Thank you Ausjulie for writing. I so appreciate your words.

Believe me I'm very human. I have my weaknesses and they slap me upside the head every chance they can get. I do, however, prefer to focus on the positive aspects of any situation. 30 days is a loooong time and I need to stay on top of it. I can't allow me to bring myself down by focusing on the negative. Yes, I've done this before and each time succeeded in reaching the end of the fast with my sanity intact. And I believe that's because I try to consistently see the beauty instead of the fugly.

I'd never heard of CureZone until two weeks ago. After browsing around, I felt I was in the midst of people who were likeminded with me. People who were interested in good health and wellbeing. People searching for answers. People who are willing to do what it takes to achieve good health. People who are willing to take responsibility for their own bad health. This is the first time I have ever done a juice fast with other people who have the same goals as I have. My family loves the juices, but are not willing to juice fast. They find it more a novel marvel (Wow! No food for 30 days! Tickets one dollar! Come see the marvel!) than a tool for dis-ease prevention. My friends are flat out not interested in fasting. Although a couple have taken an interest in adding juices to their lives. But the majority just are not on the same page with me. So, doing this blog brought me close to others who are on the same page as I am. That is quite refreshing.

So, in essence, I have connected with you as well. And I am looking forward to seeing you reach your goals. I know when it's all over with, you're going to have a sweet sense of pride and self-respect for accomplishing a feat that proved quite challenging. This will make your next juice fast easier to endure. I hope it does anyway. It did for me. Each time I do a fast, it becomes easier. But liking the juices really does go a very very long way to making the fasts endurable.

Which brings me to inner strength. You mention how you have always surrounded yourself with strong women, I am hoping you have not overlooked yourself in that catagory. You embarked on a very difficult journey all by yourself, drinking juices you could barely tolerate. But instead of giving up, you persevered. You hung in there. You stayed strong. You endured!! No one else gets credit for that.

I look forward to seeing some of your ideas and plans for when you end your fast. That could prove nearly as challenging as the fast itself. And I wish you the best.
