Hello to some old friends I see are back and new ones that are just beginning.
I haven't been very active on the on-line community since the step seven list was adjusted, but every now and then I check the forum to see what's going on.

Each year as I pass an anniversary I think I should write in and give an update.
Well this year I finally will.

I have stayed steady with the food since the day I started, as best I could under the circumstances.
I have had some situations beyond my control, but was always eager to get back to my program.

I am ever grateful to Kathleen and this community for the support to do so.
I am so glad I don't have to be hungry anymore

I have had grand children born- amazing joy;
as well as deaths and family tragedies that have brought me to my knees, my food and deep prayer always sustained me.

I have moved to a new state with my husband and started a new job.
How exciting at my age .
This would not have been possible with out the clear mind of radiance.
Our new place is an old country farm house we have been working on for several years.
We have a large mature pear tree and several mature grape vines, lots of flowers and humming birds.

The 10-15 lbs I gained while getting steady has disappeared.

I have incorporated juicing and raw food into my program.
I love the variety and flavors.
I grow my own wheat grass and sprouts

My favorite breakfast these days is turkey sausage, some baked potato, and 2 eggs, with a shake on the side made of unsweetened almond milk and chocolate rice protein powder.

If you are just starting out- don't give up, keep eating breakfast and coming back here to post and read every ones responses.
I read and posted every day for a year when I started.

I appreciate those of you that were here when I started and are still giving that kind, direct guidance to all.
