Wednesday- Day 19

A new day, a new month! September 1st. I really like the ring of that! 🍂

While I had a really good night sleep (only up once to use bathroom which is common and I typically always fall right back to sleep), I was glad I fell asleep shortly after getting into bed. One of the areas I noted was that this Purification has not helped in the sleep department.

Since we don’t get home until after 5:30 (the work days are long) we don’t sit down to supper until at least 6:30. Then we need to wait at least 2 hours to go to bed which 9 pm works for us, especially when the goal is to be up by 4:30. Although I would like to be up by 4:15. However since Sunday night I’ve had to take melatonin as I just get into bed and then become awake and lie there. Just warmed not hot fresh milk sprinkle with nutmeg does the trick. I caved last night I have milk at. 8 o’clock no problem falling asleep as I typically do before yes.

Well back to meals for the day! It was a whirlwind of a day too.

Smoothie: 2T SP Pro Complete, 2T Whey Pro Complete, 1 cup Califia coconut milk, 1 peach, 1/4 cup chopped fresh dates

Breakfast: sautéed in olive oil, Cipollini onion, shiitake mushrooms and tatsoi (I added the additional way pro complete this morning because I had no other proteins available. Bill had his soft boiled eggs).


Lunch: 1 cup butternut squash, red lentil soup made with coconut milk, sautéed onions made on Sunday. Salad of arugula, watercress, cherry tomato, cucumber with olive oil and apple cider vinegar. Note to self: certain greens do not sit well until lunch with dressing on it. Certain death of wilt.

Supper: thank heaven for smoothies. I had a massage scheduled at 3:30. When I was done I noted a text from my hairdresser. It was 4:45. My appointment with her for tomorrow afternoon was actually today. So I went straight away and arrived home at seven.

Dinner smoothie: 2T SP Pro Complete, 2T Whey Pro Complete, 1 cup raw milk, 1 peach, 1/4 tsp cardamom powder. 

Well not much more to write tonight. It’s time to just relax. A cup of chai rooibos tea with a splash of milk. And then bed. Night! 🛏

Touching the sky . . .

Life is good. Waiting for the coffee to brew. Mom has one of those new Keurig machines. I am going to try the Nantucket roast. I may decide I like this machine -- I have retired my auto drip and pulled out my one cup DeLonghi espresso machine. Think I would prefer to grind my own beans and use a reusable basket if I bought one. The disposables are just that. Disposable. And fresh ground coffee just tastes better. But the matter of coffee wasn't foremost on my mind this morning. I woke sifting through the fading dreams sleep brought, and the waking transition of life as a parent with children leaving for college this week. Moving day Wednesday for my daughter, Saturday for my son. Many parents go through this. An empty nest feeling some call it. So opposite to the nesting before childbirth. We prepare and anticipate. Now they spread wings and fly to create dreams and goals of their own. The way it should be. It is this transition of life that we feel when these normal ...

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...

Now is the time. ..

There are some days when I reflect perhaps too deeply.  Sometimes I think many of us, myself included at times, live in a bubble.  Our own world.  When I find myself wondering why my life has led me to where I am, looking at both the joys and struggles, the dreams and reality, it is then I am thankful to God for where I am. Now is the time to consider to reflect to own and embrace all that life shows us. Now is the time for life is fleeting as we do not know the day or the hour of our passing to another life. Now is the time for life is ephermeral as the petals of a flower the puff ball of the dandelion all changing within a blink of our eye and with a passing of our footsteps. Now is the time for life is transitory as the changing of the seasons: crimson autumn colors shimmering winter snows aromatic spring blossoms soft summer rain. Now is the time to put aside regrets old hurts make amends create new bridges begin anew no...
