TWO REALLY AWESOME VIDEOS



ARNOLDS WAY ON PBS
PBS came to ARNOLD'S WAY and shot a segment a few months back, spotlighting the store and it's owner, Arnold Kauffman. The feature finally aired! The special spot also features inspiring cameos of several Arnold's Way customers who have found great success with the raw food diet. It is so well done and so inspirational! Thank you to Arnold for all that you do and thank you to PBS for noticing!

SKIN BY NICKY SIXX
The song, "SKIN," by Nicky Sixx of Moetley Cru, from his album, This is gonna hurt, is a very moving rock ballad that i never would have heard if it were not for my friend and Arnold's Way coworker, Dorinda. My birthday was last week, and Dorinda bought me the album, hoping I would love this song, Skin, as much as she does. She told me when she heard the song, it opened up something in her and she just sat there listening to it over and over again, crying and crying. Since i'm doing the same thing!!!, I wanted to share it with you, too, in case you found it moving as well. I specifically relate to the song as an obese woman with stretchmarks and cellulite and hangy skin from losing and gaining weight over and over again. Since I'm also prone to feeling shame, embarrassment, and to hiding and isolating especially when i am in pain and binge eating, the song reminds me that what's important is the angel in my heart, and nothing else. The song teaches me to not let the opinions or judgements of others bother me or to stop me from living, and to not allow my weight or the state of my 'skin' to define who i am. Thank you Dorina, and thank you, Nicky Sixx, for your touching lyrics.

SKIN by Nicky Sixx
Paint yourself a picture
Of what you wish you looked like
Mayby then they just might
Feel an ounce of your pain

Come into focus
Step out of the shadows
It's a losing battle
There's no need to be ashamed

Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you got
That you are not your skin

When they start to judge you
Show them your true colors
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you

Just rise above this
Kill them with your kindness
Ignourence is blindness

They're the ones that stand to lose

Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Burry deep within
Let them know with all you got
That you are not your skin

Well they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angels
Living in your heart

Let them find the real you
Burry deep within
Let them know with all you got
That you are not
That you are not your skin
