If you have not heard the story of Hurley Thompson here it is: 10 years ago this man use to walk past my house as he would pick up my recycling and others in the neighborhood to pay for the space he rented in someones garage to sleep in…just a few miles away. Overtime as we saw him week in and week out and got to know Hurley, I would ask him to lift heavy objects in the yard as I worked with my vermicompost and odd jobs as I was soaking nuts & sprouting for us daily. I would feed him and/or pay him a few dollars for his help. As the years went by the time he helped me extended. I always told him, “Hurley, just let me know how else we can help you, we are here for you”. So, one day he asked for help, he said he needed a program to go through to show the court system that he was getting his act together. I offered to help, I asked him to watch a documentary called ” May I be Frank” http://m.imdb.com/title/tt1474792/ this is a true experience of the son of owners of “Cafe Gratitude” Matthew & Terces Engelhart that helped a man FrankFerrante detox from Cocaine & lost over one hundred pounds and get his health and life back. Hurley watched it and agreed to sign a contract with himself and us to stay in our house for 42 days, after a 10 day juice cleanse and the remainder of his stay learning the Rawfood/Vegan lifestyle and becoming Clean & Sober. Today this man rents a comfortable room inside the same house he use to sleep in the garage, He has purchased a brand new vehicle this year with good credit on his own, he has been the Secretary of his 12 step group he attends to this day regularly since the beginning, he works 3 partime jobs including RawFresno.com as one of them and today he graduated from Fresno City College with a bright future of accounting. It’s been 5 years since February 13, 2012 when his New life began. I am proud to say Hurley is one of my closes best friends I have ever had in my entire life thus far. I love you @hurley thank you for coming into our lives Rawfresno.com would not be what it is today if it wasn’t for you!

Love does not conquer all. Love is not forceful or aggressive. No matter how much you want something to be a certain way, if it is not meant to be love will not come to your defense or bend things to your will. 
You can’t help but sneeze. Love is like a sneeze, it will sneak up on you, you will have a few seconds notice and try to change its course but like a sneeze, it is going to happen. Give up the fight and let it happen because like a sneeze you never know how good or insignificant it might be and it will end eventually. So enjoy it while it lasts, the anticipation, the feelings while in it and the satisfaction after.
Your beliefs will not make you a better person, your behavior will.
The eyes are useless if the mind is blind.
People will talk about you, gossip, judge, and misunderstand you. What they think is not your problem it is just a reflection of their issues. Stay true to who you are, be authentic no matter what is said because those are not people that matter and the ones who do matter will not have a problem with who you truly are, never doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth.
You cannot make everyone think and feel as deep as you do. You might consider this your burden, a tragedy because most people don’t understand you or relate to the world the way you do. It’s not a tragedy, this is your gift, you are here to be an example of how to elevate above the human condition. Be you.
Most of the time it is not one single impactful act that causes the damage in your life. It is the length that you are exposed to that act. How long you stay in the situation either because you can’t find a way out, don’t know there is a way out, or you live there emotionally for years after it happens. Sometimes it is easy to remove yourself from the situation and other times it is not.
