Wardeh, I have thoroughly enjoyed your blog this year. It is refreshing to read about treating food in a way that respects the source (Earth and all God’s creatures) and us (our bodies) as well. The reasons behind the actions are also great for me, as I tend to remember what I understand more than simply “this is what you need to do” with no further explanation. So thank you!

Tiffany, it is interesting that many people will criticize others for the way they choose to eat. It does not matter if it is for special health reasons or environmental or no reason at all beyond not liking a certain food. We all identify closely with our food choices and sometimes it feels like a personal attack when someone says ” I can’t/won’t eat what you’re offering me ” or if they notice you won’t eat what they will and vice versa. Sometimes it seems very close to religious beliefs in how important it is to people. It helps me to remember this when my own food choices and needs are criticized or ignored. They are taking care of their own needs so you take care of yours!

Shyla – Good to meet you! Be sure to let me know how the dietary changes are going for you – especially with regard to the wheat allergy.

Tiffany – I’m sorry you had a bad day. It is hard for me to imagine that people would be negative around you – don’t they know your history and the miraculous healing from Crohn’s, facilitated by good food? But I guess I can understand that this tends to happen – we’ve faced similar negativity even though it was clear that good food was helping us. Your question gives me a good idea for a post, so watch for it soon.

Sonya – Thank you, friend!

I am very much looking forward to the year to come, and what is in store with your site. And REALLY grateful that I am able to meet like minded people online. Sometimes it is very difficult to be “different” from those around me, especially family members.
I am just wondering if you or any of your readers have any advice for dealing with negativity in regards to how you(I) choose to feed your(my) family. Most of the time it is easy going, but once in a while I feel like people around me are trying to sabotage what I am working so hard at, in feeding and teaching my family about real food.
I guess I am just looking for a little support right now, it was sort of a bad day.
Thanks!

Wardeh, I am a new follower of your blog. I am so enjoying reading all your materials – and am especially interested as my husband has a wheat allergy and a few other issues that I am hoping we can address dietarily. I loved your addition on the difference between goals and resolutions, and the author clinched it for me with the ending of Do The Next Thing – one of my very favorite poems. God bless 2010 for you and yours.
