 You don’t have to have a thyroid problem to recieve all the benefits from eating the Thyroid Health Reset Diet that I’ve set forth in my Get Your Life Back! Reset Your Thyroid Health Manual.

I went through Hashimoto’s Disease (hypothyroidism that has moved into an autoimmune disease) Treatment last year. I feel better today than I have in years, and will continue my thyroid diet as my new “lifestyle eating plan” for the rest of my life.

After teaching my Get Your Life Back! 6-Week Jumpstart Your Health TeleProgram earlier this year - in which only about half of the group of 9 women had diagnosed thyroid issues – they all lost weight easily (many up to 15 lbs) and lost symptoms that were keeping them awake at night, feeling stressed and “old” and other issues that stunt a joyful daily life.

The 23 lbs. I lost easily last year on this nutrition plan stays off easily too, which is very nice. Plus, many other symptoms are gone too, which is the focus on the diet – to rebuild ones body, brain and health.

Just today I recieved feedback from a fellow who bought my manual earlier this week that was very nice to hear!

“I will seize this opportunity to tell you that your manual is one of the best documents that we have seen for any health problem. The document is easy to read and to the point with several tools that are not only useful, but helpful.”  Rodolfo, MA, USA 

 Hopi Elder Prophecy

(It is questioned regarding who and when it was written, but it is good to read and remember no matter.)

You have been telling people that this is the Eleventh Hour, now you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour. And there are things to be considered. . . .

Where are you living?

What are you doing?

What are your relationships?

Are you in right relation?

Where is your water?

Know your garden.

It is time to speak your truth.

Create your community.

Be good to each other.

And do not look outside yourself for your leader.

Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said, “This could be a good time! There is a river flowing now very fast. It is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid. They will try to hold on to the shore. They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer greatly. Know the river has its  destination. The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off into the middle of the river, keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water.

And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate. At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally, least of all ourselves. For the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey come to a halt.

The time of the one wolf is over. Gather yourselves!

Banish the word ‘struggle’ from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

Stress free eco-friendly cleaning tips to make life easier, and easy to do. When it comes to enjoying a clean home with simplicity and ease, some of the best things in life are chemical free. Cleaning without chemicals helps remove the worry of cross-contamination, poisoning surrounding nature and ourselves.  

So, today we put together a quick list of easy eco-friendly cleaning tips (find out more click here) and made with natural products, and some things you can do to make your home more enjoyable for yourself and your family. Use it or lose it.

If you are storing too much stuff, bite the bullet and let go of some of it. Donate items you are not likely to use, and unburden yourself of excess clutter while helping others. You will likely feel better, and enjoy a cleaner living space.Throw stuff away.

Not every household item is designed to last forever. For instance, how old are your pillows? Do they look dirty, lumpy, and old? Yuck! While recycling, reusing, and eliminating unnecessary waste is important, there are limits. Sometimes, it’s ok to throw stuff away. However, washables that seem unsalvageable are often deceptively easy to clean.

Rust on fabrics.

To remove a rust stain without using harsh chemicals, simply douse with juice from a lemon, and then sprinkle with salt. The lemon will neutralize the stain, and the salt will absorb it.

Shine Wood floors.

Vinegar and water, or undiluted mineral spirits, are chemical free, eco-friendly options for cleansing and deodorizing wood floors.

Pest control.

A clean home may not equal a pest free home, but pest control is vital for safety and cleanliness. After all, where there are rodents, there are droppings. Where there are ants, there are ants. Try mixing together baking soda and icing sugar – it’s the solution to all pest/bug problems!

Cucumbers.

Cucumbers send ants marching in a new direction. Away! Simply slice some fresh cucumbers, place them strategically around the home, and hurrah! Goodbye, ants.

Keep rodents at bay the sly way.

Fox urine around the outside of the home is an excellent rodent deterrent, which is highly effective, cruelty free and naturally chemical free. Using an animal’s urine to promote a clean house may sound crazy, but rest assured, it’s crazy like a fox!

How on earth are you supposed to lay your hands on a supply of fox urine of all things? Not to worry, there is no need to go into the wild in search of a urinating fox. Believe it or not, the stuff works so well it is available for purchase.

