I am stopping by the Fu to visit....I have missed this place and all the friends I made - especially Bunny. I just read the discussion on the HUMONGOUS news and it inspired me. I too lost my JOB but do not get unemployment - was just done...so I a...

Join This Group To Track Your Progress in the WholeFu August 2009 Challenge!
So happy for you! Divine timing I am sure! Good luck, blessings and looking forward to see where this takes you!
Hey there, I thought I would throw in my two cents, as I have a Jack Lalanne juicer and LOVE it! In know I know, but I got it at a garage sale for 5bucks! Some of my friends also wanted one and I have found 3 for people at garage sales all for und...
Thanks so much Mary! It is so individual isn't it, and really the people in our lives and the love that they share with us are equally important to if not greater than food - at least I think! Food is really fuel, it can be more sometimes - joy, b...
Hi Michelle, I loved this post and I can relate to most of the challenges you have shared here. I hope all the health and welfare issues with your loved ones will resolve very soon. I dont have those to deal with. I'm really looking forward to par...

Things are good here, I did a major purge, finished my spring cleaning, painted and planted. We are in our last week of homeschool, we have really outdone ourselves this year with the amount of work we have covered and finished. Kid’s minds are so amazing. Tony is home from his long trip and also from a short week in Peru where he found and brought me home all kinds of funky raw stuff! I’m still not sure about all of it! I did my juice fast for 30 days and absolutely loved the outcome, I will continued to juice regularly and have done quite a few little mini fast for a day or two. This time of year makes being raw much easier for me. The sun is out and tomorrow will be our first family beach day, it was a long winter and spring took it sweet time coming but now that the sun is out and flowers are in full bloom those days seems far behind.
I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers Michelle, sending you peace and every kind of wonderful thought I can think of!

I totally understand about life bein' crazy, been trying to get oyur purse goin', but have been searching everywehre for the pictures, & still can't find them, too many things in my inbox! Is is poosible for you to send then justo ne more time??? I PROMISE to give it it's own special file!!!
Yes, spring has FINALLY sprung here, & I'm trying to learn real fast about getting my little plot of land turned into an organic garden! Hoepfully that'll make it more affordable! I've accepted that the only way I can afford to be consistantly raw is to keep it simple, forget about the extra's for the most part, & just cut back everywehre else I can!
& yes, we definately miss the yumminess of your flax, we'd love to get some more! But not until you tell me more about the quilt you would like me to make! Colors, ideas, etc....so I can begin gathering things to get goin' on it!
{Hannah especially loves the blueberry one, & the gojiberry one was my favorite!}
Do you need my address again? I'll need yours for the purse, which I hope to have done soon!!! Both my hands have been really numb lately, (carpal tunnel syndrome) since gaining back some weight & goin' back & forth with raw...hopefully they'll be much better real fast, now that I'm back to raw ~
Well, off to make our smoothie now, before the fruit flies completely take over the kitchen! It's been nice to hear from you,
praying for you both,
& sending our love to you, too,

- Hi Michelle!
What a treat to hear from you! Yes, I am doing a juice feast or fast depending on the day. I finally got my act together on February 28 and hit the raw again running at full speed. I finally felt like I am in control again. A few friends here on raw fu were talking about doing a juice feast and I was very hesitant to go for it and would not commit and did not start with them. I had tried it before and failed and didn’t wasn’t sure I even wanted to give it a try again. Then one morning in March, I woke up and thought OK, I’ll do juice for one day. One day lead to two and now here I am on day 27. I don’t know how long I will continue, 92 days seems like so long, too long to even think about for me. I am feeling really good right now, I have lost some weight and feel like I am finally breaking free of the chains that have held me prisoner in my own body.
We are all thrilled to have Tony home and to welcome spring. This winter has been long and hard and we are anticipating the warmer longer days here, spring is taking its time coming to Greece too.
Tell me more about how you and your family are. Are you settled now? I am sure you will be on track very soon. I know how hard I struggled and how many days I started over again and again and then one day it just all fell into place. I have faith the same thing will happen for you, don’t loose hope and keep on trying, do your best and be kind to yourself.
Love,
Ce

- Hi!
Hope you'n'larry & your whole family are doin' well! Please forgive me for not getting in touch sooner, I've been sooooo swamped lately, trying to catch up & keep caught up, but it ain't workin'! Lol!
& I cannot find the pics you've sent ANYWHERE! & I can't remember if we discussed color or not...??? Help! Could you send them again? & tell me your tie dye color preferences? I have green, purple, & possibly turquise...
...sorry 'bout not getting this made yet, it'll be there for spring,k? We're still totally loving the flax every day, (though it's almost gone! I keep catching Hnnah sneakin' it by the spoonful! Haha!) so again, thank-you, & I really appreciate your willingness to barter for it, given my financial struggles...once I get the purse done, would you be open to consider bartering for more? Let me know, & if so, what you'ld be itnerested in...(a quilt? More bags? Personalized items? My sewing machine does letters...)
Havev a wonderful & relaxing weekend!
You're all in my thoughts & prayers,
~Anastazia~

