Rawdonkulous

I remember when I went raw back in May '07...it only took three weeks to feel so amazing I had to tell the world (and started my blog).

Now that I've been patchy about being raw every day, having lost the 'mindset', I haven't been feeling that amazing at all!

But tonight, I'm sittin' here thinking 'it only took three weeks to feel so amazing...'

Can I show up for myself for 3 weeks? (after which I'll be RAWKIN' again)...

I think so. I know so. It's just that mindset thing.

I'm ready for the vibrant change that comes with raw, that amazing energy I barely remember...good thing I documented my journey. Hey, maybe I'm still on it! Maybe I've just been on a little detour.

Anyone else want to start being more raw conscious for the next three weeks (and beyond) with me?

Anything from a daily green smoothie, to adding salad with lunch, to eating gourmet raw dehydrated meals and everything in between...

I'm going to crack open my Natalia Rose 'Raw Food Detox Diet' book again, and get all fired up!!

And I'm going to go through my own archives and get back on my own team! I've made more conscious choices in the past week, and I'm well on my way; it's that mindset thing. Usually, I climb right into something, and I guess I've been waiting to feel that again. But I think I'll just start.

There's a method to my madness...

Today I was taking a photo of the back of me, to use in a painting I'm doing. I had a whole different notion of what it was going to look like, and was shocked to see this big bubble ass! haha when the hell did that happen? I was doing so well!!

Nothing like a shot o' reality to wipe that pie off your face ;)

Rawk & Roll Lifestyle




Wanna see the life I am open to recieving? :)








I've been playing with wealth consciousness and manifesting, and I'm getting downright magical with it. All sorts of goodies are coming my way!



My mantra, taken from 'A Happy Pocket Full of Money', is



I am wealth. I am abundance. I am joy.



I've set up a folder of goal images that play as my screensaver slide show. So whenever my screen is idle for a minute or so, it comes on. Is it ever a powerful way to bring what you desire into your life!





I'll give you a peek at some of what I've been focusing on lately, by showing you the images in my goals folder.




I love the feel (and honey color) of this bedroom...
And I love this one, too...




I have a 1982 32-seat, 19 ft Bluebird schoolbus sitting in the back lane. This is it, after we gutted it. By 'we' I mean Steve. :)We bought it with the idea of fixing it up and touring our band around Canada for a lark.

Pimp my ride...

I found this photo on the internet and this is pretty much exactly the look I want. Isn't it cool and homey and awesome? I just love this. Would need a big counter for my dehydrator, though :)








Right now, the bus sits in need of a new tire and a major clean-up. Our teenaged sons take turns 'crashing' in the bus. The oldest lived in it for 7 months! And I only knew of about 3 of them!







But I digress.




Steve has a bike, and I want my own...a purdy one like this...

me, being debaucherous at the Hilton in Whistler B.C.
Well hello there!

It's about time, eh?

I've been so remiss about tending to this blog, and to my raw board. Sheesh.

What can I say... the summer, which I thought would be the easiest time to be raw, has turned out to be hard.

My 'raw mind' hasn't turned to mush or anything, but my choices are sometimes less than stellar, and my weight is climbing back up, and I'm dancing with old symptoms again.


I do still have salad and green smoothies, but more in the way a S.A.D. eater does it, as 'sides'. I haven't been following my beloved lifestyle, gobbling back a half watermelon for breakfast, or using the largest silver salad bowl in the set and chowin' down a salad.

What am I even eating? That's the thing, it's not so bad, it's just not so great. Not as great as it can be. I have dipped into the terrible, once, with fries of all things (one of the worst!) but overall, have maintained a high fruit, high vegetable diet, only not always raw. I've eaten more meat than usual.

My clothes are tight and I'm bulging again. Honestly. I sure do fluctuate with my efforts. I go all the way into something and go full boar then do the same thing with the next thing. I split my energy between things that I am passionate about...painting, art shows, my band, gigs, EFT, the law of attraction, manifesting, and lately, wealth consciousness. The raw lifestyle is definitely still where I'm at, only now it's been mostly a half-assed effort. As a result, I look and feel half-assed. I'm runnin' at half-ass.

Like any other mother of teen sons, I try to juggle everything in the air, and sometimes one goes by the wayside. I don't understand getting lazy when it's all going so great. Never have I felt better or looked healthier, than last year. Although, come to think of it-- I do understand, because I understand self-sabotage, something we all carry to some degree.

I am a far cry better than I was just over a year ago, when I was drinking as well as eating randomly.

Well this week, I decided to turn another corner, and make better choices again.

I keep a vision board on my desktop, it's a file of my goals in images, and it plays 'slide-show' style as a screen saver. There are about 40 or so pictures that stay on the screen for 11 seconds each. Some of the images are of things I currently have in my life, and am grateful for, and some of the images are things that I tell myself I currently have (but have yet to experience) lol

That's what I'm working on lately. Well, among the images is one of me that is in the past (about 5 months ago) but it's about what I want in the future. I look healthy, fit, and slender, and young for my almost 45 years.

I'm about 10 lbs heavier. It's not all that bad, really; I'm still in the same jeans and such, but I'm bulging them out, lol.


Aw well, this is all so stinkin' easy to fix, it's a joy!


The thing that has to happen is the switch in thinking. And lately, that's been happening. I was re-invited back to my own message board. So I checked in and poked around with an update, and just by doing that, I have felt more accountable and tuned back in to raw than I have in a long time.

Raw has gone from something that was not really too negotiable, to a point where I feel I went back to sleep somehow. It's been an intense year, very emotional, and I can't tell ya how much I've grown and learned. Sometimes painfully, sometimes with absolute joy, and mostly everything in between.

Anyway, I'm waking up. I'm taking raw by the horns again.

I've been away.




We camped our way from Vancouver to Ontario, to visit my family :) We took along our Beloved, Gracie the Englis Mastiff. The van was quite an upgrade from last year, when Gracie rode in Boiler Class in our Honda Civic hatchback. What a stoic and lovely girl she is. Fine, as long as she's with us. And she's born to camp!! She sleeps in our big tent with us, thrilled that 'mom and dad' are sleeping like dog
