Login Here Signup Here Signup using FacebookHello, I am new to this idea, and I was wondering if there was any one out there willing to do a buddy system like thing, that would involve daily or weekly (something consistent) e-mails and support. Someone who can get personal and is trustworthy and needs someone who is going through similar things. It’d be nice to have someone who has a similar lifestyle as my own- I am a 21 yr. old college female who loves the outdoors and outdoor adventures, loves to dance, go to shows, create, explore, grow, etc. thanks!!!!! I’ll be there for you ;-)

Hi mineva – i’ll gladly be part of a support system. i’m 23, upstate new yorker, biker, hiker, work at a college and take classes, and i’m 8 weeks 99% raw.
maybe we could have a listserve—that would be kind of cool. i’ve been mostly raw since last july, but 3 weeks into completely raw. email: airmusique @ gmail.com
I’m also in college – out for the summer, love to dance & be creative, and I’ve been mostly raw for almost 3 years.
as a bonus, i’ll email you all a word document of recipes i compiled from online – already formatted for easy printing!!! it’s 100 pages long – with over 100 recipes. you can print it and bind it at a copier place for cheap, or do a three hole punch and put it in a binder. i’ve used it every night – free cookbook!!! gloria9858 “at” hotmail. com
you are so sweet. i got your email before checking back here and i was thinking “where did this come from… how delightful!”
thanks!
Yeah, me too – got it before I knew you were sending it! Great! :)
Cool – glad you guys liked the recipe book! I love to hear about recipe recommendations, so tell me what recipes you like.
Mineva – hopefully you’re still checking this forum. Give one of us an email anytime, and we’ll loop you in on the support group.
how neat! I think I would definitely benefit from something like this, hopefully others do to. Count me in.
Hey, I’m new to this too, and I think the email thing would be awesome because I’ve been looking for some support too (all of my friends and family either don’t know or think I’m crazy.) I’m a college student that loves music, shows, dancing, and outdoors too!
I’ve been 90% raw until recently. So far so good on 100% but it would be helpful to have a buddy keep me in line. It’s so frustrating where I life that everyone around me thinks I’m crazy. So my motivation goes downhill when there’s no one to relate to. I’m 23 and just finished college. I now manage a jewelry store. I love traveling the world and learning about different cultures, warm sunny weather and yoga.
Thanks for joining the raw support group, kelly roxi angie mila pianissima!!
Depending on where you live, you might be able to find a raw food group at meetup.com. Here’s the link: http://rawfood.meetup.com/
I recently discovered that we have a group here in Cincinnati and a few of us met for a raw picnic supper at a local park yesterday. It was just wonderful. We’re meeting again this Saturday afternoon – it was such a special time. I’d encourage everyone to try to link up w/ others locally.
Another way to “create” some local support is to invite a friend for lunch or tell him/her you want to come visit but will bring lunch to share. I did this w/ a good friend a couple weeks ago – mostly from recipes I found on this site—and she just fell in love w/ the food and has jumped in w/ both feet.
Hope this helps!
