There is fun stuff on the horizon!

Do you struggle with cooking? Do you crave home cooked meals and healthy choices? But you tell yourself, or you think that cooking is not your thing?

Do you want to learn some simple, do-able, new ways off the plate to improve skin, body tone, face tone, eyes, indoors and outdoors? Do you think you are too busy for this stuff? You are not alone. It is possible, and I want to show you how!

One day Program for caregivers:
A great class for parents or caregivers. It is an informational, interactive time, to learn how to deal with the many challenges of family nutrition in a world that promotes junk, fast food, and pharmacy. Let’s get healthy.

Classes for caregivers with babies:
At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child’s success is the positive involvement of parents.

Massage Your Baby, and Reap the Benefits in Yourself

I have massaged my own children from birth, with techniques and patterns, and have reaped the benefits of it in more ways than I can count.  I love massage and what it can do for people.  Just think about how massage makes you feel when you have a good, solid, specified massage.  I have had total lock ups in my core and QL (lower back), and other areas of my body, that have opened up completely after massage specified for the area of the body in need.  Just think what this will do for your baby or child.

I am here, helping parents to learn to massage and nurture their babies. It is much more than learning strokes. It is a profound way to:

  • Help babies get off to the best start for healthy growth and development
  • Support parents’ sensitivity to their baby (i.e. the parents understanding of their baby’s emotions and cues)
  • Encourage parent-baby interactions and parents’ capacity to support their baby’s regulation
  • Support parents’ adaptation of strokes as their child grows
  • Reduce symptoms of postnatal depression
  • Relieve stress
  • Increase school readiness
  • Help the whole family get off to the best start.

Make an investment in a lifetime of benefits for your child and yourself.   I say yourself because when your baby is healthy and happy, or calmed from symptoms or complications, you are less anxious and able to move through your days with confidence.

Register with me. If you are in a location other than Russellville, AR, contact me to discuss options (even to the extent of live video feed).

notes for life…evil and good

hello everyone.

You are amazing. You were made by a most wonderful creator. You have power to call upon at any time, at any moment, against any peril, for any blessing, and with Love that surpasses all understanding behind it all (or in front of it all).

I am sitting here, making supper, and listening to the mayhem in the other room coming from a movie. I will not name the movie, but it has been deemed one of the greatest book to movies.

I have always been mostly good at looking away from bad things, or not partaking in activities that were not exactly down a path that would be enhancing. The older I have grown, the easier it has been to keep away from music that was not pleasant to the ears, or say no to movies that were less than teachable.  I became stronger in this after becoming a mother, taking every moment to be particularly careful of the things the kids watched and listened to, creating strong foundations in what was good from the early years, so that when they were older, they could choose well and with wisdom; this has worked well, yet they do fall to the “curiosity” of a great book series or movie that the world has deemed a greatness.  I sit here with the sounds in the background, listening to encouraging music in my ears to wash out those sounds, and wonder, “what is so appealing about that stuff?” What is so intriguing about it all, all that the world makes up? I do understand that evil loses in the movie, but does it really? Those pictures and those words and that music will forever be in the minds of those who have viewed and listened to it.

Satan shows himself in full color in those books, movies, and songs;  He grows strong with the weakness of the human spirit: power and wealth (whether in knowledge, money, or magic).  He knows how the human mind can be deceived by that one word, “you will have all power”.  This is a lie of course, but people still fall under the trance, thinking they know enough to keep the upper hand. The human mind has another flaw, as my troop in the other room watching that movie: that they can watch it, knowing it is fake, and not be influenced.  Bhwahahaa! That is a bigger lie than the power lie.

I am here to say that it is possible to turn away, though difficult under all the peer pressure, family pressure, and social pressure.  It is possible to be different, to be in the world and not a part of her. It is possible to have a good life without the those things.  I do not miss any of what I do not take in, and sometimes I do not miss what I have taken in and figure out to be a “misguided influence”.  I have to strive against these things daily just like everyone else, and yet, at the same time, the more I practice focusing on things that matter, the better I become at leaving the others behind.

Live well, be healthy, smile

LETTER BOXING

Letter boxing is awesome! I grew up in the great outdoors of the west, and I have raised my kids to be the same in the great outdoors in Arkansas. We are travelers, sojourners, tourists, and warriors.   We love exploring, in many different aspects, in many different environments.  I want to encourage you to do the same with your family. If you feel overwhelmed with this idea, then begin with LETTER-BOXING. This is a great way to begin the journey outdoors, learning about the communities around you, animal or people communities, city or rural communities.

We have found letter boxes, and some pretty creative stamps, all over Arkansas, South Dakota, New Mexico, Missouri, and other places when we think of looking while traveling. I have been out of practice for a couple years while my kids are moving into the adult world/college, etc, after being home schooled for their entire childhood (they went to college early and are doing well :))

OH! what is letter boxing, you ask?! It is a journey of clues, and detective work.  It is about journalism and being creative.  It is about stamps from all over the country and world.  You create a stamp or purchase a stamp that is unique to you, that you take with you, along with a created or purchased journal, when you go out to find a letter box. You stamp the found journal and leave a message about you and where you are from.  You can create your own boxes with stamps and journals and place them in locations also, but you have to create fun and inviting clues to find the box.  If this is not making sense, just look on LetterBoxing.org and find out all you need to know. It was all started by a person in England who wanted to encourage people to get outside and travel, and “meet” (through the journal) people from all over the country and sometimes world. We had some people from China and other places sign our journals and find our boxes here in AR. It is such fun to go check your box, and check on other boxes, to discover those who have passed by and left their stamp 🙂

I am going to begin a letter boxing blog of the boxes I find and the places I find them. I will not give away location, but I will post pictures and the things I wrote into the journals I find.

