Raw Food Diva Reports On Her Life

Me and my dogs in a place called bliss

2009-07-13T18:47:00.001-07:00

This is me and my two dogs. We like to relax like this after a hard day of watching TV and eating yummy treats. Oh did I say Treats? My dogs love that word and will bark and dance upon hearing it. When these guys occupy you like this, you fall into a trance. You get very sleepy and you have to get help from others to bring you tea and toast and whatnot.
My dogs are old. My boy dog is 13 and the little one Mama, is 12. But for old geezers they get around just like puppies. In fact people ask me if Mama is a puppy and I have to tell them no she is not a puppy, she is just tiny.
We are happy together in our sofa world. When it is time for them to climb aboard I say to them "who wants sofa time?' and they usually do want sofa time, they want lots of sofa time. Sofa time is good.

This is why I am a Martha Stewart fan and always have been. She shows you how to do take care of your things. She knows it all and if she does not know it she researches it and brings on experts to her show. She also keeps crafts alive. I just really think she is awesome.
I am going to buy the linseed oil and whatnot to clean some of my furniture that has never been taken care of properly. When in doubt check Martha out.

humans unite for dance

Humans: we come together for good or evil. It is entirely our choice.

Freedom and Release indeed!

I have been eating very much chocolate & coffee and find that if I eat enough chocolate I do not get migraines from it. It is tough keeping up with the required dosage so I watch this to help me along.
Oh and yes I do take my canvas bag along......yes I really do.

When I first watched the video of her dancing I thought it was in slow motion, but that is just how amazing she was. I know she will triumph over this and do something great!
Gosh she was so so so amazing!

Lost

On the beach

The short fat one is me. Since this picture was taken I have lost 20 pounds. I still have 10 more pounds to shed.
To lose this weight was very very difficult. There was no exercise involved. It was just a matter of changing the way I eat.
And the tall beauty really is that tall and that beautiful.

Freeze Yer Buns Challenge 2008

2008-12-02T19:33:00.000-08:00

OK kids it is time to freeze yer buns off!
Yes really! Give it a try. Turn down the thermometer.
I wonder if it is cheating to use the fireplace for some supplemental heat or perhaps a hot bath? Hot tea can really warm you up and try some cayenne pepper to get the glow from the inside out.
Menopause can be helpful also. So all you Hot Mama's it's time to get lit!

I miss New Mexico

2008-10-17T12:51:00.000-07:00

The Bean
This is a picture of the famous coffee shop in Taos, New Mexico called: The Bean. There is nothing special about The Bean, the coffee is good not great, but the atmosphere is oh so New Mexico. Some would call this place desolate or barren but I just call it home.
The sky is so blue and so close. The brown is ever so brown. I miss the smell of the pinon and the sage. I miss the dry warm air. I miss the simple life and the simple people.
I have moved to California. I have been for almost 5 months. I was born here but never felt at peace here. There are reasons for my being here that will remain secret. Both from me and from you. For now I just exist.
When the transition is complete I will be still here but in a better place and hopefully, I will call it home. For now I say Adios to New Mexico and Hello to California. May all Gods creatures find peace.

What an Invitation used to look like

2008-08-21T12:58:00.000-07:00

This is a hand drawn invitation to a party that was held in LA in the 1960's.
Oh my, people used to have such fun.
The location was Sunset at La Cienega.

But alas all is not as Groovy as it looks. If you click on the link you will read the bio of the cool babe and see that in the end we all pay the price for excess.
Right about now she would make a good Raw Foodist. Bend and Stretch reach for the stars.

Radical Left :: The Great Credit Card Crash

2008-07-10T15:40:00.000-07:00

This guy has hit the greedy nail on the head.

"Since Ronald Reagan, we have been living in an era in which neither the meltdown of the savings and loan banks in the 1980s nor the Enron-like scandals of the Bush years has stopped the relentless advancement and protection by both parties of the ability of financial institutions to make a buck at any cost to the social good and economic fabric."

Excellent article full of common sense facts about why we are in such a mess. It all comes down to Ethics. You either have them or you don't.

Books For Africa

2008-06-30T09:09:00.000-07:00

This is something I will do. I am going to start saving some books I think will be appropriate for this group and mail them off. They do have a list of types of books they don't accept and romance novels are on it. That is fine by me. Romance novels are toxic.
If you have any books you think you could part with, send them to this group. I know it is hard to get rid of books. I love my books so much they seem human.
