To me,
money
has absolutely -nothing- to do
with attraction.
One of the hottest men I have ever encountered in my life, worked at a gas station
in Tavernier/Florida Keys,
& I am pretty sure he did not own the place, lol.
Or maybe he was the owner, however that was irrelevant.
Thank HEAVENS (It was fate.) the gas pump would not accept my card & I had to go inside to use it,
as soon as I walked in, & laid eyes on him,
I was on fire!
We began talking & it was almost unbearable I had to restrain myself from jumping over the counter & attacking him lol.
Because he was also very polite, classy (money cannot buy class, that has definitely been proven lol, expensive clothes are no measure of true class either), & he had a sexy voice, on top of everything.
Looks & personality, are you trying to
KILL ME??!!
I had been traveling around alone,
for several weeks lol.
He finished my transaction & it was time to leave,
it was heart wrenching,
I didn't have the courage to ask him out. :(
I kept the receipt forever lol didn't want to throw it away, it was my only physical memory & had his name printed on it.
:)
I honestly thought about driving back & stalking the place until he got off work LOL.
I didn't think to look for a wedding ring,
so, wasn't sure if he was married.
I do not like wives...LOL.
Boooo
Hi, can I rent your husband for a week?
Cool with you?
I can write you a check lol.
Because I know he likes me too, lol
sorry to say, Mrs...
(I would never, ever, become involved with a married man, just to clarify.)
Or, maybe he was single!!
:(
I'm such a coward.
Always go for it!!
The point is,
money is insignificant when it comes to attraction.
What nature created is all that matters,
in that situation lol.
:)- ♡
Did I want to marry him, & have babies?
No lol.
I do not need all of that.
Okay maybe this post was a little too much sharing LOLOL, just saying!
I would date anyone, with any type of ethical job title, no misunderstanding lol, & ambition is definitely attractive & required also, the point is there are many awesome, good/kind, & highly alluring men who are not millionaires, or were not born into wealthy families. :)

Hermit Tara came out of her shell & went out tonight, my little madre and I. ♡
I'm so awkward.
Mommy dressed me lol, my skirt & shoes,
& her top & necklace. :)-
(She made me wear a brassiere! Not me!)
Necklace doesn't match at all LOL, but mom disagreed & got all upset, when I told her I didn't want to wear it, so fine, I'll look silly just to humor the lady.
(She usually has impeccable taste! Kidding.)
I should really go out & socialize more often, I think that is 1 reason why I am so crazy,
I spend too much time alone, just me
& my nutty brain! Lol
*
Luckily the party served a cheese & egg-free leafy salad, sweet potato, & mixed veggie dish,
so we didn't starve lol.
No fruit or nuts however just a bunch of different types of cake. Cake cake CAKE!
The huge ring was a gift from my grandmother, I always oogled over it when I was little.

I am going to seek professional help for my hair soon lol, I usually just trim it myself because I don't enjoy going to hair salons, nnnnoooo, don't make me do it!
*
Lol, I know I have huge hands, looks like an invisible man is hugging me LOLOLOL.
In my mind! :)-
*
One day in elementary school,
our teacher decided to measure the hand span/width of all of her students.
My hands were the largest in the entire class,
bigger than all the boys as well!
Today I wouldn't care,
but, at that age,
I clearly remember, I felt so mortified & humiliated LOL I felt freakish for being so big lol.
Thanks teach! :)
For years I was usually taller than all my male classmates as well, until the boys started going through their growth spurts,
when I got into the older grades.
Some of them made rude comments about my being taller/bigger than them, & really hurt my feelings,
as a very-very shy & sensitive young kid.
>:(
Like anyone has control over how tall they are lol.
A plague, on your houses!
Lol I am kidding.
A plague on your apartments.
Lol. :)-
Bad jokessss...
I never bully people over things they have absolutely no control over,
I drove to Durango for the cheaper motel rates lol,
tent camping is fun on 60/70° nights but not 30/40°,
I had to get indoors!
Also I wanted a private bathroom, sharing a bathroom is not fun(even with a spouse/partner, nooo!!), & my bank has a location here makes life easier :/, & there are some other stores I like to go to located in this town, it is in the mountains very scenic, in the southern/warmer area of Colorado,
& there are lots of trailheads here!♡♡♡
*
After this 3 day cold & rain streak is over, it will be full sun & gorgeous,
excited to go hiking in the mountains!

I found this bone, in the woods,
humanely harvested, & it made the perfect key chain, already had a tiny hole.
I rinsed it well with scalding water & it had already been sun-bleached.
I took it to a hardware store to make a spare key and freaked the man out lol.
Because my full set of keys is now stuck, in the dashboard air vent, naturally, where else would they be...?

