Hi Mo3...it's good to find people in similar situations so we can support each other. Yeah, it gets frustrating at times..like when I've cooked them some meat dish (even though they appreciate what i do for them...i hate the smell of meat cooking) and then i still have to clean the dishes when they've finished..I've just had my brother staying with us for a few weeks as well and he is the typical junk food/cola/ sausage eater so when i made that post I was in a bit of a dark overwhelming place with it all. This weekend has been a bit of a turning point and I'm starting to realise that if I just do my raw thing but do it with outgoing love it begins to rub off a bit. For example, there was a guy selling trays of 24 mangoes for $10 on the side of the road near our place on Friday so i bought a box and and was just so excited by it and slurping them down whenever i got the urge that pretty soon hubby & my little bro' and the boys were all doing the same. I had to buy 2 more boxes again today. last week i also dehydrated some banana & coconut bars and some apple & cinnamon ones and just got really enthusiastic about the whole process and the boys got into the vibe as well...always wanting to see if they were ready yet etc...Anyway I think we made about 20 of each and they were ready on Friday morning and all gone yesterday afternoon. My hubby even told his sister rather proudly today that he'd eaten about 80% raw yesterday.

So we have good days and we have not so good days but I keep pluggin away and just have to keep being the change within myself and realise that even in the same family we are all on different journeys.
Its ironic...tonight i was about to make them  home-made pizzas when we discovered that the element in our oven had blown. I told them it was a sign  . so we all sat down to a nice dinner of mangoes with chocolate mousse (coconut and cacao) for dessert.

hey Lotus, just pm'ed you
