I HAD TO STOP SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY

June 23, 2008 · 2 Comments

It’s been a little over a year since my whole being really started coming back to life.  Since that dreadful day when I received the tragic news that my health was drastically deteriorating, and hope seemed to be lost.  I refused to accept that faith, and I sort my Heavenly Father for answers and reached into my inner-soul and pulled out strength with a determination that I knew I could make it.  I’m back on my feet now, and am grateful for a full recovery.

I, however, often wondered why?  Why was I plagued with such despair?  Why me?  I’ve prided myself as being a good person, and doing good by others.  Why did this befall me?  I searched my heart looking for answers, and one day the light bulb came on.  I got it now!!  It was all because of me.   I brought this on myself.  I was sleeping with the enemy.  The enemy of WORRY, ANXIETY, STRESS, CONFUSION, ANGER, etc. into my life.  I welcomed all these dysfunctions to take control of me.  I allowed people into my space with major issues, that sucked me literally dry, and zapped all of my strength.   I allowed myself to be a sponge and I became saturated until I was on overload.  When situations would occur that was upsetting or completely “out of control”, I did not put a stop to it, I continued to allow it to happen, month-after-month, year-after-year, and I did NOTHING about it.  People only do to you what you allow.

Finally, after not taking control of these situations, they manifested themselves into health conditions that threatening my emotional and eventually, physical well-being.  It makes sense to me now.  As a result of having this second chance, to “right” the “wrong”, I can now dismiss “unnecessary stress” out of my life.   After coming to this realization, I can maintain a lifestyle more conducive to overall wellness.   When I find myself in an uncomfortable setting, I can immediately dismiss it without consideration.

Oh yes, the elders use to tell me that “life will teach you valuable lessons”.  I understand now!!  As a result of the pain that I’ve suffered, in order to circumvent unnecessary health challenges,  and keep my emotional well being in place, and live an abundant life, I’ve come to realize that “I Had To STOP SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY”!!

EMERGENCY – SOMEBODY CALL 911

June 19, 2008 · 1 Comment

Alarm sounds off and its time for another day.  I drag myself out of bed, kicking and screaming because of the heavy workload ahead.  Got to get to the office early because the meeting starts exactly at 8:00a.m., and since I’m conducting the meeting, I can’t be late.  “Do I have all my notes”?  I guess.  I hope so.  Afterall, I stayed up all night trying to get everything done, so I hope it’s all here.  Traffic is hideous as usual.  OMG, I don’t believe this, I forgot my Laptop!!   This day is not starting out very good.  Look at this madness, people are jumping in and out of traffic, just getting on my nerve.  This is all I need, some idiot just ran into that car…I’ll never get to work on time now.  Finally….. I can see the parking lot…Oh No, am I seeing things? My VP Parking space is occupied.  Who the H- – - is in my space?  I  don’t believe this.  Just wait until I get in that office.  Security….Security, would you please have that car towed out of my space?  Man, the nerve, parking in my space.  I need a vacation!!  I don’t have time for a vacation…I’m too busy.  I got reports to complete, spreadsheets from last month’s meeting to compile, office procedure manual to have ready for HR to review….and I have not started the Directors Guild Portfolio.

Ok, I gotta get a grip.  Let me take my Blood Pressure Meds and get my nerves calmed.  Nowwwww. that’s better!!  OMG, it’s 1:00 already and I have a 2:00 appointment with the President of Marketing, and I have not had lunch yet.  I gotta grab a bite to eat before this appointment.  “Susie, will you be a dear and run downstairs and grab me lunch?  I don’t care what it is….I’m starved.  Thanks Susie.  Oh, now I feel better, but I’m having a little indigestion, let me check to see if I got my anti-acid meds with me.  I hope I didn’t run off and forget them, I don’t want this meat sitting on my stomach today, besides I’m feeling sluggish.  I gotta get some rest. I can’t get rid of this constant headache.  Let me see if I got my pain meds.

