Mother Connie Sez: Thank Your Lucky Stars!

Cheese, please?

Can we all agree that people are funny about their food?  From infancy on, everyone has their favorite foods and flavors; people like or dislike foods for a variety of reasons.  Most of those reasons make no sense to any one but the holder of the reason!

Little kids don't like bread crusts.  Some family members 'fight' over the 'heels' of every loaf!  Kids are notorious for not liking vegetables; husbands want the food their new brides prepare to look and taste like the husband's mother's dishes.  The list goes on and on.

Over lunch today the Normanator and I mused that we are blessed to have food.  When we say grace before a meal, WE MEAN IT.  Not that our menus are all that outstanding - today we had creamed cabbage with leftover spaghetti and we sopped up the tomato sauce with warm, moist pita bread.  As if that were not feast enough, we celebrated the meal with dessert: home canned applesauce, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon!  What could be tastier in the middle of a sunny day?

There was an abundance of bread, so I offered to share it with someone I know is in need.  Serious need...turn-your-power-off-tomorrow need.   She lit a cigarette and cocked her head as she told me that  she doesn't LIKE that kind of bread.  She would prefer to have CHEESE.

I do not share this anecdote with you for purposes of judgment; it is meant as an observation.  It is a clear picture of what FREE WILL is all about.

But I did take a lesson from this.  As I left this needy woman I heard a voice in my head from my past.  Someone I admired admonished me to  "ALWAYS accept what the Universe offers you, even if it does not look the way you think it should."  If you don't accept, you literally turn off the flow of abundance and prosperity that is meant to come to you.  

You could think of it the way you think of water pipes.  If you turn the faucet off and beg for water, it won't arrive.  YOU MUST TURN ON THE FAUCET TO RECEIVE THE WATER.  It's the same with our abundance.  We need to open the gates and allow it all to come to us.

It's all right.  That bread has been crushed into crumbs and it will got into a variety of meals: meat loaves, casseroles, even croutons for soups.  I have a notion to invite the needy lady who doesn't like that kind of bread to come by and share a meal...

Meantime I shall thank my lucky stars and count my many blessings.

Mother Connie Sez: New Jeans...Smaller Size?

Looks as if her weight loss program is doing the job for her!

Since it is January, most everyone I know is on some sort of program.  Some are eating differently, or taking smaller portions.  Others are meeting with groups of like minded folks who want to slim their silhouettes; still others have been browsing the self help books of their favorite book shops to find THE ANSWER to their downsizing project.  Is it diet?  Is it exercise?  Is it even POSSIBLE?

Personally, I've been 33 so many times that my size really is the most insignificant to me ever.  Time was when I obsessed over the size of my waistline.  It just isn't one of my priorities any more.  I'm far more interested in being HEALTHY and FIT than what I look like in a swimsuit.  

WHO AM I KIDDING?  Where would I WEAR a swimsuit?  It's January, remember?  grin 

There is a program that piqued my interest, though.  One of my associates popped up on one of the social networking sites...he looked all buff and muscular and I was curious how he managed to make the metamorphosis from very thin to all healthy looking and fit as a fiddle in a very short time.  He declared it was "Fearless 45!"

Here's what I found out:  He spent 45 days with a program designed to help him GAIN weight!

SAY WHAT?!  I thought the subject was WEIGHT LOSS!  

Well, you just have to see for yourself, boys and girls.  You take a look and then make up your own mind.  As lazy as I am, I'm really tempted to GO for it!

Here's where to find the straight skinny.  Uh, I mean the 411:   

CLICK HERE NOW

Oh...just a word of caution: This is a program that is FEARLESS.  It's nothing to toy with because it gets good results.  Scope it out.

You are really going to love this if you would like to have new jeans in a smaller size!

Mother Connie Sez: Didja Miss Me?

Well, here is Mother Connie.  She SEZ her rotator cuff is torn but it has not impaired her ability to put three squares on the table day after day...

 The saying goes, "From sun to sun, woman's work is never done."

That rings true, doesn't it?  Those of us who cook, cook no matter what.  Those of us who are parents, take care of our children, in every case.  And even when someone's rotator cuff behaves badly, there are meals to cook and blog posts to make.  Pass the aspirin, please.

If you have passed by this page and found the same old post day after day, it's because Mother Connie been "indisposed" but it has not prevented her from cooking!  Or delivering the Lincoln Journal Star!  I must admit it has inhibited her sleep time!

When you have been 33 as many times as Mother has, well, muscles and joints may become a bit on the creaky order.  Add to that an injury from a traumatic fall - and all that cooking - and you have the perfect formula for how NOT to get things done.  Particularly when you ALMOST fall again and your rotator cuff rebels in screaming technicolor.

