Master of The Obvious


You know, I have to laugh at myself sometimes. I really do miss the obvious... ALWAYS! My sister and I have been in discussion after discussion regarding what we feel the best diet is. After reading The China Study, my sister is convinced that a 100% raw diet is the way to go. I do NOT feel this way as my health has been completely turned around prescribing to a life centered around balance (I'm sorry, I have removed "balance" from my vocab. I meant harmony), balance of rest and play, balance of work and family, balance of protein and carbs, etc. The person in me knows that I am happiest when I have a little bit of everything and no one portion or area out weighs another. I also know that Leviticus Chapter 11 goes into great detail about meat that we can eat and meat that we cannot eat. But after reading The China Study, my sister is convinced that all meat is bad. I made the point that due to the fact that farmers do not give the ground a rest after 7 years (Exodus 23:10-11) and our ground is polluted that crops (even organic) are depleted of nutrients and can potentially be harmful depending on where they are grown. Which we never really know. While The China Study focused on the effects of consuming meat, claiming it to be bad, the same could hold true for the consumption of vegetables and fruit. Where is our line drawn. So, back to Captain Not-So-Obvious!




I'm explaining "the great debate" to my chiropractor. I explained my sister's views on the subject of a proper diet and then I explained mine. I told him that if we just know how our food is grown/raised and how it is processed/harvested, I believe that a balance of food is meant to work together in the body to make us healthy. My chiropractor asked, "So your sister isn't eating ANY meat? Did you explain to her what it says in the Bible?" I told him that I did but that I believe many people are convinced what is in the old testament doesn't apply. I do not believe that. After a second of thought, he replied, "Yah, I don't believe it either. If we weren't to have meat, why did God give us canine teeth? I mean, if we were meant to be like hippos, wouldn't we have teeth like hippos?" The man is a genius!

How do I miss the most obvious things? The simplest of explanations completely elude me. Since I believe that one should find their own truth, I will reserve that epiphany for an appropriate discussion down the road. In the meantime, isn't it amazing how incredibly designed we are? How nature holds the simplest of clues that we often miss. Well, I know I did! Complete genius!!!
Oh, and P.S., the model for the AMA "mouth" pic shown above should really do something about those cavities in their molers... just kidding!

MY VERY FIRST CRICUT CARTRIDGE GIVE AWAY!

Ok ... so the time has come. I've got some BRAND NEW, NEVER BEEN USED, STILL IN THE PLASTIC Cricut Cartridges to give away over the next couple of months and it starts with one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES...... Hannah Montana! YAY! I LOVE this cartridge! It's got the most beautiful guitar images along with musical notes and FIVE fonts! I used the regular font and the rock star font to create my Father's Day card this year (see above). I also used the Hannah Montana cart (see below) to create a beautiful butterfly (FREE Gypsy cut file HERE ), and am currently working on a project using the gorgeous solitaire diamond. There's a rose and lips and decorative hearts, even a Pegasus ! There's just so much on this cartridge.... I use it a lot! To call this a "font" cartridge is terribly misleading. It's been a long time favorite and now I'm THRILLED to be able to give it away to one of my awesome readers! So here's how to win: Become one of my follower...

RIP My Friend

I think this is what drowning feels like.  I lost a friend yesterday.  And I'm afraid that I am just having a very hard time finding the words to express what the world lost.  I'm having a hard time KNOWING she's gone.  I just can't believe that Trisha Giallella died yesterday. I've known Trish for a large chunk of my life; she was the sister of my sister's ex husband. But for all the years that I knew her, I never REALLY knew her until very recently.  Oh sure, over the years I would listen in awe at all her stories.... stories of making movies in Hollywood, the wild parties and dating Rick James.  To a young girl of 15, those stories seemed like something from TV itself and far removed from my own piddly little life.  The fact that she even shared her stories with me sent me into a stuper.  I always had stars in my eyes when I listened to Trish talk, she was so glamorous and very, very tough... very passionate and good at "living".  I...
