I have been putting together a rather unusual event for the Citizens of Jefferson City, MO
It's Called a Zombie Walk and its a group of people, dressed like Zombies who Shuffle and Lurch along an area of a city...Why you ask...Why Not I say :)

Head Colds and Remedys

My kids have been sick this past week and I too succumbed to a bit of it myself. It came down on me Thursday night like a pile of bricks right into my sinuses and by the next morning I had gone through over half a box of Puffs (with lotion) Kleenex...they are the best and keep ones nose from getting raw. So out came the peppermint oil and the colloidal silver, and of course I went to the Y to Sweat, Friday I sweat 2 in one day and it made a huge difference in how I felt. I have managed to kick it pretty darn quick. I attribute that to raw foods and sweating. Its the little things you do to help yourself that count, Hot tea with lemon is a great start :)

Stay well!

Sweat Baby Sweat!

Oh yeah, I just got back from the Y and had a wonderful Sweat! My complexion looks Fab, and I feel great. I was finding myself wanting to eat bread again and so back to the Hypnotherapist I went yesterday to nip that in the dough! Hypnosis really works well for me and I have absolutely no desire to eat processed carbs, and it lasts for weeks. I am so determined to be fit that I would probably try almost anything :) So now you know one of my most effective tools to staying strong while eating a high raw diet.

Hehehehehe

It feels like Fall and that means Winter will be here soon...

So I have a Membership to the Y.M.C.A. Its only a couple blocks from where I live and it has a great wet and dry sauna. ( 2 separate saunas) The wet one really cleans out your pores and I stay in there long enough to give my pores a good cleansing sweat, then I go into the dry sauna and finish it off with a deeper sweat.... I come out and my skin is so soft and glowing. If I am even starting to break out I like to spritz my face with colloidal silver. My two teen boys have really liked the benefits of it when they have zit attacks!

Winter will be here before long and when I cannot walk outside because of the weather, I will be at the gym workin on my fitness :) I shall work out every day because it is time that is just for me and as a busy mom, I think I not only have earned the right but deserve it! I am taking care of myself because no ones going to do it for me and I have to live in this body while I am here :)

I will take a picture of the Capitol steps, I walk up and down them between 10-15 times and let me just say it is rearranging all the junk in ma trunk and thats not a bad thang :)

Change

Well the last 3 months have probably been the most upside down, crazy months of my life in at least 20 years...No biggie, life is full of change from time to time, much of the change going on in my life is what I brought on myself. Ahem the words good intentions comes to mind for many of my heartfelt decisions, and that's OK. I have learned some very valuable lessons about the art of Positive Thinking and Manifesting. It needs more than a wing and a prayer to fly well.

I LOVE Mistakes, it usually means I'm onto something, something in my life that needs to come to the surface, needs my attention before anything can change for the better. You've heard the old saying it usually gets worse before it gets better? Like when you are re-arranging and Organizing your Home!
What I'm saying is that if it weren't for pesky mistakes, I would never feel the urge to do better. I can only tolerate stupidity within myself for so long and then I have a little talk with myself and get started setting things right( sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly) but I eventually heed the signs that things need tweaking.
Everyday I am going to post an activity that I have done to help myself. I welcome comments on what You do that may help with achieving your goals and live your best life :)

ahhh New Day

Spent my morning working at the Montessori School my 4 yr old Sage goes to. There was a Pizza Party today and ice cream cake was following.( we left before the cake was served).
I have to say that at times I am really discouraged, but then I think, hey if it wasn't a challenge to help the school make a transition to whole healthy foods then it would not be nearly as fun...Well fun aside, a Montessori School stands for something more than what typical day cares are doing. Its a School were the child explores their environment and directs themselves with the joy of learning and exploring, structured only enough so that the child can make many of their own choices.
This morning there were so many of the kids with thick walls of green snot flowing outta their noses...and a lot of the kids start out their day eating junk food for breakfast. How can parents not know that what their child eats directly effects their ability to focus and concentrate? Of course it affects their health too, but for heavens sake the ability to learn is greatly impaired by sugar, salt and chemicals coursing through those small bodies....ARGHHH...OK thanks for letting me vent, I really needed to get that all out. Please ask the Universe to help me so that I can help this school. I know it can be done, we just need to take those first few steps, no matter how shaky, they must be taken, because Children deserve the very best start in life! We must set the example if we want them to make good choices for themselves ! Do you know most people baulk at eating healthy because they assume it is expensive. Food Quality is far more essential than food quantity. Food that nourishes a child is what will keep the child from needing to constantly eat. Any thought on this subject is very welcome :)

