Love Who You Are Experience, Day #20!

Day Twenty!

Congratulations you've made it through the 20 day Love Who You Are Experience! I would love to know how the experience went for you. How are you feeling today compared to how you felt that first week, that first weekend? Take a moment to leave some thoughts down below. 

Today is also Mother's Day! Happy Mother's Day to all of you! I want to extend the invitation to you to think of today as a day to celebrate womanhood and the role of "mothers." While you may have children, or you may not, you may be a bereaved mother, a soon to be mother, or you may not be to that place in your life, you deserve to be celebrated!

Day Eighteen

We've talked a little about Feminine Essence, I love the way those two words sound! They are beautiful and powerful!

Today you have the opportunity to learn about two different energies or forces that we have on this planet. They are both powerful and work best when they are balanced and complement one another. These two energies are: feminine energy and its opposite... masculine energy.

What does Feminine Energy mean to you?
What words come to mind? What are their opposites?
What words describe MASCULINE  Energy?

Feminine vs. MASCULINE

Day Sixteen

We use affirmations during pregnancy and birth to fill the mind with positive thoughts and strength.

Affirmations or Declarations are capable of doing the same thing. The unique thing about declarations is that they belong to you. You get to choose what they are and what message they send.

What are declarations?

Declarations are a statement or series of statements that you read and say aloud to yourself. If you see it and read it, you will become it! Don't believe me? Put it to the test. I dare you!

The really cool and exciting thing about this is that it is so simple!! Small and simple things have the power and ability to become large and great things.

I had no idea how much I needed this experience, until I did it myself. It was just over seven months ago when I accepted the challenge and WOW! My experience was phenomenal! IT WAS LIFE CHANGING!

Social media sites often make us feel much more alone than connected to other people.We tend to focus on all of the things that they have, that she has...

She must be doing something right..

She has it all figured out.

Look at how beautiful she is.

She has a good body.

She is a good mom.

She is lucky. She is blessed.

She is loved more than I am.

If only I had more _________. Then I could be happy like her.

I am not alone in this.  Have you ever felt this way?

Maybe you've heard about them? Or maybe you have no idea what I'm talking about?

Today you are going to learn about the benefits of choosing a menstrual cup, basic instructions, and just how easy they are to use. 

I am sharing this information with you today because since I have ditched all tampons and other feminine care products, my life has changed... for the better! I have no plans or thoughts of going back. EVER!

Menstrual cups really are too good to be kept a secret. You my friend deserve to learn more about them!

Functional Medicine

Functional medicine to is well.. functional. Functional - Relating to the way in which something works or operates.

Kevin in an attempt to be funny, said, "So does that mean that other types of medicine are non-functional?" I couldn't help to laugh, but I have to admit that he is incredibly smart...

Functional medicine is "a medical practice or treatments that focus on optimal functioning of the body and its organs, usually involving systems of holistic or alternative medicine."

What we really have here is a PERFECT balance between Holistic/Natural expertise and Modern Medicine.

Fermented Lemonade

Fermenting foods is so EASY! Of course I didn't think that at first, but now that I have made several different items, I can safely say that anyone can do this!

I wanted to start off simple. I decided on Lemonade! Lemonade + Probiotics = A Happy Tummy

Below is a picture from a facebook post I made. You will see two half gallons of lemonade. I believe one was raspberry and one was strawberry. I also made a batch of Fermented Carrot Sticks.
