Hi Meta,

Life can be confusing hey. I find it odd and a little lacking in compassion that people will say that how we react is our business but then often they are the ones who act in a passive aggressive, outright aggressive manner or who get upset and lash out when something unexpected comes their way. Quite often these are the people who take no responsibility for their own words. Once they feel like they have achieved this step they seem to forget what it was like when that level of consciousness was not yet reached.

Not all the time but quite often. It's as if they have been given a license to be nasty because it's not their fault if the other person feels upset or hurt.

It's a fine line between being a pleaser and being a compassionate person who treats others with respect and can stand their ground in a loving way.

It sounds like they are ganging up on you. Which is sad. With my family, when they expressed concern, I asked for two years. 'Mum please don't worry, just let me give this two years. If I am a medical wreck in two years, I'll go back, if I'm well, say nothing more'. Talk to the one who is most diplomatic and who the rest of the family listens to and let them know that you need to do this but the reactions of others bring you to tears. That you understand their worry.

Putting a time frame on it will give them time to get used to it. At the end of the two years they will see you are healthy and looking better than ever. See that you are more at peace or, like me, not as feisty as you used to be!

It does get better. Truly. My mother has dropped all of her comments about my silly diet. I didn't even need to start picking on her silly diet to get her to do that!

Hugs... it's not easy, but it's worth it.

xoxoxoxo

stay true to yourself,you will find the right words love.....

dont be perturbed by others looking at you oddly ...say you are choosing a healthy way to eat,for you.....it makes you feel good....??

be excited about what you are doing,and it will soon rub off,and if it doesnt,thats when you shrug and say you win some you lose some..this doesnt mean you lose your love and compassion for others...its a choice that you make for yourself,and others will need to show you love and compassion too of not....if they truly care for you,they will accept you and your choices....

enjoy babe...its fun and exciting!

impromptu fasting...sometimes the best way to go.....enjoy this new part of your exciting journey

Hi Geo, i've just read all about that and it sounds amazing!  Will definately have to do that.  At the moment I have a bath salt from Perfect Potion which is lovely as well, but no shiny eyes after that one!  Just a quick question, the select botanicals you seem to have to be a registered specialist to order, which I'm not, or am I looking on the incorrect site?

Thanks

*moan* *groan* *whimper* oh, the detox today is bad bad bad....  which means its sooooo good for me, but still, I feel horrid   

Got up,
Drank 1 litre of water
Did T5T (the first time I've gotten through all 21 reps)
Body brushed & showered
Ate 1/4 rocky
Have snacked the rest of the day on about 1kg of plums & had another 1 litre of water trying to chase the headache away.  I'm going for a run & swim tonight so that should hopefully get all the achy joints on the go... 

Ah well, the day has been productive, I've made a beautiful functional new webpage for my work that I'm really excited about!  So yay me!   

On the up side I've booked into a Jazz class on wednesday nights, should be great fun so I have to look forward to!

Keep smiling beautiful people!!!!!!!! 

ahh embrace the detoxing,its a wonderful thing..and exercise is great to help speed it through,if you can handle it

well done babe
