Taking the path of getting healthier and feeling better

I am on the road to get healthier and to feel better, I have chosen to do with some wholefood based company Juice Plus. Juice Plus+ as a company is unique in the nutritional supplement world because their fruit and vegetable based products are one of the most thoroughly and scientifically research nutritional supplements anywhere. When it comes to your phytonutrient intake, more is better. This is absolutely not the case with vitamins and minerals. If you over-consume vitamins and minerals there can be toxic consequences. In comparison, getting more phytonutrients from whole foods into your diet will have tremendous health benefits including reducing inflammation, reducing oxidative stress, slower aging and protection against a wide variety of degenerative diseases, including heart disease and cancer. What Exactly Are Phytonutrients? Phytonutrients are disease-fighting substances found only in plant-based foods . Phytonutrients not only help protect and support the health of t...

Fire and the life after

Image
I remember driving home from work when I saw these smoking clouds. I did not pay much attention since I was in a hurry to get home. Four days later I went to a graduation party where I was introduced to a young lady. She told me she just had lost everything in a fire. I found out she was a coworker of my oldest son. I put 2 and 2 together and asked her if she had an apartment on top of the hill. She nodded. These are the pictures she took of the destruction     I asked if there was anything I could do. She said that her son had lost everything and that he loves SUPERHEROS.         This was my gift to her a 66 x 66 inch Captain America, so her son could smile again   There is a gofundme page if you like to help her financially. She did not have renters insurance   http://www.gofundme.com/xz53kgg

    American Flag Mini Rag Quilt   I saw this on a quilt site and fell in love with it. Had some fabric left over and made it. It already found a new home.        

Appreciate and thank a veteran, it might just make their day!!

As I celebrated my son's graduation this weekend, many thoughts went through my mind prior and while celebrating.  I had to make sure that my wounded warrior (my husband), felt safe going there. You are asking why? Let me tell you part of his story. The headline could be: Life after the military, the battle goes on. The last deployment changed my husband, not just physically but mentally. Life has been completely changed for us and my husband needs constant care. He can't work anymore, which makes life very challenging for us. Arrival at the airport meant stress for my husband, which can set off seizures. We got there and I talked to the airline, they made sure he could board first, could find the seat he needed to keep his stress level as low as possible. Even security worked with us and got us through as fast as possible. They thanked him for his service. One plane even announced that they had service members on board and there was a round of applause for them. He was vali...
