My week.

I am trying to be more open. Trying to let more people get to know me. I have always been a quiet person, who usually keeps to myself. I like to listen more than talk. I keep everything inside. So it is a challenge for me. But I have been inspired by so many people who have shared their thoughts, lives, wisdom, hopes, writings, pictures, paintings, observations, joys and sorrows, good days, bad days, ideas, views and visions with me.

I think I have beautiful thoughts and a wonderful life. I would like to share more with the world. So I am trying to be open to everyone and everything, even if that means getting hurt at times.

I am saying yes. Yes to life.



After 2 years on a fruit diet, I am still amazed at many things. After getting so used to feeling a certain way, something will come along to remind you of a way you used to feel. I smashed my toe, it was very painful at first; but only two weeks later, it is almost completely healed. (I am not posting a before and after picture, unless anyone wants to throw up.)

Even my teeth seem to be healing nicely after all. In some time I will post a before and after picture of them. I have an affirmation that I try to repeat daily: "My teeth are healthy, strong, and white."

My sister visited last week, and was asking me for toothpaste. She was also asking where the shampoo and conditioner were...oops. As gross as this would sound to a cooked food eater, I never have bad breath now, not even in the morning. My hair hardly ever gets dirty. A couple of times a month I rinse it with baking soda and water only. It is freeing not to need all those products. I could make a list of hundreds of other things.

But I digress.

As for what I ate this week, I couldn't have said it better than Fruity Jules (but I will summarize): I was going to have just tangerine juice all week. But it seems it is the end of their season, they are not as sweet, and watermelons are starting to come in now. I got several big ones with seeds. So this week I had some tangerine juice, papaya, and champagne mangoes, and lots of watermelon.

Today:
Breakfast - juice of 10 honey tangerines, and 1 papaya
Lunch - 4 champagne mangoes
Dinner - Bowl of fruit salad that I brought to a party (pineapple, strawberries, grapes, watermelon and kiwi. Yes always trust the fruitarian to bring the fruit salad.)
Later - 1 small watermelon and 4 red bananas
It was a long day. But a good one.

Wishing you all every beautiful thing. ♥
