Day 22 - Surprises

I knew I had some lovely friends. What I didn't realise is just how thoughtful some of them are. One of my closest friends, Carys, is really supportive of my rawness and is very easy to be raw around - even if we're out or whenever I'm at her house, the social aspect of raw is totally easy and a lot of the time she'll even choose or prepare something raw for herself too.

Carys has been supportive of my raw journey from day one - no questions asked (except maybe - 'How do you make that chocolate mousse?'), so when she saw me at yoga the day after watching my second video log, she asked if everything was going alright. I explained I was having a tough time but was plodding on through. At which point, out of no-where, she presented me with a copy of Matthew Kenney's Everyday Raw!!!!!


I could not hold my excitement down - TOTAL surprise and just so kind - it is one of, if not, THE book thats at the top of my long list of ones to get. I must've mentioned it in passing when I saw it was first available (this title isn't even on my Amazon Wishlist yet) and Carys had ordered it for my birthday but decided to give it to me as a 'you've done so well, keep going' present. I was totally knocked out by her thoughtfulness.

Such a boost to know my friends are with me on this journey and (to quote Andrew) - although they aren't necessarily on the same boat as me, they're sure as hell swimming along side me.

Thank you Carys :o)
