So shines a good deed, in a weary world.
--Wm. Shakespeare
If there is one thing that I want to accomplish while I am here, it is to make at least one life better because I have lived. It is so easy to self-destruct, to destroy, to collapse into your own pain, and to find those who will support you in your decision to use, booze, or lose.
But most satisfying are the lives that stand up for someone. Blessed are the ones who speak out for those silenced and hurting. And the progress toward the most immense feelings of joy, is as simple as opening your heart. We are not insignificant as one. Go do something for someone, anyone, and let that joy sink in. It's addictive.

I think my blog time is Pacific, because it is timing my post at 4-something in the morning...i am not that much of a morning person.
It's Working!!!!
An update on the cleanse...it is working! My body is adjusting to the psyllium and the tea has been reduced to 1 cup of water per tea bag (beginning 2nd week) I am amazed at what is happening with my body..I notice that my skin has a glow to it, my energy is coming back (I got up without the alarm clock at 6 am and feel great!) Those of you who know me, know that I HAVE NEVER BEEN A MORNING PERSON! And for four years have been awakened by my son the human alarm clock...Anyway, I am very happy to be doing this, because if my work can help others, it makes it all worthwhile. the FrequenSea is next for me since I want to do my cleanses in order. I feel like I am getting my life back, and that is the best feeling...knowing that Lennon may have to keep up with me.
You're probably wondering why I am on this drive to cleanse....I had to finally say to myself...Life is for the living...if you are not going to strive to live your best life, and enjoy each day as much as possible, and strive to make a difference in something other than the television channel, get a shovel, pick a space, and start digging.
I hope my entries help all who are taking the time to read them. I am for health, as natural as possible, with no damage done to the life all around us, and my motivation comes from seeing too many people go through debt to get well, have to choose between food and medicine to stay well, and the cycle of expense and invasive procedures hurting more than helping. There are doctors who are open-minded and patient centered, but it is time that we choose wisely, and treat ourselves and each other like the temples we are, and not like frat houses. If I can help one person because of the things I do, it is well worth my effort to undertake the cleanses and report back! :)
If there is something you need to find and can't on this page...be sure to check the archives by clicking on the specific month. Blessings to all who enter here and please let me know success stories of your own..I will be glad to publish them.
Have a great day!!!

Early Morning Insight
A flash of the words in bold came to me this morning, so I did a search and came up with this entry. Not knowing where they came from, was very interested to know it is a Psalm. Hope you find some strength in it as well.
Psalm 61
1 For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. Selah.
5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name
.6 You will prolong the king's life; his years shall be for generations.
7 He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.
8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.

Undertaking a deep clean....
With all of the things going on about cleanses, and being one who believes in the need for everyone to take a break from all of the madness we consume in our day to day, I decided a while ago that a colon cleanse would be for me. I didn't know what a cleanse like that would reveal, but I felt that it would be best for me to know for sure. Being 32, I have had quite a bit of stuff that hasn't been the healthiest to ingest, so I felt that a clean like this would do me good. Also, I wanted one that did the job, but was fairly inexpensive as well.
I have been on my cleanse since Wednesday of this week, and having started my psyllium regimine on Thursday, and today being Friday evening, I got my first indication of what has been in my colon and what possibly will be leaving my body in the days or weeks to come. I refuse to describe in detail what that indication was, but let me say that I have never seen anything like it in my life, and I am glad I am getting rid of it. It is absolutely nothing I have ever seen after any meal I have eaten for 30+ years--at least the meals I remember from being a kid and the after effects of the digestive process.
What am I taking, do you ask? Thanks to the great people at "A Journey Within", a health food store in Triadelphia, WV, I got great answers as to what would be a good, inexpensive cleanse, and a wonderful talk session to go along with it. My mom was with me, as we have decided to go through it together, and see what it is all about, and we also picked up supplies for friends of the family.
If you are close to the Ohio Valley, I suggest stopping in to see "A Journey Within" it is a beautiful store, with a great vibe, fantastic people, and great products. However, if you are not near that area (my dear out of state buddies), GNC has started to carry these cleanses--especially the one I am about to list for purchase. Also the company is online as well.
The first part of the cleanse is the Colon Cleanse Tea, by Health Plus Inc. do not drink this tea without the second part of the Cleanse, because it will go straight through you.
The second part of the cleanse, is the Health Plus Inc. Colon Cleanse (High Fiber) with the red label. Stick with this one since it is more servings per container and a good 7g serving of fiber per tablespoon. This is the Pure Psyllium Husks...which do a fabulous job of cleaning. I have been mixing them in juice (at least 8oz and drink quickly because they thicken in liquid) because they do not have much of a taste, and I do want a little excitement with my fiber.
Do Not get sugar-free...Aspartame is a different and destructive chemical that is doing horrible things to people...but that is another entry to come.
If you can't get into the husks in liquid, Health Plus Inc does carry the capsules of psyllium--not as many servings per jar and a serving is 6 capsules. It is personal taste. Since I was going to go the inexpensive route, my total for my cleanse so far has only been about $20.00. Hopefully as I go on, I will come to the assumption that one of each is all I needed...I will keep you posted on that.
Please drink water, fruit juices, and the like to stay hydrated, if not the psyllium and its bulking action will bring elimination to a halt. Keep things moving!
Basically you want to work yourself up to 3 servings of psyllium a day (1 heaping tbsp in about 8oz of water or juice 3x a day), and keep hydrated...and follow the instructions to the letter on the box of tea. Do not steep for more than 2 minutes...it is very potent.
My example regimine is: 1 heaping tbsp Psyllium in juice in the morning, breakfast, then my cleanse tea, 1 heaping tbsp psyllium in juice around lunch time, lunch, 1 heaping tbsp psyllium around dinner time, dinner, and then finish the evening with my tea.
Listen to what your body tells you in regards to the amount of psyllium it can handle...work yourself up to the 3x a day.
If you take medication, take psyllium 2-3 hours before or after morning meds as not to interfere with the absorption...psyllium swells in the colon and works to peel the toxic layers off of the colon.
Like the Gallbladder cleanse, seeing is believing...and today made a believer out of me.

