Health Cures 101
After watching several videos on the raw diet, I've been inspired to give this a try. As we age, our bodies can't keep up with all the toxins in our foods. Meat is especially difficult to digest at any age, and becomes a stresser on our bodily functions. Our joints ache, we tire easily and overall health begins to diminish. Further stress is added as hormones decline and our sleep habits change. I've been finding it difficult to get a proper, deep sleep during the night.
It's common sense that a raw, vegetarian diet will assist the body to heal and repair itself. I'm inspired, and hopefully you will be too.

Free e-book
I just finished reading, "The Undeclared for Life Manifesto," by Emilie Wapnick. This is a must read for those of you who just can't seem to find your place in this world...you know who you are! We tend to have varied interests and trouble choosing a career.
It was a thoroughly enjoyable read, and will definitely revisit the book and spend more time on the written exercises. If nothing else, it eases your internal questioning and puts you at ease.

Virtual World
It's been a while since my last post, but there wasn't much to say. I just saw a post on FB about Molson Canadian's Red Leaf project. It seems they're combining our "virtual world" with reality, and I like it.
The internet has affected people in so many ways, that at first blush I thought this was another distraction. I see after reading their site it isn't. It's a way to get people involved through the web and a brilliant bit of advertising.

Frustrations lead to insight
I don't know who reads this blog, and it doesn't really matter, as it's an outlet for me. I haven't posted for quite a while, as we've been going through difficult times. I came home this evening after running errands and felt a great deal of frustration. Frustration that I couldn't just "bang" around my kitchen because everything was cluttered. Frustrated that it seemed all the prayers in the world weren't helping. Frustrated that my quiet little life was intruded upon by various circumstances beyond my control.
So, I took a moment to pray..outside, and low and behold I did receive an insightful answer. Jesus said, don't just love your friends, but your enemies too. Even your enemies love their friends so what's the benefit to that. Do something outside the box, and love your enemies.
It dawned on me at that moment. It doesn't matter how I do when everything is hunky dorey and running smoothly. It doesn't matter if I can come home and have a glass of wine, and cook up a really nice, relaxed meal. None of that matters. I took it to mean the analogy of "loving your enemies" to mean, "conduct yourself during hard times with integrity.
What matters is how a person handles periods of hardship, and heartache. It matters how you conduct yourself, and where your heart is. Who cares if the house is clean, and beautiful meals are made if all isn't right with someone who is close to you. With someone who is YOUR family, and reason for being.
None of anything much matters, until that person is healthy, strong and whole. Then, and only then can rejoicing abound. Right now, what matters is how we deal with the difficult times that have come our way.
May the road be wide, the path easier, and love abound overall.
Because in the end, that's all that counts.
