A decision


I don't know if you are familiar with the fast that Mia Farrow and other international celebrities are doing to bring attention to Darfur. The public is also able to join, and I have. fastdarfur.org


Starting May 12th, Tuesday, I will be fasting for 20 days. The choice is to water fast, or to live on refugee camp caloric intake (1400 calories ~ the diet is on the site). I have chosen water. I may do a Master Cleanse fast for a portion. I am a firm believer in water fasting, but I have been reading up on MCF, and it kind of makes sense. My hope is to stick with water, and use MC as a backup plan. Wish me luck!
We are out of town for a few days starting early Friday morning. I will try to blog tomorrow, but who knows!

  1. Kim have a great trip! Maybe you could think of the fasting as part of a spiritual journey, asking yourself questions along the way, and if you get light-headed at a certain point, meditate: something may come to you. The water idea is good because it fills you up. Good luck! Margaret

  2. I've been thinking of going on an Oberon fast for a few days... maybe weeks.

  3. Well, the down side to that is the gut.

    The up side is that you will be so drunk, you won't notice.
