Hello World

 Hello world. This is my blog. In case you're new here, I just wanted to say a few thing...
 My name is Kayla and apparently I am a writer... I write because I enjoy it; I find it liberating and helpful and what I call "a form of self therapy" for me.
 I truly hope that you can be encouraged here, but also know that I do write first for myself; this is an outlet, a sorting place and a documentary of my journey.
 As I have grown through my personal trials, I have had a growing desire to help and inspire others, so that definitely is part of the goal of this blog. I have experienced many times the feeling of being misunderstood or felt completely alone or crazy, and I want anyone who reads this to know that if you are experiencing those things, you are definitely not alone.
 This is a place where I share my faith, my fears, my food, my family life, and my feelings.
 I would prefer that you read this blog in it's entirity, starting from the first post and going through to the most recent. Mostly because I feel that I have grown alot since I started writing and I would like you to understand who I am now, whereas starting at the latest post and reading through to the oldest kind of takes you backwards. But most importantly​, I want you to get "the whole picture."
 Also know that while I am open to sharing things, this is not a place where I feel like getting into heated discussions or long debates. Comments are welcome though😊.
 I do not intend to insult or upset anyone, but I do write honestly and true to myself, so that might happen....we can't all agree on everything. And that's ok with me.
 It is my heartfelt desire to encourage others, specifically in their faith and their personal health journey, and to inspire them to self reflection and improvement, leading them to be the best that they can be for God, for others, and for themselves.
 Welcome.💛

This Is Going Well // DNRS review

{This is going W E L L}  Brian gave me this mug for Christmas, and it's my favorite.❤  All the work I've been doing to retrain my brain and heal my body has been going very well, and I am so excited and optimistic about the future!  I mentioned previously that I would be starting the Dynamic Neural Retraining System, (DNRS), which works with neuroplasticity based techniques to heal an impaired limbic system, which is essentially a brain injury that results from trauma and causes your brain to process and store information as if you are in a constant state of "fight or flight", or emergency response.  Trauma is relative to every individual, and there are different types of trauma; obvious things like death, war, victim of a crime, major accidents, and those sort of things are Traumas with a capital 'T'. Things like illness, chronic stress, unstable family life, negative relationships, and many others, are  traumas with a little 't'; on ...

What IEat#9

Dinner- I love making breakfast for dinner when I don't feel like cooking or have to make dinner fast. Scrambled eggs with spinach, kidney bean, bacon, and GF toast with cashew butter, honey and cinnamon. Dinner- steamed broccoli, Alexia's sweet potato fries (love that Costco has a big bag of them right now!), and beef burger patty with avocado and bacon. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner- This is what I ate during my last NAET treatment 25 hour avoidance phase. There is a different list of "safe foods" with every treatment, depending on what you're avoiding, and they recommend that you limit yourself to just two or three foods, as the more variety you consume, the more energy it takes for your body to digest and ideally you just want to let your body's energy be as unhindered as possible so you can achieve optimal results. So this time I ate sweet potato, beef roast, and white rice. Yes, I felt a little guilty for the high amount of starch, but its only ...

Fear Is A Liar

 Things have been a bit rough lately for me. You would think that at some point you would somehow get used to the rollercoaster ride of chronic illness, but it really doesn't get easier. Maybe you understand some things more, or learn to cope with symptoms, or give up on things ever going back to how they used to be, but the little comfort there is in the familiarity of "we've been here before" isn't enough to get you through it all.  I realized that maybe one reason it doesn't get easier to go through the ups and downs is because I have not lost hope. I have not stopped living the good days to their full potential. Maybe that makes the bad days hurt a little more, but if you can't embrace the good days, I think that's a sign of moving to the next level of despair.  Don't give up. As Spurgeon says, in one of my favorite devotionals, " Be full of hope! Hope forever! For God does not fail you." (July 21 evening -Morning and Evening-Sp...