Pet odors.

A dusting of baking soda is a simple method of absorbing pet odors trapped in carpeting. Allow baking soda to absorb the odors for 30 minutes or so. Do not push or rub the baking soda into the carpeting. Finish by lifting the baking soda from the carpeting with a vacuum.

Cat got your table?

If your feline friend is a bit too at home on your kitchen/dining room table, a few fragrant, zesty, orange peels will persuade kitty to keep paws off.

A safe, clean, comfortable home is easy to maintain. Simply take control of clutter, and take a few queues from nature.

A new friend has a big DVD library, so I borrowed away!  

MY REVIEWS =)

TEMPLE GRANDIN – A must see! Unforgetable. Here’s her site and movie in left sidebar.  http://www.templegrandin.com/

THERESE - about the life of Saint Therese. Not a great movie, a skim of her life/diary. (Her family was so syrupy sweet that it felt creepy. Bless them however if they really were this lovely!) Mother Teresa took her name from St. Therese. I’m sure that the million seller book about her life/diary tells it better. It was “d by the Vatican” so must follow some very strict rules to make it way family friendly I’m sure. http://www.stlukeproductions.com/therese/index.html 

    Very cool that she was alive in the 1800′s when cameras were around already to see real photos of her. http://tinyurl.com/3sohs7e
 

FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN – From book w/ same title. Made it about 25 mins and then quit. Didn’t keep my interest. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0400435/

PEACEFUL WARRIOR – From the book WAY OF THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR, story of Dan Millman’s revelations with the mystical. I met Dan at a book-signing years ago. Very nice guy. Movie? Great! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsS3cXGs2GQ

Dan’s site: http://www.peacefulwarrior.com/

KATE AND LEOPOLD – Sweet romance. A gift for my birthday!  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035423/

GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING - Awesome! Reminds one not to gripe about kitchen work and house cleaning too!! Also a novel.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0335119/

ENJOY SUMMER AND THE MOVIES, OLD AND NEW!

Enjoy movies alone or with others. Popcorn or not!

Just a nudge - always buy organic popcorn to keep from eating GMOs – genetically modified food - who knows what’s laced into it now! Stupid Monsanto!

What a grrrreat birthday I had last Saturday! Many thanks for all of your calls, emails, tweets, facebook texts, gifts, sidewalk well wishes and more.

WHY I’M SHARING THIS

I’m sharing this because I want you to see how a day can flow like butta’! How lovely that this was flowing on my birthday too! Every day should be so smooth! That’s my goal!!

Here was my awesome day. Having a birthday on a weekend is great!  

First… I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and knew I wasn’t going back to sleep, so, I got dressed and took a walk under the FULL MOON down to the lake – 1.3 mile walk, always good. The sunrise on the Rockies and Longs Peak was breathtaking as always.

Then, I went to the new Family Dollar on 17th and Hover (Longmont, CO) for their Grand Opening – the first 50 customers were to get a $5 Gift Card! Shoot! I’m there! I was 2nd in line – a beautiful Saturday morning to hang out. I ended up getting TWO GIFT CARDS! $10!! (Okay, I’m easy!) I felt like maybe they made a mistake. So after I spent one of them I asked if they wanted the other one back. They said no, that some people got two of them! Yea!

Then, I went to our lovely Longmont FARMERS MARKET. I haven’t been there yet this year. What a treat. I walked around, talked to friends, ate good samples, bought some fresh green string beans, sat and listened to the bluegrass band play while eating an organic brunch. Perfect weather and lovely morning!

Then, I went to Vitamin Cottage health food store on Main St.  It was their 10th Year Anniversary Celebration! So tons of great samples of everything I could eat and enjoy, bring home and enjoy trying lotions, potions and such for awhile.  Talked to friends and signed up for 2 raffles. When I got home, the phone was ringing – I’d won one of the gift baskets! WHOOT! (See photo above.) Yes, the new grocery bag was free too! Goooo Vitamin Cottage!

Then,  I figured, with all this awesomeness going on, I’d better leverage it, right? I went to Safeway to get some extra groceries and bought a few lottery tickets!

Guess what?

