Today marks the first anniversary of my journey back to my 100 raw & mostly vegan diet.
6/18 marked the 4th anniversary of discovering hemp protein powder and starting on this raw journey.
7/28 will mark the 4th anniversary of when I plunged in earnest into my journey with raw diet which at some point became 100% raw, and then reverted back to high raw.

To say I am profoundly grateful for the gifts this lifestyle has brought me is an understatement.
Since July 19th, I have eliminated 60 pounds from my body.
I have more energy.
My mood is generally more sunny, content & even.
I am happier, even more creative, far more clutter free in general & living a fuller more delightful life.

In this time I have discovered the joys of buying local foods, visiting the farmer's market regularly & having a CSA farm share.
I have also tasted the bliss that is Cacao, Durian & Kale Chips (not all at the same time mind you).

Life is so bright I gotta wear shades!
I look forward to seeing what the next year of rawness brings, and am committing today to the goal of another year of 100% raw 99.4% of the time one day at a time.

Some highlights I already know about...
Raw Spirit in Sedona AZ in September (my husband and I are going this year!)
Our monthly Raw Maine Meetups on the 3rd Sunday @ 5.
Apple picking in the fall.
Pickle making with cukes, dill & garlic from my own garden.
Visits with some of my raw friends and many other adventures yet to be discovered!

I got it peeled and boxed in the frozen section at the local asian market, once I got thawed and in its skin at the same market. It is next to impossible to get it fresh in the US. Apparently you can get it fresh in Canada as well as the UK.