My dear high school pal, Sheila, offered to come and teach me how to be left handed but I guess her travel plans have fallen through.  Meantime, I am becoming more proficient at compensating.  A sense of humor is an advantage, too! 

Oh, there are the endless hot packs, the pile of pillows to get a good night's rest, and all that aspirin.  But the real relief is coming from-you guessed it-The Healing Codes.

It seems to me that my heart knows the truth of why I fell and what I'm to learn from all the drama and aftermath.  Unfortunately I have not been enlightened as yet, so I am performing those Healing Codes FAITHFULLY and with good and steady results.  

Cooking is one of my favorite things.  The Healing Codes are favorites of mine, too.

Is it any wonder I love my life so?

Mother Connie Sez: GOOD GRIEF!

Good Grief, McGraw!


All the medical news that's hit the airwaves and my eardrums has gotten on my LAST NERVE!  

PEOPLE!  We have GOT to start thinking outside the box!  Once and for all, we need to think for OURSELVES!

Here's the thing:  There are "public service" ads...

SIDEBAR: public service, my hind foot! END SIDEBAR

...touting  the efficacy of DOUBLE VACCINATIONS for whooping cough FOR BABIES!

There are ads all over creation for vaccines for shingles and "other adult diseases."

Mother Connie is not able to understand WHY this is.  Why must the public be bombarded and pelted with all this fear mongering?  Why can't we all just realize that good health does not result from a medical appointment, the stick of a needle OR TWO, and it is not accomplished because we take prescription drugs, replete with all their ugly and unwanted side effects?

There is also the small matter of FLUORIDE.  I went to the drug store recently to see about tooth paste.  Personally, I choose to use ToothSoap, but this purchase was for someone else.   Just out of curiosity, I looked at the labels of every brand of tooth paste offered.  VIRTUALLY  NONE WAS WITHOUT FLUORIDE.

Here's why that's a problem:  Fluoride, which is highly toxic, has been shown to cause mental retardation.   But when flavoring is added to make it more palatable and catchy ads are placed in shiny magazine pages and clutter the air waves, people seem to flock to get the brighteners for their pearly whites...and BESIDES, IT IS CHEAP.  Sigh.  Long sigh.

It's very simple, folks.  Eat lots of vegetables and fruits!  Get organic if it's available!  Do not overeat!  Get some exercise!  Take good nutritional supplements!  Sleep enough to feel rested and refreshed!  Drink plenty of pure water!  Think good thoughts!  Be good to others; furthermore,  be good to yourself!  Participate in activities that are meaningful to YOU and surround yourself with people you love!  Brush your teeth after every meal, but not with fluoride!  Don't fall for the stories that abound about how you NEED this pill or that formula.   

We all would be well advised to think outside the box. Don't follow the herd; think for yourself and intend to be well and happy.  Pay no mind to those ridiculous "public service" announcements and you'll be the better for it!

Mother Connie Sez: Listen to George?

This is pretty much all that's left of our stored goods!  

George Carlin had it right:

We have promised ourselves we will spend 15 minutes a day EVERY DAY, dealing with our STUFF, until it is absorbed into the household and we have room to park our vehicles IN THE GARAGE.  Wow, what a concept! 

If you tend toward hoarding or if you procrastinate about getting shed of things you no longer love or things that no longer serve you...OR IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE LIKE THAT...they need to hear what George says.  He tells it like it is.  Never mind the few bad words he throws in.  The point he makes is that we all have too much stuff!

Having things is not wrong.  Having too many things, though, can be a problem.  

Do you buy things and then suffer guilt pangs?  Do you give gifts in the hope of gaining friends or someone's approval?  Do you anguish over money issues?  Has the quality of your sleep been impaired because you worried about your belongings?  Has your health spiraled downward on account of paying for all those things you thought you could not live without?  Did your relationship with someone dissolve over money issues?

Do NOT despair.  Make a plan to spend 15 minutes a day every day until you have managed that clutter and over supply of material goods.  Stick with it until you have reached your goal.  And do check out The Healing Codes because they take up hardly any room at all and once you LEARN the protocol, you can pass along the information to people who matter to you.

Bruce Lipton, Dr. Alex Loyd and Dr. Ben Johnson have dedicated their lives to the concepts and principles that make up The Healing Codes.  They have helped LEGIONS of people, including themselves and the people they love most.  The science behind The Healing Codes is sound.  The results are real.  See for yourself:  GO HERE NOW.

Oh, and by the way, after you have wrestled all your stuff and have it under control please follow this one rule:  If something comes INTO the house-garage, tool shed, whatever-something must GO OUT.  It keep the balance and permanently reduces stress!  Great strategy, isn't it?
