I missed this folder entirely skimming this place over today. Ok, here's an intro for me.
My name is Allison, and I'm an artist, 24 yrs old, and married to a computer tech named Andrew.
We have a dog and a cat for "kids" for now.
I was always feeling tired and just crappy from depression and so I came to macrobiotics looking for a way to keep my body and mind healthy, because when you feel good physically you feel better emotionally. I wasn't about to go start taking Prozac or anything for just mild depression, you know? I'm not manic or anything, I just get seasonal affective disorder (I think its called, its essentially the Winter Blues) plus my younger sister suicided in 2005 so once in a while that can drag me down. I already have a deep understanding of death, I'm not hung up on that. It's just missing a person that used to always be available to me. That's all.
I'm keeping a recipe blog at
Exploring Macrobiotics and you can view my art in two deviantart galleries. The older (with more work in it) is
allisonm on deviantART and the newer is
wonderlandalli on deviantART My big project is creating a deck of tarot cards to create a portfolio for illustration. Kinda following in my great grandfather's footsteps.
I would like to lose a little weight but am not really obsessed over it right now, to me its more important to feel great.
Oh and I don't eat meat or dairy, but will eat fish on occasion. I try to avoid foods from animals, saturated fats and all. Sugar is my weakness.
