Cleanses

Have you heard the new craze about all of these "cleanses"?  So, is it worth looking into?  Or is this just a money making scheme?

All of my life I have had digestive issues.  I had heard about cleansing but never really thought twice about it.  I probably didn't want to think twice about it because most of them required fasting and, well, I love food!

But I made a committment this year to get healthy and WELL!  This means fixing the things I know are broken or not working optimally, even if I am not "sick".  I started looking into the impact of gut health on my overall wellness.  Let's just say that I was blown away.  I went through book after book and training after training and almost every issue people deal with led back to the gut!  Imagine that.

Hormones issues, skin issues, attention issues, food sensitivity issues......ALL led back to gut health.    And poop!  I learned more about pooping and how it affects every part of my body!  Did you know that a healthy person should be pooping about two to three times PER DAY!  Heck, I know people who don't poop that much in a week ;)

Anywho, enough of the dirty talk.  So, I figured it was high time I get this dealt with.  I have tried a few different cleanses and have found a few interesting tidbits to share.
First--I CAN fast and feel super good.  I did the "Master Cleanse" and loved it.  Google it if you would like to knoe how to do it!  I did lose a bit of weight, not a bunch.  But the most interesting thing was as I added back food slowly I started to immediately be able to determine which foods created problems for me.
Second-- I learned what it felt like to not be tired, sluggish, foggy headed, exhausted, and bloated all of the time.  It was so refreshing to see how our bodies were created to work and what optimal looked like!
Third-- I learned that a really good probiotic and digestive enzymes are a must!

So, if you have been pondering a cleanse I would say Go FOR IT!  See how you feel!  Do your own research and don't just trust someone else's word, esp if they are gonna make money off from you!  I tell people this about essential oils (where I make money) and mean it!  Learn for yourself!

When you know better, you do better!

Camping trip #2 - Kingdom Bound

OKAY, so I took some of your advice on changes to make before embarking on camping trip #2.  So let's chat about how those changes planned out and what I think of camping now. Many of you told me to plan more activities for the kiddos to keep them busy.  That worked pretty well on this trip because it happened to have been a campsite that is attached to an amusement park.  We did morning rides, back to the camper for lunch and naps, out for afternoon rides, then back for supper.  Little kids usually went back to the park for fireworks or more little rides while the bigger girls and I hit up the amazing concerts available! Even though everyone was way over tired and exhausted, everyone seemed pretty happy because they just wanted to keep doing things.  This made life easier for me!  I also made SURE that I did not forget my hormone loving oils and supplements.......HUGE difference that made!  No crazy mom syndrome on this trip!  We were loc...

Sonya Jean

This is a song I wrote for my sister and few years ago.  Here is part of her story that I told in another post:   My sister's story Sonya Jean I wish I had one more day, I wish I had just one more day. If someone had told me that this was the way; I would have wished for just one more day. The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away, I wish I had just one more day. Such short time on Earth, you had to live; And in that time you had so much to give. A mother, sister and a daughter, A spirit filled with fun and laughter. As sickness came to take you away, I held tight to every day. I wish I had one more day, I wish I had just one more day. If someone had told me that this was the way; I would have wished for just one more day. The good Lord giveth, and He taketh away, I wish I had just one more day. So many things I should have said, Sitting there beside your bed. The most important we covered, The day you prayed and Jesus ...

Loving an MLM, seriously?!?!?!

I am the girl who likes to be home, like never leave home, have peace and quiet, and am afraid of people ;)  I have never "sold" anything in my life (before a year ago), and I rarely tell people about things I love because I just assumed they really didn't care. I have always worked from home, but at a "real" business.  The hubs and I own an electrical contracting business and I have always run the home office.  How many hubs get to go home with the secretary 😀 Well, I am the last person I would have ever expected to fall in love with a MLM business.  I am very skepticle of things and like I said....PEOPLE!  But, as I often do, I have surprised myself.  I got started with Young Living as part of a 15 year journey to get some answers and freedom for a hubs that suffered from severe chronic migraines.  Little did I know that this company would radically change our lives! Not only have we tackled the migraines, we have learned as a family and healt...
