Number one HABIT

Breathing & praying are LIFE to me and my most important & #1 habit would be PRAYER while being aware of my breath at the same time ! ( Okay so that might technically be two … but I will put them together as one & recommend you do as WELL. )

Without breath we are not alive physically ~ but HOW ALIVE we feel depends on our breath and there is so much we need to learn & unlearn .

The book Breath by James Nestor & the teachings of Patrick McKeown have been SO beneficial to me that I recommend them to all .

For example : DID YOU KNOW that the Native American Grandmas & Moms would check the infants to make sure their mouths were closed when sleeping & close them if they were not?

THERE ARE MANY LOST REMEDIES that are coming back as science catches up with the Bible ( See Gen 2:7)

FOR NOW and /or & until you check them out~~` just laugh MORE and or go for a daily walk TO BREATH MORE & listen to nature talk which can be a way of how Creator speaks to us I have found ~ we all sleep better when we walk & talk daily with our Creator In Creation !

The hospital is full of shallow breathers ~ may we not become one of them I pray.

(often disease is caused because of stress and how one deals or does not deal with stress )

To be spiritually alive is to be connected thru prayer with our Creator about all of life including our stresses.

Our Father in Heaven who gives us breath & life both physical & spiritual will give us answers if we listen because He cares! 1 Peter 5:7  Let GOD have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.

My prayer is that we all will BREATH WELL & PRAY continually TO BE WHOLE ~ so that our body, soul & spirit can soar above all the earthly pressures & trials and we can bring heaven to earth ~ with JOY , PEACE & right~living ONE LAUGH & PRAYER AT A TIME ~ more easily able to share kindness & love to all .

MAY WE FULLY ENJOY THIS PRECIOUS GIFT OF LIFE WE ARE GIVEN DAILY !

May our hearts be FULL OF WONDER THIS WEEK LIKE A CHILD ~ laughing & learning & perhaps even skipping again and /or humming or singing ( some of the greatest health & stress relievers and NO COST even ~ money back guaranteed ! )

When is the last time you skipped or hummed ? Get a friend or a neighbor to join you & you’ll both be giggling & feeling younger together ~ PERHAPS EVEN START A CLUB ? !

LET’S BE FULLY ALIVE ~~ like a child yet not childish ~ knowing we are FULLY KNOWN & FULLY LOVED

FOR WE ARE MADE BY LOVE TO GIVE & RECEIVE LOVE ~

AS A MOTHER & GRANMA of many that is my truth & I am sticking with it ~ and IT WORKS FOR ME even in the most stressful situations including deathbeds & traumatic events. BREATHING & PRAYING ARE VITAL ! I have buried two sons & a marriage after 33 years among other tragedies.

PRAYER works for me with no bad side effects ~ What works for you ?

WHAT IS YOUR ONE HABIT that makes everything else work better for your day & life ?

FOR ME IT IS BEING AWARE OF MY BREATH AS I PRAY WITH A GRATEFUL HEART TO MY GOD & OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN NO MATTER WHAT I have learned to Trust & just keep breathing while talking to & listening for HEAVEN’S voice & reading the Bible as if it was a love letter daily just for me & you ~which it is !

I AM PRAYING FOR YOU NOW TO TAKE A LONG SLOW STEADY BREATH LIFTING UP YOUR HANDS TO RELEASE ALL THE TENSION WITH A THANK YOU LOOKING UP IN YOUR MINDS EYE & A LISTENING HEART TO GOD FOR THAT BREATH ~ MAY YOU HEAR THE VOICE OF HEAVEN & RECEIVE THE LOVE THAT IS BEING WHISPERED TO YOU EVEN NOW AS I WRITE THIS ….

AHHH…. and HUG YOURSELF 3 times LONG & STRONG ~ ending with a little tickle & a neck rub? !!

May you have a blessed day & night more than usual seeing all the WONDER ~ with

SWEET HEALING DREAMS TO YOU & me too

& ALL ~~

AND MAY WE ALL WAKE RESTED & REFRESHED & EXCITED TO LIVE & SHARE JOY WITH SOMEONE ALONG WITH HEAVENLY PEACE ….

NO MATTER WHAT ~~

lovingly

.Genesis 2:7 says ~

then the LORD God formed [that is, created the body of] man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being [an individual complete in body and spirit]

THE NOSE IS FOR BREATHING ~ PRAYER IS FOR LIFE !