Oh, Hi, Mr. Porter…come on in and have a seat, I was just finishing lunch.  I’ll be with you in just a moment.  Susie, could you please see if Mr. Porter would like something and bring me a soft drink and stop and grab me a candy-bar out of the vending machine?   I need some energy.  Susie would you pull that Project Manager’s report from last week’s meeting.  Susie!!  Susie!!  Where is Susie?  Oh, that’s right it’s already 6:00.  Susie left at 5:30.  I guess she didn’t want to distract me.  Oh well, I’ll take care of that tomorrow.  It’s going to be late before I get home.   Gotta stop by the cleaners, go by the grocery store, drop off an overnight mail package.  Man this traffic is awful out here.  My goodness, I forgot to take my Heart Pill.  Let me stop at the Service Station and get some bottled water and take it right now.

STOP – PAY ATTENTION!!!!  This is a very typical SCENARIO of most Americans.  When the Heart just cannot take anymore, your arteries are severely clogged and your body literally starts to shut down….it will be too late!!  Day-after-day your schedule is on overload, your stress level is at an all time high.  Your body is lacking REST, PROPER FOODS or NUTRITION that is required to sustain itself.  You just didn’t have time, you didn’t take time!!

GONE TOO SOON

May 20, 2008 · 1 Comment

It’s been very hard for me these past few years.  The pain I’ve suffered from losing my best friend, confidant, and inspirational counselor, just to name a few.  I now believe that the severe lost and grief, manifested itself into my own personal health challenge.  Depression, anxiety, irritability, piercing internal pain, severe inflammation throughout my body, nausea…arthritis, liver disorder, all signals that my body was breaking down.

Through it all, I never lost my grip on life.  With strong family ties, and a spiritual belief foundation, I was convinced that “everything works together for the good of those that love God”.  With this said, I saw my destiny.  I often wondered my purpose in life, and I questioned, what difference will I be able to make?  Will I be able to make the type of difference that my best friend, inspirational counselor made?  The answers to my questions, were deposited into my spirit.  With all of my many projects I’ve encountered from Typing Resumes, Working in Corporate America, Booking Travel Vacations, Decorating, etc., however, none fulfilling.  But now, my Purpose has been defined.

I’ve lost loved ones from treatable health conditions.  People that truly love God, but did not take care of the temple He provided.  Overeating and making food choices that deemed detrimental to their overall health.  Had I known, then, what I know now, perhaps a difference could have been made. Huh?

I cannot change the past or bring my loved ones back.  I can now share with others my experience in hopes that my story will make a difference for someone else.

Make better choices as it relates to your eating habits.  Do something healthy each day that will nourish your body.  If you must have fast-foods, substitute a salad, rather that fries sometimes.  Trade your soft drink for water.  Eat an apple, rather than a candy bar.

Had I known then……..what I know now.  The simple choices in life……makes all the difference.   In memory of my best friend, my confidant, my spiritual counselor, which is my big sister.  I love you and I miss you so much.  She is Gone Too Soon, but because of the difference she made for me, in so many areas of my life, I have an understanding of why I was faced with my health challenge.    The experience humbled me even more, and as I worked on my recovery and healing process, it gave me a renewed spiritual awareness, and allowed the new growth in my life, coupled with the willingness to give so much, because so much was given to me.

THREELAC OR FIVELAC – WHICH SHOULD I CHOOSE?

May 4, 2008 · 4 Comments

FiveLac has an additional Two (2)….yes 2 strains of Live Bacteria.  Here they are:

FiveLac Active Ingredients

  • Bacillus coagulans: A probiotic organism that may help control lactose intolerance, digestion and stomach problems, and normalize cholesterol levels. It also may enhance the immune response and inhibit bacterial pathogens.
  • Bacillus subtilis: A probiotic organism that may combat harmful microorganisms in the intestines, particularly pathogenic bacteria that cause dysentery.
  • Enterococcus faecalis: Enterococci constitute a major genus within the lactic acid bacteria group that exists naturally in the human digestive tract. This effective probiotic bacteria is the result of formulation under strict laboratory conditions.
  • Lactobacillus acidophilus: These friendly bacteria inhabit the intestinal tract and protect against unhealthy organisms. The breakdown of nutrients by L. acidophilus produces lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and other by-products to enhance optimal intestinal flora.
  • Bifidobacterium longum: B. longum may help keep the digestive system running smoothly, block the growth of harmful bacteria, and boost the immune system.

FOR NATURAL RELIEF WITH NO SIDE-EFFECTS!!  Don’t Be Without FiveLac.   There is NO NEED to be stuffy, sneezing or have itchy runny eyes.  I had all these symptoms, but with ThreeLac or FiveLac….ALL GONE!!
