I can only describe it as some sort of transformative experience. Understanding how to get there, and following that path is very powerful. i feel a connection already that i didn't feel with the universe. Striving to live in peace in a world of packaged meat and eggs for breakfast. My desire for these foods is gone, i can't remember why it was there to begin with. i see myself already changed by this decision. i feel lighter, i feel free from it, as though some long feeling of sorrrow has been lifted. Is it true? Have i found a way to escape that dark sadness that always existed within me. Could it truly be from consuming fear, death, cruelty.. how could i have not known? Part of the problem, supporting the suffering of other beings. How will i deal with the non support of others? I've already experienced it from my parents. My mother and father looking at me as if i was insane for buying a 500.00 juicer/ An investment in one's health is never wasted. I am learning about myself in a way that i never was able before. i cannot allow others to sway me from my commitment, from my vow to become younger, healthier from the right food choices. i don't want to be old, i don't want to look in the mirror in twenty years and not love what i see. i want to celebrate beauty for all it is. I look to images of the Goddess to live by. Feminine, beautiful, seductive, sweet. i want to be loved for what i can offer the world, and live in a way that is beautiful. i want to be part of the movement that supports life and humanity. i know where i must begin in this, i've known it when i discovered it months back. i am ready now to devote myself to a higher way of existing, i am ready to face challenges, i am ready to suppress cravings for foods that will keep me overweight and unhealthy, :sighs: i feel so light. so happy, so changed. Amazingly, through this realization i have found my calling in life. I am drawn to the medical field for the demand and money, however nursing has always seemed dreadful to me, though i've felt pressured to go in that path. Radiology has crossed my mind, however nutrition is very appealing to me. i would love to study nutrition and work as a vegetarian nutritionist,. So anyway, yes i am totally there, i have finally figured it out. Now, i have to take the steps to get there, which means a trip to the local community college. i am very excited! I have to also focus on getting another job, as my current job is not paying me enough. Another goal to work towards. The Raw Foods vegan movement has taken me, and i am going to teach myself to prepare raw food meals with my excaliber dehydrator when it arrives. It's truly amazing the versatile nature of this way of living, of eating. Heat destroys valuable nutrients, enzymes that our bodies need to digest food, however by dehydrating food your able to control the temperature and thus avoid destroying what your body needs to digest foods properly, Very very cool,. so anyway, this is my focus, my path in life right now. :smiles: along with some other interesting twists.
