My baby

First day home :)

Phoebe loves blankets

older and oh so wiser


So I wanted to talk about being thankful. I am Thankful for my Phoebe. I know some people may think that she is just a dog, but she came to me at 12 weeks and we are totall in synch with eachother and who dosent love a dog that loves to be loved :)
The other day I was getting out the christmas decorations and found her winter coat from her first winter. It is 1/3 the size of her current one :( not going to lie it made me a little sad.
So today (and everyday) I am thankful for my fur baby and you ;)

I really found this to be very interesting. I hope you do too!




It's been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish... All before making a human. He made and provided what we'd need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw. We're such slow learners...





God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!



God's Pharmacy! Amazing!









A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.







A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.







Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.







A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.







Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.





Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.







Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents c ervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).





Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.





Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.





Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries





Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.





Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.

Changes

I am loving the new options that blogger has offered and finally have a background that I feel fits my personality. Ha Who knew!
SO I have been a awful blogger and for my 3 followers out there I apologize! My camera is busted and I haven't been inspired to write anything.
Nothing big for tonight but I have some posts up my selves. But first ...

What inspires you?
What makes you feel grounded?

to swap or not to swap that is the question

SO I am curious I have done swaps in the past and they have been fine, but this summer I have done 2 and both have been bad experience's. The first one I never heard back from my swap partner and then finally did through the person hosting the swap and got her address. I mailed a awesome package but then never got one in return. The next swap that I did I got my package but mine was a little late getting out because of one of the things that i ordered was late getting to me. Got a email today from the host er saying that i moved my blog and would never be able to swap in this town again. I am totally confused. Has anyone ever had experience's like this? Is this normal? I never said anything when i didn't get the first package because i didn't want to make anyone feel bad. Should I have?  I also did a book swap and got a email that people were over swaping. blurgh

needed to hear this today

The key to choosing where to be is choosing somewhere where YOU WILL BE HAPPY, where YOU CAN FEEL LIKE YOU’RE PROGRESSING, and somewhere where you WANT TO BE and feel like you SHOULD BE

Come thou fount

Today was exzactly the Sunday that I needed. This morning I had a few struggles. Time management. Satan and his love of working on my self esteem. Frustration. When I got to church though I was provided with a peace and reverence that He knew what I needed. HF knew more than i did. He always does. Before I left that house things were not going right and I said a simple prayer of Please help. I asked and he provided and I am grateful. Today was the first time that our ward was doing a linger longer/put lick of sorts and I was in charge. I tend to obsess, what could go wrong what do I need to do etc. I was so humbled and peaceful after sacrament that I didn't want to loose that feeling. I was then given a gift. My friend asked if I wanted to go home with her while she fed her baby and got what she was bringing for the pot luck. My friend is moving soon and I was grateful for the opportunity to spend time with her. I know that you might be thinking that is the opposite of keeping the spirit. Well, after a lovely talk on Temple attendance and a beautiful musical number talking with a Friend about the blessings of the temple and the blessings we are able to receive was just what I needed. Going back to the chapel I felt edified and spiritually nourished. I felt reminded of what I needed to do. What I already knew but somehow lost sight of. The linger longer/pot luck was a hit. I was humbled at the amount of hands who were willing to help. I was reminded that I was not doing this alone. I was actulally helping everyone else.

you spin my head right round...

SO I've been a little out of it this week with what I thought was a inner ear infection and a recurrence of vertigo. Well I had the vertigo right. I have some other funky infection. I am so grateful for my friends who will go unnamed. They came to my house and doctored me up. I am all for bringing back the days of house calls. :) Thank you guys so much though.

Pearls



The cheerful little girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them, a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box.


"Oh Mommy please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please?"




Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl's upturned face.


"A dollar ninety-five. That's almost $2.00. If you really want them, I'll think of some extra chores for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy them for yourself. Your birthday's only a week away and you might get another crisp dollar bill from Grandma."




As soon as Jenny got home, she emptied her penny bank and counted out 17 pennies. After dinner, she did more than her share of chores and she went to the neighbor and asked Mrs. Mc James if she could pick dandelions for ten cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give her another new dollar bill and at last she had enough money to buy the necklace.


Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and grown up. She wore them everywhere, Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed. The only time she took them off was when she went swimming or had a bubble bath. Mother said if they got wet, they might turn her neck green. Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come upstairs to read her a story.




One night as he finished the story, he asked Jenny, "Do you love me?"


"Oh yes, daddy. You know that I love you."


"Then give me your pearls." "Oh, daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess, the white horse from my collection, the one with the pink tail. Remember, daddy? The one you gave me. She's my very favorite."

"That's okay, Honey, daddy loves you. Good night." And he brushed her cheek with a kiss.
About a week later, after the story time, Jenny's daddy asked again, "Do you love me?"
"Daddy, you know I love you."
"Then give me your pearls."
"Oh Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my baby doll. The brand new one I got for my birthday. She is beautiful and you can have the yellow blanket that matches her sleeper."
"That's okay. Sleep well. God bless you, little one. Daddy loves you."


And as always, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.


A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting on her bed with her legs crossed Indian style.


As he came close, he noticed her chin was trembling and one silent tear rolled down her cheek.

"What is it, Jenny? What's the matter?"


Jenny didn't say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy. And when she opened it, there was her little pearl necklace. With a little quiver, she finally said, "Here, daddy; this is for you." With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny's daddy reached out with one h and to take the dime store necklace, and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave them to Jenny.


He had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give up the dime-store stuff so he could give her the genuine treasure. So it is, with our Heavenly Father. He is waiting for us to give up the cheap things in our lives so that he can give us beautiful treasures.



Sometimes we need to be reminded to let go of the things that we think are important and be willing to allow ourself to accept the things that He wants us to have

do something about it!


SO this morning I woke up and went for a speed walk with Phoebe for a hour then came home and did 1/2 hour of yoga booty ballet. I was going to do the 30 day shred but that is one I have to do when the neighbors down stairs are not home. Lots of Jumping jacks :) I worked up a sweat and felt great. What a change. I havent been feeling great. I know that I had out on the weight that I lost but then when I started to put on more, I got mad. So this morning I did something about it.  I have made a lot of changes in my life and felt like everything was coming into place but I forgot to take care of myself.

Letting go and getting ready for new

So I have been doing a lot of cleaning out of the house and my life latley.
Feeling like I am older suddenly.
Like the more that I possess the more I am burdened.
I have had a renewal of Faith.
Faith I knew was there I just needed to make sure it was the right fit.
There is life after a broken heart.
You know that something is not right when you get hurt again and it doesnt phase you.
You feel triumphant when you realize that you no longer love the person that hurt you.
I feel hopeful for the things that are to come.
I feel like I know that he is out there, maybe saying goodbye to someone himself.
Maybe seeing me for the first time or the 100th.
I feel ready.
I feel patient for the first time.
He will be worth the wait.
Untill then I will continue to prepare myself.
Its the least I can do right ;0)
