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!

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 ...

Music

Music!  Just the thought makes me smile.  I come from a hugely talented family of musicians.  From the earliest of days I clearly remember music and instruments being a vital part of every family gathering.  Music just was!  It brought us together, it was fun, and it was what we did.  We always called it "pickin and grinnin". As I watch the last of that family generation fade into memories I am overwhelmed by the thought of the music "dying" with them.  There are very few of us in the younger generation that can play music like my dad's generation in our family.  It will be greatly missed when they are gone but the appreciation for music, family, love and good old times will always remain. I blame my dad for my deep love of all things music.  Although I truly cannot play music (or sing really), I love and appreciate so many kinds of music.  A song can transport me to so many places, it can speak to my sould, help me worship, tell ...

Why Young Living

Many people ask me why or how I began my journey with Young Living.  It definately was not by accident.  God had a plan and a purpose.  My husband had chronic severe migraines.  Sometimes he would have as many as twenty six or more debilitating migraines a month.  This is unbearable for anyone but especially unbearable for a self employed man who lives in a 1000 square foot home with his wife and five children.  Life was exhausting and hard. We went to many doctors throughout NY, MS, VT and CA looking for answers.  We tried all the migraine medicines, accupuncture, accupressure, chiropractic, nutrition, botox, special glasses, you name it!  Nothing worked.  We were at our wits end and had a medicine cabinet so full of drugs that my husband seemed like a zombie. I was fed up.  I knew that there had to be a better way but wasn't sure what that was.  Regardless, I knew that taking as many drugs as he was, my husband's body no lo...
