Raederle's Diary & Memoir Project

-
I started keeping a journal at the age of ten, in 1999. In 2015, at the age of 26, I began I writing my journal entries in a more novel-like fashion, bringing in a lot of dialog and action. Sharing my life transparently, in its whole, is a dream of mine.

It is my aim to do just that: to tell the full truth of my life.

Raederle’s 2019 Diary

Age 30

Learning piano for the first time. Diving into Myers-Briggs and cognitive functions. Striving for balance between diving into emotions, processing them, and just letting things be. This is my fourth year living in Ithaca, NY.

Raederle’s 2013 Diary

Age 24

In the summer of 2013 I made a radical leap and traveled with Lytenian to Kaua’i island for nearly five months. We lived off the land, and sometimes we literally didn’t know where our next meal was coming from.

Raederle’s 2012 Diary

Age 23

Lytenian and I went on a long road trip in 2012 which included a ten-day visit in Florida (near St. Augustine). During this time I learned my deep love of the ocean. I realized that living in a beach house would be worth it – even if I died young in a tsunami.

Age 21

In June 2010 I said vows to Lytenian. In September of 2010 I went raw vegan and remained strictly on that diet for a full year. I was living in Walnut Creek, California at this time in Lytenian’s apartment there.

Raederle’s 2005 & Earlier Diary

Childhood

I’m the child of two college-educated baby-boomers who happened to raise me in a ghetto where being white made me the minority. I changed schools almost every year, never fitting in anywhere. My immune system was so poor that I had chicken pox twice and mono four times. I hit puberty at nine years old, and quickly became obsessed with sexuality and seeking love.

Vibe Logging: The Value in Tracking Emotions Through Time

-

  For many years I tracked how I spent every minute of my time – and I learned fun facts about myself – over the course of three years of data my average time spent reading fictional novels per day was forty-four minutes. But eventually I stopped logging my time; I’d learned it added roughly twenty minutes to my shower to wash my hair, and that I didn’t feel happy with my relationship when we spent under two hours of quality time together per day. The experiment was a success, but the returns were diminishing. Then, seven years after the original time-logging project began, I had a new inspiration: vibe logging. The premise was that each day had a “vibe” to it – wistful, industrious, melancholy, frustrated, introspective – and that by keeping track of these vibes I’d learn something about how my mood shifted over the course of days, weeks, months, and – maybe, if I was ambitious enough – years. I’ve been “vibe logging” for four years now, and I can say this project has been an astonish

Can a raw vegan avoid nuts? If I have a nut allergy, can I eat a raw food diet?

-

The short answer is, "Yes!" In fact, I encourage all raw vegans to eat very few to no nuts. Eating too many nuts can actually be very toxic and cause nut allergies. There are a number of things to be wary of with shelled nuts. Shelled nuts are... easy to over-eat high calorie and high fat prone to mold, which leaves behind toxins, particularly aflatoxin sometimes labelled raw, yet not actually raw often moldy without showing signs of being rancid visually stored for long periods of time and oxidized not very nutritious to begin with Several of my books limit or do not include nuts. This is because most raw recipe books have nuts in nearly every recipe. In fact, I've bought a recipe book that called for a whole cup of nuts in the majority of the recipes. Generally cashews, which you will not find raw at the grocery store. “Raw Cashews” at your local market only means “not roasted.” Cashews are boiled out of their shell. Th
