Book Cover & Preview Text
What on earth is a person who loves food doing writing a book about going without the very thing she claims to love? Well, it’s like this, I got tired of the people around me dying. Grandparents, parents, sister, cousin, aunties; lots of death, lots of sickness, lots of people thinking they were doing the right thing, the safe thing, the good and healthy thing, only to find out they weren’t. Not even close. In a nutshell: “They just didn’t know what they didn’t know.” However, in this day and age, we have far more options. We only have to ask better questions, and we will get a myriad of responses. The thing is, when you are scared and tired and in pain, that can be the hardest thing in the world to do—to ask better questions. So you go along with “whatever is best”—but for whom? Is it best for the doctor you are seeing, your partner, your family, or your well-meaning friends? Often, the decision is too hard and overwhelming to make, so you just do what you do, with the limited knowledge you have, and those close to you support you as best they can. But what if we really understood what was going on in our own bodies? What if we knew what to do when we noticed the first signs of trouble? What if we trusted that our bodies could actually heal themselves if they were supported on the journey? So that is the driving force behind this book, the book I never ever thought that I would write. It’s my way of reaching out to you, to your friend, to your mother, sister, cousin and aunty; it’s my way of inspiring you to walk a different path and to be open to another way. I also write it to challenge and expand your thoughts and get you to stop for a moment, take a breath and connect in. It’s me, your typical girl, wanting SO much more for you and your life and for all of those who are connected with you. Just a typical girl with a typical life who has discovered (or is that remembered?) an ancient truth we all have within us which is to heal and rejuvenate our body. It’s me reaching out to you from a place of wisdom to say: “Hey, what if there was another way, what if this amazing body of ours could actually heal itself, yep, wouldn’t that be nice?” So, welcome to the world of juice fasting by a typical girl.
