Hi. :
So I stayed raw all day and felt very good. Just woke up. I had a possibility for a new gig come up yesterday. Not exactly sure what the circumstances & possibilities are so I sent my energy and then I let go. We'll see. It's in the hands of the Universe now. I am taking all the steps necessary as well. I also caught up on all my music homework yesterday. There was A LOT of it. I would like to stay on top of it so everything will be done when my Mom comes on Sunday. I also have to go to the immigration office on Thursday to extend my visa here so it is a full week. I changed my furniture and some stuff around in the apartment after hearing one of Revvell's podcasts with a Feng Shui expert. Feels much better actually. Let's see what happens...

I am so happy & grateful for the new gig opportunity that came up.

Had a good day. Stayed raw. Am DEFINITELY eating too much fat, but when I am raw I feel like I need it and don't know if ti would be better to add some cooked brown rice or something to help satiate me without the tons of fat. It's just too much!

Ok. So I realize I am PMSing. This may have something to do with it, but I KNOW I have gained some weight and that is NOT cool. I am going to give it a go today with PROPER proportions and see what happens.

I startd considering the possibility of moving to Vegas as well when I'm done here. I think it could be a cool place to e based w/ my kitties and be raw.

Yeah, right? Vegas FEELS good energetically to me too. The idea of the desert & the mountains and all the shows... I REALLY like it! Plus there are some raw food restaurants and Bikram Yoga. The idea really appeals to me- so I downloaded some Vegas podcasts to see what the vibe is. I also called my ex & her Mom who just moved to Vegas and are great friends & they said to just come over & stay with them for a bit and see how I like it & what I think.

I think when I'm done here, I will! It's also so close to LA and not far from SF & Napa. I really like the idea!

I stayed raw. MUCH better on the proportions today. Gained a couple lbs but not too much so am not worried. It'll come right back off now.

I've had a very good raw day today. I actually tried raw corn for the first time. It was the most amazing thing ever! My nutrient proportions are much healthier and I feel much better. I've worked out every single day for a minimum of 1 hr. I am recording my gig tonight for a new demo video. I'm a bit nervous about it. I am putting it out there that it will turn out WONDERFULLY and I'm letting go & relaxing.

Last night as I was singing there was this one moment where I just felt the most amazing sense of gratitude for the audience & relaxation come over me. It was amazing. I'm really focused on putting people first and learning to really be myself & kind no matter what circumstances surround me.

I am so happy & grateful for the audiences that come in every night.
I am so happy & grateful for my intuitive ideas that have been coming to me.
I am so happy & grateful for the gym I am able to use.

I am on my 7th day of 100% raw right now. After being 90= 100% for 4 months, I do notice some subtle differences. I plan to go for 30 days and take it from there.

I found, from the beginning when I went high raw that I can't medicate or numb myself with raw foods. If I start feeling anxious or unsafe, I'll want some green tea to stimulate me rather than being with my feelings and acting from a place of powerful truth. Our own boundless power to create and to be can be very scary to the ego. I find a part of me almost wants the boundaries and limits. Our limits are so self - created. It's so clear to me when I eat this way.

I am so happy & grateful for a new day.
I am so happy & grateful for the video we shot last night!
I am so happy & grateful for my agent here & his amazing staff.
I am so happy & grateful for the new opportunities and possibilities coming up in my life!

I am so happy & grateful for my Mom's upcoming visit to Tokyo!

I did really great yesterday until 1 am. My dude came in from Moscow and we went to
a restaurant I love and I had some brown rice and lightly steamed veggies. Then, my cycle came this morning. No surprise there. Not going to beat myself up about it. My Mom arrives tomorrow. This was not the best time to take this on- but when is it? I'm just going to get right back up and keep doing it. One slip-up does not a failure make. Not hungry this morning. I may fast for a large part of the day today.

Last night, the gig went great! My musicians & I are are developing nicer & nicer chemistry and it makes the gig get better & better. I have lots of homework to finish before my Mom gets here tomorrow. Wok up WAY too early- I think b/c my cycle was saying hello. Maybe I can take a nap later. I also have a lot of editing to do. We'll see...

I am so happy & grateful for a new day.
I am so happy & grateful for all these wonderful visits.
I am so happy & grateful for my writing & ear training class.
I am so happy & grateful for friendships.
I am so happy & grateful for my Mom.

Hi ladies. Well, I ate about 50% cooked yesterday. I realize that my commitment was feeling a bit shaky but now I feel renewed and no having to push or anything. I just feel committed. That's all. So I'm going to give it a go now and get on all raw. I have no stress or anticipation about it. It just is what I'm gonna do now.

My Mom's flight was a nightmare and she's stuck in NYC for the night and will be here tomorrow afternoon so I won't be able to pick her up at the airport b/c I can't be late for work and that really f$#%&*@ sucks. But she'll make it here on the bus and I gave her the instructions. I just don't want her to stress about it either especially after such a long flight and ordeal and I know how much it means to her that she is coming to Japan to be with me.
That'll give me time to clean the apartment more and do some more homework and spend some more time w/ my dude.

Gonna have a nice lazy Sunday with him . YEY!

Yes, I did notice that I started calling him my dude. It's interesting. He's taken some big steps. We haven't officially said we are back together, but maybe it was implied. I don't know and I am ok with it being exactly as it is. I had an awesome time this weekend with him and I kept my center.

I don't know. Something happened for me this weekend and I'm not even exactly sure what. I just feel different. Centered, released and present.Don't know how else to describe it and not exactly sure what brought it on. Unusual yet empowering.

Hi ladies. SO I've decided to stay high raw - 100% but with no pressure to be exclusively 100% while my Mom is here. My schedule is insane and I'd rather focus on being as healthy as possible- which means to me raw but with flexibility. In 2 wks I will re-visit the idea of trying exclusively 100%.

I will still e doing the meditation, working out, writing and vocalizing but with the flexibiltiy to be 90% raw and up.
