I tell you the truth: whoever believes in Me will be able to do what I have done, but they will do even greater things, because I will return to be with the Father. VOICE A promise? An opportunity? A possibility? A dormant potential? A hope? A dream? An end to be fulfilled? My gift …
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 …
I’m Okay, I’m Not Okay
Back in the day a popular concept was recognizing we were just who we were and that was okay. We were all about being real. The problem with that thinking, at least for me, is that I don't feel okay, in fact most of the time I feel not okay. I am my toughest critic, …
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

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
Okay as promised, here is just a toe dip into the pool of Tulsi. Tulsi is classified as an adaptogenic herb. Which means it helps stabilize the body's response to stress. I originally found this recommended through a webinar on thyroid disease, specifically hypothyroidism. (I had thyroid surgery years ago to remove a goiter and …
My Sanity Supplements
I know so many people who deal with depression and/or anxiety. Some who take prescribed medication, some who self medicate, and some who just try and deal. I personally have been in all of those categories at one time or another and I guess I fall into the second category now, although my medicine is …
I Will Fail
I know I will fail. That is the thought that is plaguing me on this day of resolutions. So then the questions beg, "Do I attempt it anyway? Or just resign to my failure before I begin?" As I ponder these questions I begin to understand that just as assuredly as I know I will …
Emanuel
We celebrate on Christmas morn The little babe in a manger born. Not as the one whose blood was shed Nor as one risen from the dead, But as one who left heaven above To walk this earth to reveal God's love, To know this life we know so well, To be God with us, …
