So I was reading the blog The Raw Reform created by this fantastic Raw Foodie, Angela Stokes Monarch and she had posted her "31 of the things, people and resources which have most inspired me into a more blissful and enjoyable journey here since my birth on Earth" for her 31st birthday. I thought this was a great idea and since I just had my 24th birthday on the 12th of this month, I thought I'd share my 24 things. Here goes:
1. Skinny Bitch (not because I liked the book, but because it caused me the begin my veg journey)
2. Walk Slowly, Live Wildly (Sara Jensen is the most inspiring woman & her life style is parallel to many of my dreams)
3. Dr. Joel Fuhrman author of Eat to Live
4. Tori Amos
5. My 2009 Road Trip to the Western National Parks
6. The Master Cleanse (this is amazing! My body is detoxing and I'm getting out all of the gunk)
7. The Raw Mom Summit (this got my into learning about raw foods)
8. Ani Phyo author of The Raw Food Kitchen (I'm actually going to work though her entire book)
9. Daniel my boyfriend (he should really be closer to the top. he loves me for who I am and allows me to be me. He is here for me while I am figuring out who I am and he encourages any thing I think I need to do and experience. Ive never felt more free and comfortable in my own skin)
10. My puppies Molly and Buttons (they have given me the gift of unconditional love)
11. The book The Continuum Concept by Jean Liedloff (this should be required reading for the world)
12. My cat Milo. He was the very first animal that was truly my own. I loved him more than anything at the time, and then I lost him. He died before he reached 1 year
13. The book Stitch and Bitch: The Happy Hooker (because crocheting has been passed along my family for generations and this book made me fall in love completely)
14. My journals (I have kept all of my journals since I was a child. It has taught me a lot about myself, looking back)
15. Going to college at LSU
16. learning to cook vegetarian food and learning about nutrition has completely changed my goals and passions in life. I'm obsessed with veg cook books!
17. Cafe Bamboo!! the first vegetarian restaurant in New Orleans!!! Ek!!! I Love You, Cafe Bamboo!
18. All raw food book authors! I love you too!
19. Our Daily Bread shopping center and cafe in BR, very vegan and organic friendly!!
20. Whole Foods for being available to me for all my organic needs
21. Beyonce.... corny I know, but she is such a powerhouse and strong woman role model. Love it!
22. The North Shore Lakefront. Has been my comfort place for a very long time (Java, playground, cemetery, trail head... endless memories there)
23. Zion National Park, made me want to be a ranger or work more in nature.
24. The internet and other peoples blogs, because I have been able to learn so much more about life and the world than I could have ever imagined
