Leona,

Have patience it will all slowly start coming together with perserverance, in both your cooking/eating and in your continued learning.

Do get in touch with Leslie Ashburn . I know Hawaii is big and I've forgotten which island she's on, but she'd be a great contact for you - she's a very committed mb person, gives monthly mb dinners, has a blog and I'm sure plenty more. And if you don't live near her, she could probably put you in touch with anyone who might be.

Also look on health food stores bulletin boards, or put up your own notice that you're looking for others practicing mb.
