Plant those seeds friends. I love having friends, mentors, and even people I don’t know throwing seeds my way…. I try to keep my own soil fertile to allow for personal growth.
Meanwhile, I hope and pray I’m able to pay it forward by sowing seeds for others.
Either way, huge blessings result!
Receive the seed. Be the seed. Every day!

(Well written words from a sweet and gifted friend:
God
Republic or Democracy?
The health and wellness of “us” also depends on the health and wellness of the country we live in (Interestingly, also “US”). Because of this, I began taking classes on the Constitution and then teaching them. History truth is as important as health truth if we are to be whole body healthy. I Corinthians 12 speaks about the roles we all have in life so that the “whole body” can be healthy. We can look at this on a microscopic level (gut health) or a macroscropic level (country or world health). Either way, it requires unity to be healthy.
Mahatma Gandhi said, “An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it.”
Let’s keep history accurate so we can be healthy both individually and as a country and world! 🙏🇺🇸♥️😊
*******************************************
I’ve had 2 discussions with people in the last few weeks regarding the Constitution. These are people who also say they love the Constitution but believe it is written for a country based on democracy. The word “democracy” is not mentioned in the Constitution. (Check out Article 4, section 4 within in the Constitution ) To love, respect, believe, and honor Constitution (that which protects every single one of us here in the USA), first requires understanding what it does and does not include.
The author of the article below sums his article up nicely here …..
“A major difference between a republic and a democracy is immediacy. The Founders wanted laws made by representatives in order to put a buffer between popular passions and legislation. In a democracy, decisions are made in the heat of the moment, while periodic elections in a republic provide a cooling off period. To a great extent, democracies are ruled by feelings, while in a republic, the rule of law governs. In a republic, politicians can take principled actions that go against the will of many of their constituents with the knowledge that they will be judged by all the actions they take during their entire term in office.”

Life, Liberty, Happiness
Happy Independence Day weekend friends!❤🇺🇸❤
Total health isn’t only about the physical body. The more I study and learn, the more I see the enormous unaddressed gaps in Western medicine. Mind, body, spirit, community, (and in my opinion, having full faith in Jesus ) are all necessary for a life that is full of peace, health, and joy filled.
I realized about halfway thru my pharmacy career (of 30 years) that pharmacy would bring a solid paycheck but would not bring me peace, health, or joy. The stress and the hours and the speed and accuracy with which you are pressured to work is grueling (there are very few healthy pharmacists out there). Even more importantly, I had come to realize that what truly brings health (mind, body, spirit alignment) would never come from a pill. The problem tho, was this, how do you leave that which doesn’t serve you…. whatever THAT is?
You find what DOES serve you….. what makes your heart sing….. what brings you joy and peace, and then you pursue it, even if it means only 10 minutes a day….. you make it happen. Baby steps. 👣 Gradually, you invest more time and effort because THIS (whatever your “THIS ” is for you) fuels your fire….. it might just become your blueprint for an exit strategy to leaving that which no longer serves you 😘.
This is what personal growth and development looks and feels like. A constant honing and awareness off correcting course. We only get one life to live, and it is honoring to God to live it fully using our gifts to help others and also to carry joy in our hearts always.
If you feel stuck somewhere in life, I encourage you to think on this. “Stuckness” will eventually affect your health in ways you’d never imagine 😔. If you’d like to chat a bit, find a mentor who radiates joy! I can pretty much guarantee they would be happy to talk to you and share their story. One of the reasons I love Young Living so much is because they serve a community of passionate people who have realized that freedom has many facets and they all involve, …..as the Declaration of Independence so beautifully states….. the God given right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (tho I much prefer to say the acquisition of joy!❤🙏) .
Have a beautiful July 4th weekend! 🇺🇸

What’s Hyssop
Hyssop. It’s got an interesting aroma…. definitely herb-y in nature, and not common found here in the USA. Historically, hyssop has quite a tale to tell both Biblically and as an early BC/AD medicinal plant. Did you know that according to the World Health Organization, upwards of 80% of the world’s population still rely on traditional medicinal plants for primary healthcare needs? Pharmacognosy is the study of medicines produced from natural sources such as plants. Do some digging on hyssop. It’s an interesting one!
Happy weekend friends!
