US Open Surfing Championship

A Surfing Extravaganza!

We went “downtown” today to eat lunch at one of our favorite places, North Shore Poke Company. We knew the US Open was going on, and wondered if we were making a mistake… First hint was that we had to park quite a few blocks away, and joked about how we could have walked from home and it wouldn’t have made much difference!

The sea of humanity is always amazing to behold! On a normal day you can actually see down the pier!

We were shocked!

It appears that bathing suit makers have solved the problem of bikini bottoms not fitting all shapes of women… they no longer cover the bottoms and have taking the form of a thong instead. My husband made the comment that he couldn’t believe fathers would allow their daughters to wear such “bathing suits”, knowing how he thought as a youth with hormones raging! People wonder why there are so many sexual crimes yet they wear such fashions. Personally I found it repulsive.

close up… only from a distance! I am grateful that I was raised in an era when a woman’s body was covered fashionably and tastefully rather than paraded around in a trashy manner. The girls were not only walking around with the bikinis that made you wonder why they even bothered to wear anything, but they also wrote on their bodies with felt pens “Free hugs” as if their attire wasn’t enough advertisement, and even more suggestive things with their phone numbers at the end.

As much as we love surfing…

I don’t think we will brave that experience again. It’s unfortunate that a great competition is tainted by such low class behavior. I used to be baffled at why girls were wearing their tight jeans short shorts unzipped as they flashed their bodies walking down the streets at the beach… I found myself wishing they had those shorts on! Makes one ask what will be the next fashion????

 

 

Ask yourself…DSC_0004

What do you truly want? Do you want the respect of someone who will treat you like royalty? If you don’t respect yourself, how will you ever attract someone who will respect you? Energy healing helps bring everything into balance. When you truly love yourself, your behavior will reflect that. Clear the emotional blocks to accepting yourself! It works!

My Favorite Debunked Myth!

Excited to visit this topic today!

I have been participating in the Ultimate Blog Challenge, where I’m challenged to blog every day. One of the facilitators, Michelle Shaeffer, sends ideas daily for you to blog about. Today she mentioned myths that may pertain to your business, and the bells began ringing and lights were flashing! My favorite debunked myth!

Energy Healing = Religious Spirituality

Energy healing is dealing with the spirit and therefore is the same as religious spirituality. Wrong! I can see how people may become confused… I have even seen where Energy Practitioners have confused this, so don’t feel badly that this has been a misconception for you! This is a very tender topic, so please know that I mean no animosity but rather approach this subject as matter of fact.

Energy Healing is not Religious Spirituality

Energy work is intangible, you talk about emotions and you feel joyous, peaceful or lighter afterwards. Religious spirituality requires one to exercise their faith and believe, and when you do so wholeheartedly, you feel those same emotions of joy, peace and burdens lifted. So I can see where people get confused…

Consider this question…

Let me ask, for those who have experienced Acupuncture, did you go to your minister for your treatment? Of course not, unless he happened to actually be a practicing acupuncturist. An acupuncturist works with the meridians – one of the energy systems of the body.
In most religions, it is taught that Jesus Christ is the healer of our souls and therefore also our bodies. So, having this knowledge, would you stop going to your doctor? Of course not. I love having the freedom of going to my doctor, and discussing the choices of treatment available when necessary. Or, I love that I can go to a dentist and have that tooth ache remedied!

What Energy Healing is…

In energy healing, the main focus is clearing out negative emotions embedded in your body. All energy systems are examined. When a blockage is found, it is released – not by the practitioner, but by the client. Often times the actual block is not even discussed. Techniques and protocol are followed, the block is released, healing begins. The healing is accomplished between the client or person and his belief system in deity. Energy healing is one more tool in your “medicine cabinet” to restore your good health. It compliments any and all other therapies you choose.

I invite you

Break the chain that has prevented you from moving forward. Do it for yourself and for those you are connected to through family relationships. You will be amazed and grateful you did!

Love a Good Horror Movie?

It’s Movie Time!

Well here’s one, just in time for the Halloween season… except this one is not bloody and has no gore! It’s reminiscent of the brilliance of Alfred Hitchcock.

