You are such an inspiration! Congrats on the 94.2!!! OMG, 100 is edging closer! Great pics & video! You're melting before our eyes!
I have 100 to lose and am so tempted to join you. Not sure I could be so consistent but darn, if I knew I could...
Keep it up Girl. You're getting more gorgeous by the minute.

Valerie,
Super job all the way round!
Walking, moving, pics, music and dogs too! I celebrate with you. Looking forward to the new blog. Just awesome
Hey Valerie, Great blog!! You are a beautiful woman!
Valerie, you are SO inspiring. Congratulations on your progress so far. I admire your commitment to raw foods and eating local produce. I visit your blog every day for inspiration on my own path and to cheer you on. Thank you.

Wow Valerie you have the most amazing writing in a blog I have never seen you mention, http://anothersliceofthepie.blogspot.com/
When I went to Envision Now (very nice) I easily linked to this other one of yours.
Why not let people leave comments to those posts? What a neat blog! I was reading the post about in 150 years and just going, wow, wow, wow, what a thinker! Amazing. But I want to be allowed to leave comments/questions, poor me.
I just thought why do I feel the need to comment? It is mainly because writing helps me learn and understand ideas better, and blogging inspires the writing. You wouldn't have to make a rule about responding to all the comments, although of course that is fun, but I can see how that task might get a little overwhelming with philosophical questions. I just hope you will let people comment if you don't have any big reason not to.
Or at least let me comment! Ha!
Your Beautiful, Valerie!

Your weight loss is really starting to show, you must feel really proud!! Keep up the good work and congratulations again!!

wow, wow, and more wow. The difference is amazing!!!!!!!! You're younger, (and i love your hair longer...it's so healthy looking)and your added strength really shows in your stride. You might not see the changes from day to day, but your blogger friends certainly do. Good ole little bit seems to have perked up, as well.

Valerie, you continue to unveil the beauty that has always been. It is evident in your writing: how you regard people, appreciate nature and the many possibilities of the present moment.
This video rocks! Excellent music too :-) Gave me shivers to see you strolling through that gorgeous park. Feel like I am beholding a dear friend who has allowed me a glimpse into her cherished journal. And I also believe I am witnessing a valuable part of history taking place within a mass conscious-awakening of the raw foods lifestyle. Your truth has ripples of ever-flowing energy!
Surely your experience inspires many of whom you are not even aware. Can only imagine the joy felt by Mary and Lil Bit to see you thriving and rockin' this awesome way of life you are creating.
Hugs,
Jean
ps: "Green for Life" on order - I'm like a kid waiting for Santa. Soothed my impatience by scoring big at the produce section - am now in possession of some luscious local, organic kale and strawberries - will be feasting royally :-)
WOW! I can really see the difference even from just your pic. Lookin good!
I adore the area you live in. My boyfriend lives in Northern Idaho and I visited there in May. I love it!

i forgot to say... the biggest difference is in your eyes. Your eyes look so much more alive and vibrant!

Wow! I can’t believe I got 19 comments on this post yesterday. I am genuinely overwhelmed by the positive and supportive feedback I’ve gotten from the raw food community. The encouragement I have received from all of you has given me strength to continue on my journey. Thank you so much for taking a few moments to leave me a note. May you all have a glorious Friday.

Wendy & Paige,
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave me a note.
Jgunn,
You noticed the absence of my sassafras walking stick. I’m feeling more confident about walking without it on hard surfaces. I may still use it on softer or more uneven surfaces. I’m also not using my cane as often.