When you wake up craving donuts & croissants,
then you see a suuuper skinny girl in the store!
LOLOLOLOLOL
Okay nevermind.
I want to be skinny!!!
Thank you skinny girl. Lol
Restoring hope...♡
I wish people would just stop manufacturing fattening, unhealthy foods!!!
They are too tempting!
Yes, y'all are doing great work for humanity,
keeping everyone fat & sick, good job!
Assuring shelves are stocked with junk,
I commend you.
The stuff makes you feel & look so horrible after you eat it, not worth it.
*
No company needs to close down,
just start using healthy ingredients, & producing healthier products!
*
"But...the Hispanic gangsters, are trying to destroy America, & kill Americans!!"
How many people die every day from eating this poisonous/deadly drug food...?
Junk food/drink companies, and the meat, egg, and dairy industries, tobacco & alcohol, kill thousands and thousands of Americans every year.
The government just ignores that fact.
You want to know who is killing Americans, those companies & industries are killing in huge numbers,
but the government does not have the balls to stand up to them, or the ignorant slob Americans who would actually protest having to eat a healthy diet.
*
How many people have a friend or someone in their family with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, who is suffering, or has died?
Many of them before old age.
All because of diet, alcohol, and tobacco products.
And the pharmaceutical companies, also responsible for a great many deaths and health problems.
Marijuana leaf on the other hand is not linked to these deaths, marijuana leaf is only known to relieve disease not to cause it.
*
The medical industry is completely overwhelmed with sick people
because of disease-causing companies and industries.
Hispanic gangsters are not throwing pepperoni & cheese pizza/soda and donut parties, making everyone obese, and killing everyone.
Cannot wait to hike all my troubles away in the gorgeous mountains. ♡
This is a park in Brady, Texas :)
Surely you are familiar...lol.
I am actually in Sweetwater now,

Does anyone else ever have anxiety attacks about death....
I don't know what is out there, where I am headed, and it terrifies me.
Whatever it is, I just hope it isn't painful.
*
That is the main thing I am afraid of,
is the afterlife painful?
Is my death going to be painful?
I guess one of the biggest blessings in life,
is a painless, peaceful death.
It does happen for some lucky people.
They live to a ripe old age, then one moment,
they just stop.
*
I hope I not reincarnated, as some poor farm animal on its way to slaughter, or a starving child in Uganda.
What is it???
Just nothing-ness?
Before I was born, it was nothing.
Sometimes I want to die and other times I don't.
Life on Earth can be torturous,
but I am afraid of the after life.
I guess it is a waste of time and tears to stress about.
All you can do is wait and see.
People can speculate, & hope, but nobody knows.
What is the point, and what am I supposed to do, while I am here?
This is not a game show, with an ending, and a prize, it is just an endless cycle...
over & over...for what?
This is one reason why I have no desire to bring a child here...why?
So they too, can agonize out about dying?
Or maybe, they would never think about it,
I know I am a morbid person.
These types of thoughts never enter some people's minds, I suppose.
I also just don't want the additional stress of worrying about children, because I am a worrier, and I have enough stress on my mind already.
Also the thought of pregnancy, and childbirth,
freak me out.
Sometimes I wish I was a shallow, simple person who never had any profound thoughts,
I drive myself crazy.
I think there actually are some people like that in the world!
They just don't think about anything!
Except for "What restaurant will I eat at for dinner?"
Don't you realize, you're headed towards the abyss?!
This is why so many people want to believe they will ascend up to the clouds & join all their deceased loved ones, comforting thoughts.
I hope.
Okay, the end.
Yayeee, carry on.

Sunlight is actually wonderful for the skin.
Everything you've been told is a

I am not a trillionaire but I still feel guilty for everything that I have, so many people are suffering so much!
I felt like a total spoiled brat driving past her in this old truck....

She has no vehicle at all.
Her life is very rough compared to mine.
I wish everyone could just be taken care of!

I will knock your head off,
I am in no mood right now LOL.
I am PMSing, I'm tired...you have been warned.
And I had to tell her
"Uh I was here first..."
Kidding I would not assault anyone only because I don't wanna be locked up.
Jail really works I guess.
Seriously unbelievable lol!
Then they had the nerve to snicker and snarl at me like I give a $#÷! LOL.
Jeez, some people, amazing.
That's it,
I'm signing up for Krav Maga lessons,
I wish you would...høë.

I dare you.
Go ahead...lol, make my day...LOL.

I am not the quiet, shy, timid girl that I used to be, when I was younger,

As they were standing right next to me snooting at me under their breath,
I wanted to turn around and grab her pony tail and slam her forehead into the countertop,
LOL
but I am a civilized person.
I do not cause scenes, in public.

Now if she was an elderly woman, I would have been fine with it, but it was just a dumb bi+@#,

I'm honestly over Florida, for now, I feel like driving to Colorado again lol,
because I am a Crazy Daisy.
I am due for another killer mountain climbing leg workout.
Whichever mountains don't have too much snow currently.
Florida is so flat!
The ocean water is too cold for swimming at the moment, for me.
I know where the prettiest beaches are now, I have a better idea of where I may want to live, that was my purpose for coming out here.
I drove up to Daytona, to check out the city, I've never been there.
Stopped at Tomoka State Park!
I guess I will go take a look at the speedway, race car thingy that is so famous here, even though I honestly could not care less lol, I think it is dangerous and unnecessary, but whatever pops your corn.
Be careful out there.

All I care about right now is watching these awesome fireflies, they make me happy!♡

I want a motorcycle.
It's settled, I'm gonna get my license, and get one, sometime in the near future.
I will not be going fast, just the feeling of being out in the open air... ooohhhh, I would love it.
I wouldn't be driving it on the busy freeway in a lot of dangerous traffic, given the way everyone recklessly speeds around, no way, nobody drives safely & obeys the speed limits but me, it seems, just out on the open road somewhere.
Don't tell my mother, she will freak.

Oops again...lol
I got even more fried at Siesta Key the other day!

It is weird how bad things lead to good things sometimes.
I am actually glad I drove around to look for another place, love it here!

