back on the west coast with 26 minutes 'till day 4.
big day in dallas and a big plane ride home and a lot of stuff since i have arrived back in the land of the O.C.
pretty interesting week in dallas; i started eating raw food without transition a week and a half ago and got on a plane to dallas with my new raw food magic book called the "Sunfood Diet Success System" by David Wolfe and the sparks flew and i wrote a ton of goals and insights and stars and comets and the like... i arrived on sunday night as an education consultant for a business intelligence software company, staying in a hotel within walking distance to the gig site (9 to 5). i found the local healthfood market with the help of front desk person and bought lots of organic greens and fruits and some extra virgin olive oil and some liquid aminos and avacodos to make it through the week.... i ordered a little refrigerator with my room, borrowed some paper plates, forks and knives and fed my self raw fruits and vegetables for the week while teaching 8 hour a day techie courses....
as it was, to make everything much more interesting and colorful, my body-mind went to the detox universe and i sort of swam through the week with fairly heavy detox symptoms; physical and emotional ranging from a mixture of organic raw high and fevery chills, lack of concentration, energy, fear, anxiety, elation, etc..., etc..., like withdrawals type symptoms and yet had to teach professional classes to professional students. i had some fine and lucid teaching moments that the class connected deeply with and i had some could not get my brain to work moments as well.
on monday night, i tried to find this raw food restaurant somewhere in dallas and ended up stumbling into a halloween costume party at a local establishment 'bar/restaurant' and had myself a hell of good time and met some very interesting wonderful people and drank more very high quality red wine than i had in some time... in an attempt to mitigate some of my intense emotional detoxing experience.
no hangover the next day and i taught a great class!
i took two baths in the evenings, bought candles and incense from the health food store, listened to music from my laptop ipod music setup, practiced my flute, did lots of stretching, reading, goal setting and started a committment to a blog a day!!!
it's all coming together...
today i stumbled on an opportunity to hang out with David Wolfe and a bunch of fun and wonderful people on the Big Island of Hawaii for a raw, yoga, meditation, fun in the surf and sun New Year's Extravaganza week long party and i signed up and am going!!!!
yea mon!!
pumpkin hour in seconds, so i will close for now
thank-you

what an awesome post! i can’t wait to hear more about this new diet you’re on and how you deal with it, the things that come up, how you handle them … yeah! :)
hi kate!
thanks for the comment! raw food is the key! just start adding more raw food in to your diet like fresh organic fruit like apples and pears, oranges, and then add a good leafy green salad with an avocado, a little olive oil and organic balsamic vinegar or some liquid aminos, raw sunflower seeds, anything organic and green and maybe an organic tomato or red bell pepper for color
start a journal about your experiences! : ) share it with your friends and family : )
ahhhhh, i already eat a lot of raw food like that, i’m just curious as to you going ALL raw food … i had some friends do it for a couple of years … wild stuff :)
kate, it is the most important decision i have ever made! it has been 'the' decision that is freeing everything else. i am not the person i was before. i am becoming my truest self and that is affecting everything… and i am only 2 and 1/2 weeks in! : )
