Hi May, Thanks so much. You know reading this post I realised that I'd forgotten my temp. Hmmm. You'll see why that's interesting in a mo!
Speeds, thanks so much. You are always so supportive both here and behind the scene's and I really love and appreciate the effort you put in with me and my family also.
Peta it was my pleasure! My raw pleasure even!
I'm really looking forward to coming to see your shop one day soon...
Somers you are a sweetie! Your gentle nature is apparent when meeting you. I felt very grateful for your calm in the middle of all the energy. Thanks so much...
I had the best time ever in Sydney! On Thursday I leapt off the plane with enthusiasm oozing from all of my pores! I was so exited to be there. Hopped in the cab with a very funny taxi driver and made my way to the Princess. We hit it off immediately and it was like I'd known her all my life. She is very private and so I won't go into detail about her place except to tell you that it's divine and she is a brilliant hostess. Thanks for having me Princess.
From Peeb's house (I call her Princess or Peebs) I made my way to MBS and then to 'THE STALL'! I had planned meeting Neet's and Harl's in my mind already and was sooooooooooo nervous exited! I snuck up on the stall like a cat with a mouse and leapt at it yelling "yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" with the biggest grin on my face... much to the amusement of other stall holders because no-one was in there! Hehehehe. Anyhow Piers rocked up soon after and we went to the blessing (They have a blessing each day before opening) and when we got back Harl's and Neet's were both there.
Neet's and I get along just as well face to face as we do online. Just like the Princess and I and it was wonderful. I felt like I was with family. I think that this is a great sign of personal honesty. I have heard many many stories of people meeting others online and getting along really really well and disliking each other face to face. The openess of personality and opinion shines through here and I have more faith in humankind with each and every forum member that I've met. I also got to meet Harley and we got along well also. He is a lot softer than he appears in his posts and I really enjoyed his company.
The day went so well. It was awesome... talking about raw food all day. Just lovely. It's great to talk about your passion and see others do the same. I felt very confident being able to answer questions and present myself as a rawbie (even though I fall off the wagon often and sometimes gleefully!) and I truly think that outside of family things such as kids being born and getting married, that Friday was probably one of the best days of my life. I just had an awesome time.
On Saturday I had an allergic reaction to something and got sick. I had to keep leaving the exhibition to sit in the sun due to nausea and very acidic pain in my solar plexus area. I was foggy and dizzy and a bit upset because the eft wouldn't clear it. I just couldn't focus on the problem enough to find the words to clear it. I met loads of people and felt silly because I just couldn't focus on conversation. I met Fruity (who is just a lovely lovely person) Somers (compliments above!)Grant and many many more. I was really exited to be meeting everyone and felt like an idiot but everyone was very understanding. I ended up going to the airport just on two hours shy of my flight and met a lady in the airport who was really nice. I chatted to her for ages and we ended up flying together which was awesome. It took the focus off myself and my poor aching tummy.
On Saturday evening just before I left I managed a quiet chat with Grant and Harls and I think that I feel safe to not eat meat again now. For those of you who are new to the forum and don't want to read the never ending journal that this is, I was vegetarian for a long time and got very sick. I ate too much cooked food! Hardly any raw. Anyhow, I went back to eating meat and what do you know? I got healthy again. I guess that I've just had the subconscious belief that 'it's me or them and I choose me' which is selfish but what I needed to do and while I liked what I was eating I definitely didn't feel great about it. Meeting not just Grant and Harl's but all the other raw vegans and vegetarians has shown me that it can be done and done well. So I'm saying right here, right now that I won't eat meat again. Cheese I can't promise you yet, one step at a time but meat is gone. Thanks everyone.
Today I was at a seminar all day and I'm so tired. One more day and I'm having a day of rest. I'm sick again tonight. After reading May's post and remembering that I had that temperature I'm wondering if it's something bigger. I've had some serious toilet issues tonight that I won't bother you with and so maybe I'm at a deeper level of cleansing. I feel the need to do a fast. Hmmmm. Tuesday start I think!
Anyhow, sorry there isn't more detail there but oh boy am I tired! And still feel so ill. Lemons... all of a sudden I'm craving lemon squeezed in water. Mmmmm.
Goodnight all and thanks for dropping by.