Trying not to fall asleep in here zzzzzzzZZZZ
Once I start tanning in the sun daily, my leg fur will lighten up lol!
Beautiful sunset hiking down, I arrived to my truck right at dark!
I started hiking at 9/10am (mountain/central) & was back at my truck right at dark, trail was visible the entire way back without a flashlight.♡

On top of Texas!♡♡♡
I picked a perfect day, full sun all day, & not too cold.
Guadalupe Peak, tallest mountain in Texas.
8,751'
*
I spoke to a ranger patrolling this (national) park, he said hiking is allowed, but camping is not, during this crazy government shutdown.
(Even though people are still tent camping inside the park lol, but not rv camping of course, because no public vehicles are allowed, l don't know if the ranger found them, or what the consequences are.)
The nearest motel is an hour away, in Vanhorn.
After I got back to my truck from hiking the summit I was so extremely exhausted & sore, I just slept in my truck outside the gate, at the entrance lol.
No one asked me to move. ♡:)
*
The gate is closed, to prevent people from driving in, people are just parking at the entrance, walking underneath the gate, & going into the park.
Nothing alarming, just the visitor center is a ghost town, no authorities anywhere except for a nice ranger briefly swinging by, at night, during the day, & in the morning.
The park is clean, trash bins are stuffed full but not overflowing (I am not throwing any trash away at the park, keeping a trash bag in my truck & throwing it away somewhere else.).
Nobody making trouble, everyone I see and talk to is extremely nice, very peaceful atmosphere, people are just here to hike.♡
*
I slipped on ice & fell smack onto my sacrum, ouch!
Sore & swollen, scratched my arms lol.
Just happy I didn't break myself!
Then after that I slipped & fell a few more times lol, several snowy patches, which is nice because I drink the snow along the way, don't have to haul heavy jugs of water!
I never get sick drinking snow, & the cold ice helps keep you alert during the strenuous hike.♡

Lots of meals & snacks here for under $26.00 &
minimal plastic.
Not perfect but a little plastic is certainly better than a lot of plastic.
I got into a little argument years ago with a store employee women once, because she told me I could not use reusable bags to put dates, nuts, & bulk products in.
I was in a bad mood, lol, & it was just the wrong day to reprimand me for trying to help the planet.
I went back & apologized to her a couple days later, not her rules.
The concern is transfering germs from reusable bags unto the container bins.
They need to provide paper bags then, I should email.
:)
Plastic is so horrible & it is invading all things.
I'm buying regular bananas now because "organic" bananas are wrapped in a plastic strap.
The dates, 3 varieties of apples, & the beets are all organic.
Pretty goooodies!
Beet leaves are an edible green also!

Never once taken a B-12 supplement & I am feeling great.♡
Nor any other supplements, or vitamin pills.♡♡♡
Avoid harmful foods like meat & dairy, as well as harmful drugs like alcohol & tobacco products, which cause nutrient deficiencies, such as B-12 deficiency.
Get natural nutrition by eating whole foods, & fresh picked foods, & sunbathing under the glorious sun! :)
Leaning all my body weight onto my formerly injured wrist!
The pain, swelling, & soreness has almost vanished.
After about 10 years of discomfort, I make greater improvements to my diet, &, almost immediately, my bothersome wrist is healed, feels great!
I would bet from not eating flours/doughy foods, or table salt, or table sugar.
Inflammatory processed foods.
And increasing my anti-inflammatory leafy green intake.
No painful & stressful surgery, or unhealthy pain pills & pharmaceuticals. :)
*
Vegan junk food will also cause health problems/pain in adults & children.
*
The additives, preservatives, processed salts, process oils, petrochemical food coloring, processed sugars/sweeteners, fried foods, & refined/bleached grains(flours), have negative physical, & mental, effects.
Eat whole foods, raw foods, & live pain free.♡

Still working on the weight loss. :)
Soon I will actually be able to breathe in mom's clothes.

Bathtub thoughts:
Hmm, me thinks....
If women, would stop behaving like a bunch idiotic, materialistic wenches....perhaps men wouldn't fight & kill to obtain money...?
Just a little thought-a-roo...
We are better than that ladies...
Screw these stupid handbags already, who gives a $#!* LOL.
Well not me.
Murder our magnificent, beautiful animals & turn them into needless, obnoxious products, wrong...
Hundreds of thousands of dollars just so your kid can spill Koolaid on it ;)-.
A tad bit ridiculous.
I personally would feel (& look) like a bozo walking around carrying one of those things.
There are much more important things in life.♡♡♡
NEW YEAR BE YOUR BEST!

BTW....I am well aware of my tooth issues...lol
When I was 12 years old, mother had composite bonding done on my 2 lateral incisors, to make them appear nice & full & perfect, because my adult incisors grew in very small.
I wish I had never had this done, but I was 12 years old, & just agreed to it.
I had them updated a few years ago, but then one of the new composites popped off...not too long after, you can see, one incisor is smaller...
*
Funny story, the building my dentist works in, was entirely evacuated for a fire scare, literally right before my appointment to get my composites renewed. Lol
By the time everyone was permitted to go back inside...it was around 5pm, & I am sure my dentist was super ready to call it a day & go home.
So, I think he may have rushed the procedure a bit lol.
My first composites lasted over 20 years...he did them when I was 12 years old, an excellent job, & then I went back sometime in my early 30's to have them redone.
I am not mad, things happen, I understand.
I am just guessing that is why the new composite fell off, a rushed job, seems logical.
I no longer live in that area so I haven't made it back.
Now, I have asymmetrical teeth lol, and am torn between having a new composite applied, or, just removing the other one.
Big, beautiful, perfect, fake teeth...or all natural, & imperfect...lol?
*
Decisions, decisions...but this maintenance is bothersome, & I would rather not deal with it.
However, I know the fake bonding looks puuurty.....
☆☆☆☆☆
But I don't like weird chemicals in my mouth either.
I donno.
Mother says I will "look like a hillbilly" without the composites.
(She will probably get mad that I told everyone she said that, she's a loving mother, promise lol.)
Another dentist also told me it "wouldn't look good" to have them removed.
*
So yea, sorry...lol, will be symmetrical again soon!
*
And, working on adopting a no-hot-coffee life, to naturally whiten my teeth.
It is not...easy...for me lol, I love a cup of hot coffee in the morning but it ruins my teeth.
*
Anyhow I would really prefer to just have the other composite removed & not ever have to bother with updating them again, & just accept the imperfect teeth I was born with.
I again regret ever having the procedure done, I believe it somewhat damaged my natural teeth, & perhaps even prevented them from growing correctly over the years, with the composite material laid on top of them. :/
Regular potato chips are LOADED with processed salts, try & buy unsalted foods whenever possible!
Your body will thank you. ;)