- Hi Michelle!
I so agree with you about he cold making it hard to resist the hot soups, and I also agree that NO GUILT is the way to go however guilt still plagues me when I eat even the good things let alone the bad. Unfortunately what I am doing does seem natural to me but certainly not best for me, though I am always working at staying in the present.
Tony is still gone he will not be home until the spring. Last year it made it easier to stay raw when he was gone, this year I don’t know, it just seems many things are difficult. Thank you for the words of encouragement. Today is yet another new day and a fresh start at being all I want to be.
Wishing you everything you hope for today!
Love, Ce

- It is always a treat to hear from you! I too think of you often and send you prayers from afar. I hope all is well with you. Things here in Greece are fine, the school year is already half over, I’m lonely with Tony gone in Argentina and it is heartbreaking to know that both my sister and brother had babies and I can’t go meet them!!! Sadly, I have been less than raw lately but I have been faithfully drinking my green smoothie’s every morning and I have made it to the gym daily for the last two weeks.

- My life on the “ball” is great! I know just what mean about getting back into raw being a struggle. I first went raw in January of last year and did great for about 100 days, and then I had some Hungarian soup when we were in Budapest and struggled from that day forward, that one bowl of soup lead to my fall and continual struggle with raw! I struggled for the rest of the year to get back on raw; when I found bunny’s site and the first 100 day challenge I thought I hit pay dirt. It worked out fine until my family and other company came to visit and I wanted to impress them with the good Greek food. I did empress them and my scale with weight gain!!! We then travelled quite a bit the end of the summer and I again ate and ate but kept up my green smoothie habit. I kept getting back in the raw water but now deep enough to swim. I was happy that during the holiday challenge I did not gain any weight even though I was not completely raw during the holidays. Right after Christmas I finally got back into the raw 100%, 100% of the time. It reminds me now of when I first went raw, the struggle is just not there, it is coming easy again for some reason and I am now again feeling the wonderful benefits that raw brings to my life. I wish I knew just what shifted in me to make it easier now so I could share it with everyone on here who is walking down the bumpy path that I know so well. All I can tell you is if you keep at it, and don’t beat yourself too much for eating something that is less than ideal you will again be eating the way that your mind knows is best for you. It is a journey like all things we experience in life and the journey is so individual and personal.
I hope all is going well on the job front. Yes, you are blessed to have a job! I have had to set limits on how much time I spend getting lost in all the fun on raw fu too!!
Love, Ce

- Hi!
Happy New Year!
Hope you're all doing well, & had a wonderful holiday! Ours has been really nice, but I injured my shoulder/neck, & haven't been able to move much, type, chop veggies, or hardly anything, & have had to take anti-inflammatores & pain-killers just to be able to get outa bed, & it's barely taken the edge off...not fun...
...so needless to say, no sewing going on!
But send me the pics when you can, & once I can use my arm again without pain, I'll get started on your bag! I have some purple tye dye, & some great green, I'll see if I can send some pics later...
Thanks for checking in with me when I dissapeared, {nice to know I was missed!}

How does everyone do it?
I am stopping by the Fu to visit....I have missed this place and all the friends I made - especially Bunny. I just read the discussion on the HUMONGOUS news and it inspired me. I too lost my JOB but do not get unemployment - was just done...so I am now scrambling...grrrr and trying to keep a positive attitude. My head spins some days and yet I do not want to give in to the fear and be one of "those" people, yet I am so mourning the loss of not only my job at my family business but my FAMILY....m… Continue

Hellooo again!
OK, I am committing to coming back for the next challenge!

I have had quite the storm around me - husbands cancer, daughter with autism and struggling with an eating disorder, moving, l… Continue

Been a while but am FINALLY ready to get started:)
Hey all, it's seems so long since I have been here - a couple of weeks which is not the usual for me, but here I am ready to get started, late, but none the less still here finally! I knew I had to much chaos going on to commit myself to the 1st , so the 5th it was, and today I am doing a water fast to get started, I will also be doing a mini juice feast as I can feel it is needed. The holidays were rough this year, somehow still very enjoyable but rough. Glad they are over and we have a New yea… Continue

Christmas spirit has made a visit...
Hey y'all, I have decided that for my daughters sake and for the sake of sending love out instead of yuk, I wanted a visit from the Christmas Spirit and it came - winning a present from Raw Fu sure helped! Now I am not a huge fan of this time of year as I have stated in the past blog but...my daughter was born on Dec. 25 (oldest one in pics making pie) and she LOVES xmas, so that just doesn't work! Sunshine told me we should get a new tradition and we talked about it and decided that yes we shou… Continue

Wanting to remind myself to Love and share it...even when times feel tough.
December is a hard month for me - perhaps because I say it is so, but that's how it feels to me at this time. I live in MN and it is 25 out and tonight it's going to go to 0, brrr, it's hard to get out of bed as it is soo cold, but alas very early I rise to get my youngest to her bustop at 6:50 - we actually have to start the car for a while before we leave otherwise it is a painful drive (for both car and self) - yes literally painful (for me), my body is not a big fan of the cold. Soon I hope… Continue
