Moving to the States

I finally made it to California. What an adventure. I've been unable to post anything until now.

First the packing company couldn't pack until after we left. They still haven't sent us our things. We finally got the bill last week and made the payment via wire transfer. We haven't heard a thing about them sending our stuff. They don't answer my emails. All I can do is pray it gets to us.

I am homeless and carless right now. I'm living with a relative and hope this is temporary. My husband has 3 applications in at different churches. Did I mention that he's an Episcopal Priest? Well, we're hoping that one of the three will hire him to be rector so we can have an income and get our own home or apartment.

Raw food wise, I am enjoying the many greens here. I'm loving the oranges yet missing my papayas and pineapples. That's OK. Once my husband becomes a rector, we'll be able to buy those. In the meantime, I just got a copy of "Heal Yourself 101" by Markus Rothkranz. I love his stuff. I found him while watching some youtube raw food videos. I think I posted one below. Anyway, I plan on following his plan for a couple of months to see how it goes. I'm really excited about it.

The problem I have right now is cheating. Yes, I cheat. I am not 100% raw. I am more in the 75% raw group most of the time. He says, right off, stop cheating! So, that's going to be a challenge especially when we go to restaurants. That's where I do my most cheating. I let it slide that there's corn chips in my salad or some other cooked item. And I love samosas and falafels. That will be a challenge when I go to the Farmer's Market. Only in San Jose, CA would the farmer's market sell not just fruit and veggies, but lots of cooked food. Oh well. I will do my best and keep you all updated on how it goes.

Have a wonderful day! Let you life begin with joy and compassion right now.
