Hey Jenny,
I just looked around your raw food blog and I must say I really like your articles on there. I don't know so much about you though, like what you do for living and that, but it sure seems that you know a lot about raw food. It's awesome, thanks for all the info. What you wrote about grains is totally what I needed today to give me a stronger conviction that raw is the right way to go. Also, I like the way you write. You make it all very personal and you are open to state your own opinion. I like that.
Thanks,
K.C.

Dear K.C.,
Thanks for writing. I also thank you for encouraging me to write more about myself on my blog. I will do that! I am a mother of 8. Cliff and I have 7 sons and 1 daughter, oldest is 25 and youngest is 4 years old. "Only" five sons at home now. To earn a little money to help pay debts, I have been providing child care for two girls for six months, but that is over next week. I am 100% hardcore follower of Jesus and I am 100% raw vegetarian. I know I am a strange one, but doing what God has led me to do. I am 49 years old.

My husband and sons eat normal American fare, alas. I have to be quiet and be an example and pray for God to show them and lead them. I am constantly reading books on raw, healthy living and Natural Hygiene Health Science and learning more. I hope to write books or at least booklets. I have several in the works. Some day I hope to get published.

Right now I am keeping track of my 100% raw vegetarian food intake and I will write about it soon on my blog so people can see how easy it is to eat this way. I am going to call it "Jenny's Twenty Raw Days".

Last Friday I had the priviledge to hear Victoria Boutenko speak in Portland, Oregon (which is four hours south of Sequim where we live). I was able to talk to her beforehand and had her sign all four of her books that I already own and have read and re-read. There were about 150 people there! I stood up after her talk and went up front and publicly thanked her for my victory over obesity and compulsive overeating as a result of going 100% raw after reading her books. She explains so clearly in her 12 Steps to Raw Foods that for those who have food addiction problems it is especially important to eat 100% raw. Have you seen her website? www.rawfamily.com

By the way, I'd love to hear all about YOU. I love learning from other health seekers and raw vegetarians and I'd like to hear your story/history. YES YOU! Please writel me at jennysilliman@juno.com . Also, feel free to ask questions, if you want to know more.

Love in Jesus,
Jenny Silliman
