I think also that we know we should love ourselves so say we do in part but really we dont or at least not enough.

Hi all I might jump in here and add my 2 cents if thats ok

Nothing saddens me more than hearing others not loving themselves. You know why well I fell victim to this and also my mother too.

If she loved herself she would be alive today or at least lived longer than she did. I have no doubt about it.

Berry I love you so much. I say this from love that what you said about loving others and having your focus on them shows you love yourself is crap. My mum did this and now she is gone to a better place but has left me and my sister with a lifetime of pain not having her hear with us. Whats going to happen when your kids grow up and have left home and and maybe in your old age Andrew has gone before you.
Are you just going to be empty because there is no one at home to love on an every day basis so you wont feel can love yourself.

This might seem harsh but its really because I have lived what your saying and seen many not just my mother do this and feel any emptiness inside.

Its like we protect ourselves whats really going inside when we focus all  our love on others.

I always say we need to love ourselves first to really love others. Otherwise its a big mask we show the world and ourselves to show everything is ok.

I dont just say this to Berry but if you can not look in the mirror and say 'I love you' to yourself. I would suggest taking some time out from your day maybe somewhere where you can relax and really just be with yourself and write down on a nice piece of paper the answers to these questions.

-What could I love myself for if I really wanted too?
-What are my gifts that God (or who you believe spiritually)has given me, to give to myself and others?
-What can I do or give to myself regularly so I can give to others healthfully?

Then maybe read this from time to time and add to it when you have something to add.

Hopefully you will be able to look into that mirror and say 'I love you' with a great big smile.

Love Sacha

Ps I thank you Berry for sharing what you said in your post. By sharing how you feel we can help others. I love Berry. Sending you a great big hug and everyone else too.

PPs I might of completely missed the point and be wrong. If so I do apologise.

One big one.

Cooling breeze on a hot summer's day or

hot fire on cold winter's night

Thank you ladies for your support:)

Eve I love dancing to anything but what I love dancing to the most is Hip hop, club dance music and some pop. I also love teaching dance to women to help bring out more of there feminine energy into there lives.

Eve get her to teach you so you can teach me when you come to the coast.

Look forward to one day having a dance off with you metamorphosis. That will be fun. Maybe we can go to next years audition together

I need help from you other bike riders out there. Looking at you Neet, Freelea and Eve and anyone else.
I went for my first ride in years yesturday and now I remember why cycling hasn't always agreed with me as some. My challenge is my back side. Its umm kinder in pain. Thought I would see if I can find better seat to park my back side on this weekend. Any suggestions, will it get better?

Why am I getting bloated from my green smoothies lately? I have 2litres every morning to lunch.

Love Sachman!

Hello all

Thank you Sanghama, RawGreenGoddess and rawgosia!

Berry my gorgeous sis. I miss you too! Love you

Sorry did get round to posting my SoYouThinkYouCanDance experience. I didnt make it past the second round, but I got what I wanted and that was an experience of trytry again and to push my self under extreme pressure. I had more fun this year.

I felt joyous even as I spoke to the cameras after my audition.

All the judges were encouraging. Particularly the female judge and said she would love me to come back next year.

The judges were completely right not to put me through to the third round. I did not dance well on the day and my song choice did not capture my strengths as a dancer or my genre of dancing I am best at.

I had fun in the end and it will be something to tell my kids one day when I  have them

On a personal level the winter just past has not been a good one for my health or my fitness. I have been sick alot and have put on too many kg's. So I am focusing my energy on both. I even bought a bike recently to help me on the journey.

Love Sach!

I would like to know of or from people that are 811 and do not train like an athlete.

Those of us that have been on the forum for some time now have all heard from forum members that follow the 811 diet with passion that train like athletes which is great but what about those that are not training like athletes and are healthy and fit or maybe just healthy.

To those 811er's that are not athletes I would like to know-

Were you raw before trying 811? if so what difference in results did you notice?

Sach!

Just a quick one post this time round:)

On Saturday I auditioned for So You Think You Can Dance again for the up coming show next year last Saturday.

Well I made it though again to the second round

I have my next audition tomorrow. I am not expecting much as I haven't even praticed for my song I am doing after going to a funeral today.

Even though I am doing it just for fun and to maybe take away some life lessons for my kids one day when I have them, I am still extremely scared

Sometimes we need to face fear head on.

Will post how I go hopefully tomorrow. It will be a big 12hr day possibly.

Love Sachman

Sorry Sanghama I did get back to you about ur question in time.

Berry The Sachman hasn't gone no where. I have popped my head in from time to time but the last month has been special for me so my attention has gone other places.

Berry your such a sweetie for thinking of me. I love you so much.

The Sachman is preparing mentally for a post I will make soon under a new thread. I will be pouring my whole heart into it. It will be under Personal growth and Manifestation. So keep an eye out for it:)

Love Sach!:)
