Sad News from Afghanistan

I woke up at 4:30 and read my Bible.  I have 56 books left to go in order to read the whole Bible before I leave here.  Right now I am reading from Genesis, Nehemiah, Proverbs, Isaiah, Zephaniah, Acts, and Hebrews.

Hebrews 7:7  For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

Today we planted four new trees and fed two more trees.  I made two trips for wheelbarrow loads of blue stone.  Blue stone is heavy!  I also got a load of mulch.  We got these all finished by lunch.

Lunch was papaya, avocado, sapadilla, pineapple, banana, and coconut.  I didn't want my banana.

I got a sunbath today.  The sun was quite hot.  I stayed out almost an hour.  Maybe that was too long as I started feeling nauseous.

Consultations at 2:00.  Penny did good with her sugar levels today.  This morning it was 5.3, before lunch it was 5.6, after lunch it was 8.8.  She didn't take any insulin today.

We talked about some of the raw food resorts, restaurants, etc.  They try to make the raw food resemble the traditional diet, and they sweeten everything.  The doctor told us we need to get back to simplicity.

Supper was lettuce leaves, two tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, sauerkraut, one date, and a few pecans.

I'm still having withdrawal symptoms from food.  I'm a food addict.  "Hello, My name is Janis, and I'm a food addict."


I practiced flute even though I didn't feel like it.  My Natural Hygiene Lesson was on the Suppressive Surgical Treatment of Tonsillitis and Enlarged Adenoids.

I was sad about the 30 Navy Seals losing their lives in Afghanistan.  I brought it up at dinner just because I felt the need to talk to someone about it.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Dr. John Fielder's Visit

My Natural Hygiene teacher and mentor, Dr. John Fielder, included us again on his Worldwide Raw Food Lecture Tour.  He arrived at my house on Monday, May 14.  Tuesday we had a raw foods dinner at the house for a few of the people that helped to organize the events here in Arkansas.   Wednesday, the Hot Springs Village Raw Foods Group met at Gulpha Gorge Picnic Area for a picnic with Dr. Fielder.  Wednesday night he made a presentation here in Hot Springs Village about the Principles of Natural Living.  The following night he spoke at Mt. Pleasant United Methodist Church in Little Rock.  There was a good crowd at both events.  Dr. John Fielder Here I am introducing Dr. Fielder at the HSV lecture. At the lecture we served some raw food treats for our guests to sample.  One of the items was a chocolate granola bar.  I cut the squares much smaller for this event because of the number of people we had to serve. Chocolate Granola Bars...