Pleeeease, kindly do everyone a favor.... &
DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE.
I am sure a lot of intoxicated people who caused wrecks thought they were sober enough, & then had accidents...
Unintended, but it still happens.
This is serious...
I am afraid to drive anywhere tonight.

I am actually not intoxicated here, lol just tired.
I allowed the big dogs to sleep in bed with me last night, usually don't, & they kept waking me up!
I spent Christmas Eve pet sitting♡♡♡lol.
I was the only human in the house...

PLEASE..better to stay put, or find a designated/sober driver...or even better, do not drink...for everyone's safety.
♡♡♡
Very important to actually be watching the road.
I hit & killed a rabbit driving to Colorado once...
It was a very late, pitch black night, on a dark country road, driving 30mph UNDER the speed limit, 40 in a 70...speed limits are all too high, & all should have a slower night speed.
It was so late at night, I was the only driver out on this road at the time, & it wasn't a big highway.
I had the bright lights on to better notify animals & people.
I glanced down to quickly get my phone & when I looked up it was too late.
I decided to go back, found it dead in the road, pulled over, slipped & fell getting out of the truck & scraped my knees bloody in rocky mud, picked up the rabbit with my muddy, bloody legs, & moved it into the edge of the field.
Of course I was devastated.
*
I had not been drinking...the negligence was driving at night, & not watching the road.
I may have seen the rabbit approaching & been able to miss it.
It just hopped right into my tire!
I saw more rabbits & they turned around & ran back into the field when I drove by.
This traumatizing night inspired my "Angel Devil Bunny" sketch.
Rabbit ghost now haunts me.
*
*
You never know what can suddenly appear in the road, day or night...
Better to drive slower & always have your eyes on the road....be safe♡
I try not to drive much after dark, it greatly reduces visibility & the animals come out!

I took this photo several weeks ago, but here it is!
I was not born into a "rich" family, but still I grew up very comfortably, compared to many, & I do have a great family.
I am not physically 100% perfect, but I cannot complain..
I could list many things I do not have...
But what I do have, I am incredibly thankful for.
Sometimes I even feel guilty, because of the wonderful blessings I was given, while so many others were dealt such an unbelievably hard hand in life. :(
It brings me to tears, seeing what some are going through, or have to live with.
I even become frightened at times,
life has been so kind, is horrible tragedy, (other than losing my father) awaiting me on the horizon?
Why am I so lucky, while many are suffering SO greatly??????
All I can do is give back as much as I can, & never forget how fortunate I am.

Old photo...I miss being in a dance troupe!
So many crazy, fun, California nights..so many laughs.
Los Angeles, Santa Monica, & other cities...we also performed in Las Vegas.
In my mid/late-twenties, wish I could find the original where my girls were not cropped out :(.
I think I was taking ballet classes every week at this time, why I am in such great shape in this photo, even though this was several years before I went vegan.
These are rumored to be poisonous by some, or possibly edible -just not recommended- by others, but not deadly.
Hmmmm...I took a few nibbles...DELICIOUS RAW, now just waiting for my stomach to explode. :)
>UPDATE:<
It's been a few days now, I did not become sick at all, I ate about 3 bites of a cap.
I am willing to bet that eating some mushrooms combined with bacteria laden animal products like butter, meats/eggs, cheese, etc. possibly/probably contributes to negative symptoms after eating....
Similar appearance to a chanterelle, but chanterelles have that beautiful, unique, free-flowing/organic shape, & chanterelles have "false gills".
There is also the "false chanterelle" mushroom, but I do not think these are false chanterelles, they look more like jack-o-lanterns.
Some say these are bioluminescent, wow!
However others say that is just a rumor...?
Reportedly the gills on a fresh, young jack-o-lantern mushroom will glow in the dark.
Of course I have to try & see this, but I need to go back & pick some younger specimens.
I will certainly post if I find this rumor to be true!
This cluster was too pretty, & big & impressive, to disturb, I left them alone.
There were LOTS of others growing.♡
>>>UPDATE!!!!<<<
HOLY SH÷*!!!!!!....IT IS TRUE!
JACK-O-LANTERN MUSHROOMS
ARE INDEED BIOLUMINESCENT!
I CAN SEE IT!
One of the larger ones I picked is glowing really well!
I didn't see any glow in any other ones.
Lay them on a dark surface gill side up, cap facing down, turn of all lights/completely darken room, wait a few seconds or a minute or two, for your eyes to adjust, & the neon green glow will slowly begin to appear, it is SUPER neato!
I have to figure out how to photograph & record the glow!
To frustrated skeptics who have tried & do not see it, keep picking & looking!
Find a large sized mushroom, with long, highly visible gills, the light is in the gills, so small mushrooms with inconspicuous gills will be more difficult to see any glow.
It is a soft glow, not a bright lazer show, really look hard, the darker the room the better, glow is more visible in absolute pitch blackness, at night time!

