Faith in God

Did the groundhog see his shadow or not?  I'm confused.  I read that Punxsutawney Phil failed to see his shadow as it was overcast and 8 degrees in Punxsutawney, PA.  A friend in Tennessee, however, posted on Facebook that he did see his shadow.  Does each location have it's own groundhog?  I'm expecting six more weeks of winter, but it is supposed to be in the 60's here today.

Travis bought me a new book, Natural Grace, by Matthew Fox and Rupert Sheldrake.  It arrived in the mail a few days ago.  Karl suggested to Travis that this was a book I would like.  I can't wait to get into it.  Chapter One is entitled Living Nature and Creation Spirituality.  Maybe I will do some reports on this book as we go along.

I hope I am getting more fit by working out at the Fitness Center.  I still look dumpy in the mirror, but I have faith it will make a difference.  There are some very fit old people that come to work out.  We saw my friend and hairdresser, Adolfo,  there yesterday.  He volunteers there three days a month in exchange for a membership.

My sister and I had a discussion about our upcoming trip to Europe.  She does not want to go to Paris or Berlin.  Her focus is on the Chateauroux area.  After talking to my grandson, Zac, we have decided that we will still go to London and Chateauroux with Sheila, but we will do Paris and Berlin on our own.  It should be a fun time.

Lunch:  Green smoothie, 1/2 avocado, and freshly grated coconut
Dinner:  Veggie cocktail, green salad; sauerkraut, 1/2 avocado, trail mix

I am still being inspired by The Quintessence of Natural Living by Keki Sidwha.  Here is my latest report on what I learned from it....

The reason why drugs appear to alleviate symptoms is because the body has to stop the healing symptom and deal with the drug.  Once the drug is excreted the symptom will return.  The drug is toxic so often even worse symptoms show up thus the cure is worse than the disease.  The end result is that our illnesses last longer than necessary.

About three or four years ago I had what I suppose was shingles.  I had been on my healthy diet and lifestyle for a year or so.  I broke out with a rash across the trunk of my body.  The pain was excruciating.  It felt like little pointy knives sticking in my body.  A doctor friend strongly suggested I go to a doctor and get some medication to relieve the symptoms.  I was polite but knew I wasn't going to an MD.  I tried to call Dr. Fielder, but he was traveling, so I just braved it out. The next day it was worse.   I laid on my bed and squirmed and moaned and wondered if I was doing the right thing, but in just a few hours it was gone as if it had never happened.  The body was allowed to do its work and cleanse itself of some accumulated toxins.  Had I gone to the doctor and taken drugs my energy would have been diverted from healing to fighting the foreign agents.

The body can repair itself.  We see that all the time when we cut ourselves.  It is a truth that only nature heals.  When we get in too big of a hurry to "do something", we interfere with the healing process.

There is a lot of money being made by making people dependent on drugs.  And we are willing to be fooled with the promise of a cure.  Drugs do not have the power to cure, but they do have the power to destroy.  Most people don't want to face up to that.  Even  over-the-counter drugs do damage.  They cause irritation that over time takes its toll and causes congestion, inflammation, and eventually more serious things such as colitis, appendicitis, or hemorrhoids.  We usually don't ever think about the simple over-the-counter medications being the cause.  Every drug has devastating effects on the whole body.

We are endowed by the Creator with the inherent power to heal, repair, and recuperate.  If we leave Nature alone to do its job instead of searching for new remedies and cures we will be better off.  I see it as faith in God as opposed to faith in the world system.

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...

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.