JOY & PAIN of LOVING

BIRTH IS THE MOST THRILLING OF EARTHLY EXPERIENCES BUT IT IS OFTEN THE MOST

CHALLENGING AS WELL~especially the next 100 years or if the child dies before the mother!   IN other words LIFE IS a BEAUTIFUL MESS & BITTER~SWEET!!!…

 

…A MESTER~ PIECE ….orchestrated by the MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE WHO CAN MAKE
ALL THINGS TURN FOR GOOD IN TIME IF WE WILL ONLY TRUST & DO THE NEXT RIGHT THING!photo

THE SMILE on my face is the thrill of a water birth at home after hours of labor & laughter to bring forth our last son! My 12 year old daughter, ( still an amazing photographer!)took

this photo at the moment of my last of 10 births ( 8 are still living on this earth).

Anything worthwhile takes effort & even a certain amount of pain to learn to breath with & through to manage life well. I got very good at practicing breathing with my many births

( the last 5 at home !)

Life IS about taking DEEP BREATHS FOR LIFE!

It is the first & most important principle of good health~

all three aspects of good health: BODY ~ SOUL~ SPIRIT BREATHING!

AND DEEP BELLY LAUGHTER COVERS ALL THREE ASPECTS WHEN DONE PROPERLY!

TODAY my oldest son would have turned 26 ~ but sadly Luke Henry Clifford was sang into

Jesus arms & heavenly peace at the only 1 week old as his father & I wept and began the grieving process that only someone having lost a child can understand.

Doctors misdiagnosed  several times the “problem” pregnancy and ultimately GOD had different plans for our precious & beloved first born son.

ONLY GOD can give the peace that I experienced at those critical moments when the world

seemed to be falling apart .

GOD has carried me & guided me and I THANK GOD DAILY for the gifts I learned during

Luke’s short life AND death and though I miss him dearly, I am SO GRATEFUL for the GIFT OF
LIFE & DEATH because GOD IS NOT ONLY WITH ME BUT IN ME.

ASK GOD TO SHOW YOU THE WAY.

Jesus example of TRUSTING HIS FATHER & FORGIVING & LOVING ALL
IS THE WAY
IS THE TRUTH
IS THE LIFE

 

AND THIS IS THE LIFE
I WANT TO LIVE & DO PRACTICE DAILY TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY WITH GOD’S HELP
WON’T YOU JOIN ME?

FOLLOW JESUS John 17:3

IN FULLY EMBRACING THE JOY & PAIN OF LOVING EVERY MOMENT OF LIFE!

Eating healthy for LIFE

What you eat & what you think is WHO YOU ARE…!!!

I lean towards a RAW & VEGAN diet as much as possible with Spirit lead exceptions.

I can tell how I am sleeping & feeling LARGELY depends on what I eat.

How good can I feel? ….that is a question I think of first thing in the morning…For the better I FEEL the better I treat myself & others and the more I can help others.

It really does start with habits. What do I first THINK about…& put into my mind and mouth….am I going to choose to eat healthy ~ eating to live  or do I live to eat?

How the day begins sets the stage just like how to start to feed a baby. Changes are harder to make the longer we wait…Don’t procrastinate.

DO IT NOW!!! CHOOSE A RAINBOW DIET!!! nice , organic fresh produce then watch how much better & nicer YOU PRO~DUCE…& reduce your healthy & mental ‘issues’
PREVENTION IS OUR NEW HEALTH REFORM!
BE WISE ~ EAT WISE ~~~~ EAT HEALTHY FOR LIFE & BE AN EXAMPLE before you try to teach others! It will be contagious when they see your energy & vibrant glow…IT CAN NOT BE HIDDEN…and then the spiritual eyes open so much easier!…LIFE IS WHAT I WISH FOR US ALL ~~~ ABUNDANT HEALTHY EATING & THINKING LIFE TO SHARE!!!

FRESH APPROACH.org  What a great organization I discovered …or actually they discovered me…from the town I was born in even….!!

How impressed I was by the free Library program I ” happened” upon giving away farmer’s market dollars to come to classes to learn about eating healthy ~ why & how!

for more info check out :
http://freshapproach.org/

Here is just one of the flyers from the 5 week class!

DO VISIT A FARMER’S MARKET or create a market in your neighborhood.

Let’s get back to the garden of good eatin’ …..
