "eat your veggies" and they will know how very blessed and fortunate they are for having you with them!!!
God bless you, Bunny. Take all the time you need. Feel the love, baby!! And Happy Thanksgiving.
HUGS, Meredith

Your strength, talent, and humor will get you through this. I am so thankful for who you are and what you are doing. Sending Love, Light, and Laughter to you Sweetie! Hugs, Melissa

[Tara]

Bunny, Bunny, Bunny it will be ok. It hurts really bad now but things will get better. When one door closes another one opens. Hang in there! God doesn't give us more than we can handle. Things will turn around .....you will see. Sending you big hugs, prayers and kisses.

[Jenni]

I'm sorry that you're feeling sad Bunny, of course it's understandable and very upsetting to lose a job. You have a positive impact on so many people, and I hope you find a new position that suits you well very soon. If I had a company I'd hire you! If I was rich I would hire you to start a raw school. I am thankful to have you as a virtual friend sweetie.

p.s. I made the bunny spice smoothie tonight for dinner, it was delish.

[rawmagic]

My heart goes out to you and hope you feel better soon. Same thing happened to me and now im doing an internet venture. Good luck to you on a new paradigm in your life. Remember when one door closes another one opens. A book i recommend is the ringing cedars and getting the ringing cedars pendant. You can read a preview on google books.
