The Temptations
You know what one of the hardest things about going on this real food journey…the temptations. The cute cookies, the chocolate cakes and bakery treats. You see them everywhere and man do they ever smell so good. It takes so much will power to turn away and most days my 'will power' is already over there licking the icing.
The 5 stages of Hunger
Have you ever been tempted to go to the Golden Arches? I haven’t eaten Mc D’s in well over 4 months, so for me to have this craving, it wasn’t just a ‘well I could have one’ my stomach was like ‘WE ARE HAVING ONE.’ The kind of cravings that take over your whole body and you can’t think about anything else….
Dessert for Dinner
I had gotten a new recipe and I really wanted to try it and not having a clock that works in your kitchen makes it hard to keep track. So I am cutting up the apples for my Apple Crumble and my honey walks in the door..

In the poorest communities around the world, women and girls are often the ones tasked to collect water, firewood or other basic necessities of life. They walk on average 6 kilometres a day (approximately 8,000 steps) while carrying the equivalent of a suitcase. This leaves little time to attend school, access health services or earn money to support their families.
Yet CARE knows that when women and girls are empowered to tackle these issues, whole families and communities directly benefit. This is why CARE believes the empowerment of women and girls is instrumental in the fight against poverty.
To help break the cycle of poverty and in celebration of the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day (March 8, 2011) I’ve decided to join CARE Canada’s Walk in Her Shoes challenge. I will make a difference for women, girls and whole communities living in poverty around the world.
I will be walking 6 kilometres every day from March 2nd, finishing on March 8th (International Women’s Day) to raise funds to help fight global poverty. I need your support to reach my fundraising goal!
Taking part is easy, you can register as an individual or as a team and get your group, school or workplace involved in this national challenge.

Please support my walk in her shoes challenge by making a donation today!
All donations will go to CARE Canada to empower women, girls and whole communities to improve their lives and the lives of those around them.
Together we can make a difference!
You will help communities earn a living, access education, health care, clean drinking water and so much more.
She has the power to change her world.
You have the power to help her do it.
