New Year Awakenings 2016!

First week of 2016 is already days gone by! Today I had an Epiphany of sorts! Lightbulb! I've been struggling with my WORD for this year. Today as I wrote a list of possible goals I have, and virtues I'd like to work on it came to me that I want to be STRONG! And in that a source of STRENGTH for others! As I looked up on the wall of the school I saw then my favorite verse from High School, "I can do all things in Christ Who strengthens me" and smiled. After work I was glancing through emails and one of the radio blogs I follow was titled "Mothering From a Position of Strength" !! I was filled with that secure conviction of purpose, that AHA! moment that I hope everyone who reads this can reflect on for THEIR own personal use in the new year. I'm working on not sweating the small stuff in the normal course of life while trying to instill some new healthy changes for our lifestyle. This has become increasingly challenging with high school age children who buy and do make some of their own decisions. Working on a book but that is in 'spare' time so it is a slow process. How many of us refuse to make resolutions so that we won't fail? I AM ONE OF THOSE! I'm fairly picky about what we have in the house. I let up at holidays and summer bbq's over some of the processed garbage I dislike immensely. So after Christmas and New Year's celebrations and travel I almost always feel the need to cleanse my system and offer this to my family. <<<<< My new favorite kidney cleanse help >>>>>>> Watermelon and 1 peeled Lime Blended in my Nutribullet. I definitely recommend an extractor or machine that does not remove all the pulp in your juicing method. My next favorite meal is always Asian Weight Loss soup. I've posted it here before so I'll spare that time. In that fashion though I just found a jump start broth to detoxify with that I'm going to try this weekend... I'll pass on the results and the recipe / diet if I feel it worthwhile. Much joy and love to your precious homes in 2016! May you be STRONG in your convictions and comfortable in your own skin.
