Do you remember the way you felt that horrible September 11th eight years ago?  It was early morning in Hawaii, and I remember it well.

My heart aches as I type this.

How did you process your emotions of sorrow and anguish?  The world is still mourning that day!

My process involved a whole lotta tears.  I hope you found something equally as effective.  You can’t keep that strong emotion inside you, even though it may feel safer to stuff it.

It isn’t necessary to focus on painful anniversaries, but if they bring up old emotion, take advantage of the blessing and release all that stuff you’ve been holding onto.

Be gentle with yourself.  Time heals but it can also bring up new layers of grief.  Some aspects of the grieving process are just too painful to bear until some time has passed.

The following song really helps me.  The Eagles wrote it during their healing process from 9–11.  I love what they ask from each of us.

Besides ripping our hearts out, September 11th also caused us to reach out to each other in a way that I don’t think many had experienced in their lifetime.

Didn’t the pain of September 11th cause your hardened heart to melt?

What have you done with all that fear and sorrow?

What steps have you taken to assure that there will never be such a hole in the world ever agian?

What steps can you take today?

What can you do to heal the world so there will be no more holes?

One person CAN make a difference!

Many blessings,

Carrie

Assisted Suicide: Does Death Sound Like Your Best Option?

While checking one of my statistic tools, I noticed that someone found their way to my blog through Google, by typing in the question:

How do I get someone to kill me for free?”

I have no way of knowing the circumstances around this individual’s wish, but the thought made me sad.

Assisted suicide sometimes feels like the best way out of suffering.

Losing the activities you love really robs your quality of life.  Lose your independence and you may feel ready to leave your body.

Bring on pain and suffering, and the temptation to control the circumstances of your death becomes increasingly attractive.

I’m not one to spend time debating whether or not assisted suicide should be legal, because I choose to focus on what CAN be done to improve life.  There may be a place for that discussion, but it won’t be on this blog.

My purpose for blogging is two fold

#1– to help you understand that you must take care of yourself or you will pay the consequences.

#2– to bring you the urgent message that your body has an amazing ability to heal, so don’t count yourself out.

If you have lost your health, the medical industry wants to drug you and keep you alive while you deteriorate from your illness. Therefore, it seems impossible to believe that the return of your health is even possible.

Feeling Better May Be As Simple As:

  • proper nourishment
  • focused joy
  • plenty of healthy activity.

Assisted suicide is a final, irrevocable decision… you never know what is possible.

People of all ages and situations consider suicide when they reach their limit.

How Do You Easily Relieve That Bone Tired Feeling From Post Holiday Fatigue?

Before you reach for a bottle of pills or alcohol, think of simple and wholesome ways to relieve that deep down tired feeling.

The woman of the house is the most prone to suffer post holiday fatigue.  Please, if you don’t need a bit of nurturing today, then find someone near and dear to you who is, and make sure she takes care of herself.

Ten years ago, when I first began my struggle with auto immune disease, I was forever looking for pain relief that was natural and wouldn’t knock me out.

Dr. Teal's Epsom Salt

I was taking a class on the weekends with a group of women from my daughters’ school.  The subject of pain relief came up and one of the ladies suggested I try a hot bath with plenty of Epsom Salt.

It seemed a bit too simplistic to possibly help with the extreme pain that I had been coping with, but hey, I would have tried anything at that point.

You would not believe the amount of pain that you can soak away in 20 minutes!

Stiff Neck and Shoulders

Do you literally have a pain in the neck most of the time?

Are you often tense?

You are in good company.

It seems to be going around.

If you have had head, neck, shoulder, or back pain lately answer the following questions:

  1. Have you had any water to drink today?
  2. Do you work up a light sweat with activity regularly?
  3. Do you eat your foods mostly processed, or whole?
  4. Do you eat your foods mostly cooked, or raw?
  5. Are you a habitual user of stimulants?
  6. How easy is it for you to express your emotions?
  7. Are you harboring any grudges?

Now ask yourself one more question.  Are you ready to take action to reduce your pain?  Sick of that stiff neck? Read more
