A former boss told me, “Ms. Caesar if you don’t stand for something, you stand for nothing…” I can steal my mom’s favorite quote all the time, “I’m neither black or white…I’m in the gray area…” Yeah, she was definitely an artist prior to Prince and his symbol.
Basically, it comes a point in your life where you have to make a decision. Now, it’s not going to be easy, but you have to just do it. The outcome will be the outcome, and worry about perfection later.

Say it! Say what you are! Scream it like the Vikings! Make a song and dance too. Just make the dam decision already…(Ok…I know you are waiting for me…) I am a Raw Vegan…I am a Raw Vegan…I am a Raw Vegan… Introducing Michael Jackson: Beat It…, No…The Title is: Eat It, Raw Vegan!
Just eat Ittttttttttt….eat Itttttttttttt,
No food has to be reheated
Resist the cupcake, don’t take a bite
It Doesn’t Matter, it’s raw food tonight
Just eat It, Raw Vegan
Just eat it, Raw Vegan
Just eat Itttttttttttt……eat Itttttttttttt (please no autographs)
So my fast lasted maybe about two weeks, with a few evenings and days that I found peanuts, bananas, strawberries, blueberries and the occasional cooked foods like shrimp fried rice (#Mambo’s Mexican Restaurant), Miss Dee’s strawberry cheese cake with whip cream, lovely bread pudding and apple turnovers from the local bakery near my job. Well…What a combination…And you are probably saying…as my ex-would say, Dam It-Tiffany! Well…stress, anxiety, my sweet tooth and more drove me to the last list of foods, but I’m still hopeful.
Even in my minimalist approach of living, clutter is creeping in. At 2:00am in the morning I was cleaning the kitchen inspired to make a change in my life, after reading a blog from the angriestblackman in which he ended it by saying in so many words, nothing will be accomplished if you complain instead of climbing the mountain.
So, I am not going to beat myself up or do anything that will make myself feel less than…But I will try again…I will get my hands, feet, and gear ready to climb the mountain called raw food…and I will keep climbing it until I reach the top…Because as I stated in my title…It is a Raw Food War, and I plan on winning…just like…Charlie Sheen…ok bad joke…but seriously I plan on winning!
My Big Sister is a health fitness expert, and I will share this advice from her… “Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment…” And I plan on making that gap smaller, one raw food at a time… ©NEEMA