Morning 3, I am crying.
I found him this morning with his arms wedged in between the cage bars, lying motionless.
I began talking to him, because he was in an upright position, & I thought he was alive, then I noticed he wasn't moving at all, & realized he was dead, & then my heart exploded.
I do not know what happened!!!!!!
I didn't stay with him all night again last night, like I should have, I slept inside. :(
I left him alone overnight on the first night, when he was in much worse condition, & he survived.
I thought he would be okay by himself overnight again, he had improved a lot in 2 days.
See how his 1 good eye is clean & clear, it was all surrounded with mucus on the 1st day, he also gained a lot of energy back, whenever he was not sleeping.
But, on the 1st night he wasn't climbing around,
he wasn't trying to move at all except when eating, because he was suffering so badly.
Maybe he was trying to climb, & became stuck?
He had started climbing the cage walls a little bit last night, before I left him to go back inside for bed.
I was happy to see he had some strength in him.
Maybe I should have just let him go at that point, :( despite him still being sick, & wounds not healed.
I was planning to release him into the woods after he had healed up.
I do not know what happened, I just wish I hadn't left him alone, should have been watching him all night, making sure he wasn't struggling with anything.
Mother F#@(%! God D@&&$!
F#@$
So furious at myself.
After he fought through so much pain & suffering, I find him like that, so stupid!!!!!!
I just cannot believe it.
Now I would never leave a sick animal unattended in a cage with bars, tempting them to climb around & putting them at risk of an accident, always put in a box with solid walls, whenever they cannot be monitored.
Just like that, gone, I am so heartbroken.
What's freaking me out is his 1 good eye is not deteriorating.
He has been dead for hours but his eye still looks alive, I wish so badly that he was!!!
The sweetest little rat, never tried to bite me, & he loved being petted.
God D@##!%

Partaking in some yummy yummies!
I become SUPER irritable when I go without eating whole fruits.
Like Jekyll and Hyde!
My body is normally covered with insect bites, & tree branch scratches, excuse me...lol
Not nearly as hot as the peppery milkcap, those things are super fire, cannot even eat a whole one at once they are so hot...I'm going to dry some out, ground them up, & make a hot spice. ;)
Wowwww♡♡♡Beautiful shroomy here...♡♡♡
I decided I need to make some bikini mushroom picking videos, so I can earn money doing this...LOL!
On my own time, & schedule...

I looove fresh picked, air dried mushrooms, taste like little mushroom crackers, a salty-like taste, great substitute for fried chips & processed/cooked crackers!
Unwinding with 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, a couple times a month, or a few times a year, will likely not give you heart, lung, or liver disease, but try to avoid consuming these things on a regular basis, especially if you want to age well!
I honestly, love the taste of beer, lol, just being truthful(cigarettes on the other hand, are atrocious, & need to go), & life gets VERY stressful, & sometimes an ice cold beer, really hits the spot....however, I know alcohol is not really healthy, it will wrinkle my skin, damage my liver, my arteries, my heart, & much more.
Extreme moderation should definitely be used!
The problem is, so many people abuse alcohol & tobacco products, they consume WAY too much, sometimes all day, every day.
This will make your skin look like tree bark, as will meats-very dehydrating & damaging, & completely deteriorate your body!
My belly pooch is almost gone, woohoo!!
Feels great!

Only a teeny bit lighter today :/.
I failed to eat any salad yesterday, again, 2 days in a row without whole greens, no bueno.
And no exercise yesterday, except taking Missy for a walk around the park.
Slow walking is better than nothing, but it really is not intense enough to cause significant weight loss.
Unless you walk for an extremely long time, and/or, up an incline.
The heart rate needs to be elevated, greatly, enough to make you start breathing heavily.
An elevated heart rate requires a lot of energy(calories) from the body, as fuel.
When you burn this fuel, you lose weight!
I still feel woozy & weak today, but the stomach & back pain has pretty much passed, yayeee.
Just keep at it!
After you de-bloat, lose your water retention, caused by eating foods that are smothered in processed salts, the inches will begin to melt away.

I laid down to go to sleep (hoping to feel all better by tomorrow, uhg!!) but then I got hungry lol.
Got up & made a deliiiiiiicious fruit salad:
Banana, strawberry, with my homemade coconut/hazelnut crumble I made this morning, topped with fresh lemon juice, SO yummy.
I did not feel like filming, & uploading, which takes a long time for a high def video, just snapped a photo.
Got my legs in the shot, to make the photo more exciting LOL, let's be honest, people love seeing skin, don't lie.... ;)-
Our bodies are a beautiful creation of nature.
The Lord Almighty created our bodies, right?? Every.....part ;)...no shame.
No need to pretend like you are a nun or a priest.
(Booorrrriinnngggg)
Although the word "priest" is somewhat losing it's credibility lately isn't it...yikes!
Jokies...XO
Silly how many religions act like our bodies were created by Satan, & being nude, or engaging in intimacy, is just pure evil....lol.
Such nonsense....do not fall for it!
You know it's late, when you go from fruit salad, to Satan, in one paragraph....lol.
Night-night!

