Staying on the path while moving!

O.K. I have been very busy because I'm moving from my beautiful home in Port Townsend WA. to Portland Oregon where I grew up. My daughter Inian is going to attend a wonderful new School. Many changes for us both.

I want to tell you that it has been difficult to eat all the foods that are best for my body while creating this new life. I even went to a cooked vegan Thai food restaurant with my daughter and ate some yummy coconut soup. My body did o.k. but I felt a little sick. I am figuring out how to best support my live food life style while things are in a whirlwind.

I'm spending my days driving my daughter 45 minutes to school, looking for a place to live, taking care of life's necessities, and getting our needs met. I'm slowly figuring out what works best. An emotional response I'm having to being uprooted and whirling around this big city is eating too many nuts.

I am starting to realize what I need to do to feel my best. The first thing is to plan my day the night before so I know if I need to prepare food to bring with me. When I go to my son's house I will bring a bag of veggies and make a salad when I get there. If I will be driving around all day I will make a green smoothie and bring it with me, or I will just stop at Peoples Co-op and get a snack.

The easiest way to always have filtered water on hand is to have a water bottle with a filter built in.

I think I have found the right house for us. It has many fruit trees, berry bushes, a garden patch and is near a big beautiful park. I will let you know how I succeed in taking care of myself while on this journey, for it will be a few weeks before we move into our new home.

Love to you all,
Susan~!~
