Oh well.<BR/>Misfortune...or is it Miss Fortune?<BR/>And as for the fast....these things are good to do. Giving the body a break from porcessed stuff is good. Even better is having the intention and carrying it out. That alone is very self-empowering.<BR/>I once did a five day fast ( with a half gallon of juice a day and water). By day two , I no longer had the patience for anything confrontational. It became very very peaceful. I don't know what came over me but I went some place (new wave was in at the time and I did some work on a night club so had in.....) and I broke the fast with 3 martinis.
