Jill: Big thanks to Neeta for passing on the "inspirational blogger award"! It continues to amaze me how buoyed I feel by my fellow juice feasters. Jack and I discussed today that we might not have made it through the rough patch without this outlet and the sense of connectedness with all of you.

We continue to feel positive. Not that every minute is positive, I felt quite an emotional reaction today to a rude comment from someone in my studio building, but emotions being close to the surface can be positive, even when it is painful. In general, there is a lightness and an ability to really feel what is happening. For example, we were discussing the way that the cravings for cooked food have WAY subsided lately. There are still cravings for all sorts of things, but they are more directed now towards images of healthy, raw foods, and even these don't drive with the same force right now. For me, part of this seems to be that the cravings are showing themselves more fully in all their component parts, so instead of a simple clumsy longing for something that might seem momentarily tasty, I feel several things combined at once which I can distinguish vaguely as "aimless desire", "kneejerk compulsion", followed by "a sense that I DO NOT really want to be having this thing that I imagine having" and that last sense outweighs the addictive desire. So, my brain moves on.
