There is value in planning and preparing

Day 10 of 21


This is a little glimpse into our refrigerator. You can see my lunch bag is all set and ready to go, usually John's is beside mine but he is working from home so no need for his bag, and frankly a good thing, not sure there would be room. 

I talk a lot about preparation and planning.  That has been key for us. We make it a point to say at least a day ahead of our meals, prep in advance what we need to and and portion out what we can so it is easy and ready to go when we need it.  In the end the time that we spend preparing not only helps us stay on track it saves us time in the long run.

Everyone has their own way of doing things, this works for us and it has helped us stay 100% on track and committed, its working and so we are sticking with it.

Make no mistake, its not easy. There is a lot of thought, preparation and time that we have collectively invested.  And that is all good because we are WORTH every precious minute. And we are reaping the benefit of it in the results that we are already experiencing this early in the cleanse.

So here is a glimpse into our day:

In my heart I know that they are together in heaven celebrating with Jesus and all those I love who have gone home to glory and that brings peace and comfort to my heart. My heart is also filled with so much gratitude because my parents left us with so many wonderful traditions and family memories, family was everything to them. They always instilled in us a spirit of gratitude and unconditional love, and I am so grateful that never was there ever a time that I talked to my mom or dad that I did not tell them how much I loved them. I was by mom’s side when she drew her last breath and I saw the lov...

Spine Surgery, Faith and Gratitude - A Long Road to Recovery

It's been awhile since I've shared on my blog, and this post was not at all what I had planned to share about, and certainly not as much, its long, yet here it is...... and so I'm hoping that my story may resonate and bring some hope to others who may be gong through something similar.  If it strikes a chord let me know, I'll do my best to share the journey.....because for me anyway, it's just beginning.  In August, I underwent emergency spinal surgery to remove a fractured disc between L3 and L4. The disc had shifted and was pressing directly on my spinal cord, leaving me unable to sit, stand, or walk, and in excruciating pain from my back down the right side of my body—all the way to my foot. It was terrifying, and the pain was like nothing I’d ever experienced. I had surgery on a Sunday morning, and that moment marked the beginning of a long road to healing. Anyone who’s had spine surgery knows recovery isn’t quick or easy. But I’ve been so incredibly blessed a...
