I've thought this many times, but this blogger says it well.

thinking, waiting to leave.

 While we sit and watch our shows, and while we browse our online stores, daily life occurrences to other people in developing nations, things us as Americans (and I am including myself in this statement!) cannot even comprehend, are going on around the world. Things like communities spending hours upon hours a day searching and fetching water, that is not even healthy drinking water. And as human beings who are born with the pleasures of showers and water fountains and gallons and gallons of water at our disposal - I don't think we can ever understand.
This is just one of the trillion+ reasons I want to go immerse myself in this life. Get out and help, get out and see, - and not just see and be enlightened to some higher cause of donating each month to my charity of choice. No, I want to go and live in it. Feel it for more then just an eye-opening vacation. I feel so much for these people and those in crisis around the world, and yet I haven't even seen them. It is only the words I read and the pictures I see that evoke this emotion. So what if i go there? I hope it will turn my life upside down (even more). For those that know me already know that I am a vegan, minimalistic lifestyle, and compassionate human, I cant wait to see the changes I would instil after experiencing everything I want to experience. I hope it will only lead me to where I want to be, which is living. Living. Living, with only a backpack on my back. The shoes on my feet, going from place to place, a wandering helper, with my babies by my side.

Lemons

I have been drinking alot more water as of lately. At least attempting to, which has been turning out rather well for me. I've been experimenting with squeezing different citris fruits into it, to give a natural zest to the water. This addition in turn is causing me to drink even more water then I normally would have. Cool shit. So far I have been using mostly lemons, but I have also used orange, and want to use lime too. 


Soeren-Raedek seems to have an affinity for lemons! He loves to suck on them!! I am finding that he likes tart things, he was taking a couple sips of my Vincent cranberry juice made in Oregon YuM yUm!! (100% all-natural pressed cranberries, without sweeteners and such) therefore it is a bit tartish. And he was totally liking it. 


AS an addition to the Food Comsumptions:
Oatmeal with banana -- liked it!
Buckwheat grouts mashed up -- mehh, not so much
Daves Killer Peace Bomb Bread -- Ate that shit UP!



OH!!! And another important update!!! He has begun to move around quite a bit. He began by popping up onto his knees, along with scootching forward whenever he was laying on his belly (kind of like an inch worm). AND!!! now he is doing an marine low crawl. His uncle Zach is in the Marines, so when I told him how Soeren was moving he said it was "Marine" crawl, not Army crawl like I had initially called it. Soon I will be posting video of this moving baby!!
