THANKS, Michelle! What an honor! I've had my hands in clay, my head in the kiln the past couple of weeks, and am now painting, painting, painting day & night, but will get caught up asap.

You tell this beautifully. The joy of discovery, and childlike innocence. I love it. How sad that racism existed like that, and still does to this day.

Yikes! Just plain american food pleeease.

2010-01-20T10:28:41.511-08:00

It is a little hard when you're cooking for others--I found that out when I had company this weekend. But since I've been 'good' for this long, it wasn't worth blowing it--and probably not feasible, anyway. It would probably be easier to start when you're on your own, though.
I like tofu, depending, but never cook with it--I've got a block or two in the fridge that have been there for ages. Will try to incorporate some when I start eating again. (Do you have any particulaly yummy recipes?) I think I'm going to hold off on cheese, and even eggs for as long as I can. Thanks again for the tips & support :)

I do tons of tofu and soy products, and eggs. Mixing beans and rice is a great things, too. It's not as hard as it seems, like any routine once you get going. I may do the cleanse again when my kids and hubs go on a ski trip so I don't have to suffer through cooking for them :D

2010-01-16T11:09:05.699-08:00

Thank you! It's really encouraging to hear from someone who's been there. And had such great results!
I'm wondering what you eat on a low carb regime if you don't eat meat? Maybe I can get past these cravings, as well. I appreciate the encouragement :)

2010-01-15T10:12:21.704-08:00

i did this cleanse a few years ago, and it was great. i haven't been a meat eater in 20 odd years, so i think there were some things that were easier for me. i did lose 15 pounds permanently, and was able to start up a low carb regime that I stuck with until I got pregnant! I did 10 days and came off it with very watered down oj. then broth, and then miso.
Go YOU!!!

2010-01-15T09:29:19.258-08:00

That does not sound yummy at all! Still concentrating on staying on the fast, but there are guidelines for coming off, when I do. I think orange juice the first day, then vegetable soup the next. (before any diving into carnivorous gluttony. lol)
Hope you're staying warm enough! (())

2010-01-14T20:47:17.445-08:00

Good for you! Sounds like you are doing great. How will you break the fast...I have heard that soaked prunes are best. It will finsih cleaning you out!

Hi again Julie,
Thanks for your comments, here & on twitter. I often just write what's in my heart (and on my mind) at the time, and afterwards sometimes think: maybe I shouldn't have revealed that?! But then I get such nice responses...nice to know that we're all in this together.

2009-11-26T10:23:05.921-08:00

I'm moving in with you. If we combine out cook books, there'll not a dish in the world left we can't do. Maybe we should start thinking about opening a restaurant.

2009-11-11T09:25:47.504-08:00

Funny! I love the turtles you're selling in your Etsy stores - my mom collects them so I'm always on the lookout for interesting turtle items! :)

Beautiful poem! Makes me feel better in a way, for having lost a friend, I guess. There was a reason for it and a lesson learned and life has gone on! Thank you for sharing!

2009-09-24T09:51:02.176-07:00

Thanks, Michelle. And good for you! This experience has really made me think about integrity, and that we have to start, always, with being true to ourselves. If we're not, we're not really being honest with anyone else, either. It's a new viewpoint for me, and not an easy one. But as you pointed out, EMPOWERING! :)

2009-09-24T00:40:35.666-07:00

All I can say is, "Right on!" How strange that I too have recently gone through something quite similar. I have always had a hard time standing up for myself too, but I am changing! In a way I guess I cut my "friend" out of my life because I stood up for myself, but I can tell you this much, something better does come along. I have more self confidence, and a better sense of how I want to be treated, I almost feel free! It's hard at first, but pretty soon you will realize this too! I am blabbing on, but really something wonderful is on it's way!
