My little girl is now three. When she was one, I remember being at the park with her and I saw an older couple pushing a baby on a swing. They told me it was their granddaughter. They said something that I will never forget: "We were too busy working to spend time with our own children as they were growing up, we learned from our mistake and want to spend as much time with our grandchildren."

Over the last few months, I've pushed my efforts to spend more time with my little girl and my wife.  They have been the best three months of my life! It's not easy working, getting enough sleep and spending a good amount of time each day with my family, but it is possible and I'm making it happen.

My next goal is to spend more time with friends and get to know them, but one step at a time!

It all comes down to putting porities in place.

• I know there is a Creator and He has revealed his plans for me. Not to worry about storing my treasures here on earth but to store them in the eternal afterlife.
• Eating the best way possible. I've experimented with many different ways of eating a raw food diet, but keep coming back to keeping it simple and eating less processed and more locally-grown food. I eat a lot of local fruits and something green everyday like kale or salad greens, and try not to eat too late. Simple!
• Getting enough sleep every night. This is my biggest challenge, but I am doing pretty well at getting 8 hours a night. I'm just so excited about life it's hard to fall asleep as early as I'd like.
• Exercise. Get off my butt and move and breathe each day and have fun doing it!
• Spending time with my wife and child. I can't believe how blessed I've been, I am and I will be. I get to spend my life with the perfect woman for me and now I have a mini version of her. Amazing.

We have been to the beach about 18 days in the last 23 days or something like that. I have developed a passion for swimming in the ocean.

I haven't used my juicer in about 2 months and besides almond milks, not even my blender. Just keeping it super simple: brake, peel and eat!

If you know me and you are reading this, it may all sound familiar to you. I have written a book, The Raw Life, about keeping the diet simple and enjoying life. So often, people tell me that book introduced them to the raw food diet and changed their life.

We don't have control over everything, but we can pray right, eat right, sleep right, exercise right, and we will have energy to enjoy life.  Have a great raw life everyone! I know I am.
