April 6, 2020 is the day I made a commitment to take my health “seriously”. A couple days prior to this date, I was feeling dizzy and decided I would take my blood pressure. I’ve never had high blood pressure in my life, but it was high. I had been working in my garden, so I...
Have we lost our vision in this pandemic mess? Do we have a direction and a purpose moving forward? I will admit, that this has been a difficult time in history for many reasons, including staying focused on our goals and our life’s mission.
I do believe we are all gifted by God...
Many of you know that my daddy passed away a little over a week ago. He was 91 years old. A couple of weeks ago he was diagnosed with leukemia. Family members and friends started coming in quickly to spend time with him and tell him what a wonderful influence he had been in their lives. Messages...
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY BIRTHDAY CAKES I FINISHED OFF IN MY LIFETIME? Let’s see, I raised four children and each had a birthday party (with cake) every year……………so that’s four children times 18 years each (at least). That’s 72 cakes. Let’s...
I love this quote by the late Jim Rohn. So many times in my life, I’ve felt motivated, but I didn’t create a habit in my life. Therefore, nothing happened in that area of my life. Years would go by and no real progress took place.
It wasn’t until I worked for three...
I recently visited my sister and brother-in-law at their cabin in Georgia. I not only wanted to eat healthy while there, but I wanted to cook healthy food for my sister & brother-in-law too. They were interested in my way of eating and welcomed my cooking for them.
Later, I...
I'm sure most people work toward goals every day, even if they don't really give it much thought. They want to keep their yard looking nice, so they mow it each week. They obviously have a goal (having a nice yard) and are working toward it (mowing). We are all working toward many goals that we...
A Testimony to God's Faithfulness
Sometimes when my husband is at work, this old house is extremely quiet. No TV on. No noise coming from upstairs. No pitter-patter of feet coming down the steps. No children arguing with one another. No sound of movement in this big old house. Stark...
You may think I’ve lost my mind. Actually, I’ve lost my high blood pressure and I’m losing my high cholesterol and extra weight.
I first heard of whole food plant-based (WFPB) eating about 4 years ago. I began doing a lot of research. I soon heard of a local doctor in...
I received my associate’s degree when I was 20. I got married soon afterward and we started growing our family. It wasn’t until after my kids were all about grown that I decided to work on my bachelor’s degree. I finished it when I was in my 50’s. I then got this crazy...
Life changed for many people when Covid-19 showed it’s ugly face. Me included. I was minding my own business, working in my garden and enjoying the day. I started feeling dizzy and strange. I came in the house to rest. My husband recommended I check my blood pressure, which I did....
I once asked my grandmother, when she was 90 years old, what was the best part of her life. She said, without hesitation, “when I was raising my kids”. Grandma raised 8 kids, so I know her days were busy. She also didn’t have the modern conveniences that we have today. Despite...
