Great post Harley!

Brett - I love your post! It's beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing with us all here, and your generosity in volunteering to do the videos! We'll talk more about that in the next week or so and see where we can take it!

Cheers,

Interesting post Brett, I would love to be able to play a musical instrument one of the few items left on my Wish list that I made on one of my major birthdays, I've achieved all but three, I digest sorry.
I've found over the years, who we associate with can have a bearing on our personality, I love to be with outgoing, humerous - witty folk, this leads me to be far more outspoken than normal, on the flip side I also need some personal solitude.
One thing I nowadays erase is negativity yeeks that gets me down...

A thought has just popped into my head kind Sheryl I thought you had dark hair?

i am loving this thread...and relate and love everyone posts...

sheryl your pic is adorable...

i liked how brett said that our personality as a child is our personality now...

well i really do believe that for me-as i child i was so engaging and outgoing and a bit of a show off...i digressed (sp?) away from that the more ill i became as i grew into adulthood...i was shy and nervous and anxious around people,i could hardly breathe if i was in a group gathering...just walking down the street BY MYSELF,i would stress out and shake,it was so awful...and now my body is healed/healing,i have such confidence and i feel self assured...i love engaging in deep conversation and getting down to the deep inner spiritual being of whoever i am speaking with...i can hang in the kitchen i can sparkle in a crowd....i love laughter and meeting like minded ppl(raw...

then on the other hand,i love to spend time by myself,away from everyone,no talking no socialising....so i guess it's just finding that balance...
at times i still have to overcome the 'old' shyness...but all in all feel so much more comfortable talking to anyone anytime...it's fun engaging strangers in the street...i past 2 adorable teenage girls on the street friday night...they just gave me a look-as can often happen...so i walked up to them and told them how gorgeous they looked in their matching shorts ect outfits,well they just come alive and one was giggling so much she could barely stand still...it is a blast saying and doing the unexpected...and i always speak the truth...if there isn't anything nice to say...don't say it, is my motto...

i was eagerly chewing down a gs at work yesterday-the air con wasn't working so it was like a 'sweat shop'...a lady walked in and said i hope that's all legal in your thermos...i laughed and said yea fruits and greens...she said the look of eagerness and bliss on your face when you were opening your thermos...i had to wonder...had never met this lady before...and suddenly she's asking me for green smoothie recipes...which i was happy to oblige with  :rolleyes:and she's telling me she's off dairy salt sugar bread ect...so we struck up a convo...now if i was that shy anxious girl i use to be,that would've never happened,i would've fled out've the room shallow breathing...
she said,she wanted the energy i had,while everyone was fading around me in the stuffy,dept store...i was coping well,apart from hot feet in closed in shoes...

i will be happy to be socialising with my raw gals in the kitchen...we can have sparkling fun there too...and then i can see you all slowly sneaking out to the main raw party...twinkling and sparkling your special blend of pixie dust...popping raw chocolates into peoples pockets...lightly lightly flitting around...blossoming into the raw beauties that you all are...

cee-negativity is a bummer for sure...it is so much more fun and uplifting to be around positive souls...
hey i play piano and the flute...but haven't done for a long time...when i use to play flute,one of my cats would climb right up onto my lap(if i was sitting) and stare at me in the face sooo close,and then she would be so happy that she would start salivating..drooling everywhere with her mouth agape....hilarious i would be in fits of laughter and wouldn't be able to play...

hey miss bliss plays the didgeridoo....clever girl i hear???/tell us more glorious bliss...

Cee - I have one of those lists too.  How cool that you only have ONE to go.  I have a few.  But, I am crossing one off next Saturday when I go on my girl's own surfing safari!  

I blew the chance twice to learn to surf in Byron - at one time, substituting for trapeze lessons.  That was interesting.  Didn't really know that I had a sheer terror of heights until that moment.  Still, I went up every bloomin' time and just stood on the little platform and shook.

One of the instructors who must have just finished reading 'how to win friends and influence people' said "I thought only horses sweated that much!"  

So, next week, I'm doing a day's surfing lessons.  I can't wait.  Don't care if I'm crap, or spend more time falling off my board than on it, I just want to do it.  Hopefully I can get one wee shot of me on my feet, on a board, on a little wave.... new avatar here I come.

Neet - I love serendipitous moments with strangers.  I had one yesterday while I was sniffing peaches to buy.  A lovely lady joined me and started sniffing too.  I commented that it was nice to see a fellow peach sniffer!  

I then started chatting about how GREAT peaches have been this summer, and she lit up, and wholeheartedly agreed.  Then she shared her fave summer drink with me.  She peels the peaches, and saves the skins and the stones and she boils them up with lots of water.  Cools it, pops it into the fridge and she merrily drinks it.  A nice peachy moment for both of us.

Speaking of peaches - has anyone ever seen donut peaches.  Too weird.  They are like pin cushions.  They give me the heebie jeebies.  They can't be natural can they?

Miss g

I got some of those flat peaches at the market a couple of weeks ago. They tasted just like delicious white peaches. Well they would wouldn't they? Can't think of their name. I will ask the Greg next Saturday.
