Rabbit Food


Peace

A few days ago I did something I hadn't done in a long time.... I ate a big salad.

I have been walking someone through the vegetarian transition. When you teach someone anything, you tend to do so from the perspective of how you were taught. You emphasize what you liked and de-emphasize what you didn't. When I became a vegetarian, a decade ago, things were very different from the way they are now. It was mad cheap. Tofu was something you had to go to an authentic Chinese food restaurant to get. Then you could only get it steamed and looking at you as a white block. There was no internet loaded with ideas and I didn't personally know other practicing vegetarians. My mother is a raging pork-atarian. I have been focusing on all the variety and flavor that a vegetarian diet offers. A salad is like... white bread. You know it's there. Its an old standby.

I loved it! The lettuce, the tomatoes, the dressing all the additives.... Mmmm.... I missed it. I had been eating salads during May for my cleanse. and I was having great success. But since stopping the fast I kind of stopped doing all the good things I had been doing. And feeling shitty in the process. If y'all are longtime readers, you know that it hurt me to get on board. I truly believe if I had kept it up for a whole season, I would have seen some remarkable results. Maybe next year.

The 8-14 degrees in the 1:36 talks about the transition from the devil's mindset to the Original mindset. Literally, it is because we don't eat right. Dr. Oz on the Tom Joyner show this morning was saying that food now a days haves built in obesity-causers. Pesticides that are not properly removed will cause the eater to retain weight. I have personally experienced some food related issues. I believe (because I'm not only about 80% sure) being a vegetarian makes me more sensitive to changes within. I have had savage thoughts and reactions when I am eating more of a processed diet. I mean REAL savage. When this happens, and I recognize it, I move to eating more raw fruits and vegetables. Then I become a happy peace peace hippy. For real.

So I had this big salad (I couldn't figure out another side dish at the time) and now I am choosing more raw foods. It's like that one step was enough to re-boot me. I have eaten a big salad for 5 days straight. Things are looking good just from that small change. I can tell my body is retaining more iron. I even have some kale that is going in the dehydrator for goddess chips. A former friend of mine makes a SLAMMING kale salad. Its so good I don't want to eat anyone else's... Even my own creation. Since we ain't cool any more I don't even see how I can ask her for the recipe or get some to nigga-rig it. Oh well....

There will be more raw food up in the Peace Kingdom. I might even do a raw food cleanse as a panchakarma since the season is changing. I want that good, clean, energetic feeling that I had at the beginning of June. Maybe it will help with this constant nausea I got going on right now. Me raw, means my body temperature will drop. I'm already cold natured, and I don't need to be any colder as the weather drops.



Peace

Backsliding on Home

All right, all right….. I know I’m prolly setting myself up for failure. Especially since I’m about to go to Show & Prove; and y’all know how it’s done on vacation… But… I think…. I am going to get back on the “raw food” bandwagon. Two reasons. 1st reason: I feel guilty every time I put non-raw food in my mouth. And I try to rationalize it all out by eating a salad with it. Imagine how it all looks, BK (just an example. I don’t do fast food on the reg) veggie burger with cheese and all the fixins, onion rings (cause I only eat McDonald’s fries) a vanilla shake and a side salad. I rationalized that the fixins and the salad are raw and therefore count toward my goal of ‘high raw’. NOT. 2nd reason: And most importantly…. This morning I put on a dress that I couldn’t wear last summer. The dress was so tight I felt like a sausage in it. I almost gave it to Goodwill. But I wanted to wear a sweater today that I rigged last night and this dress was a good fit. I expected to have to wear al...

"I Itch"

I have eczema. I have had it since I was a small child. My mother reports I’ve been spotted since infancy. I remember getting in trouble on purpose just to get the beating that would satisfy the itching for a minute. That weirded my Ole Earth out. I remember one of my godmothers used to slather me with bacon grease. She swore that that would calm the lesions. It did to some degree. But the dog became very friendly afterward. I still have outbreaks. Most of the time it’s a small outbreak. 80% of the time it occurs only on my arms, legs, and back. But it can pop out anywhere. Don’t sleep on adult eczema. It can get really bad, disfiguring and incredibly painful. I put it, mostly, on the weather. I usually have outbreaks in the winter or if I go somewhere and the weather is distinctly colder than my regular climate. I ALWAYS get something in the winter time. Whether it be light patches just where my bra strap rubs against my skin or all over my body. It feels like little need...

Skirting the Issue

I put on a skirt this morning. That’s not impressive. I put on a skirt every morning. I don’t generally where pants outdoors. I pulled this skirt out of the dryer. Guess what? It is loose. Real loose. I am happy dancing. You gotta be mindful of the history of the skirt. This garment began its life as pants about 5 years ago. Back then I was still wearing pants. When I decided to cease my slacks wearing ways and actions, I did not want to incur the expense of having to replace garments that I wore on the regular. It made perfect sense, since I sew, to convert pants to skirts. That’s what I did with the skirt I’m currently wearing. The trick is the skirt will be a pencil skirt if you don’t have material to add. And who does? Also my skirts have to be long. (3/4) So I have these fitted pencil skirts that used to be pants hanging in my closet. They serve the same function that they did when they were pants. Maybe I’ll blog about why I don’t wear pants later. I said all that to...