Junk Drawers & Closet Clean and Organized

I am now organizing my business and personal life, my house is clean, tasks are on the wall, everyone is on top of their tasks and I cleaned the last bit of clutter out of my life today with the Junk Drawers and Closet now clean and tidy....I shall rule the world...MY World :)

Pics to come :)

Moving Smoothly with the Organizing & Paw Paw Bread

Our family is now on the same page with our new way of being organized. I like it because it gives everyone a way to do what needs to be done, without being told by someone else. Makes it more like a group effort instead of a struggle. So I will be writing about this often and making note of any changes that we make with our new system.
I call it de-stressing my life and it feels Good! :)

My husband made 2 small loaves of Paw Paw Bread, I have to tell you it smelled heavenly just before coming out of the oven, but I was so full from dinner, I just didn't have room for even a taste(not to mention I am on board with Bunny Berrys 100 day raw challenge). So I just watch everyone else scarf the bread down. Then this morning my husband starts to visit the bathroom, a lot...4 times before we leave the house....So the moral of this tale is- when using native fruits, use a modest amount in your recipes or prepare for a good cleaning out of your innards :)

Organization

I have been working for several days on a way to organize my life and a system to help me become more consistent at it. Because I homeschool my children and I have plenty of projects to keep me hopping, I needed more help than what even google documents could provide. ( i know, scary huh?!) Something that would allow people in the house to see what needed to be done and would do so without me or Dietrich asking. I will explain that we are using a tool called the Mental Bank, and by doing this we are writing down in a notebook, everything that we do through out our day that we can pay ourselves for. The idea is to see positive energy flow in your life, and in turn change your life to what you would prefer. So on the wall I have different household activities and the Amount of $$ that you get to write down in your mental bank for doing it. Its pretty cool concept and I think it will be fun to see who starts making the big bucks in their mental bank account.

Too often the daily chores of life seem mundane, especially to teenagers, but this way we can see ourselves making choices to earn, instead of just being told what to do or just procrastinating in general. The way I so it is hang a sheet of vinel plasitic on the wall, I then got blank index cards and wrote on them, fold them into a sheet of plastic and then place them on the plastic wall, they hang there with no tape. So I can move them around. Its pretty easy.

I am applying this for my personal life as well as my Business. We are using this in Homeschooling as an experiment in life skills. Why not eh? If it works than we are more organized and productive than ever before, and if it doesn't than I shall move ever forward with my persistence to live my best life possible....

Thank You Universe and All Beings of Light :)

About Me

I struggle with too many interests and projects started. I am a Gemini, though its no excuse it just tells you that I take on way too much and then change my mind mid way-I like to think that I have an inner compass and I try earnestly to follow it. I also have very good intentions with my self and others...so you've heard about the Road paved with those-Yeah I'm going to Hell :)

So I have like a ton of faults, and to put it all in perspective I think a quote by the Eternal Marilyn Monroe sums me up perfectly:

This blog will be detailing my life as I achieve my personal goal of being fit by 40

My name is Margo, and I am39 years young. I will be 40 in May of 2009. I am persistent when it comes to making good choices for myself. I have a family who love and support me, but they can't help me with my own personal goals. All we can do is love one another and work as best as we can towards our goals. Most of my life I have been my own worst enemy. Sabotaging myself often.
Despite that behavior I have managed to make serious changes in my life and as a result have experienced a new quality of life especially thanks to Raw and Living Foods, as well as tools for transformation that I have gathered along the way. I feel that everyday is an opportunity to learn and evolve. Sooner or later I get important lessons learned. Along the way, often I have found that by making a mistake over and over is what it takes before it sinks in.
I am learning to be firm yet loving with myself. If I judge and treat myself harshly, it usually ends up taking me far longer to learn my lesson and move forward.

I feel that being completely honest is important. Not everyone is willing to do that. People generally do not like to be seen in a bad light, but I realized that no matter what I do or don't do, I am the one who has to live my life and I can't help what other people think or feel about me. Your either going to like me or not. So if you are inclined to read what I write, I thank you.
I am doing this for myself, and documenting it for whoever may understand, benefit or just accept it for what it is. The story of my life right now and my deep determination to be fit by the time I turn 40. I owe it to myself to be the best I can be inside and out.


Every Word guaranteed 100% Raw
