Summer’s Allure vs Online Social Networking
Back in the late 90's I discovered the internet. It was so COOL how you could instant message with people and I spent hours chatting online. I loved writing and getting emails... I even met my ex-husband online in a chat room... Then came blogs... They replaced instant messaging for me (all that chatting got a bit old and felt too intrusive) and I really enjoyed reading dozens of different blogs, and leaving comments. I started half a dozen different topical blogs myself and loved getting comments and responding to them. I've spent HOURS upon HOURS reading and responding to threads on ...
So very very tired…
This morning I woke up disoriented. I thought I heard Rodents Of An Unusual Size (ROUS) chomping on the drywall of my parents work studio where we've been living since the end of May, but when I opened my eyes I discovered it was a dragonfly trapped in the skylight above my bed. His wings were clicking against the glass. Delightful. So much better than ROUS. I tripped my way over boxes and piles of stuff I had started unpacking last night and made my way to my master suite bathroom. As I peed I smiled to myself. I am the ...
A Visit from the Pedouin Family On a Quint Cycle Journey
[caption id="attachment_3441" align="alignnone" width="588" caption="L to R Adults: April, Bill, Brent, & Amarins. L to R Children: Micah, Robin, Cheyenne, & Jasmine."][/caption] I have been following the incredible journey of the Vogel Family, as they biked from the top of Alaska to the tip of South America... along the way they posted a link to another biking family, the Pedouins, who were biking from Kentucky to Alaska on a Quint Cycle. I checked out their website, and discovered they would be on Vancouver Island in June 2010. At the time, we were living on a property that had a great layout ...
Healing Treatment Plan – Take 2
Last summer, a year tomorrow actually, our family embarked on what would end up being a 5 month healing treatment plan. We had every intention of completing it around April of this year, but then in January I discovered I was pregnant, and immediately derailed the family's treatment regime. Then came the month of March from hell. I had a miscarriage, hemorrhaged and had to have emergency D&C surgery. We thought that was bad, but then we found out we had to move out of our home and find a new location for our home salon business... Over the following 3 ...
Chlorella – My Miracle Supplement
When I did my candida cleanse Dr. D prescribed chlorella supplements and said it would curb any cravings, would help detoxify my body, and would start rebuilding my digestive enzymes. I started out taking 6 grams twice a day. And she was right! No cravings at all. Now that may not seem all that miraculous to you, but I have tried every diet under the sun my entire adult life and could never last more than a few weeks due to intense cravings. To have the ability to complete a 3 month stringent diet without a single cheat was like a ...

April’s Incredible Shrinking Act – Down 23.4 lbs to Date!
August 1st I was at my all time heaviest weight. 280 lbs. More than 20 lbs over the weight I was when I was 9 months pregnant in 2003. Emotionally I was at an all time low. Physically my body was giving up. I was in chronic pain in my hip, ribs and back, and I felt really sick all the time. My SIL is a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor, and she offered...
