Raw Sharing

It's been on my mind all week to send supportive energy to anyone eating Raw foods and wanting to eat them exclusively, and finds it challenging, falls off the wagon, and has a hard time getting back on.
So many of us have been eating a certain way for most of our lives, and are surrounded by others not only in our immediate space but especially when we are away from home, at work, or travelling, eating foods we are accustomed to (for some addicted). It can be a bit of a deterrant to constantly have to explain your menu to everyone, or be the "odd ball" in a group. I also believe it takes time, not only to learn about Raw foods, but to retrain your physical, and mental responses to foods, so be kind to yourself, and give it some time.
I hope you can find some comfort in your journey, knowing that by just learning about, and adding Raw foods to your diet, even if not 100%, you are giving yourself, and sharing with others, nourishment for your body, mind, and soul, and contributing positively to the mother of all, the planet we live on, who desperately needs us to respond if we are to continue on as a species. I don't think she can take much more of this dis-ease we are constantly communing with.
So, keep at it. Don't put yourself through undue stress, especially with the holiday season coming up. Find ways to prepare easier recipes, and SHARE with others that are eating Raw foods. Get a group together around the holiday, and make a large batch of one dish to share and ask them to do the same, and before you know it, you have a meal with several components to delight over, instead of a bowl of mash on a plate of greens.
As always, do this with kindness towards yourself, and wish that very same back to others, and I feel you will find the weight lifted off somewhat, and will enjoy eating Raw much more.
I am open if anyone in the area wants to get together on a share/swap....and hope to plan a potluck for November here @ my house...If anyone hears of any other Raw happenings they want me to post and share, pls. let me know! Rawjen
