Why Succulents?

June 29, 2016

It was Christmas time and the only present I wanted was to be healed from Cancer. Christmas wishes do come true, I was given a clean bill of health 4 months later. My job was to stay healthy, stay alive and do my best to be happy and comfortable. The out pouring of neighbors and my community was outstanding. They took care of food for my family,( I didn’t care much for food at the time, let alone cooking) and I had plenty of hats to cover my bald head, and many lovely home made blankets to remind me of the world outside and those who were praying for me. Jim gave me the gift of life. I didn’t even know I loved plants so very much until he introduced me to the world of succulents. It was cold outside, but inside the dirt felt alive! Life supports life, the plants, rocks and dirt were breathing life into me. Jim would come home from dinner and the kitchen would be  covered in dirt, rocks, pots and PLANTS! I spent my days supporting life and these little guys supported me. Oh, I killed a few, (so sorry about that) but it

Alternative Healing

June 28, 2016

I am open to new ideas. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth. (Articles of Faith, Pearl of Great Price, #7) When I memorized this Article of Faith of my church, I was a young girl. I learned and experienced at a very young  age that one of the gifts of the Spirit is to be able to be healed. When we are sick, we can be healed by the power of God. I witnessed this over and over as a child, because of  my mother’s rollercoaster health while she was in and out of the hospital. She had diabetes and other health problems. We thought that she was going to die and  leave us 4 children as orphans many, many times as I was growing up. She was miraculously healed over and over and was able to see all her children get married and start their families. Another gift of the Spirit is when a missionary is sent to a foreign land and is able to quickly learn and understand a new language. I have witnessed this as one of my son’s was called to Paraguay and learned several languages and

From Food Prison to Food Paradise

June 21, 2016

I did it, I went to a dietician. I couldn’t take it any more.  I have been about 50 lbs. overweight for the last 30 years of my life. A couple of times I lost a significant amount of weight… like, “I am pregnant diet” and threw up for 9 months and then gained it back while nursing, then get pregnant again, and the cycle continued for 5 children.  Then there was the “getting divorced diet.”  That was the high caffeine diet with peanut M&M’s. We can’t forget the  “I have Cancer diet” where under the influence of chemo, I threw up everything I ate. But as soon as I started eating regular, the weight came back. Oh ya, there was the low fat diet, the low carb diet, and several times the 1200 calorie diet. I also exercised for up to 3 hours a day for 3 months and still hardly lost a pound. I did the 5:2 diet perfectly and was within .2 oz after 5 weeks! As I visit with others around my age group they are getting the same results, no results. I was told that after chemo I would probably gain weight. I was determined

Sassy girl, lets go change the world!

June 6, 2016

  Some people have that personality that is I am sassy and I am here! I felt like I had that with long hair. I would try all kinds of different styles. Sometimes we are put in a position that our choices are taken away.  It forces growth, change, and you experience things you never imagined. One of my cancer survivor friends had a good 2 or 3 inches of hair.  I was in envy of her curly locks and she still felt like a victim. This time I no longer feel like I have, ” Cancer  survivor” on my head. It is more like,” Sassy Girl, Lets go change the world!” I think when your hair is taken away from you, you have a new perception, ya, one inch feels good!
