What a difference a day makes...

I just re-read my entry from yesterday and I can honestly say that I am feeling so much better today. When I went to bed last night, I gave myself a good talking to and reiterated that I am the only one responsible for my life and what I make of it. I was honest with myself and decided that I needed some sort of a plan to proceed with this fantastic raw lifestyle. I know that I am a powerful woman who can accomplish much if I put my mind to it. I also realize that I need to invest some faith in this process of healing myself and my life. So that led me to begin thinking about how much I underestimate myself and also how much of a perfectionist I am. I have realized that the reason that I like to cook is because it is second nature to me and I am always guaranteed a good result and at least a few compliments from whomever the lucky diners happen to be. I now realize that I could achieve the same thing with raw food prep if I just put a little more practice into it. I mean I am already quite good at it... It took me quite a while to get to be an excellent cook and I already know that it won't take as long to master raw food as most of the principles are similar. It all boils down to the fact that I need to be a little more patient with myself and allow my passion for creating gorgeous raw food to simmer a little longer.

So now I have a declaration to make. I am a raw foodist. I have decided this and now it is so. I am committed to and believe in a raw vegan lifestyle for health and ethical reasons. I love living food and what it does for me as a whole person. In this spirit I move forward on my journey.

So there...
