Are there any raw foodists in the Colorado Springs Area? I need the moral support as i am new to this and my friends and family think I am a total whack job! As my one friend put it...I have lost my froot loops!!!! Well Praise The Lord because who needs all that sugar and chemicals in their systems eating froot loops!!!! Anyway...If there is even one in The Springs I would love to hear from you! Marcy

Hello Marcy Lynn! My name is Beth and I live in CSprings with my husband Jasper and our dog Hazelnut. I work @ a natural food store and do massage on the side (a *wee* bit at the moment). I used my yob as an excuse to eat 'healthy cooked vegan food' (ha- cookies, pretzels, energy bars) before my latest 3-day green smoothie cleanse that ended last sunday, and now am excited to have a haven with a vitamix blender to make green smoothies for breakfast when i get in to work early enough! I am thrilled about exploring exponentially-increasing states of being.vibrance with living foods, conscious eating, super-duper-foods, being active, etc...

So what do you do, Miss Marcy Lynn? Are you still living with the folks? I had a hard time when I was still at home~ I felt I needed to 'save' my poor dying parents from the ravages of cooked food. I think I was a little too militant in those days because it didn't last and I ended up flip-flopping with my diet for quite some time after that.

Any way I can help support you please let me know! If your friends & fam are concerned for your well-being and would like something to read to help them understand I know of plenty of resources (the local library system actually has quite a few books on raw foods these days). If you would like to get together and go hiking I would love to do something like that. If you just need someone to type to who you know is nearby if you need her, that's groovy too! Just let me know, chica!

Nice to 'meet' you!

~~Beth
