Some suggest the earth’s energy is uniquely aligned at such times. Others simply mark it as a point of new beginning or transition in their lives. For me, it’s …

Redirected, Day 1

July 4, 2012 Angie 0 Comments

I was up until after midnight last night reading and processing the available information on nourishing my body back to health. It seems there are a number of considerations. I need to detox. I need to alkalize my internal environment. I need to drastically improve my red blood count. I have to decide what I …

Redirected

July 4, 2012 Angie 2 Comments

It’s funny how things come along in life to serve as a point of redirection. Yesterday I got redirected. Yesterday I was given the opportunity to decide whether or not I truly believe what I say I believe…. ….about health, nutrition, wellness, medical intervention, and more. Yesterday I learned that I have fabulous cholesterol levels. …

This Is What Jesus Looks Like

July 29, 2010 Angie 2 Comments

The past two weeks, I have removed, relocated, boxed, and stored any number of images of Jesus, the “Blessed Mother”, various saints, and more. While my own feelings toward organized religion, including that of my husband’s mother, are a wee bit hostile (understatement), the one thing I can say about my mother-in-law’s faith is that …

Tree Sex and Nature's Womb

May 4, 2010 Angie 2 Comments

The title might be a little over the top, yet there is something so amazing about a year in which nature outdoes herself in productivity. This winter saw an abundance of snowfall in our region. The old timers say lots of snow is what the fruit trees love. I’m sayin’ lots of snow is what …

Hippozebrapotamus Sightings and Other Self-Image Issues

April 30, 2010 Angie 2 Comments

I like me. Really I do. I even like most of my body, most of the time. I can look in the mirror at 42 years old and say to myself, “Honey, you rock!” and really mean it. I clean up well. I think. Hunky Farmer Boy says it, too, so it must be true. …

We Interrupt the Regularly Scheduled Schedule for a Little Bit of Self Care

April 20, 2010 Angie 2 Comments

I am home today, ditching work/school. Funny thing about it….it was an easy decision. Usually it is an agonizing decision and unless I or a child is on our “deathbed”, off to work I trudge. Sometimes even a child on her “deathbed” couldn’t convince me to use those precious leave days. Often Dad has been …
