I'm a raw and living foodest. For those of you who are unfamiliar with what that is I only eat foods that have not been cooked. I do this because it maintains all of the nutrients and enzymes intact and is much healthier. I'm not here to try to convert anyone. I think you can reach maximum health by eating all kinds of foods fixed all kinds of ways. This is simply my life choice. What I'm here to do is help educate people as to what is happening to thier food. Did you know that the pharmaceutical companies have lobbied to have a law voted on called "Codex Aimentarius" that will take away our freedom to take suppliments? It has already been implemented in Europe. Of course it is still ok for them to put steroids, antiboitics and harmones in our foods. Have you wondered why there is a great influx of people acting aggressively and out of character? I'm here to help guide you through this mess. If you want to eat meat...eat meat...just get chemically free meat. I'm here to help you understand what is happening to you.

I'm currently expecting my first child and my due date is fast approaching. I recently told my husband that I'm hurt that no one has offered to throw a baby shower even though everyone around us (family, friends, coworkers, church members) knows that we are expecting. He said that I should throw a baby shower for myself. I'm afraid that it would be a breach of etiquette and come across as greedy. With our current financial situation, the gifts would be helpful, but I want the shower more for the companionship and celebration that comes with it.
1) Would you consider it greedy if someone were to invite you to a baby shower they were throwing for themself?
2) What would you do in this situation?
Why not do something a little different that hasn't been done before and there is no precedence. Why not have a "Last Blast" party. The concept here is to invite everyone over for a last grownup party. Your inviting couples. Then, as I'm sure conversation will allow, you will talk about the up and coming event. I'm sure people will ask you about showers and parties etc. You can let them know then that no one has come forward to give you a shower. Do it in a sweet way. Also, why not go to your family and ask someone to throw you a shower. If it's because they don't want to do anything tell them you will take care of everything just host the party for you. You would then so everything from send out the invitations, coming up with party them/food, and cleaning up. I wouldn't think you would have to do everything really...just offer it. If one person doesn't want to be bothered why not ask several family members to do it together. Let them know you would be there to help if you can. Your husband can go to his side of the family and solicit. I'm sure they are all just caught up in their lives and just haven't noticed. There are a lot of distractions happening all around us these days. I wish you the best of luck!
Namaste!
