Clearing out some emails, I came across a reply I sent someone who had some questions about my raw food experience. Thought I would post my reply here ( Read more... )

The end of week three is here. I have meant to post MUCH more frequently, but , well, it just hasn't happened. So, how is it going? FABULOUS ( Read more... )

It has been much MUCH easier to stay raw than I thought it would be. Actually, that is not quite true - I knew I was ready, that it was the right time, so part of me knew it might not be so hard. But most accounts that I have read say that the "transition" is difficult, adjusting can take time and cravings are common, so I was - and still am - ( Read more... )

I decided to go raw for 30 days. I made that decision just before Rosh Hashanah (on Monday September 29th to be precise) and decided to officially start the Monday following (to give me time to prepare over the weekend). Now, I am not Jewish, but I have always felt the New Year, fresh start, introspective vibe VERY strongly in the fall. And that ( Read more... )

Having the right environment set up to do [desired task] is really vital for me. The right set up has several elements: 1) It makes it easy to do the task at hand (e.g., all the items required to mail a letter are available, from paper to stamps) 2) It is in a good location that you visit frequently (or that you *can* easily visit - though for me ( Read more... )

I am so happy when I am dancing. F asked me the other day if, given my choice, would I spend my whole day dancing, like a summer camp for dance. I did not hesitate at all in replying yes. It makes me a bit wistful. I don't have many regrets with the choices I've made in life, but stopping dancing and giving up on that dream as a possible reality is ( Read more... )

Roula has this saying "don't be afraid to break the eggs!" which she is fond of telling me during rehearsal (or the shorter "break the eggs!"). While I am pretty decent with moving my hips, shaking my shoulders/boobies is not my strong point. Thus the encouragement to break the eggs. :-) So last night I had some wine during rehearsal - not too much ( Read more... )

Actually, my week is very easily sorted, dance days and non-dance days. It makes scheduling things relatively easy. Well, sort of - time-wise things are very tight, but even without looking at my calendar, my choices are pretty clear: Monday, Wednesday and Friday are always out (dance nights). Friday night I stay over in the Bronx, so Saturday ( Read more... )

If you've been missing me (or not) lately, it's because I have been in a rather reclusive mood of late. Well, not counting the multitude of dance classes thrice weekly. August however hopefully will see me emerge from the chrysalis into a more social butterfly mindset ( Read more... )
