Well it has been an emotional past few weeks, but I’m happy that thoughts and feelings are flowing, as tiring as it can be!
This video is perhaps my most revealing yet. I find myself saying that a lot lately! I have opened up more and more over the past year through the beauty of this blog and now my YouTube channel. If you’ve been here with me, thank you for your support, warm thoughts and prayers! You’re the best!
Video link is here if you don’t see it below. The takeaways are difficult to put into words, but if you watch the video I think you will understand my experience. Hugs!

Laura, what a great, personal video. Thanks for sharing about your raw food fast. I love that you went with the hot cocoa because your throat was hurting and that you got right back on the bandwagon. Some people just say oh well and give up when they have a minor “slip up” but none of us are perfect, and if we give up every time we make a mistake, we’ll never get anywhere! Very inspirational.
I really understand this feeling… and how it’s not being a pessimist. For me, it’s a fear of loss. I begin to grieve losing people and things… while I still have them. And also, the birth of Cate brought up a whole host of issues and old pain that I’d been holding onto (not caused by her, of course) and they were issues I thought I’d dealt with. Here’s what I’ve realized: awareness is never bad. So you’ve realized this about yourself… and if you’re like me, perhaps you’re thinking, okay, what do I do with that? But just realizing what’s going through my mind is the beginning of the demon/pain/fear losing its grip.
Hey Laura,
I love your blog and video updates. They are so inspiring! I have been toying with the idea of doing a juice fast for a little while now but I can never bring myself to actually take the plunge. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings throughout the fast. I too am a worry wort and find it really interesting that you were able to identify this while going through your fast. I know that fasting brings up a wide array of emotions which may be why I have been putting it off. Thanks again for keeping us posted on your progress. I look forward to your updates.
Hi Christina,
Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m glad you are finding the raw food posts helpful. Even though I’d heard the raw fast may make me more emotional, for some reason I didn’t think anything would surface. I feel the same way that you do…it’s better to bring these things up and deal with them now than to carry them around for years. Best of luck and look forward to connecting! xo