I checked the numbers online after 10 pm that night and…. no winners! : (  Oh, well!! ; )

NO MIND FLOW

What I became very aware of is how all of the lovely inflow of goodness happened during a 1/2 day when I wasn’t thinking of anything. Buddhists call this “no mind.” I was just doing the doing and enjoying it all without expectations or desires. A good example of childlike innocence and the Law of Attraction at work.

Thank you all again for blessing me with your love and gifts of friendship, support and joy!

Let me know about a “flow” day that you’ve had in the comment section, on your Birthday or not!

Blissings!

LOTS OF WEEKEND TIME THIS MONTH!

You don’t need the excuse for a holiday to get out of the office and enjoy yourself! But, it’s nice to have one this month in case you do!

But . . . check this out! This year you have lots more options for “weekends” than ever before! . . . unless you lived 823 years ago!

Yup, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays this year! This happens once every 823 years.

So, no excuses for not having a weekend to play this month!

2011 TIDBITS

Plus . . . 2011 is giving us four unusual dates. Maybe they hold extra good energy in them. There’s two of these dates left this year. When they come around in November be aware of them: slow down a bit and feel it, meditate, sit and look at the sunrise or sunset, journal, set new goals, or dance (naked if you like!) Never know!!

    1/1/11

    1/11/11

    11/1/11

    11/11/11   

2011 MIND-BOGGLER! 

Take the last two digits of the year in which you were born – now add the age you will be this year.

The results will be 111 for everyone in whole world.  WHOA!!!!

Enjoy this month for all you can squeeze out of it!! It’s my birthday month, I always do!
 

I’m so excited to share this awesome study I read in the Longmont Times-Call  yesterday. All of these findings aren’t a great mystery to people who work off the land and have gardens, but it is great to have studies like this that make it so clear you can’t miss it!

This study shows that: 

Those with garden plots eat more veggies, exercise more and weigh less.
But, the gains of community and urban gardens is even more
than these good outcomes, they help grow communities and bring people together.

A new study led by University of Colorado scholars shows that community gardeners harvest better health, as well as stronger connections to their neighborhoods for generations. It’s a great thing for all!

BENEFITS

Community Gardeners

• eat more vegetables: Denver-area community gardeners consume an average of 5.7 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, compared with 4.6 servings for home gardeners and 3.9 servings for non-gardeners
• exercise more: 720 minutes a week of moderate-to-vigorous exercise, compared with 570 minutes a week for non-gardeners
• weigh less:  the average body-mass index for community gardeners is 24.2, compared with 27.2 for non-gardeners. A BMI of 25 or higher has been a measurement used to suggest that a person is overweight
• feel healthier than non-gardeners (and even home gardeners)

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY GARDEN? 

Community gardens are parcels of land divided into plots in which people can grow vegetables, herbs and flowers. At the Kerr Community Garden, plots range from $48 to $183, depending on size, and reduced rates are offered to low-income gardeners.

COMMUNITY GARDENS AND GARDENERS ARE GENEROUS AND GIVING  – THEY CHANGE THE COMMUNITY FOR GOOD

The study also found that community gardeners tend to feel more attached to and protective of their neighborhoods resulting in less crime and chaos.

We are social creatures, we need to be with others and share, give and receive. Community gardens are the perfect place for these activities naturally.

SCHOOL AND URBAN GARDENS BUILD COMMUNITY

Helping children and school systems learn the entire cycle of a good garden builds trust, lifelong education and generational relationships. Community gardens reach into the community of all ages to build deep and wide security, stability and strong roots for a lifetime of growth.

“We eat out barely at all,” Dillingham said. “When you grow your own food, you cook your own food and tend to eat healthier.”

A sense of accomplishment, satisfaction and personal pride goes a long way toward our health: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

RESEARCH PUBLICATION

The research team includes Jill Litt, an assistant professor in the CU environmental studies program. The findings were published in the journals “Social Science and Medicine” and “The American Journal of Public Health.”

Now, got get your hands dirty!

(Might be a commercial linked onto this first) 

Don’t let time slip by this summer, or any season without slowing down to make quality time with family – especially if you have children.

Time goes by so quickly when they’re small. Enjoy every moment!

Great job, Trace!
