May 2008 happened......

May 2008 happened..........

I was invited to a Natural Health class.  I walked in with an ancillary issue of being plagued by a flea. I whined about my bites and they said, "There's an oil for that!"  The oil was Purification.  I put some on my itchy, red welts and settled back to listen to the very informative presentation.  Did you know that your toothpaste and household cleaners are the two most toxic things in your home?  Whoa. That was news to me!  After the presentation was complete, I looked at my leg.  Hmmmmm.  The redness and itchiness had subsided.  Maybe there was something to this.  Maybe this was an option to explore.

Marianne Williamson

A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkess that most frightens us.  We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you NOT to be?  You are a child of God.  Your playing small does not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.  We are all meant to shine, as children do.  We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.  It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.  And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.  As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

The beginning

May 2008 was the culmination of a seeking............
My daughter got sick every year with a cold.  It settled in her chest and a cough would ensue that she could not get rid of.  In desperation we would go to the doctor and he would always prescribe antibiotics.  Antibiotics would knock it out, but there were always those unpleasant side effects.  Also, I questioned the fact that when we went to the doc, the visit was an in and out thing.  Go in, tell what specific issue you were having, get antibiotics or a pill of some sort and get out.  I just knew there had to be a better way.  Why couldn't we get out of the vicious cycle?  What could we do differently so that my daughter would not get sick every year?  Why didn't the doc ask what else was going on in her life such as what she was eating, how much sleep she was getting, what her stress level were?  ???  These were things I would ponder.  I can remember being at a stop light and saying something like, "Lord, I know there is a better way.  I know there is.  Please help!"  

Then May 2008 happened.  I was invited to a class...........