Only about 1 pound lighter today. :(
Probably because I didn't eat any salad yesterday, & I didn't do any exercise at all yesterday, except roll around on the floor, in agony lol.
So, screw it, I'm going to eat a whole pizza, & a dozen donuts today, & just live life overweight, who cares.
;)-
Kidding!
I feel super weak & light headed, my back & stomach hurt, but I'm going to go grocery shopping, for kale & more coconut!
Or, maybe send my brother to the store for me LOL.
That is what brothers are for! ;)-
He is the sweetest, I am getting him to lose weight also!
Earlier this year he weighed 250 lbs, he is down to 231 now!
We both struggle with our weight, & overeating.
My brother is vegan too!
After I decided to go vegan, I made him sit down & watch animal slaughter videos.
He didn't want to be any part of that nonsense.
I asked him "This is horrible right?"
He said "yea".
My brother is a sweetheart ♡♡♡.
Even before he went vegan, he never had an interest in fishing, or hunting, or any such activity that involves bullying & hurting animals, he just loves to play video games, fair enough!

Oooooouuucchhhh :( :( :(
I am SO, ready....for menopause.
Please, hurry up already, I am so sick of this.
Pretty sure I do not want to bring any children into this embarrassing, shameful, violent, unhealthy, ignorant, materialistic, careless society, overpowered by greedy, lying, money hoarding, gold leaf toilet paper tyrants, which are worshipped & supported by brainwashed masses of impoverished people, so bring it on, ASAP!!!!!
That is honestly the way I feel, I cannot help it.
There are plenty of unfortunate, orphan babies in the world.
I could always adopt.
Children are a sweet joy, don't get me wrong.
But, they only stay little & adorable for like 5 minutes, then boom, they are adults LOL.
Is there a pill to keep babies little?
May just be the PMS talking LOL.
Honestly, even though my children would be absolutely beautiful, SUPER healthy/lean (raw vegan since conception), calm, well mannered("please"/"thank you"), kind, love all animals, talented, brilliant, & perfect, ;)-...
I really enjoy just living my life, & not having to worry about any children.
Life is stressful enough. :/
So no, I will not carry your baby, con someone else into it LOL ;)-.
That one was bad, sorry...just jokes.....!!!
XOXOXO
My children would also be raised on, healthy, human milk.
Not cow, goat, or rhinoceros milk....weird!
Plus, the sad reality is:
Humans = pollution.
This was never nature's intention for us, but this is the road we have chosen.
The Industrial Revolution catapulted us onto a devastating, toxic path, that we are not willing to stray from now, because we are too comfortable with our modern conveniences.
We are destroying the Earth, & even polluting the space around the Earth!
Eliminating habitats, & killing animals.
Unless you are living in a cave, never buy anything, wearing leaves as clothes, & foraging/growing all your own food.
Is anyone doing that, or planning on it?

How ya like 'dem salads....
I recall a weight loss commercial I saw, many years ago, for some kind of diet pill or diet drink, do not remember exactly, saying
"Lose 5 pounds in 5 days!"
Shhiiiiiii, I'll double that, for free:
SALADS, fruits, veggies, COCONUT, exercise,
no meat, no eggs, no dairy, no fattening food or drinks (or, just a few bites/sips, at the most).
Get started today! XOXOXO
Shed 15 pounds in just 1 week, eating as much (healthy) food as you want!

Hu? What?

Yesterday I weighed in at 134.8!
Rawesome!
I step on the scale every...morning, completely nude (no extra weight lol), in the morning, after I use the restroom, & before I eat breakfast.
The only exercise I did yesterday was a quick ab workout right before bed.
Eating raw food all day did the trick!

Love my new 100% cotton short-shorts!
One problem....they do...not fit lol.
I bought them anyway, a few more pounds to shed.
I am around 134 lbs right now. (I am 5'9" tall)
The tag just says "Medium", this brand runs very small.
TO CLARIFY....I do not eat 100% raw every day.
I still struggle with temptation & overeating on fattening foods, especially when I feel depressed, & do not care...lol.
Staying raw is also a challenge when I get really hungry, & there is nothing but cooked food around me.
Some raw vegans claim they have not consumed 1 single spoonful of cooked food, in years & years.
To be brutally honest, I simply do not believe it.
I think the only way anyone could, truly, pull that off, is to exile themselves to a deserted tropical island, void of stores & restaurants lol.
Cooked food is everywhere, it is much more abundant, & available.
I believe all raw vegans eat a bite or two of cooked food every now & then, over the years.
Are they still raw vegans?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
If you eat some of gramma's mashed potatoes, you are kicked out of the, elite, raw vegan club!
:)
Of course they are still raw vegans.
I think anyone who:
truly believes that uncooked plant foods
provide the greatest health benefits,
promotes raw veganism to others,
& eats a lot of raw food,
is a genuine raw vegan. :)
Many people do-not-believe that raw is better!
I had an omni chef tell me once:
"A raw vegan diet will kill you faster than anything".
LOL
I see many people greatly stressing themselves out, worrying about eating 100% raw.
Do not stress about this!
ABSOLUTELY, aim to eat 100% RAW every-day.
Just remember, wandering off the raw path, after a while, is normal, & I believe it happens to all raw vegans.
So do not get down on yourself, but continue to progress in the raw(right) direction!
Exercise/running, lots of juicy fruits-raw greens-coconut meat,
will get me into these little shorts!
Exercise is not required to lose weight, raw food will burn away excess body fat on it's own.
Exercise just gets you to your goal much faster, & also firms & tones the muscles.

