RAW Living and Learning

We've had some mighty scary things happening around here and therefore things have been quiet on the blogging end. My Mom had a very serious situation and I can't tell you how afraid I was. My only salvation was knowing that I was not alone, none of us in the family were. We had Christ right by our side leading us and guiding us through this very difficult time.

I am still experimenting with my version of 80-10-10 and I must say I feel really great. I don't get hungry and I am loving all of this fresh, ripe and deliciously sweet fruit.  I actually went through some mild detoxing all over again...that kinda shocked me but I am grateful because I know that alot of cleansing is going on.
