It's been a long time

Wow, how time flies. The summer is coming to an end, the kids are back in school and believe it or not I am noticing some slight changes in the leaf colors.


Lots has changed for me as well. This summer has required alot of growth in me. And I am so grateful that I have been able to accomplish that growth.

I am returning to putting myself first each and every day. I am treating my body and mind with respect. Three of the most profound and concrete things I have done to get back in touch with myself is to:


Stop smoking. I only smoked when I drank alcohol but I could burn up some cigs. when I did.

Stop drinking alcohol. It has been 22 days today and I am delighted with that. I am learning about addiction and am reaching out to AA for a better way.

Returning to eating healthy. I realize what a profound difference I feel when I fuel my body with proper nutrition. I am experimenting with different ways of eating and right now I am juicing alot and feel great. So far today I have had 2 oranges, 4 apples, 1 pear, and 1 cucumber juiced and my energy is high. Not to mention how great the juice tasted.

Well, I am off to the grocery store. Hope everyone is having a great Labor Day. Also, I am keeping all the people afected my Gustav in my mind and prayers.
