OUR 1440 MINUTES TODAY

THE CREATOR has work for each of us to perform in this complicated life that has been gifted us. In the counting down of these 1440 minutes I have been gifted so far today, I know in part some of the work required of me. It is my obligation as payment for the space I've been allowed to rent on this earth to be lived as closely to what MY CREATOR has directed me to fulfill as humanly possible. And with that, I KNOW THE HARVEST WILL BE PLENTIFUL. HAVE A BLESSED DAY as WE EACH STRIVE TO LIVE OUR BEST LIVES WITH and ON PURPOSE that has been DIRECTED BY GOD IN US!

JOURNEY TO BETTER HEALTH

 Here's one of the easiest health concepts I've adopted to enhance my Journey to Better Health over a month ago. I respect the wisdom of my elders and ancestors who in many ways lived with healthier habits than most of us do today. Oftentimes the "smarter" man becomes the further he moves away from magnificent preventative daily routines that afford us with living our best lives.

Each day I have included a few super healers into my daily routine and am positive continued usage will lead me to a better place as the guidance comes from listening to guidance from the SPIRIT. So here is a simple start to the better health for healing. One tblspn. organic apple cider vinegar, 1 tblspn. organic honey and 8 oz. filtered or distilled water has started my days since early June with the exception of the 4 days I was hospitalized and those were the days I probably needed to stick to it more so. For someone with a health condition such as Multiple Sclerosis, apple cider has been associated with specific healing properties.

For those who are living with chronic illness, my personal battle is Multiple Sclerosis, a simple lifestyle and diet changes can diminish symptoms and in some cases totally eliminate them. Over thirty years ago, I eliminated all pork products from my diet. About 25 years ago, red meat was removed. At the end of 2009, I pledged to myself that by the end of 2010, I will eliminate chicken and turkey. The BP poisoning of the Gulf Coast has expedited my elimination consumption of fish of which 80% of the American supply is captured from that region. By the time tarballs reach a certain destination up the east coast my fish eating days will be over.

Have any of you ever been encouraged by your treating primary doctor or neurologist to change/modify your diet? I sure haven't! Very soon I will be adding other aspects of my Journey as I will be working closely with my personal friend who is a holistic doctor.

I look FORWARD with the PROMISE GOD HAS FOR MY LIFE and that as I MOVE FORWARD WITH FAITH AND KEEPING IN TUNE WITH MY SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE THAT I WILL RECEIVE MY HEALINGS! There are plenty of references to do further inquiry, but all of my personal choices are DETERMINED BY KNOWLEDGE and SPIRIT LED BASED ON CONFIRMATION OF GOD IN ME.

IS THAT BLOOD PRESSURE CUFF OR FINGER MONITOR CLEAN? ANSWER - NO

Anyone who knows me is quite aware that I always say "YOUR SPIRIT NEVER LEADS YOU ASTRAY". The thing is - DO WE ALWAYS RESPECT IT'S GUIDANCE. Having recently been in several doctors offices and hospitalized for a few days, there are just some things that don't rest well with me. I know I'm an overly funny acting person specifically when it comes to usage of things others have used prior to me -  and especially if I don't know them. I got it honest, and actually I appreciate my defensive nature when it comes to caring about me. These days, you must be vigilant about the things you're exposed to. This is not about OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. THANKS MOM! One of my recent issues while at both places has been the usage of blood pressure cuffs and the finger pulse monitor.

Never again, while I am in a conscious state of mind allow anyone to use either device on me without me actually seeing the devices cleaned. There are thousands of studies and articles available of which I've read only a few but just enough to confirm - "MY SPIRIT NEVER LEADS ME ASTRAY!"  BE BLESSED!

Today I've begun my new commitment to RENEWAL...well actually I began incorporating a few elements with consistency a few days ago. Several weeks ago, quite possibly 49 days ago, my life took on a more determined sense of urgency. My plans for 2010 have been wrapped around just that - RENEWAL. So began  this JOURNEY TO BETTER HEALTH.

I made my list of things I've learned over the last 35 years in my head - but mainly targeted to the last more than 17 when I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. After rewinding my tape of experiences and WEALTH of SELF EMPOWERMENT,  I can hear my Mother's voice ringing in my ears - "NOW IS THE APPOINTED TIME." Thanks Mom.

My analysis of my own SPIRITUALLY - HEALING - EMOTIONAL  QUESTS confirm the answers I NEED - I HAVE ALREADY HAVE ACQUIRED. Funny a therapist I though4t I needed to talk to told me the same thing over fifteen years ago during one of the more stressful periods of my life, and I never looked back. When she told me "You seem to have your answers already" ....  that was it for me!

It's a small beginning but MONUMENTAL COMMITMENT just to be focused on this JOURNEY TO BETTER HEALTH. This past weekend, I brought into existence two other elements that I needed, ordered one of them and will have it in a few days. For now, each day, there are several things - simple lifestyle changes that - are verified to work for me - and possibly others to eliminate symptoms that pull apart the quality of life of the chronically ill with a CNS disorder. I'll add some links later or tomorrow, but my SHORT LIST WILL BE adhered to - TO THE LETTER - DAILY! There are no more excuses - no other options -

THIS ONE LIFE, THIS CHALLENGED LIFE IS ALL I HAVE TO WORK WITH and I WILL LISTEN INTENTLY TO HOW and WHERE GOD - MY CREATOR - MY SOURCE LEADS ME.

THE HEALTH CARE PLAN IS TO BE HEALTHY!

Last week this time, I had an IV hooked up in my arm. I was delayed almost a week when an inept worker at one of the medical services mishandled  my paper work and held up my treatment/healing. Another inconvenient task to fill in filing an official complaint against this company, but necessary for correction. Two days later, my vein collapsed and I had to get a new line in the other arm. The medicine is necessary for now. I worked through my many sufferings with Multiple Sclerosis for years and now can still have decent access to health care. That's part of how a NEVER GIVE UP/HANG IN THERE AS LONG AS YOU CAN persistence pays dividends.

Life is difficult with so many battles to fight -  a sick body while trying to hold on to your buoy, your lifeline, your sanity. I'm so grateful, I didn't have to go into the hospital to get the same care I can get at home now. That's an entirely different subject area. Everybody's situation is different.

I think about the day, actually LOOKING FORWARD TO IT when I'll have a Cadillac Health Care Plan - BUT I'LL BE HEALTHY - and have it as my buffer. That's the HEALTH CARE PLAN - TO BE HEALTHY! ...and SO IT WILL BE!

Although I did begin part of "MY NEW SEASON" yesterday, points I have chosen to begin with are being worked on tonight/tomorrow to be shared in more detail.

So, on that note, although I've been slowed out the gate in posting my efforts that passed on Friday, I am continuing with my personal "READYING FOR A NEW SEASON WITH INFINITE POSSIBILITIES". It is my hope to engage as many who are interested to at least begin their own cause for change that will lead to a higher level of empowerment. I am looking forward to chatting with all who are seeking changes whether small or on a full blown larger scale. From the smallest of efforts, monumental changes have come into existence. I'M ALWAYS AIMING HIGH, but for now the seeds for this journey will be efforts I can comfortably wrap my psyche around without being overwhelmed. Hoping to chat soon, BE BLESSED!
