Living Foods, Religion, and/or Spirituality

[Guest guest]

No matter what anyone of our spiritual beliefs are (or

the none presence of them) we all have ONE BEAUTIFUL

major thing in common - RAW FOOD and the love of it.

 

It affects each of our lives in some profound way

whether it is just physical, mental, emotional or

spiritual.

 

I intended to share what I learned and the connection

I saw, while still respecting what others believe and

I still hold fast to that.

 

I am enjoying this forum very much and all you

beautiful people in it.

 

Keep up the good work....