Even though I’m an adult, I do not attend movies that are explicit or leave you full of negative emotional energy. I believe this film will be a great one to go see. I’m hoping it will come to a theater near me! It is a suspense thriller that does not have the gore and language that most teen films have today. This movie is being promoted nationwide, and I support it because I’m frankly tired of all the language and sex in teen movies today.

And this…

I realize not everyone bothers to monitor what they will tolerate at the movie theater. I have see the DSC_0004difference it makes in my life to only attend movies that are uplifting, exciting or entertaining on a level that does not leave me feeling dark or disturbed. Why do movie producers think they have to mess with your mind to entertain you? Have we become so calloused that in order to be entertained we must view blood, gore or sex? I surely hope not. Let’s send a message to Hollywood that we appreciate films such as this. Click on the video and leave a comment there. Include your zip code so Hollywood will see that people all over the nation are interested in having this movie come to their town in time for Halloween!

Generational Healing – the fun part about Energy healing

Generational Healing? What’s that?

Many people even those who are familiar with energy healing are not familiar with Generational Healing. This is one of the wonderful aspects of having a SimplyHealed™ Energy Healing session.

Energy work is a simple approach to changing your thought patterns. You can change your DNA through your thoughts. As you change your thoughts, you change your attitude from negative to positive and the world opens up for you.

A brief explanation…

Upon viewing a newborn infant we admire all the physical traits inherited from mother or father; what we can not see are the emotions, experiences and wisdom inherited from many generations of mothers and fathers. Referring to our DNA, experiences of our ancestors are not lost but rather are imprinted upon the cells in our bodies. This is known as cellular memory. Emotions and experiences of our ancestors can affect our lives and our family’s lives. Re-balancing our energy releases the negative emotions and experiences inherited from our ancestors.

An explanation by Carolyn Cooper, Founder of the SimplyHealed Method®

Hope you enjoyed listening…

Our Big Splurge! Yonanas!

Do you love ice-cream?

…but have sworn off all those chemicals, processed sugars, fat and dairy? That was the position we were in. My husband has LOVED ice-cream all his life, but made a serious, life changing adjustment to his diet. He feels great now and had enjoyed his body healing and improving, however, he missed ice-cream.

WHAT AN EXCITING FIND!

We were at Bed, Bath and Beyond over the weekend and decided to buy a Yonanas frozen fruit soft serve machine because of a video that was similar to this one being shown in the store:

If you can’t see the video, click here for the link

Disclaimer… though I recommend the ice cream portion of the video, I do not recommend the waffles or any other extra ingredient suggested in the video. I’m a purist! Just the fruit please!

It was devoured before we even thought of the camera!

I have to apologize that we didn’t take our own pictures… we just didn’t believe it could be THIS GOOD!!!

There was one drawback…

Seriously, the hardest part about this was waiting the suggested 10 minutes for the frozen fruit to arrive at the perfect temperature to feed through the chute. Once we turned on the machine, in about 40 seconds, we had the most creamy, delicious and satisfying ice-cream! And the only ingredients were 3 frozen bananas and about 8 frozen strawberries! That was enough to delight both me and my husband and our twin grandsons – one of which has a hollow leg!

So many choices!

We can’t wait to try mixing peaches & bananas and even some cantaloupe! I even read where someone mixed kiwi with avocados! I would adore that!!! Maybe I better try planting another avocado tree – or maybe not… I’ll save that explanation for another blog post!

For your convenience…

I’ve included a link in My Recommendations to the right where you can purchase it from Amazon. It’s on a slide show, but you can advance the show by running your mouse over the pictures and clicking the little arrows.

I am SO GRATEFUL!!!

I am just SO GRATEFUL for this wonderful little machine because now we can eat healthy and no longer be tempted to eat unhealthy foods for desserts. It seriously doesn’t get any better than this… OH WAIT… I forgot acai berry frozen concentrate! There’s just so much you can do with this little wonder machine.

Join me

DSC_0004I hope you will join me in changing your diet from eating refined sugars and processed food. There’s really no reason to eat in that manner! Your healthy body is waiting for your permission to blossom! After all, we do not know how long we will live on this earth, so we may as well do all we can to ensure we have a good quality of life until our graduating departure. The best way to do accomplish that is to eat a whole foods diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
