Last Friday I got a notification from WordPress congratulating me on three years of blogging. Raw Girl is officially three years old! To celebrate I am going to take a walk down memory lane this week and reblog some older posts that are my favorite. Please read through old posts and share with others in celebration of our Blogiversary!
My first reaction was excitement, but then I have to admit to you, negative Nancy started to creep in and say her piece. By the time Nancy (the negative voice in my head) was done telling me how far I was from my ultimate goal and how tired I was blah blah, I was seriously considering giving up altogether and walking away from this blog. Whenever I have those moments though, you guys, MY AWESOME READERS seem to know and I get a slew of encouraging comments and motivation to keep going. At the end of the day, this blog has always been a labor of love. My goal is to be able to live my lifestyle to the fullest and inspire as many people as possible to begin taking control of their health. In the dream that I am convinced will come true because I am very close, I will be able to do this full-time around my other artistic pursuits, and invest myself or find an investor willing to take Raw Girl to the next level. Which would include remodeling the website, lots of video, more inspiration, and more recipes. Until that time, I’m here. Although I get tired sometimes, I know that every journey to a dream takes time.
I’ve come a long way from zero readers to over 15,000 of you all over the world a month. Please know that I appreciate your support and your willingness to receive the inspiration that I intend to give. Some of you have sent me unsolicited donations, you know who you are and I thank you. If you want to give back share the blog with a friend, or buy my e-book. Finishing my second e-book soon, putting in work today on a really awesome juice recipe book and detox plan. This blog journey has taught me patience, and also the importance of doing the work, one day at a time. Just like sticking to a new lifestyle or changing your eating habits, it’s best to focus on doing what you need to do each day, and letting the rest take care of itself. -XoXo RawGirl
Xoxo thanks for the inspiration<3

Dear Raw Girl: Before anything, I would like to congratulate you on your amazing work and dedication. Your fun and unique ways of expressing your love for raw foods and healthy living really inspires me. I love what you do and how you do it. I wish you only the best during your wonderful journey and us readers believe in your potential to make it wherever you want to take this.
I would also like to thank you for not giving up on us and keep sharing your experience and knowledge. You have inspired me to start my own blog, http://www.veggieflow.com and although I don’t have as much experience with writing as you do, I must say that it has made my journey a lot easier because I feel like I’m not on my own anymore.
The world needs more healthy minds and bodies to take leadership in order to achieve a more peaceful world, and maybe that is our role.
Cheers to many more blogiversaries!
Much Healthy Love,
Veggie Flow.
Veggie Flow: Thank you very much for your kind words & best with your new blog!!! -XoXo