From an email from a dear friend of mine who I call my big brother...thanks Picnic (Jeff Paknik) for sending an email you know I would love! This is some great Native American wisdom:
Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

The Mighty Ocean Has Given Us A Great Gift
FrequenSea with Marine Phytoplankton provides a complete source of cellular nutrition (contains many phytonutrients, amino acids, minerals, trace elements, vitamins, enzymes, and cellular material not found in any other food source).
Increases Energy and Vitality.
Stabilizes Blood Sugar Levels
(helps those who are diabetic or hyperglycemic).
Alkalizing (supports restoration and balance of body pH, reducing acidity).
Detoxifying and Cleansing (supports removal of toxin build-up in cells and organs).
Cardiovascular Health (also clinically proven to reduce cholesterol).
Neurological Support (enhances brain function and helpful with ADHD, Parkinson's, and General Dementia).
Skin Care (helps relieve Acne and Psoriasis).
Vision (lipids are more potent than Lutein).
Helps Relieve Joint Pain and Inflammation.
Supports Weight Loss.
And much more - testimonials from FrequenSea users are coming in daily!
I am so happy to finally be publishing this very post. I have had the great blessing of being given some amazing information that I am longing to share with everyone!
The ocean has given us a great gift called marine phytoplankton, and it is doing TREMENDOUS things for people all over the world. It started with Tom Harper, a Vancouver shellfish farmer, who was growing this phytoplankton to feed his shellfish. After a while his health began to deteriorate, and he found out that he had Mesothelioma, a rare and very serious cancer, that survival from is basically nonexistent.
So as his health continued its downward spiral, one day he decided to dip his finger in the vats of phytoplankton and eat it, much to his family's dismay. However, when he went to get a biopsy of the sites and undergo an invasive treatment, what the doctor saw, amazed him...all sites were clear...Mr. Harper attributes his miraculous recovery to the phytoplankton, and many others have similar stories of what FrequenSea has done for them, their kids, their pets....
I implore you to check out my website, and try the product...or if you do not, get it for someone whose health is not on the mend. At the least, it will tremendously enhance quality of life, and maybe it may save one.
I decided to join as a member, in order to spread the news about this amazing discovery, because too many people are suffering and not able to afford health coverage, or even the discounted rates these discount plans offer. And too many people are having to choose between food or medicine, while the drug company representatives enjoy both food and health coverage.
It is time for us to spread the word about something natural that doesn't have side effects worse than the cure. It's time for us to not have to lose a home, job, or savings account because we have to go to the hospital. It is time for us to choose the doctors that truly have our best interests in mind, are open-minded and not stifled by their own egos.
You may only want to experience FrequenSea and not become a member, which is perfectly fine, since you are taking a stand for your health and the health of your loved ones. However, if you use FequenSea, and are amazed by its results, you may want to join up and become a member in order to be equipped with the information to truly spread the news.
Another reason I joined, aside from the discounted price for my FrequenSea purchases, was the fact that this company gives back. They do NOT take from the ocean and leave it in a horrible state. They actually give back more than they take away for FrequenSea's commercial use, and in doing so, help in making the environment better.
People reporting amazing results, a company that gives back more than it takes and keeps its miracle accessible for everyone, and gives its members and potential members a chance to build a business they can be proud of....I hope you try FrequenSea, and give it a chance to do amazing things for your life and the lives of others....blessings!

When you take words like this into your heart, it is hard to feel like you do not have a divine purpose.
The Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, let me sow pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light,
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
