My Name is Melissa and I live in beautiful Nauvoo, IL. This is a blog to record my journey on raw food. I will share with you my first 30 days on raw food, some of my favorite recipes, and some very helpful websites. I am sharing because so many people have asked. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at ctradams@juno.com

EARTH DAY



I LOVE Earth Day! I am so grateful for this beautiful Earth my Father in Heaven gave me. I love spring and being outdoors. I love to watch the blossoms on the trees and the flowers blooming, and the beautiful serene sound of the birds in the breaking hours of the day. The beautiful world provides us with all that we need to not only live, but to love and enjoy life. The colors are breath taking and inspiring. There are scenes so beautiful that it calms my soul and delights my senses. Stress, anxiety, and worries can be eliminated with a little piece of quiet reflection in God's masterpiece we call "nature". The sounds and sights He has given us cannot be perfected. How can we show gratitude for this precious gift He has given us? Are words of gratitude enough? Use it, love it, take care of it. The best way to show our appreciation is to take care of this beautiful place we live. I really feel like my raw food life style has made me more aware and grateful for this great gift my Father has given me. I will try always to take care of this planet I have been given. Thank You Heavenly Father for this beautiful place that I live.
