Season of Garden Goodness


A couple years ago Bruce and I started eating
mostly veggies - plant based foods we felt great
after feeling not so great the last while 
and reading so many posts about people feeling
so good after eating this way...
we are trying it again - starting today!

Little Secrets that really work



I know this because I have tried and prove them for my self - 
Many of you know I suffer from Fibromyalgia and Costochondritis
pain meds do not work for me so I have learned thru
healthy eating, lifestyle changes and exercise that
I can manage my pain and function quite well


 1. Celery is a wonder food -  I suffer from chronic heartburn if I eat a couple sticks of
     celery every day before during or after means - no more heartburn!!

2.  Consuming too much sugar causes me to wake up with excruciating lower back pain
     in the night -  cut back on sugar very little lower back pain in the night!! Plus you will
     lose weight and bloat

3. My friend told me that taking Turmeric has helped her manage her aches and pains -
     so I started taking it - day 3 and my aches and pains are not gone completely but they
     are less - even with the cool damp weather - it also helps with water retention and
     the weight that magically appears during menopause

4. Letting go... lately I have had to convince myself it's okay to separate ones self from people
    who drag us down - people who live for constant drama and "poor me" attitudes -
    Its also okay for me to post what I want on "MY" blogs -  after all they are mine -
    if you don't like what I post here or on my other blogs you don't have to follow me - you
    don't have to come here and "see"
    I was unfriended last week by someone for the second time
    since we became "friends" I have NO IDEA why - and I have decided that it doesn't really
    matter if it takes that much effort to be someones friend its time to "Let Go"!!
