Dad in Haiti, Part 2

I can not tell you how much my family appreciates the outpouring of support- emails, Facebook, blog comments, tweets, phone calls- for my dad while he’s ministering in Haiti.  I am glad that you- my readers- feel more connected to the situation by what I am sharing.  I agree, until dad went down, I was [...]

Dad in Haiti

I am itching to be down in Haiti serving with my dad!  However, that is simply not an option at this time in my life.  I can support him and pray, though.  I guess that will have to suffice for now, although it doesn’t change the ache in my heart.  My dad has been sending [...]

Butter Birth

I have a great birth story to share that I am honored to have been a part of, even if I would have changed a couple of things along the way .  I told this mom early this morning that I would have to share her story on my blog, as an encouragement to other [...]

Day 9- Get Your Iron On!

This cleanse has been a lot harder on me this time than last time.  I am struggling with the emotional aspect of food addiction.  Until you eliminate things, I don’t think you realize how much you depend on them for various reasons.  I have come to learn how much I truly enjoy a nice cup [...]

“They Don’t Remember…”

I can’t seem to get something off of my mind this morning, so I thought I would share.  You know, as some food for thought.  Yesterday, a friend of mine posted something on her Facebook status that she had learned at a class she’d taken.  She was asking other people to share their thoughts on [...]

New Sites & Soup Recipe

I am loving the world of Twitter!  You can find so many great people, blogs, ideas and recipes just from all the connections one of your contacts has.  It has made cleansing so much easier .  Because I am still nursing, I am trying to keep protein and calorie intake up while on the SP [...]

Slow Start

Sunday night, I made my Whole Foods run for the week.  I am pretty bad about making out menus for the week, but doing this is vital to surviving the cleanse.  I was feeling rather proud of myself, I had a menu, a grocery list and had times planned out to prep and cook.  My [...]

Cleanse Time, New Recipes!

I know it’s been a while since I posted some good recipes.  For those of you that have missed them, you’ll be happy to know that I will be adding a lot more soon.  My husband and I have decided to do the Standard Process 21 Day Purification and Weight Loss Program again.  We are [...]

Should You Feel the Burn?

Ever eaten something and worried before you ate it or complained after you ate it that you had “heartburn”?  Wished you didn’t have so much acid in your stomach causing so much discomfort?  Did you know that 90% of people who experience heartburn and think they need an antacid to calm down all the acid [...]

Scrub a Dub Dub

One of the most frequent things new parents talk about is their baby’s skin.  “Oh, there skin is so soft!” “This is awful!  Have you ever seen any worse baby acne?!  What can I do?  I feel so bad for her.” “What perfect skin color!” “Sure wish I could go back to having baby skin!” [...]
