The Krazy Kracker Lady

I went to see Abeba Wright last night. What a great lady she is and a great speaker. She was at Cafe Gratitude up in Healdsburg, for Shea's Monday night live, that she puts on, on Monday nights. She did a talk on What are you willing to adjust?
I was coming at it from only a food perspective, but she was encompassing all of life, which makes much more sense. It's interesting to see things through other eyes once in awhile, and to listen to other's ideas.
Then she let us taste her krackers! And I must say she is a master when it comes to taste. Like she said sometimes you just get tired of plain flax crackers!
It was a great evening and Shea has some more great things coming up. If at all possible I suggest you go to as many as you can. She is providing us with wonderful speakers free of charge and you get to go to Cafe Gratitude for some good eats before the talks.

A reason for Raw

I thought I was allergic to chocolate! Can that be? No woman really wants to be unable to eat chocolate when we want it.

Then I learned more about the process and found it really isn't the cacao bean's fault, but years of being treated with no respect that had turn the bean against me.

Listening to David Wolfe and learning that with moderation I can have my cacao when I want it, need it and when the GOT TO HAVE IT urge comes over me.



But really this blog won't be only about cacao, but about my journey, the whole slip-sliding-away reality of going raw at the ripe age of 56 now 58 and what I've learned about this great lifestyle, and about me. My addiction to food and my teeter totter relationship with food.



Because for some of us Baby Boomers who have been brought up with great wholesome foods and then saw it deteriorate into what they call food today. We all need to be more mindful of what's going into our mouth, on our hair and into our pores. No longer can we believe that what we smear on our bodies won't hurt us.
