Last night we had the honor of going to the chili feed fund raiser for going to California. The last time I looked at a thermometer it was 12 degrees with very icy roads. That didn't deter people. I couldn't believe how many people still came out. I feel very blessed and loved.
The most frequently asked question was "How was California?" Awesome! was the answer. We learned so much. The trip was best described by educationally putting a fire hose in your mouth and turning it on. I'm so thankful Brett was with me. I couldn't do this by myself. Honestly, I couldn't. It took both of us gaining understanding and me doing the therapy to get it down. Brett has become an expert green juice maker. I am taking my new supplements. Brett gets them all lined out for me. It was pretty amazing how they are able to tailor supplements to my body's needs. I am off sugar...and feeling so much better! We also found out I was pre diabetic. It's all 100% curable with diet. Sweet! That just inspires me all the more to stay away from sugar. Balancing food is also new for me. I have to make sure I balance my carbs with proteins. You're probably thinking, oh my gosh!, what can she eat? You better not loose any weight! I've actually gained a couple of pounds and Brett actually has lost...the perfect combination. I've been eating and feeling very satisfied and full. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to go to the Oasis of Hope. I knew God would make it obvious when we should go...and he did.
Oh, I have to tell you that a man stopped by the Oasis when we were there. He was diagnosed 36 years prior with stage IV cancer. I hope to go back to encourage others like that 36 years later too. :)
Thank you all for coming last night. Thank you for your hugs, unconditional love and support. We are so blessed to live in such a valley. I appreciate all of you!
Well, I'm heading off to teach my Kinders this morning. They are pretty amazing.
God bless!
Looking up,
