Now, I&#39;m trying to find ways to be completely vegan, since there are times I&#39;m not. I&#39;m also wanting to go more raw. I&#39;d love to be all raw, but I just don&#39;t know if I can, living in a cold winter area (I love my hot vegan/vegetarian soups/stews/&quot;comfort food&quot; in winter!).<br />I&#39;m working on it all. It&#39;s a slow process, but there are successes along the way. We just have to rely on the Lord and get back up when we have times of failure. <br />I&#39;m thrilled you are doing this series...I&#39;m looking forward to it!Suzie C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03161605611676649926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742425632809032640.post-26469401363594194852009-11-10T08:55:34.802-05:002009-11-10T08:55:34.802-05:00wow...those are really neat.
