although i first went 'raw' in 1999, i haven't maintained the diet this entire time. i managed to white knuckle a 100% raw-dom for a little over 3 years. then, i fell off my high raw horse straight into a pile of flour and sugar... so i rinsed off with coffee and *whamo!* just like that, i was back trying to wrestle out from underneath S.A.D's grip. anyway - weight on, weight off, weight back on - hating myself, loving myself, back to hating myself. way too many health issues for some one of my youth (only *cough cough* years old). so, this time armed with my support team - my partner, stephen, we headed into the new year (2008) increasing our intake of raw, did 30 days of the global juice feast through march, and came out the other side totally raw (And totally loving it!)!
when i got the invite for 'raw fu' i deleted it. i already tribe.net, facebook, twitter, give it to me raw, we like it raw, (i had recently deleted my other raw profile), and i have a blog i already don't have time for. (working too much and now addicted to twitter - thank you suki.) but then, after a moment i went and found it. first of all, suki sent it to me and you don't delete stuff from suki. the woman is too freaking important to me, and just way too cool not to look at what she's into at the moment (eh hem...). and B) (hee hee) i not only could use the support/community, i've been walking around saying , "i want community." why look, here's one! delete? no!
so my little raw-chickadees, here i appear to be. that is the story. this is why i now raw fu. and you?

I know, right? Its funny how life seems to bring the people into your life that you need, right when you need them! Thanks for inviting me to eat with you guys- it ended up taking longer than I thought for take-away and I should have sat with you till then.... next time! At any rate I will be in Healdsburg on the the 16th - looking forward to it!

I'm in SF, and will be coming up to Healdsburg for the event on Nov 16th! I'm just getting started going raw, looking for info and having fun.
Hi Shea! Yes, please let me know if there is a Sunday potluck with Bunny. It looks like we can't make the trip on a Monday night, but we would definitely love to come up if there's a Sunday event. Thanks!! :)
I'm up near CleveLand. We just broke 60 degrees the other day and I thought thankyougod, spring has finally sprung. Ummm, wrong. They're predicting snow showers tonight. Grrrrrr. It's been a loooooong winter. What part of the Buckeye State did you live in? I can certainly understand why you high-tailed it out to CA.
After I watched the video with you and Kevin the other day, I thought of how important it is to feel safe with your colon hydrotherapist. I can honestly say, I think I would feel both comfortable and confident with you inserting a tube up my bum. :D
Thanks for the add, Shea. :-) It was nice seeing you at RSF! I wish we all could have lived there forever in that blissful state of love and consciousness!
Hi there! Saw you're from Santa Rosa! I'm from Morgan Hill...south bay, by Gilroy? Anywho, are you a Cafe Gratitude fan? Did you know they are going to be opening one in Sept in Healdsburg? You lucky gal...if ya like them! Closest raw for me is a place in Palo Alto.
