Kimchee and Cacao

My face has deflated, at last! Hurray and I am feeling much more positive. Funny how feeling physically unwell can totally offset your whole psyhological well-being. The two are so linked, it just takes something like that to make me appreciate how far I have come on raw foods. I am thinking about going back to JFing again, I miss the euphoria and simplicity. Food is so complicated sometimes! New friend Holi is jumping on the JFing bandwagon very soon, may join her. I really did love that experience so much and now it feels like I am firmly back to earth. Discovering that cacao isn't so good for me on a regular basis, I only benefit from it if taken recreationally, as it were. Also realising, keeping hydrated is just about the most important thing, whenever I go a day without my green juice, I really feel the effects!

Sauerkraut is where its at for me right now, can't get enough of my homemade kimchee. Craving the stuff!! Noticed that I have gained a fair bit of weight since breaking my feast, despite eating mainly romaine lettuce! How is that possible? Still loving me, loving my curves and and loving me - I feel great!

Love

Sounds like a great restaurant is about to open up and some people are "behind the times". That's what you should tell them. Get with the mainstream... RAW FOODS ARE THE WAY TO GO! Nice blog poppy!

Thanks for your comment Leah. Congrats on your Juice Feast!Maybe you can pay us a visit if ever you come to London at the end of your feast!!

I think that the current times are all about openness and letting people 'find' raw foods in their own time or whatever lifestyle feels right for them, just as we did.

No need to convince anyone with words, lets just be the change and the change will follow if necessary. Its all about intuitive evolution, but I don't necessarily believe there is a set direction.

There are a lot of peeps who are miles ahead of me in many ways, who are not raw. I do not think that raw is the only "way", it just so happens to work miracles for me, you and our raw community.

Perhaps I stress this point for the understanding that I come to see that I do not possess 'truth' or answers, not even for myself - just toying with the tools that allows me to fulfill my true potential and what feels is working right now for me. Just playing with the many waves that life throws at me, and open to the freedom of there not being any right or wrong way.

I know its a pretty earnest response for what was a tongue in cheek and supportive comment but tell me what you think Leah?

Lots of love to you!

Love your thoughts Poppy and I'm vibrating on the same frequency too......
If we learn to simply function from the truth of our own beings, then so often, it impacts others to function from their truth too and there is not One truth, but a myriad of waves and all we can do is play.....then it becomes a dance of mutual sharing, learning and enrichment.....and loads of fun too :-)
You put it all very beautifully.....I love the words - intuitive evolution, thanks.....

Neeta,

I love how you listen to my thoughts then take them even further by the very virtue of your understanding, intuition and gift with words. You just always seems to get it, and I love that!

And you seem to be leading perfectly by example and love right now and I truly hope to emulate that too! I hope you are feeling better, my love...
With affection,
xxP

Wow, I'm so disappointed at the 'conflict' as you described it. And how can they only have you and one other raw foodie working there? Let's not even get into the whole offering you sandwiches and coffee for lunch *rolls eyes*
Having said that, as soon as I complete my juicefeast YummyHubby is taking me there for a lovely dinner out. I'll let you know before we come, so I can make sure I get you as my waitress :)

Lovely Loulou, I won't be there as I just this minute got sacked by the resraurant fot this blog post. No hard feelings, though! The food is delish and I think it will be a lovely post-feast ceebration. Lots of Love, Poppy x
