Okay... I haven't had a piece of bread in a week! That is saying something.  I have snacked on pistashios (the 'skinny nut', so I've recently learned..30 nuts = approx 100 calories). I've made some Boars Head turkey, munster cheese, lettuce wraps, enjoyed scrambled eggs for breakfast, sampled   fruit: strawberries are exceptional right now.. and  found tacos when on the road  ( not really recommended with the Wheat Belly plan, but I'm feeling my way through this..) There have been other meals  as well  of course .. trying to stick with protien and veggies, eggs and cheese.. got some pinto beans soaking right now...and I have ordered my new bread baking machine .. yep, I'm serious.  I must admit however that  I was tempted off my path by some dinner invites this week that sounded good at the time, but such is life.. this is going to take some work and patience.. old habits die hard. But in the mean time  while perusing wheat free and alternative dietary sites I found this really nice website and blog with a beautiful, downloadable mini cookbook filled with delicious looking, recipies of real, whole food  right here... Click here to visit Beyond The Peel Whole Living.
   Right off the bat ..for some reason, I find myself getting up before sunrise between 6 and 7 AM ideas flowing  with energy to boot.
Hmmmm.
  I have  just recently started a new business which which I am very excited about. 'The sky is the limit' with this thing and the timeing is perfect! ( More about that later). And, I am finally  taking advantage of some  great mentoring with regard to marketing my art.(Another thing dear to my heart.)  So, the new year is starting out with a bang and  I guess the excitement and novelty could be spurring the early rising phenomenon!
Well.. that is all for now.  Later.. gotta go check those beans!

New Thought Health, Wealth & Beauty

Today is January 3, 2013!  I made it!   I haven't posted anything in awhile. ( To say the least.)
 I have reservations about 'blogging' .  I don't want to post stupid stuff.  I am a bit self conscious,  and yet, I feel like I have  alot to say and offer.
I am a chiropractor.. but more of a natural healer. By natural, I mean that even though I am a  trained professional, and have been practicing some 25 years.. I rely heavily on my intuition when treating my patients.   I am also an artist. I have been painting for about 35 years. Some of my artwork is considered quite good I'm happy to say.  I know I have a gift and talent but I don't want to sound too egotistical. But you could say that art and my pursuance of it has been a lifelong passion and driving force for me.
I am a woman and am now in my sixties. When I was younger I enjoyed the status of being ' attractive.' What a lovely thing. How disappointing when time  and life take their toll.  How wonderful when we realize that  beauty is something that is inside
of us and  shines though  no matter how long we have been here.
I grew up in the 60's so I've seen a lot and am very much a product of my era.
After being there, doing that and seeing it all ..I was feeling pretty depressed.  No longer any aspirations or dreams.. little motivation and little inspiration... But then something miraculous happened..
After all the self improvement books, the decades of spiritual searching. I feel like I am getting  a second chance.  A chance to be better , at this age.  I am  begining the  journey anew... a  journey of self  're- discovery' based on the knowledge of  what doesn't work and inspired by revolutionary new information  and ancient healing arts, tools and wisdom.. 
And,  I am starting  this blog over as a sort of journal and an interactive tool to highlight and record my progress and pitfalls along the way,  as well as to share the pearls of wisdom and experience I glean with others.
It will be a work in progress and probably require constant editing. I plan on embellishing  with pictures and/or  videos when I figure out how..  but, for now....
To begin with ,and the timeing couldn't be more perfect,   I started the amazing ,best selling book by Dr. Willliam Davis," Wheat Belly."    over the weekend.  Actually, I'm listening to it on Audible.com from Amazon. They have a great introductory offer right now.. Thirty (30) day free trial with 2 free books!  Anyways to say that this book is revolutionary is an understatement.!  I was looking for something.. not a diet.. but  a lifestyle change.. and this book is definitely the game changer for me.  And this is the journey I plan to share.
I hope you will join me.  And I hope I am faithful to it as well.  ( your  job  will be to remind me.) I have an attention problem as well as  some comitment issues.. but I have a feeling things are going to be different this year.  Happy New Year to All.  Let's make it our year to become who we are meant to be. God bless  and Peace out there! . :)
