I've promised to share my experience with the Raw Foods Diet, so here it goes.

Winning isn't everything if it means your health is damaged. I learned this lesson the hard way. I was a runner, "was" being the operative word. I still can't really run without feeling discomfort and pain. I trained really hard in high school and considered running competitively in college until a serious injury crippled me in the fall of my junior year of high school.

It's the strangest thing to me. I don't even really like McDonald's or their burgers, but sometimes when I'm sick of Chinese food and homesick for something familiar. I gotta have a double cheeseburger or a Big Mac. Everything at McDonald's tastes exactly same as the way in does in America.

I've always wanted to get regular massages, but I don't live a charmed life. I had never even gone to get a massage until a couple months ago. I would say that the number one perk of living in a Chinese city is the ability to walk down the street and get a high quality $2 massage whenever you like. I'm not kidding.

I have this friend, Mirena. She has completely changed my life ever since I met her over two years ago. At that time, I had really terrible back pain with lots of bleeding during my periods. Most times I would get a fever and feel nauseous as well.

Since I'm a new foster mom, (Also the reason why I haven't been blogging as much lately...) I find that my life has changed immensely. This is an understatement. Kids change everything. The main thing is that I can't leave my house whenever I want.

Do you?

I'm looking for one woman in particular and she could be just about anywhere in China. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack... I'm pretty optimistic about finding her, but I'm running out of ideas. I was hoping to get some suggestions from you guys. I'm about ready to contact a TV station to see if my story is interesting enough, but I'm not so sure.
