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.

I listened to the Lou Corona story on You Tube.  Here is the link.

The Lou Corona story has similarities with my own story.  Lou Corona was a young man serving in the Air Force when his  health began to decline.  He ended up very ill in the hospital before it was over.  Here is the steps that correspond with my own experience.

Seek an answer in prayer.  Lou and I both walked away from the hospital with an expectation of being taught what to do.

There was an element of surrender.  Lou said, "You take me or you show me."  I said, "Either God is going to heal me, or I am going to die."

There was a place of decision.  In order to get well, you have to decide to live.  It requires changing the way you think and being willing to be shown the way to live.

Being grateful goes along with surrender.  Be thankful for every single day.

Connect with a mentor.  In my case, I was led to Dr. John Fielder.  I continue to learn from him.  He is a wonderful role model for the simple, natural lifestyle.

Live the lifestyle of raw foods, pure water, fresh air, sunshine, exercise, peaceful attitude, and prayer.

"I am a seeker of truth.  I was given the truth, and I'm doing my best to live by it."  -Lou Corona

To health and happiness.

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...

Alko Shredder

 It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday.  I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer.  I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished.  We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today.  First thing we saw was a garden shredder.  We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home.  There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany.    For dinner tonight I made a soup.  The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe:  Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato.  Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil.  In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...
