I hope nobody reads this, but honestly I really do want people to read it. Read it and comment on it and like it. Why? Because innately it affirms that I have value. So why would I hope nobody would read this? Because God is trying to teach me a hard lesson. In my reading, …

The Stream that is His Presence
I've been watching this docu-series online about broken brains over the past week and it has been both insightful and a bit worrisome. It has been challenging my habits and routines, causing me to evaluate how important my health is to me. Am I willing to make some hard changes and break some chains? Or …
Complaints
Yesterday at work someone complained about me to my supervisor saying I was a b;tc#. My supervisor is new and has only been there for a few weeks and this is the second complaint she has had about me. I've been working there for 21 years and I can count the complaints customers have made …
Rhodiola Rosea
Last on my list is the newest supplement given to me by my naturopath - Rhodiola Rosea. I haven't been taking it very long but I feel it was a good addition for my personal needs. Normally I experience some SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and some added anxiety over the holidays. And once the holidays …
Magnesium
Honestly I would rather write about exotic herbs than something boring sounding like magnesium. Magnesium isn't something new or revolutionary. Most people have heard of magnesium. So why should you take the time to learn more about it? Magnesium deficiency may be the largest health problem in the world today according to my search on …
Ashwagandha
Okay, I didn't post yesterday because it's hard to write about how much I'm feeling better with these supplements when I was under the weather with the flu. So I gave myself the day off from writing. So if you read my previous post on Tulsi you will be ahead of the game understanding Ashwagandha. …
Tulsi/Holy Basil

I originally found this recommended through a webinar on thyroid disease, specifically hypothyroidism. (I had thyroid surgery years ago to remove a goiter and …
Reinventing Myself/The Aftermath of Retreat (or am I really just having a midlife crisis?)
It's been nearly 3 months since we held our women's retreat. I had hoped to post some glorious conclusion to all the hard work I and my wonderful committee had done. But instead of coming out raring to start the next retreat and feeling inspired, I find myself questioning everything I'm doing. Don't get me …
Today I start my ebook!
One of the reasons I keep quitting my online classes is that they want me to write an ebook to give away for free to encourage people to sign up on my email list. I've gladly given up my own email for free giveaways on other people's sites and have gotten some great info this …
Is Food My Enemy?
Today was a game changer for me, one in a series of days. It started two nights ago when I deleted all my games from my iPad because I was so frustrated with myself for spending way too much time in mindlessness. The next day I began reading "Designing Your Dream, Discovering the destiny that's …
