Broken foot, best thing that happened to me this summer! Seriously, I really mean that. 6 weeks ago an 80lb concrete slab fell onto my barefoot, crushing it and rendering it useless for 6 weeks. I couldn't work, couldn't walk or drive. I lived in my dads lazy boy at my parents house, spending my days on the internet, reading or lying in the sun. As you can imagine I've had tons of time to think about my life and future. Before this happened I was constantly working, and being busy with all of life's stuff. Working and eating junk food, not exercising, not praying the way I'd like to, not paying attention to life and how my poor choices were hurting me. I was getting sicker and sicker day by day. Than CRACK, there goes my foot and I'm flat on my butt for 6 weeks. Now, I don't know if God breaks peoples feet or not, but I know that He was helping me to take a break and take a look at my life. You know what? I'm really thankful, I'm so glad my foot broke. That's kinda weird but I've made some great changes in my life this past 6 weeks that I never would have made going the way I was. I changed my diet, changed my thought life (thinking more positive), and I even decided to go back to school. I've been on the web watching some really amazing health videos that are changing my life. I'll put up the links at the bottom of this post so you all can be blessed by them as well. Oh, yeah and I should mention. The best part about breaking my foot, getting to spend time with family and friends that I never saw while I was so busy working. It's been great, I have the best family in the world, really. Well, the 6 weeks is over now and I go back to work. I know I'll be prioritizing my life differently now, I don't want it to take another broken foot to slow me down again. I'm gonna live each day as it comes, with Jesus as my faithful guide. Like He says, "don't worry about tomorrow, tomorrow will worry about itself". Just going back to the basics, living simply, loving God and loving people! 
God Bless,
Esther

Hey all. So, I've finally embarked on a journey to true health. Raw fruits/veggies, plenty of water and rest and of course, a personal relationship with Christ. The building blocks to a happy and fruitful life. I've been on and off this lifestyle for about 8 years now. Researching health and trying all sorts of different diets and lifestyles. I have to say, the SAD (standard american diet) is NOT the way to thrive. Over the past 3 years I've been eating tons of meat, dairy, eggs, refined sugars and processed foods, not to mention about 3-6 cups of coffee a day. Sounds like the typical north American? Well, thats right and I ended up looking and feeling just like the typical North American as well. Overweight ( I gained 40lb in the last 4 years!), tired, groggy, pimply and sick. I had no energy to exercise and no desire to be active. I used to be a top notch athlete! Also, over the past 8 years I've had 8 severe allergic reactions, 2 of which almost took my life! Was I ever a mess. So, after much research, prayer and thought, I made the choice to go 100% raw. Not caring anymore what people around me think about it, it's my health and well being at stake! It's been 1 month and I feel great! I can't believe the changes. I have energy, my skin is clearing up, I've lost 10lb, I can think clearly, I sleep great at night and no more grogginess. I joined an online support forum for HCRV (High Carb Raw Vegans), www.30bananasaday.com. This site offers great articles, videos and tips for acquiring optimum health. I've been reading all the blogs, watching all the vids and filling up on GREAT information and advice. I'm gonna keep writing as much as I can to keep everyone updated on my heatlh,so keep checking back. Also, please follow my journey on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/user/ebananabee?feature=mhee
Talk to you soon and God Bless,
Esther