The beautiful Spanish Peaks,
view from La Veta.
I LOVE this cute little town, gorgeous views, deer everywhere, & I saw a llama farm!
Some laps I swim wall-to-wall using only my arms, & some I swim using only my legs.
Great training for when I find myself having to swim with encumbered legs, or arms.
You never know what is coming next, around the mysterious corner of life!
Filming the lap pool may be restricted , I will find out, for future swimming videos.
I loooooooovvvvveee being in water, will be driving to an ocean soon, maybe California (have not been there in almost 10 years, & I want to hike Mount Whitney)...or maybe Florida again...(or perhaps a foreign beach, who knows!!!) after I explore more of fantastic, beautiful Colorado.

Made it!
A solo hike up & down, but I met many nice people along the way. :)
What an amazing feeling, finally reaching the summit of the tallest mountain in Colorado, 2nd tallest peak in all the -contiguous- United States, just under Mount Whitney in California.
(Alaska houses all the tallest US mountains, someday...lol)
Standing on the tippy top of Mount Elbert, Mount Massive (2nd highest peak in Colorado) behind me.
My legs & feet are no more!
Approx.14,440 feet...into the sky.

I have not spent more than 1 night in the same place since I left Trinidad....I am soooo tired.
Looking for the right place to settle, & calm down!
Sleeping in my tent tonight, right next to Turquoise Lake, sooo serene out here, accept for the rude campers blasting their radio, & yelling, disturbing to the animals & other campers.
Please be a quiet, courteous camper, don't be a Loud Lenny or Noisy Nancy!

The floor seriously feels so good!
Helps with upper & lower back pain, relieves tension in the spine.
Cure neck & shoulder pain, go pillow-less, just a thin padding for the cheekbones.
It really works!
Laying flat on a hard surface is absolute heaven for the spine.

Aaahhhh, finally, found a motel with a nice, new, clean bathtub, score.
Only showers since I left Texas.
Baths help keep me sane!
I like to take at least 2 baths a day, 1 in morning, & 1 before bed.
So sleepy, all the driving.
Happy to be here!

Tummy & tush workout dunn, feeling good. I need to get to tanning again, going to be hiking into the middle of the mountains and laying out nudie!
En route to Colorado. Florida is hot too, I really want to get to a cooler place right now.
I know everyone wants more body pix, but sometimes I feel like a gruesome troll, and do not want to be in front of a camera.
Today I feel like a pretty troll.
With tight tush & tummy after this workout.
Just had a lovely "Spanglish" conversation with the housekeeper.

I let Rocky in the front yard without a leash, he ran off after a neighborhood cat (I hope he didn't hurt the cat), & the cat scratched his forehead.
I guess letting him out without a leash was not good overall.

I scavenged through the woods and collected these bones for the big dogs to chew on.
It is good for dogs to have something to chew on and keep themselves occupied, so they do not become bored and get into trouble.
Plastic, synthetic fabric, & chemically dyed fabric toys are not healthy for babies, or pets to chew on.
Neither are processed food products.
Humanely harvested, free, & all natural animal bones are a healthier alternative.
Some dogs like to chew on bones, and some do not.
My mother's poodle does not care for them, but Rocky loves them.
He would grab them and eat them anyway, if he was with me, so, what the hay... I believe it is okay.
They also eat fish bones off the shore, when we go to the lake or beach.
These bones have been in the woods, out in fresh air, & cleaned under the sun.

Crazy cat lady, & crazy bug lady...
Cicadas are sooo cute!
Their legs pinch a little bit, but they are not biting.
This one has been sitting on my leg forever, & another beautiful green bug came to visit.
Mosquitos are biting me, they are not fun.

Love my new $1.00 elephant notebook, so cute, all mine, you can't have it.
Unless you go...buy one..also..
Looking at this notebook transports me to Africa. I can hear the djembe drums when I open it every time I need to write down some boring, annoying information, like how to upload large video files with FTP, I pause and reassure myself... at least I'm in beautiful Africa with the sweet elephants... All thanks to this wonderful notebook.
Hunt elephants...burn in hell...

A beautiful tan is hard work!
You got to maintain... Have to sit under the sun and sweat, but that is very good for the metabolism, so it is a win/win... Lots of winning going on here :).
Yet another thing I have always been taught, & recently discovered is completely false, the myth that the sun will destroy the skin.
Sunlight is actually wonderful for the skin.
I have noticed my skin always feels more tight and smooth after a good day of tanning!
Here is a list of things that actually do cause the skin to wrinkle and sag:
Mental stress
Sleep deprivation
Meats/fish
Dairy
Eggs
Alcohol/wine
Cigarettes
Refined salts
Refined sugar/sweeteners
Most store bought skin products
Breads/pastries
Processed foods/edible products
Cooked food
Lack of raw antioxidants
Lack of raw, plant fats, and proteins
Working in an environment where there is a lot of cigarette smoke
Lack of exercise
Pharmaceuticals
Chemical laden or harsh treatments
Continuous bloating & excess weight
Lack of direct sunshine
Lack of fresh, outdoor air
Cold temperatures
Sleeping face down
----
Raw plant food, particularly a high-fat & high-protein diet, sunshine, exercise, avoiding cigarettes & alcohol, & avoiding unnatural products are all top ways to preserve the skin!
That went off on a tangent, I will create a whole page on this topic.

More muscle now than ever!
Although I did not sleep well last night.. obviously.. not enough beauty sleep, look like the beast!
I like to support the whole fruit stands at convenience stores.
Many nights I have traveled through remote towns, where a gas station was the only store open!
This store has nice mangos!

