Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Welcome Danna, You know it's funny, Wayne and I were just discussing this last night. We have gained so much knowledge about health and eating over the past years that we can't help but share it with whomever we meet. We've learned some hard lessons too - most of which is that there are people out there that are so brainwashed by society that they will never open themselves up to a better way towards health. These are the people we have learned to "change the subject" with rather quick before getting into a debate. Heck, most of my family believes me to be a witch because I use "alternative" ways of healing. I've learned to accept it and focus my energy on teaching those that "want" to be taught. The people that come to our farm (to get unprocessed dairy products) are so hungry for information - which we do our best to provide. These people are the ones that we focus on - those that want to learn. They've brought so much joy to our lives and make our newfound job easy! You can build a fence Danna - just make it a short one. It's so much easier to focus on the people that are ready for change - and just walk away from those that don't. It's hard not to be excited though, I know! It's hard not to spread the word, I know! But after a time it becomes easier once you learn how to deal with the non-believers. Starting a Weston A. Price Chapter in your area is a wonderful way to meet the people who are on the same wave length as you. It might be something to consider. All the best, Janet Brunner Hi. My name is Danna and I've been here a month or so. I've posted a few times...mostly with questions. I'm 36, married, live in the is what got me started on all this. He presents 3 profound principles, "Eat what God has given for food", "Do not alter what God gave as food" and "Don't let any food become your God". Well that put a damper on my grocery shopping and here I am 3 years later buying raw milk, grass fed beef, organic veggies, free range biodynamic chickens and eggs....the list goes on.However since I'm the type of person who likes to tell everyone in the whole world what I'm doing and why they should do it too....life has become increasingly complicated when it comes to friends and family. Even meeting new friends is difficult because it doesn't take long for people to figure out that we live an "alternative" lifestyle and..."we're really weird".I feel I'm at a cross road today. I'm torn between building a fence around my world, never talking to anyone about health again and becoming the local resident expert/chapter leader/organizer/raw milk lobbyist/educator/Bible study leader etc. etc. etc...

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Danna, I was very interested in your post. Your feelings pretty much mirror mine except that I may be a little more frustrated than you (explanation to follow). I am an R.N.-decided to go that route because I have always been interested in health. Although I have throughout my life continued to grow and change, I have known few people who share my passion. I feel like I had sortof built the fence and now I'm ready to risk tearing it down. The reason why is that it is difficult to completely isolate yourself and your family from the outside world, nor is it desirable in other ways. I have tried to " do my own thing " and yet live in the world as it is. Especially because of having children, I find that I am continually barraged by junk food-at school, at church, at neighbor's and friend's houses, at relative's houses, when you participate in sports, when you sign your children up for a day of activities somewhere and of course at birthday parties and on and on. Although I have always voiced my displeasure whenever I felt I could or more positively, made suggestions on how to make things healthier, I felt like I had no right to force my ideas or way of life on others. Well, obesity and other food-related health problems continue to rise and I have decided that this is not working for me or " them " . So, I am ready to " come out of the closet " and let the mainstream people know how I live and what I eat in the hopes that it may catch on. I plan to offer a new way of looking at food and health and have faith that it will click with enough people that maybe big change will occur. > It's like the message of salvation and Jesus Christ...I feel like I'm > walking around with information that could help so many > people.....but don't have the self esteem to let the negatives roll > off my back....but I won't quit.....so the anxiety just mounts. The courage to do this doesn't come easily. I am relying on God to help me out as I feel like this is God's message as well. My husband is my biggest (what is the opposite of supporter?) obstacle- and certainly doesn't feel comfortable about me presenting at church. I just feel like I have accepted what other people do and eat all of these years, when I thought it was weird. Now it is my turn! > I'm trying really hard to define what drives me (crazy in some cases) > and why this " tug " on my heart is so relentless.

I absolutely do this! I wonder why people say they are concerned about their health and that of their children and yet make so many exceptions with what they feed them that life becomes only a series of exceptions! I wonder why people don't put two and two together-your actions should match your goals and desires. That's why I feel like I have kept my mouth closed for too long. All of the pieces are falling into place and I can't be stopped now! You are not alone. And you have helped me in my journey. Thanks. Kathy > Hi. My name is Danna and I've been here a month or so.
