Drink your Inflammation Away!
In previous post I have shared like Take Heed: Ditch Western medicine and Book Share I discussed no longer relying on Western Medicine to heal us. I am still gung-ho about this.

My Wheatgrass Journey
Did you know that 2 ounces of wheatgrass is equivalent to 4 pounds of green vegetables? Yes, it is true. I was shocked when I first found this out. I kept seeing “Wheatgrass shots” for purchase at my local Smoothie King and was curious about it. They had the health benefits posted on the wall…
Mindfulness: Reasons I Practice
My focus in life has in more recent years been to vibrate higher with a Purpose to Serve and not just a Life to Live. As I learn more and more about who I am and the world in which we live, I now believe that a purpose to serve and lifestyle to live must go…

Coffee is not my Cup of Tea
A cup of tea makes everything better; its always a good idea. I will admit that I am not like the average American because I do not drink coffee. Was there once a time when I did? Yes, but it was merely 1 cup or 1/2 a cup per a morning work day. On average, 50%…
