Maybe I can clear this up; maybe not everyone will understand exactly what I am trying to say.  In writing about something, or your feelings, sometimes it is very hard to convey a message.  You can have the truest intentions, and still, the precise message in which you wish to share can be misconstrued or lost completely. 

 

Where you’re at or how you feel about something when you read it can be absolutely different than another person sees it or what the original writer was attempting to say in the first place.  (READ MORE)

I feel a shift taking place in the world today.  Its happening as we speak, and I feel it happening within me, on this site and others, before the world.  Slowly, more and more people are realizing the power of their minds.  The power to be at peace with life and whatever happens in it, the power of the ability to watch our thoughts and to not be affected by them completely.  I watched another documentary recently called, “The New Medicine”.  It touches on this very point.  More and more, people who fall ill to various things are finding the healing benefits of their own thoughts and states of consciousness while enduring the sicknesses their experiencing.  (READ MORE)

Wow, what a storm that was started recently on my co-bloggers page. I have the utmost respect for you Michelle and your passion, writing ability, your life and even your disgust with diabetes when you wrote that blog. Please know this. I HAVE WRITTEN these types in the past too (when I was off). But you, and all the people that commented on your blog who, too, agree’d with your sentiment of “hating diabetes”, could not have proved a point with any clearer of an example of how out of touch we get with ourselves and life from time to time. This is ok, this is normal. It happens. But what you do with it when your faced with it, is what makes the difference and what can take you from a life of peace, or heaven, and true existence - to a place of hell, or unbalance, or non-peace.

It’s been one of those days, the type of day where you just want to get some things off your chest (or mind). I wrote my last blog about television. I said some strong things; I got out some strong feelings. But they were heartfelt at the time, and looking back, I still feel strongly about what I said. TV sucks. It’s not natural. Their are a few things on occasion that are worth watching; sometimes you can catch something on that is educational or good for the soul. TV CAN be used as a good medium, or tool for our health. Sometimes, you see something you connect with or that gets you fired up, but in a good way. Tonight, for example, I watched a documentary on Netflix called, “Mario’s Story.” (READ MORE)

Is it just me...or has anyone else noticed the lack of true sportsmanship in today's sporting events and competitions? That’s kind of what I was thinking today after reflecting on last night’s superbowl. It seems like all I see anymore, when I catch a rare game on TV, are egotists trying to out do one another. Anymore, all I see are fights and bad things taking place on screen. Our kids are watching. We’re watching. And no one truly seems to take offense anymore to the programming that’s on. ( I guess my ego does :)

I wrote recently about my first fast. I loved the experience and I hope you decide to look into it forImage credit:  Bulinna on Flickr yourself to see if it’s something you’re interested in doing. But now that a few days have past, and I’m back to eating, “normal” again, I wanted to let everyone know how things are going.

 

Since the fast I have had a few highs, some mild depression (psychological, as well as physiological), but overall some WONDERFUL blood sugars!
