Have Courage

Liz James · January 1, 2025 ·

2025 is just around the corner. Are you looking forward to the new year of opportunity to further become all God intends for you?

I am!

People who know me well might likely call me courageous, even at a young age. In many ways, this picture is me, both as a kiddo and as an adult. (and yes, I have been charged by both a bull

and a bear

in my lifetime… so far

I have some big plans this year, and while I’m not afraid of the work that is required to make them happen, the one thing I struggle with is the “what if I let someone down?” in the process. I know that “feeling” is a spiritual oppressor trying to stall my victory on these plans. It’s better to face that oppressor head on than to leave it lurking behind me in the shadows where it can do damage. It has no hold when the light is shining brightly on it. Please consider praying for me in 2025 on this specifically. (I’d be happy to share what two of my big goals are over a text, phone call, or a cuppa tea

)

How may I pray for your word, theme, goal, or struggle as we walk in to 2025?

Happy New Year! xoxo~ liz

Get Ready To Reset Now

Liz James · December 21, 2024 ·

Enjoy the holidays, but if you are so inclined to be thinking about ways to improve your lifestyle in 2025, and would like a community to step into, there is a HUGE reset FB community online making life-changing (and in a few cases, probably lifesaving

) waves as a community.

The missing piece of a health journey is frequently lack of community and/or lack of support and encouragement as you “do the thing”. People often pay big bucks for that in the form of private or group coaching and not everyone can afford that. This is where the resetter community steps in. Learn from one another, find a buddy, and move forward. Baby steps lead to giant leaps!

If you are ready to get your toes wet, I’d like to offer you a couple of complimentary coaching sessions to boost the success you are reaching for. Please reach out to me privately for details.

When you feel your best you are more apt and able to live the life God has intended for you

Skip The Nitrates, Not The Ham

Liz James · December 20, 2024 ·

Good morning friends! If a Christmas ham is on your menu this coming week, be sure to buy a variety that does not contain chemicals (specifically nitrates). Sodium nitrate reacts with the acid in a person’s stomach to form nitrosamines- one of the most cancer causing agents known (esophageal, liver, stomach, kidney, pancreatic, colorectal, and others). Regular consumption of nitrates may also increase the risk of type II diabetes (think sliced deli sandwich meats, hot dogs etc)

Interestingly, there have been over 1400 medication recalls in the last several years because of nitrosamine formation that has occurred during the production process of medications in some batches of medication (eg: metformin, ranitidine, losartan, valsartan, and other ARB’s are some of the more common ones). The FDA says nitrosamines are safe in small doses, but I am more of the mindset that if you know something is cancer causing, isn’t it best just to avoid it as best as you can? Small doses add up if you are taking them daily! (and it’s just one more reason to work to avoid medications whenever possible and use botanicals or holistic/ alternative methods of healing whenever possible

)

If finding a local pasture raised ham isn’t feasible, here are some brands that are Nitrate free:

Naked Bacon

Applegate

Boar’s Head

Jones Dairy Farm

Wellshire Farms

Happy Friday!

Tis The Season For Peace

Liz James · December 19, 2024 ·

Tis the season to (maybe) feel a little more stressed than normal as demands for your time increase, and you start feeling like “Grandma got run over by a reindeer” while “the Grinch was trying to steal your Christmas”.
