♥Hi Friends!
Beans and legumes are staples of a plant-based diet (read here about them). “But they give me gas” you say! No fear! That’s just your gut adjusting. Over time, down the “HEALING-plant-based-alkalizing-‘SMOOTHIE‘-laden” road, your HEALTH and digestion will thank you! Continue reading “What’s for dinner?…’Crockpot Refried Beans’!”

The way you start out your morning can make a big difference in how well you feel, perform and HEAL the rest of the day. Since your body has been in a state of fasting from sleeping all night, a couple of little habits can help put a spring in your step and prepare your body (make it a clean slate if you will) for everything that will be sure to come your way!

How we feelin’ everybody!?! Anyone out there dealing with the winter sickies/blues? Ever wonder why we get sick this time of year? And not just PHYSICALLY but EMOTIONALLY (which affects us SPIRITUALLY.) Continue reading “Why We Get Sick In The Winter…& a recipe for ‘Cucumber Cooler Smoothie’.”

No grandbaby yet. Patience is a virtue, huh!?! Now on with my promised school lunch post…
My kids haven’t eaten a school lunch in years. I just cannot bear to send my babies out in to the big wide world, empty handed, only to be forced to eat the toxic, processed food they serve in the school cafeteria. Continue reading “What to do about School Lunch…& a recipe for ‘Homemade Salsa’.”

Well, summer really has come to a close (almost) with the Labor Day weekend behind us. And let me tell you that spending time in the mountains this holiday reminded me once again that Heavenly Father’s creations are HEALING! The mountains are one of the most HEALING places for me (everybody really). There’s lots of good energy floatin’ around up there from not only the Sun and Earth, but the plants, critters, rivers, etc (not to mention we are up and out of all the interference from our “electronic devices”) and I feel completely energized when I’m in them.

Mother Nature and the gifts Heavenly Father has blessed her with are awesome and amazing! The more I learn about the nature of His HEALING power, I appreciate more and more all the resources around me, that He has created, that HEAL and bless me and those I love. This post (Earth), and my last (Sun), are about two of His big ones! Continue reading “HEALING with Mother Nature: Part 2-EARTH…& a recipe for ‘Mango Pineapple Smoothie or Popsicles’.”

A few months ago our church hosted a women’s conference in our area. As a committee planning this conference, our goal was to provide HEALTHY living ideas for SPIRIT, BODY and MIND. One of the wonderful women on our committee, along with her husband, owns a HEALTH food store in our area. During one of our planning meetings he came along to add his insights. And he brought up a really good point that when you think about, seems quite ridiculous but absolutely true!

I have to say, this post is about something that I’m a real newbie at. But something for a long time now that has spoken to my SPIRIT, my BODY and my MIND. It’s yoga. Stay with me now! Over the last few years I’ve come to identify myself as a ‘conservative hippie’. And all that really means to me is that I’m a daughter of God who desires to love and serve my family and others, while showing righteous stewardship for all that God has created, with respect and reverence.

Food has come to mean something completely different to me than it once did. My mother says that as a child I use to get really nervous if I thought there wasn’t going to be enough for myself of what was being served at the table. Not in a “third-world-country-I-never-eat” kind of way. But a “completely-selfish-I-love-food-and-have-no-self-control-and-someone-is-going-to-eat-my-food” kind of way. We all know someone like that. Maybe it’s you. Or like me, it’s you and some of your children! And I think therein lies a huge societal problem.
