Oh. MY. Goodness! This is OUR table!!! You HAVE to click on this picture to blow it up to appreciate it!
I just went & spent a BUNCH on produce, our fridge & cupboards are gonna overflow, no more being tempted with non-raw! We got a BUNCH of it at 50% off, & lots of it is even organic! Hannah just had to set it all up, & said it looks & SMELLS SOOOO beautiful...it's edible art!!!
Hannah & I are BOTH back to raw, & it's been 2 days (almost 100%, had some organic salad dressing, & one or two other things, but with all THIS, I'm now ready for 100%!) & I feel better already!
(& my blood sugars are beginning to come down!)
Some amazing breakthroughs have been happening in my life, the Lord's been healing some things that've hindered me for 13 years! So much has shifted...too many to write about them all right now, but needless to say, someting major has changed in me, & I am ready in a way that I've never been! Awhile back, in prayer, I asked the Lord to revela whatever it was that has been hindering me from being consistant, to show my WHY I was sabotaging myself..& he has answered my prayers! Suddenly it's EASY again to stay raw!!!
It all began with RawdawgRory's mom going raw, moving in with him & his lovely wife for 6 weeks to have their support, & Rory's wonderful food skills at her disposal!

As I was watching her walking into his house, up a little hill with her walker, getting in & out of the car, talking about her health issues, I saw myself....not in 20 years, not in 10, but SOON, if I don't stop the direction I've been going in!
I saw her determination, her commitment, her excitment about this, her HOPE, like I had when I first began, & it somehow brought me back to that place of simple eagerness!!! I can also see where I've been headed rapidly, with mobility issues, & fitting in a vehicle (one of my first goals is to be able to fit behind a steering wheel again!) & I've even got a walker, & have been told I'll likely need an electric wheelchair soon!
BUT I WON'T!!! I am heading in the other direction once again! I can't believe it's taken me this long, I've been going back & forth for many months now, & I'm feeling so FREE, all of a sudden, of that wavering! I'm ready, & committed, & PREPARED (which I believe is a major ket to succeeding with this!)
the other breakthrough involved forgiving someome for something said 13 years ago, that made me feel incapable of changing, healing, & being restored...once I forgave them completely, the chains fell off in my spirit, & I am able to see it all differently...7 the hurt, 7 hinderance is gone!
The ONLY way we can eat all this food before it goes bad is if we STAY 100% raw!!! (& hey, I've even been getting on the treadmill again!!! Only 5 minutes at a time, but I'm determined to work my way up quickly to MUCH, MUCH MORE!!!
& I WILL update y'all more often! I give you my word! At LEAST once a week, K?!

Candy is NOT Dandy...Smoothies are Groovy!!!
Well, as Christians, we don't 'do' Halloween, but Hannah's cousin's invited her over to watch movies & play games, seeing as their night of trick'or'treating was cancelled, due to swine flu concerns...so she dug through my closet & found my orange clothes, & stuffed 'em with quilt batting & pillows, & went to their house as a pumpkin! ("Cuz God made pumpkins, so it's not a scary costume!")
So anyways, they pulled a fast one, & went trick'or'treating ANYWAYS! *Sigh* & she's offered me all her chocolate, to appease me...but I DON'T WANT IT! So I'm saying NO THANKS!!! & I'm going to feast on pumpkin seeds, pomegranites, pumpkin spice flavoroed green smoothies, & a BIG yummy salad for dinner tonight, & am determined to get it out of the house as fast as possible!
I am NOT afraid of swine flu, BUT I am aware that with my health conditions, I'm more at risk for complications than the average person, so I know the last thing I need to do is bombard my body with a regular intake of sugar! (Not to mention what that'll do with my diabetes & blood sugar levels!!!)
I've been gathering links/info on swine flu, to help people make a decision not based on fear, but on the facts, they're posted on a new blog I've put together called, "Links To Make You Think" & I'll be posting whatever research I gather there (next topic/Cancer - if you have any good alternative healing/healing testimony links on this, please send them to me at stazia@telus.net , thanks!) & as I've been posting them, I've been so thankful for the ability & time to research these things & help others to educate themselves on issues of importance.
Here's the link: http://linkstomakeyouthink.blogspot.com/2009/09/swine-fluwhat-to-do.html
I trust God to continue healing me, to keep me healthy & alive as long as I'm meant to be here, & I hope you, too, will live a strong, healthy long life serving Him & others, blessing everyone He brings across your path with your love of life, your joy, your passion for living for Him & His purposes!
& remember, if it's not nutritious & delicious, it ain't worth eating!!!
(& here's some raw pumpkin recipes, just for good measure! & REMEMBER TO THROW IN SOME PUMKIN PIE SPICES INTO YOUR SMOOTHIES! YUM!!!)
