The Ocean

"By the sea, by the sea,
by the beautiful sea,
You and me, you and me,
Oh so happy we will be..."
💙
I'm daydreaming about last summer and all the beach picnics we had; the leisurely dinners in the warm sunshine with the smell of sea water on the breeze, the breathtaking sunsets filling the sky with color, the time spent with my husband and children, splashing and wading and searching for the perfect pebbles and shells; it makes me feel alive and well and I want more.
Even on gloomy days though, the ocean soothes me. I drove past the bay yesterday, on the way to an appointment, and the sky was gray and cloudy, and there was a mist hanging over the choppy water, but it instantly made me feel good.
The power of the waves never ceases to amaze me. I am always reminded that there is Someone in control of them, and the thought that there is a greater power than the ocean waves is very humbling, and yet comforting too. I think there is no better place to sit and think about God than on the shore, staring out over the water.
And it's so much easier to forget everything else and just be when you're near the ocean....it is so vast and real and it just pulls me into this meditative state where I feel like things are in their proper place.
I am small, God is great.  He is constantly moving the water and clouds and pebbles and weeds, not only because He can and it brings Him glory,  but also to uphold this amazing world. He paints the sky, blows the clouds, pushes the waves; when you see it all this way, it's like watching a conducter directing an orchestra to play a beautiful song, only He's playing all the instruments himself all at the same time.
Why should we worry about anything? Why should we be so burdened with troubles? There is One who invites us to leave our sorrows with Him and He is able to carry them all with ease.
Rest in Him, my soul, and glory in His infinite love and gentle care, for He cares far more for you than all this wide and wonderful world.❤
"If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand uphold me." [Psalm 139:9-10]

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

Transformation // Hair Analysis #2

I haven't posted in over a year.  I have six drafts that I started writing and never posted because I just couldn't decide what to say, with all the current world events and how I was feeling emotionally and mentally, (kind of all over the place), so....it has been quite awhile since I updated on where I'm at in my health journey. When I last posted here, I talked about DNRS and what a difference it was making for me. I am very happy to say that, even with the world being turned upside down, I was still able to keep that new level of health I had reached, and I am now doing better than ever. That's not to say there haven't been a lot of ups and downs, and some really low lows, but I really believe that I healed my root cause issues. 2 years ago, I was working on treating anxiety, SIBO, low stomach acid, HPA axis dysfunction a.k.a. adrenal fatigue (the most severe my doctor had seen on paper), other hormonal issues, and more, all at the same time; it was challenging

Updated Supplement Protocol

This is my current protocol of supplements we are using to support my body in healing my gut, hormones, and overall health. I am posting this partly to document my progress, and also to share what is working for me,  and to maybe give people ideas to ask their doctor about. Do not just start taking any supplement without working with a trained practitioner. There are too many personal and varying factors to navigate the world of supplements and vitamins alone. Do yourself a favor and get professional, knowledgeable help to give you the best chance at complete recovery and fastest results. I saw my Naturopath last week, and we went over my symptoms and adjusted my supplements and added in a couple new things. This protein shake is one of the new additions to my treatment plan. OptiCleanse GHI is a protein powder supplement that we are using to support healing my gut, specifically leaky gut, and also support liver detox. It tastes quite good actually, which I was ver
