Reflections from the Heart

Bashful © Cynthia Gallo, 2012

In retrospect I am a deep thinker. So much so, there are times I have trouble shutting down my mind. Especially at night. I have tried journaling but never seem to be consistent enough to keep it going. And while I never considered myself a poet, I have my moments when the Spirit brings forth the creativity within my soul, and the feelings and words meld together.

Reflections of the Heart was written in such a moment when my heart was feeling a bit heavy with nostaglia.

Reflections of the Heart

Ephemeral thoughts
of days gone by
of stories not told
of lives not shared.

All shapes and sizes
like people
not always what we have done,
but what we have failed to do.

Unspoken words
a missed card
of a special moment in time.

The failing to share a beautiful moment
or an anticipation
or endearment
or celebration.

Without taking the initiative
think of the possibilities
or the enrichment
of making the connection
missed.

Then the moment is gone
and we feel the void
of what could of
if we would of.

And while the hands of the clock
move not backward
let not the lamentations
stop the pendulum of our hearts
from moving forward.

Thursday - Day 13

Sometimes I wonder if we are the only ones who feel the craziness of the morning. Life would be simpler if we woke say 90 minutes before work, groomed, then grabbed a bowl of cereal and out the door. However, if we did that, I wouldn’t be writing a blog that I hope could be helpful to someone else someday. This week has been such a run-on sentence. I have to ask myself “do I feel better than I did before I started this 13 days ago?” Yes and No. I think I have more energy in the morning if I get a good night sleep, yet, once I have my morning walk before work (between 2 and 2.5 miles), I still often feel drained. Perhaps it is the sultry August mornings that are exhausting. I still have sinus issues that usually are seasonal, but the seasonal issue came back in the spring of 2020 and is still here. So I kept it simple this morning, the best that I could do, maintained all the supplements, and for the morning smoothie I just threw in SP Complete, beets, carrots, cilantro, ginger and...

Standard Process Purification: The Takeaway

Saturday, September 4, 2021 Me this morning. Three weeks have passed since beginning the Standard Process Purification cleanse. Questions such as “How do I feel?”, “What do I notice?”, “Was it worth it?”, “Would I do it again?” and "Moving forward" are all questions to be reflected upon. I don’t know about you, but many generations just lived, ate seasonally, and didn’t pay much attention to the catchall words that we have today such as “organic” and “sustainable eating.” They already were!!!! Farmers worked hard, still do. Today our society has changed and many of us are stuck behind desks and are on the run so much that the food we eat and unhealthy habits we have formed have been problematic to our overall health, posture, spinal health, obesity, amongst others. There is more disease than ever before in this country, much which has been our own doing, but even more so, the culture and environmental factors around us contribute to dis-ease and our unnecessary stressful liv...

Monday - Day 3

OH YES!!! Today certainly was a Monday . I would of thought with as much food prep as I did Saturday and Sunday, the morning would have been a bit more smooth. Of course not -- but they never are on Mondays! It doesn't help that we have relatively small kitchen space. When we bought our townhouse and my daughter visited for the first time, one of the first things she commented on was about the size of the kitchen. Truthfully, someone who likes to cook - I really do! - needs larger work space. But I've never had it. The workday routine is quite full. My alarm went off at 4:30, out of bed by 4:40 and was on my mat for 20 minutes of stretching right after a trip to the bathroom. By 5:30 I was down in the kitchen getting breakfast and lunch prepared, eat, and to be out of the house by 6:45 to walk before work. Have I made you tired yet? Even lunch was rushed since I needed to go out and pick up the SP Pro Complete. Needless to say ...
