Going down memory lane

I often have a flood of memories concerning a trip that my sister, Frankie gave me many, many years ago.  I have had lots of traveling since but none have been as important to me.  She and her husband, Larry, took me with them to Florida.  My very first trip to Florida and Disney.  As we entered the gates tears flowed from my eyes and I can still recall the great feeling that overcame me at that moment. I can even recall the smells on Clearwater Beach the day we spent on the beach.  It was such a great gift to me and I do not think a week passes that I do not think of that week.  We shopped; did not buy much, sat on the beach (my first time in the ocean), walked across the drawbridge, went to sea world and Disney world, all in all such great memories from more than a quarter of a century ago.    I have made many trips since but I will never have a week like that week.  Thanks to my baby sister, Frankie, for making memories for me and adding positive things to my life. 

Researching

I have spent several days doing a lot of research and one therapy keeps coming up in my study; Frequency Specific Microcurrent.  I have even checked for practitioners of the therapy, cannot find anyone in the 4 state area.  I found the equipment and the training in Tampa, Florida.  I would like to do it but I need to negotiate so I can afford it.  It not only treats pain but can eliminate most vision problems. 
 I have been building a treatment plan for people who have severe chemical and electrical sensitivities.   The FSM is also used in that treatment plan.  I am making contact with a friend who does the color/light therapy and I need to know more about it and start people taking advantage of it.  Because of all my research, I have not been getting enough exercise, must change that....

Progress on the Reinvention of ME

As I start a new week, I have to do a little review and take a look at what I achieved last week.  Progress is slow but visible; makes it easier to march forward.
Walked through a craft fair on Sunday afternoon without a purchase, now that is real progress in my attempt to not adding to my clutter.  Lots of really great artisans and I admire them for sharing their great talents, but I do not need any more clutter in my life.
When I attended the Farmers' market on Saturday, I only brought home stuff that I will eat this week.  I did enjoy visiting with some very great farmers and I felt much better about life when I got home with my raw milk and fresh free range eggs. Also purchased some fresh veggies and cheese curds.
  I also celebrate May third because my Social Security check appeared in my bank account so I could order some necessities of life that are consumable and necessary for my wellness.  I really need to invest in a dumpster to get rid of my 'trash' more quickly but I will put that off until the next 3rd of the month celebration.  Because of the expense of gas I am trying to cut down on the "run to town and get stuff" trying to combine the trips so I do not have to purchase gas for the old car.  I will have to go to town tomorrow to get animal food and some soil for some container gardens. 
Just to keep me on tract, I am going to start a list of people to invite to my 80th birthday party in October, to celebrate the new reinvented ME.

Beginning the process of eliminating

I have begun the process of eliminating the things from my life that do not add value to my life and I have started with the decluttering of my house; not easy; bags and bags of trash, bags and bags of 'stuff' to donate and bags and bags of stuff that can be recycled.  My little house is full of bags and bags.... I also have a yard full of old equipment that no longer works, I have 4 lawn mowers that do not work, about a dozen old printers that are broken or never worked.  That elephant that I am eating "one bite at a time" is getting larger and larger.

Reinventing

http://1drv.ms/1jmHnga I think this link will get you into the pictures.


I have distractions and the pictures dispersal is one of the distractions.  I want everyone to see them and I am trying to link you up to my One Drive Favorites folder, hope it works.  I guess it is about time to get a more modern computer; if I can find the money. 

Emotional turmoil

So much emotion involved in getting all the conference bills paid and starting the reinvention of my life.  In addition to that emotion, my favorite little white dog, Skippy, died.  Skippy was a brat, a sweetheart, a wonderful little creature who; marked everything in the house, irritated all the other creatures in the house and would jump into my lap, look up with love in his eyes and snuggle.  He was a stray who has only been with me a few years but he was full of life and mischief, and died unexpected.
By the time I get all the bills paid for the conference, I will be in the red about $4500.00, not that I can afford that, it took all my bank account and Lonna gave me $2000 from her account.  I will never do that again!!!  I have to just shake off the mistakes that I make and go on with life.  Everyone is willing to tell me how to do that but it is not as easy as it sounds.   I am alive and well and ready to start over.
Yesterday I did start my de-cluttering of my life: cleaned the glove compartment, cleaned up my computer desktop and started erasing some people from my e-mail and facebook pages. Today I will continue by starting one room in the house and continue working on the computer clean-up. The steps to this reinvention are small but I have to continue to care for my now 11 dogs, my cats, the goats and Janet the old mare.  I allow the pleasure of watching some baseball games on TV and reading on my Android/Kindle.   

The Holistic Lifesaving Conference is over and I know for a fact that it changed lives and the information gained was great. I am so sorry that more people did not want to learn how to be well and stay well. There is such a need but many like to be sick and stay sick. It is a shame and I think it is a sin.  Many of the things said by Dr. Donald Mayfield concerned letting your body heal itself and how to do that.  Dr. Joan Vernikos showed us how to stay healthy by using such small actions, as long as we are consistent with movement.  Everyone should hear these two experts and learn from them. When I figure my expenses and the income, there is about $4000 that has to be made up from the bank accounts of Lonna and me. I have learned my lesson, I think, and I won't count of help from others in the future. Some people who just could not pay full ticket and have lunch, ended up in the dining room, eating a free $25 meal, so crude, others frowned on the price and took advantage of me. ok, that is enough griping and complaining.
Starting today those people will not be in my life any more and I will have only the people that add value to my life around me. Today I have to go to the bank, settle all accounts for the rooms for my speakers at the hotel and then I am going to start eliminating all clutter (including people that do not add value to my life) from my life.  I am going to reinvent my life and will be completely changed by October 7, 2014, my 80th birthday.