Keep up with my Letter boxing blogs to find out where I hide my next one, or where I find one.

Anxiety, my new outlook upon it…

Anxiety. A real monster. A reality in life.

We have energy inside us, outside of us, around us, and through us.  That energy is color and describes our demeanor.

I have recently realized to ask each day, “what do I want to be free of today?”

THEN…

The thing that I wanted to be free from may be just the thing that tethers me to a higher power. I can be free from the thing binding me, but at the same time, the thing tethers me to others who have the same “thing”. I can hold space for others in this “thing”; I can say to them, “you are not the only one.”

If I had not had the anxiety attacks, and the health manifestations that came with them, maybe I would not be as sensitive and know what to do with those people.  RATHER, I can embrace the anxiety, the results of it, the worry and the results of it, the control issues and the results with them, and the abandonment issues and the issues with that (and all of this from childhood to now), and MAKE THIS MY MESSAGE. This is ME.

It is how we ride the things (the roller coasters, waves, etc.) we want to be free of, and the things we love, and all the things in between, that make the difference. The difference, as a counselor told me, is “as a piece of hair on our head; the diameter of the hair is the difference between terror and excitement.”

I hate roller coasters, and always have, and probably always will; they terrify me. I asked myself what is it about them that I hate…and that is where it all became clear, connected with the anxiety in my life, and described my relation with the anxiety.  We all ride them differently, the things that terrify us, and yet something draws us to them at the same time. REPEAT THAT, it is profound. We all ride them differently, the things that terrify us, and yet something draws us to them at the same time.

Breath and Spirit are the same word in all languages and cultures on this earth, and in the word of the Creator (the Bible’s Hebrew).

Love others as you love yourself then takes on a whole new meaning:  unselfish to yourself “as” (at the same time as) others.

Take care. Be healthy.

Moons

Look at the moon feel the peace. Full moons are energy; they pull up and recharge. Full moons revive gems and crystals, plants, people. Go out and be in the full moon. The next week the energy will be great, as was last week. Then it will begin to draw down, push into, and release for 14 days ish. It is a cycle, a beautiful cycle. Been doing this my entire life: looking up and around and down to retrieve the creation’s gifts to me. Outside is a great place to go when needing peace and release and The Father’s touch! (That is a daily thing, and in large doses).

ready for real change? want healing for your child?

I just spoke with a friend and a client. She did a hair analysis with me through the best lab (recommended in books) in the nation for this kind of test. She has been learning so much about herself, experimenting with taking things out and adding things in to her food and life and supplements. She just told about how she stopped taking her calcium this week and has felt so much better, and her heart was not hurting at all; she said is had affected her sluggishness during the mid day and other things, that are disappearing! The analysis results showed that she did not need calcium; she needed other things to absorb it (there is more detail in this if anyone wants more examples). I am just on a high for what can be done and how the body will heal anything given a chance. I had a convo with someone last night who has a daughter with tourettes, which is totally curable despite the pharma take on it. It is a disorder in the category of ADD and other things similar. It is a mineral/vitamin/nutrition deficiency/gut disorder. It can be fixed. It can be cured!! Please contact me if you want to change your life or change your child’s life. I am totally excited about having complete and total time to serve and learn. I am learning so much more than I have ever, putting pieces together I never would have put in the same puzzle. The body is AMAZING! THE CREATOR IS AMAZING. We are given the power to heal and be healers. Action friends. NOW BREATHE, just breathe. AND LISTEN. just listen.

CALL TO ACTION

faith                                                                                                              LET’S get to moving and shaking the world around us. Let’s write a prayer, a request (the talking part), and then listen for the Voice, our core (our gut), to answer; the next step is to ACT. We have to be brave and “fall forward”. Failing is success.  Success is success.

Here is my prayer for today: a prayer of thanks. (WATCH FOR THE NEXT FEW BLOGS TO BE OUTRIGHT ACTIONS–that means you have to come back and read what I have to say next).

Thank you my Elohim, Father, for waking me up this morning, inspired and ready for the next challenge, battle, gift, you have for me. Thank you for your for being my armor, my guidance, my inspiration, my first glimpse of real Love and Life, my healer, my greatest physician (my only physician), my best counselor, my biggest pillow, my most patient listener, and my spiritual rock. You are the only voice that stays constant, that rules my heart and head, that keeps my gut (my core) the ruling part. I know that the gut is always your voice, no matter what, and the heart is the following part.  You, oh Father, are the greatest thing that every happened to me, and have blessed me with some of the greatest people, family, things on earth. Riches are not in earthly things, but rather you are in riches. Here we go Father! I want to be your advocate. I want to be your feet on this earth, creating paths for people to walk toward you; YOU want this for me (that is why I want this).  Our failings are in “I wants” except when we “want” you and your walk.  I will take no credit for myself; if I gain fame or popularity, I will keep on keep’in on, and know it is all for you to be known to the world; it is for every part and piece, before your great entrance back onto this earth comes.  If I stay low key, the same abides in me, keep on keep’in on.  Will you please lead me to take the things meant for action, off the page, out of head, and be rid of the “I don’t like the sound of my voice on video”, and the poor excuses, and the “I don’t know how” goofball statements lying to my heart and head.? Would you help me practice each day one new thing with my video camera, live feed, blogging, and other things I have issues with, and cause them to be strengths? I believe you are already working in me. I have a schedule for blogging (hate computer sit down jobs) and I have visions and ideas for great short video blogs/live streaming on Facebook, etc.  I have a written plan for creating times to speak to moms groups and home school groups, and other places to make a name out there. I know you have set me on a path the past two years, and I am ready to put it all into another gear higher (and speed scares me). I am going to do this stuff. I Love you Oh Father. In the name of the Messiah, Lord over me, I say AMEN.
