I just love that picture. The last 2 weeks I have really been feeling like a ticking time bomb. That is not like me at all. I know it is stress. I went Wednesday for my acupuncture appointment and it went great. My Dr. hooked me up to a biofeedback program she got it from www.wilddivine.com . It was very relaxing, it teaches you how to destress yourself. I really want to get it for my home. I noticed on that site they also have CDs and stuff for children. I'll have to order it and see how good it is. My next quest is to get together bunch of healthy recipes and then go shopping. My Dr. made mention that my liver is congested so I have to go back in like 2-3 weeks for acupuncture again. She also told me to take milk thistle seeds (which I knew was good for the liver) and do castor oil packs. It's pretty funny because I was just researching that a few weeks ago. Guess I know more than I thought!!! I took a nice walk earlier for about 30 minutes. I need to make sure I go for a walk every day. When I took my oldest daughter to the farm (where she takes her riding lessons and also helps them out when they are doing petting zoos or rodeos) I was a bit sad, the one horse I really like was sold :( I wanted her but it's not a good idea for someone's first horse to be one that isn't at least 10 years old and trained.

One day I will own my farm and have many animals.

My friend's Mom is in town. She got me a meditation book, God love her! I have so many books that I have to read. I should try to read at least an hour a day to get through some of these books LOL. I just got a gluten free cookbook and Maya Angelou also has a cookbook, she tells stories for each recipe. I really enjoy it. Although I doubt I will ever put crackin in any recipe.

Time for me to take a espom salt bath.....be blessed

Wisdom is supreme; therefore make a full effort to get wisdom.Esteem her and she will exalt you; embrace her and she will honor you.

Went back to church Sunday night to hear Pastor Bill Winston speak. Oh man was he funny and what he preached about was really good. Earlier in church Pastor Anderson was preaching on Jesus and him being from royalty and for 2000 years the church has been making it look like Jesus was some poor man. When I got to thinking about it, it's true. When Jesus was on the cross there were people that wanted his garments....because they were made of fine linen.

So it makes me wonder we are all children of God. Why do we have such poverty thinking, I'm not just talking money wise but in every aspect of our lives? God doesn't want that for us. I'm sure that is why we are here on earth, to learn and to grow and know the blessing God has given us.

I did my yoga this morning, watched a bit of Creflo Dollar. Then I wrote out one of the prayers/affirmations in Louise Hay's book. I'll share it with you

I am one with life, and all of life loves and supports me. Therefore, I claim for myself perfect vibrant health at all times. My body knows how to be healthy, and I cooperate by feeding it healthy foods and beverages, and exercising in ways that are enjoyable to me. My body loves me, and I love and cherish my body. I am unique adn I move through life healthy, happy, and whole. This is the truth of my being and I accept it as so. All is well in my world.

As I got out of the shower this morning, I am amazed at how good it feels to get clean. It is totally refreshing!! I have green tea soap that smells so good (yes it's organic). Speaking of soap I want to learn how to make my own, as well as candles. I think it would be fun


Did you know celery helps reduce high blood pressure, gives calming effect and has a high calcium content? I didn't know that, so I wrote it down in my notes. I'm researching the benefits of different fruits and veggies. Then I'm going to find some healthy recipes.

Pampering time

So last week proved to be stressful one. I don't really like having an anxiety attack, I supposed noone does. The body amazes me in how it deals with stress and when it's too much. I have an awesome naturopath doctor, so I called her. She told me what happens when the body gets depleted during stressful times and put me on certain supplements. She also told me about acupuncture, which my appointment is on Wednesday so I'm excited to see how well it goes. I told my husband I needed to get away and destressed.

Back in May I was in Wisconsin, I had to go there for legal reasons and I stayed with my sister. She went up to Michigan with her husband for Memorial weekend, I had her house to myself. It was heaven!!! I could've visited other family members and friends but I needed that time for me. I spent a lot of time being quiet, listening to relaxing music and reading. I meditate, took walks, drank herbal tea, ate healthy, and I journaled. I could feel my body relax, I was feeling so good. I lit candles, put essential oils in my shower and in my body oil. It was just what I needed.

I called a hotel room Wednesday and reserved a room. I made a list of all the things I would bring with me. I had fun getting ready for my day. When I got to my room I put everything away or where it belonged. I smudged the room with sage, lit the candles, made my tea, and then started my bath. I added lemon and peppermint oil with dead sea salts, put my hair in a pony tail and soaked, while sipping my tea. Oh let's not forget the relaxing music in the background, I believe I had Steve Halpern, David and Steve Gordon, and Nature sounds playing. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I layed on my bed and just quieted my thoughts, I concentrated on my breathing and then I could feel my whole body feel tingling and heavy. I meditated for about 20 minutes just thinking about being in beautiful places like a waterfall, the ocean, the forest.

I did some yoga and then started reading The Law of Attraction by Esther and..... oh I forgot I'll have to find the book to remember. It says how everything that happens to us we've attracted to ourselves and it's done with a thought. Makes sense, it says in Proverbs what a man thinks is what he is. It goes into how we should spend 15 minutes a day relaxing and thinking positive thoughts, saying affirmations, etc. I agree I mean the way we think and how we speak makes such a big difference. It also says in Proverbs the tongue creates life or death.

I made myself a snack of celerfy, carrots, apple, and strawberries. The strawberries was so sweet and good. I needed something more, but wasn't sure what I wanted to eat. I already had a salad for lunch and didn't finish it. I wanted meat of some sort. I did some praying and journaling. It really helped me......oh let's not forget I painted my toes :)

So what do you do for yourself to make sure you are taking care of yourself?

Now my mission is to find different types of recipes I can put into my bath. I have tons of essential oil but there are flowers and herbs I can add to it.

Well I'm back at home and it's family time, we rented Evan Almighty so I have to close so I can go watch it. Be well and be blessed!!!!!!
