Thankful

I got my act together. I took an one hour shower, and treated myself to a shampoo and conditioner treatment for my hair. I can't believe how long my hair is. I truly love my natural hair.

I spent Thanksgiving with a new friend.  She's a nice woman and I feel comfortable with her.  She knows a lot about Colorado and I think it will be nice possibly exploring things with her. I've asked her to join me in May for the #45DayRawFoodDietChallenge , so we'll see if she does. 

For dinner, she made my mom's broccoli casserole for me. I really appreciated that, and it was delicious. I MIGHT try to cook next year if I'm able to concentrate long enough to do so. 

My knees are hurting, as are my shoulders, back, fingers, and feet. I've only had seldom headaches, and I'm thankful for that. I ran out of a few meds, so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with that. I'll see my neurologist soon and i'll discuss it with him. Other than that, I've been doing better in my opinion. Even after a recent panic attack (which I will blog about on a different post), I've been relatively good. Pain won't kill me.

Gifts of the Universe

It's amazing all of the gifts of the universe

I knew today was going to be a really good day so far because I started off with a delicious fruit smoothie with protein.

I feel really good about taking advantage of this diet challenge because it gives me an opportunity to eat healthy with no judgement.

It gives me an opportunity to learn and to grow and to share and to independently take control over at least some aspects of my life

because my husband and I and opportunity to do something as a team

I mean truly we already live as a team we make this world happen for us together as a team

but it means a lot to me to be working on a project to be responsible for others and to be team leaders, and it’s awesome.  I couldn’t do this alone honestly and I’m nervous but The challenge  is to make food, to harvest food, and to eat food with someone it's nothing that I take lightly gifts of the universe.

Even with funding being low we were still able to meet our nutritional needs and pleasure our tastebuds, and that really means alot to me. And then today to top everything off to make it even better I walked into Broadway Smoke Shop and received this beautiful letter from my little sister Amanda accompanied by this beautiful help wallet waiting for me that goes perfectly with my big sized hemp dime bag purse.  Especially since I’m wearing my afro out. I feel amazing! I hope everyone else does, too!