Missing the birds terribly. Their sweet little sounds, having them around, watching them, & taking care of them.
A bag of bird seed still sits in the closet. Still finding loose feathers around when I clean, their empty cages...all stabs me in the heart when I see it. Life without them is becoming normal, I hate it.
I do not see how I can ever forgive myself for allowing Harley to be around their cage for too long, without checking up on them. Forgiveness I do not deserve.
"Out of sight, out of mind"...I am forgetting about them more & more, which makes me feel bad.
Throughout the day, every time I remember them, I close my eyes and think to myself "Oh my God, my babies."
💔💔💔🖤🖤🖤

Have you eaten any raw, whole, uncooked & unprocessed foods today?
I am enjoying these beautiful, organic gems...red plum, green pear, and banana.

Palo Duro again!
HOT, with very mean lady horse flies, I had to wear leggings they were biting so bad. Known to obtain blood protein, to produce eggs, only the females bite..;)- Yes, we are a bunch of witches...
Walking through this wonderous place was awesome, would love to go back & see more.

Ute Trail...the dandilions love it here, they are huge!

It is great to be back in beautiful Colorado...Spanish Peaks behind me.
I still feel like literally clawing my own eyes out every time I stop & remember what happened to the birds, but there is nothing I can do about it...
Going to try to enjoy Colorado, but I feel guilty enjoying anything! 💔🖤

1 cat left, after her, no more.....fin.
Supposing, I live longer...
I have had this cat nearly 10 years.
I had Honey🐤 about 8 years, Bubby🐦 for about 2 years.
I feel like maybe I should have never adopted the birds,💔 but then they would have never met...they loved each other so much, I hope they are still together.🐤🐦

Sometimes I just have to lay down, literally nauseous/sick to my stomach, I miss my little feather babies.💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
It is really beginning to sink in... the terror & pain they went through.
Imagine, if a giant monster broke into your home, put you in it's mouth, & began chewing on you, until you died.
I am not angry with Harley, she's a dog, & dogs will be dogs.
The accident was not her fault it was my fault.
I know I should not replay the horror film in my head, over and over, only torturing myself, I can only imagine what happened, but I also feel guilty just forgetting about them and acting like everything is fine.
I know birds and other animals are unfortunately attacked and killed, all day everyday in the wild, but that is not comforting.
I just cannot believe it.
When I was outside this morning I instinctively leaned over and picked some fresh seeds, that I gave to them everyday to eat, but right after I pick the seeds I remembered they are gone.
🖤🖤🖤

Organic, Fresh, & Free
Bunches & bunches of organic, wild, seeded grapes, picked some while running with the dogs today, I am going back, with a basket...
Planned a road trip to Colorado a couple weeks ago, boyfriend has never been!
I have to go with a freshly broken heart now. "Happiness is a choice."
Even when your heart is bleeding & your soul is crying...
Lots of fresh grapes for the road, even though I do not deserve them.
💚
I was completely broke & hungry when I made this YouTube video, a while ago..stranded with an empty gas tank, in some little town, not Texas...somewhere in Florida I believe.
I packed a bag with my video camera & bikini, and walked a few blocks, in super hot weather, until I found a nice nature area, to put a smile on my face & film, to generate some business, to get some cash, to buy gasoline, and get something to eat.
I was in that situation many, many times during my travels, it was normal.
Long story short, things are usually not what they seem...😳
💚
6-29-2018
Black-eyed peas & yellow bell pepper seeds I planted are sprouting, both organic 💚.
But I don't care.
Any brief distraction from my guilt-ridden grief, is followed by the terrible realization, once again, that my precious little babies🐥🐦suffered a terrifying & painful attack, due to my neglect, & are gone from my life forever.💔🖤.

Another aching hole in my heart.🖤
Both my little feather babies died yesterday.🐤🐦💔💔 I had them for many years, & it ends with Harley getting restless, & breaking their cage open.
Show no mercy on my idiot soul!
You can never be too cautious with life.
I am consumed with guilt, and horror. My boyfriend found both of them, they are now wrapped in tissue paper, resting, together, I cannot say goodbye yet. I don't want to be awake, just go back to sleep, & never wake up🖤💔. Day 1, without the sound of Bubby's chirping in the morning. I hope they are happily flying high, together forever, in the clouds.🐤🐦 I cannot believe it, & feel guilty doing anything but grieving. Don't ever want to adopt another animal again, it's just me in this madness from now on.

One day at work, many moons ago, (I was around 24 years old) I was eating a piece of chocolate cake on my break, a male employee walked by (elderly man) and told me "You need to watch what you eat! Keep your shape!". Nearly 15 years later... Hope that cake didn't hurt too much! ;)-
I have been a hermit lately, so glad I got out for a walk today, a glorious time!

I was afraid I was going to die lol, strong, cold winds... steep, scary mountain! My 4th hike on Black Cloud Trail. I got lost off the trail, wasted time, and had to turn back before I reached the top. Have to go back in a few months during summer time! I'm so thankful to still be alive and typing this from a comfy warm bath tub!
Worse than I thought.. drying out & pulling my skin, grrrr, oh well could be worse, applying moisturizer lol.
Scratched my leg on Black Cloud, :(
3rd time hiking Black Cloud Trail.
I began around 12pm, too late again, I had to turn back before sunset. I hiked 2.5 hours in, then back, 5 hour total. 1 hour longer than 2nd time, so I learned a lot! I saw 1 other person the entire time.
Trying my best to lean back and take a cool photo, without sliding down this super steep edge of Mount Elbert!
