  • Time for a little indulgence...

    I love food. And I love experimenting and making new things. Tonight we will ring out the old and in the new with these tasty home made organic almond shortbread bars... The last couple of winter squash we have had, …

  • Advice: Exercise routine

    In the last two months, I have been eating almost entirely organic foods and have slowly been recovering from a 5 year battle of fibromyalgia-like symptoms. Since I am getting stronger, I am looking to branch out a bit …

  • Christmas pics

    I made a Christmas album, be sure to check it out. None of the pics are my own, I didn't bring a camera, so they are all stolen from Kara and Kelly. Oh well. Here are a few of my favorites: Sis in law Kelly Shan…

  • How I am feeling and the big news...

    I thank God for the enormous amount of strength and overall well-being I had during our vacation. Just a couple of months ago it would have been very difficult for me to endure even the somewhat relaxed pace of our time…

  • back to life

    Shane and I got back around noon on Sunday. I have been very tired and busy doing things since. Now I am just trying to sit down and sort my thoughts. I will try to post again later.

  • Going home

    Shane and I are leaving Florida tomorrow. I have had a wonderful time but I am ready to go home. I have a lot on my mind so I will probably get back to blogging this coming week, and really try to focus on writing for t…

  • Josh and Kara will be here SOON to pick us up to go to Florida for a week. I am SO excited!!Later!!

  • ... I have a terrible knot in my back, it has been there for many days now. It is causing me so much pain, and I don't know how to get rid of it. I am trying to take it easy, lightly stretch, occasionally apply heat...…

  • I think I made too big of a salad today. I feel like I am going to be eating it for the rest of my life. Seriously, I have been going away at it for nearly a half an hour and it looks like I've only begun a dint in it. …

  • I had already decided to do away with the cleaning supplies in the house, and yet today I used the "Krud Kutter" to clean the mold on the windows...I have had a headache ever since, and I even had the windows open for l…

  • For variety, I will post what I ate today, too. Because I am bored. This is actually a little more average than the one I posted before, I didn't feel so insatiably hungry today. 9:00am - 1 slice Ezekiel Bread smothere…

  • I really want to write something important.

  • Typical.

    Since cleaning up my diet and going organic, I have grown accustomed to eating several smaller meals throughout the day. Because I eat small meals, I feel like I am always hungry and always eating, but looking at it, I …

  • Should you want to call me...

    I will be losing my phone number in the next couple of days. Shane and I are switching to local numbers, and I am giving my cell phone to my dad. So if you need to contact me, you will need to call Shane's new cell phon…

  • Farmers Market

    Oh, how I will miss you. I read the Farmer's Market in our town is moving next year so I made sure my name is on the mailing list for details, and got a number for the lady who sells eggs so I can purchase them from he…

  • Good Mornin'

    It is too early for a Saturday. ...no, I take that back. When I woke up before 6:30am was too early for a Saturday. Especially because I don't have anything to do until 9am. You might think I am a big lob of poo fo…

  • Well About 4 1/2 hours from the time I started, I made about 5 dozen cookies (2 dozen of one, 3 of another) and two different types of brownies, the kitchen is clean, and the cookies are made up into 5 gift bags with …

  • Yesterday and Today

    I went to see my mom yesterday. I do not go every time my dad does, for various reasons, one being I want to give them time alone together sometimes. Well yesterday went okay, we did not stay super long. I think my dad …

  • bmph.

    I hate when I accidentally make dinner too early, or something happens and Shane ends up taking longer to get home than I anticipated. I know it's silly. Most days lately I have been waiting for him to get home to even …

  • Every day life and learning to live Organic

    Every day life: I don't know if it was due to poor sleep the night before, or the Valerian root I took last night, perhaps the combination, but I slept GREAT last night. I feel like myself again. Yesterday I was so dis…

  • Inside

    (disclaimer: this post used to be private, but I wanted to share with you some of my thoughts, even if they don't make sense...) I realized this week how much this has been a year of evaluation and change for me. I …

  • On health...

    I am tired of researching and learning about all the crap I have been putting into my body for years, and how many lies I have been told about what is healthy and right and what I "need". It is all a bunch of bologna, w…

  • Israel

    When I lived in Texas I visited a church that repeatedly stressed to the body to be praying for Israel. Ever since, I have felt it tugging on me, like conviction, I am supposed to be praying for Israel. The truth is, I …

  • About mom

    There are two very shallow stairs that lead to my parents' bedroom, and wide enough for my mother's walker. According to the impression we received from the center upon her release, we were sure this would be sufficient…

  • I haven't felt much like writing anything lately...yet at the same time I long to write something substantial. Life is very strange, I don't quite know what to make of it.
