"In a natural, unrefined, or crude state, not cooked" — Webster Dictionary High, Lately, there's been a growing buzz about raw vegan diet. A raw vegan regimen is a commitment to a truly new way of living for the average individual. Before diving head first into the world of rawness, I’ve compiled a list of the ten paramount gains that you’d want to know. 1. Health professionals considered it to be the healthiest diet. 2. Raw foods are often referred to as "living" foods. 3. Its extremely high in enzymes that help to digest foods. 4. Highly alkaline to optimize bodily functions. 5. Endless food combinations can be created. 6. You can expect guaranteed weight loss. 7. Food preparation may be lengthy. 8. Foods can be heated up to 115 degrees F. 9. It consists of fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, oils and herbs. 10. Often involves sprouting, blending, dehydrating and juicing. Making an effort to execute a raw vegan diet can be an ambitious one. When you weigh out the innumerable health benefits that lie within these living foods, "going raw" may be something to consider.

Jada Pinkett Smith will not support the Oscars. She says that people of color should stop begging for acknowledgement and make their own programs.

Stop the idea that a woman’s beauty is for a man’s gaze, that you have the right to touch her. This idea that she must smile and accept unwanted approaches even when she is clearly uncomfortable. Just because you call a woman “beautiful” does not mean you have the right to behave like her beauty belongs to you. There are women healing from scars gotten from men who have called them beautiful yet offered them darkness. The beauty of a woman is hers and hers alone. There are triggers for some women, respect this and know this. The beauty of a woman is hers and hers alone.

“Many white women have said to me, ‘We wanted black women and non-white women to join the movement,’ totally unaware of their perception that they somehow ‘own’ the movement, that they are the ‘hosts’ inviting us as ‘guests.’”

Getting pregnant is definitely not something I saw in my future.

I've witnessed how it's crippled so many souls... broken dreams...

I always said I'll never let anything stop me from being the explorer, adventurer, truth seeker, thrill seeker that I am.

But I'm also a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.

And I'm not so sure why God placed this being in my possession.

But I'm taking it all in and I'm blessed to have a loving, supporting partner who's just as wild, spontaneous and passionate about life as I am.

We are limitless!

Peace & Love

Daily Mantra, Inspiration

For the past year or so I’ve been saying a mini mantra as soon as I wake up and before I go to sleep. My mantra consists of goals and spiritual reminders. Overall it’s a way for me to reprogram my mind and guide myself in the direction I want. The effectiveness of doing this daily and putting these thoughts out into the universe has improved my overall being TREMENDOUSLY. I encourage everyone to sit down at a coffee shop, in your room, on your porch or wherever will get your juices flowing and create your own personal mantra!

My Updated Mantra:

My primary relationship is with myself. I am in the process of knowing, accepting, and loving myself. Today is a stepping stone towards my higher self. I will unlearn negative and harmful practices. I will begin by building a stronger relationship with the higher power. I will transition to a vegetarian lifestyle by the end of the year. I will overcome temptations that prevent me from achieving a healthier lifestyle. I will pass the praxis and continue working towards my degree. I will get straight A’s this upcoming semester. I will get a part time job I love and enjoy. I will read three books on my own time by the end of the year. I will update my blog three times a month. I have the unlimited capacity to make my life any way I choose. I am responsible for what I create. I am brilliant, I am powerful, I am limitless, and I am love.

After saying my mantra I like to follow up with inspirational quotes!

This time I chose, “Nothing can dime the light that shines from within.” “If you were to die today would you be satisfied with you day?” and “If you want something you’ve never had you’ve got to do something you’ve never done.”

Hope this inspires someone to try it out!

You better run from the devil

I just pray that I can heal myself, let go of things not meant for me, find comfort in my solitude, and have the strength to be soft in a world so hard.
