The Start of Something Wonderful

I can honestly say if I died tomorrow it would be after a life of abundance, prosperity and happiness.  I have always felt very blessed but now I am acutely aware I live an enviable life.    My time abroad has been better than I could have imagined.   I have absolutely no regrets nor would I change a thing. 

To all my friends and family, thank you for your support and kind words over the past year.  I look forward to reconnecting and hearing all about the changes in your lives.  And although this is the end of a great adventure, I am about to embark on a glorious future.  I am stronger, more confident, and proud to be me.   Even if my life goes against the grain I will continue to live my life the way I choose.  

I am looking forward to the beginning of a new chapter in my life.  This is the start of something wonderful.

Time for a Change

My time at the Ann Wigmore Institute has been profound.  I have learned and experienced lessons that are life changing.  I have never felt such vitality, so alive, and so balanced.  Staying at AWI has reminded me my health takes priority and I plan to make changes in my life to support this.

It can be difficult for me to clearly communicate my lifestyle choices without feeling like an outcast- and I know I have done some weird things in the past (amethyst in water, sauna in my living room, inversion sling...).  Through all my kookiness my family and friends have always support me.  

My return home means I will be reintegrating my life with all of you.  Although I don`t feel like a different person, I have probably changed on many levels.  I want to share the dietary changes I am committing to upon my return so no one is surprised and I can feel supported...

•   I do not drink alcohol
•   I do not eat animal products of any kind including dairy
•   I do not eat processed foods (basically anything that comes in a package)
•   I avoid eating cooked foods including cooked grains, breads, and cooked vegetables
•   Whenever possible I consume a diet of organic, raw, living, and fermented foods
•  For my personal situation it is best to obstain from most fruits (temporary) 

To summarize, I plan to eat an alkalizing diet that is enzymatically alive and which balances the flora in my body.   The approach is not as restrictive or as boring as it sounds, and the results are worth it.  Since arriving at AWI I have personally met people who have cured themselves of cancer, reversed heart disease, reversed diabetes and eliminated the need for pharmaceuticals-with food alone.  It is mind blowing.

What does all this mean for you?  Nothing really.  I do not want anyone to go out of their way for me.  I can still go out for dinner and to the bar.  It just means I will be ordering a salad and drinking Perrier with lime.  I do not judge anyone who lives a different lifestyle than me.  We are all on our individual paths and I respect that.   

I will continue to enjoy my final days in paradise but am eagerly awaiting my flight on April 19th.  Thinking of home but happily abroad,

Carrie
