I am a new raw foodist as of January 2008! I am seeking benefits such as improved general health, maintaining youthful appearance, weight control, and feeling “good” about what I am putting into my body.

I am 30-something female, not married, with a wonderful 12 year old son who is not as excited about going raw as I am. I am hoping to find a variety of recipes that he will enjoy to put as much raw into his diet as possible.

I enjoy my home, outdoor activities such as camping, fishing, hiking, and kayaking. I love to play competitive sports as well, such as basketball, 5K Walks, recently-volleyball, raquetball, etc. I love the Lord and am always seeking a deeper relationship with Him. I love being with kids and am a youth sponsor for the middle schoolers at our church. Playing video games with my son is fun, too! I read a lot – all kinds of things. I enjoy shows and movies like CSI, The Office, Law and Order, and classics like Fletch, Office Space, Rainman, and any type of suspense, psychological thriller, or legal drama. Light (not silly) comedies are also good! I enjoy watching documentaries of all types. Oh, and I currently have 6 cats…I chose 3 and 3 chose me. Don’t worry, they are all outside, but much loved! No more, though, please!

I am employed as a Research Analyst, concentrating on Child Abuse and Neglect, Adoption, and Foster Care research. I also have a jewerly business that I enjoy. My website is www.greencatgems.com. Check it out!

I’m looking forward to meeting new people and getting some new ideas to help with my transition to raw foods!
