What a difference a personality type can make! (Not making assumptions here, Bob, just noticing the half-full-half-empty idea coming into play!) I could totally identify with Kay's email, and your email, Bob, is my goal! My inner Eeyore is often to the forefront, and I need to give my inner Tigger a little more play time....hope this makes some sense.... > > Peace, > Valerie Bob - Bob!!!! Kay here; Compelled to dash back and tell you... This was EVERYTHING I needed to hear. The Universe loves me - YOU have blessed my evening! THANK BOBO!!!!! Valerie's words above hit home also. Before Laurie got me hooked up with this group I had one thread of hope left with myself. I trained at Ann Wigmore's center in Puerto Rico and everything went 'down hill' from there. I don't blame that of course - it is the way my mind has twisted everything around to sabotage me. I have been so ill, so thin and flakey on raw in the past; Gaining no peace or happiness even when I moved to the U.S to work in the movement. Elchanan pointed out recently that food alone will not bring joy in anycase of course. Well, I know this but it seemed best to move on and allow yeast issues to die down into proper propotion, and asist my body by keeping things simple with diet. During these last few days I have felt ice cold and like I have eaten an orchard in my belly! In search of some enthusiastic optimism through the postings all I could " hear " was people spouting off problems with this food or that. In truth your message completes my theory - ALL illness begins in the mind. Thankyou Bob for showing us the light of joy! Thankyou for your personality and being YOU. xx Namaste Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your words are very kind, far too kind, and I am humbled by them. I've always enjoyed tears of joy: thank you! I wasn't sure how the post might be received, and it was *intended* to assist, from a " real " place, which was, and is, where I am. Bobo and I sure enjoyed our lunch of bananas, dates, pear and celery. simple and seems to work for me. (I'd recently read some other posts somewhere else about tooth decay, and dental caries, etc..etc. on a raw, high-fruit diet, and one of the suggestions was to chew some celery afterwards...Bobo liked the idea too!, although he'd much rather have bananas. lol! so we did... Also had two great experiences this weekend, with that couple I'd mentioned in an earlier post, with one, the wife, commenting on how " skinny, and great " I looked...and said " ...that she'd known me in my 20s, and didn't think I was this skinny then (her memory is obviously failing!! lol!) and her husband, one of my best friends, commenting on the " ..results.. " and wanting to know more about what I was doing. And then had what I term a " breakthrough " this morning with our 2nd child (we have 4), who is now almost 24, calling me to ask me more about what to eat and why...what causes what, etc..etc...and he even called me back to tell me that he had picked up some bananas for lunch (instead of his usual SAD meat-cheese-condiments-on-a-bun-lunch...), didn't think they'd be enough for him, and read me one of the labels from the bananas, saying that " ...eating more fruits and vegetables may lead to less risk of cardiovascualr disease, heart attacks...etc...etc.. " he was impressed. At least it's a place, a foundation, from where he and I can begin a dialogue, and I may be able to " pay it forward " through him. great day to all! all the best, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
