I am my own child

I am my own child. Every thought, action, or intention affects who I am, what I was and what I shall become. Living simply and in a fulsome way generates good energy physically and mentally. It will allow you to eat right, enjoy your food and benefit from the nutrition it offers with better health and feelings of Well-Being. Your microbiome is unique to you and changes continuously throughout your life. The millions of good gut bacteria depend on how you experience life. The bacteria fluctuates with what you eat, how you eat, when you eat and the thoughts and feelings you focus on as you eat. We can all control and improve how the tummy feels and how we metabolize each mouthful of food to create health. Eat a high-fiber diet with prebiotic foods such as yogurt and berries and avoid the overuse of drugs. Supplements, however, are not a bad thing, since we cannot get all that our body needs each day. Remember always, fresh is best.

In Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse states, "Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at anytime and be yourself". Returning to the Source is Stillness, and the Sanctuary is the absolute certainty that I am encompassed by Love and Protection Divine. The Source creates and continues to generate and protect life in all its forms. I might think that without my constant endeavors my world would fall apart, but it isn't so. Stand back, sit back, look around, SEE! ENJOY, FULL OF ABUNDANCE, FULL OF GRATITUDE for, as it says in the Tao Te Ching, "the highest virtue does nothing. Yet, nothing needs to be done. The lowest virtue does everything. Yet, much remains to be done."

Namaste,
