Have Courage
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 ).
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

Raw Milk Introduction Story
My “gateway drug” to better health and understanding the truth about natural ways to heal started in my mid 30’s when I had broken my wrist. I was working as a pharmacist at Walmart back in the mid 1990’s……. counting pills etc with a cast on my arm. In the course of 2 weeks, two different precious ladies (angels really!) changed my life by telling me I needed to drink raw milk to heal my bone more quickly.
The first lady told me this, and I remember thinking “oh Lordy, raw milk is sooo dangerous”, I could never do that (pure ignorance and ego on my part. After all, I was the one who had gone to school to combat disease and dysfunction ).

).About a week later, the second pharmacy customer came by and said something similar, only this time, I heard the Lord say, “I told you once, here’s your second chance to hear what I’m trying to tell you. Don’t be stiff necked about this. ” It was the nudge I needed and prompted me to do some research outside of what I had been fed in school and by media. I found a book…. The Untold Story of Milk by Ron Schmid. It’s more of a textbook that combines history and science, and it changed the trajectory of my life.
Back then, I was an indoctrinated cog in the wheel of the medical industrial complex, just like everyone almost everyone else who goes through the western medical professional education system, However, once I learned the truth about raw milk and the milk industry, it gave me a thirst for what was actually true….. not that which was driven by money and profit.
The layers of the onion are many.
The Bible talks about milk quite a lot ( 68 times to be exact) and for good reason. It is healing and it is nourishing…. lifegiving.
Here’s an interesting article, originally written in 1929 I think you’ll find interesting. https://www.realmilk.com/milk-cure/
Don’t let bias, belief, or ego get in the way of learning the truth….. not just about milk, but about anything that may be standing in the way of mind, body, spirit health.
The Bible speaks of stiff necked people too…. 40 times.
Have a raw milk moustache Monday!

Baby Pictures of Henri, the Squirrel
Another Throwback Tuesday! I love these precious memories of my wildlings. Henri was with us for many years (ha ha…. if you see the old Mindwise bottle label you’ll be able to approximately date this picture). Henri was raised on raw milk and NingXia Red. She eventually became an “outdoor” squirrel, and lived on our porch wild and free as an adult with us for many years.
She loved her NingXia Red!
