Natural health
has been my passion for over 28 years. As I was growing up (never forgetting the love for my Minnesota roots, and so much too be thankful for), my dear mother sought after health changes for herself and started sharing some of that with us in the family. It was when I moved to Arizona that I took her knowledge shared and I took the mentoring from some wise pioneers of the Naturopathic health industry. Through this journey I found out that a quality, balanced and an intentional life is in my best interest.
Then as this journey progressed I became committed. Going much farther with it all...I dug deeper. I will give credit where it is due and that is with the god-given strength and wisdom I asked for from Him I started striving to be Intentional with what I was doing to my body, mind and soul and making the right choices and following through with perseverance. With many other people and their knowledge, I have always tried to seek His wisdom as I waded through many of the products and services out there that I had encountered. I've created this space to share the many products, ideas, and resources that have greatly blessed and enriched the life of my family! I want too support a healthy American...(Proud to be an American and God Bless America and all who have fallen and all who are still stand up and defend it still today)...family lifestyle created and designed by God. It is all a heavenly heirloom that can only help us enrich this life that we have here on earth and that will one day be a memory. Yet an Eternal blessing awaits us! Why not be healthy and productive for the time that we are given.

This high quality thought process is my
legacy, I want to give as a family heirloom to all our other family generations! Looking back and knowing your heritage, what your true linage is and understanding how to nurture these deficiencies with natural whole foods and remedies is so rewarding.

Encompassing health products, educational videos, outdoor living, communications and more, it is my hope that this page will be your portal to a
healthier and more vibrant life. Maintaining a balance in all areas of your God given life.

Be concerned for
your wellness and treasure yourself, have faith and seek the hope in Christ because you are special and have special gifts. All of us are created for a special and unique purpose in this life!! You are worth a lot! We all can share our gifts. Seek after a personal relationship with Him. Stay strong spiritually. Healthy eating of good foods, some raw, and minimal amount of processed foods. Drinking plenty of purified oxygenated water. Sun light and that outdoor living. Deep breathing daily which is building your maximum capacity. Maybe extra supplements and minerals if needed by your body, exercise. Some quality rest and relaxation for your body. You are housing the holy spirit; For no other reason...Be Fit for the King! LOVE, respect, truly value and treasure family and friends!!! Always give your VERY best, not perfect...just your intentional best!

Thanks for visiting and may God's blessings smile on you and those you love. Live life intentionally and start living the saying that, you are just "Too Blessed to be Stressed" So, everyday..."Make a Great day of it!"

Living Life Intentionally in all areas...body, mind and soul!

"But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

And other friend's special recipes
Please use Certified Organic whenever possible and please
use whatever’s freshest at the market.

There are times I try to cut down on dairy products and use alternatives in some places (optional)
depending on your needs.

Arugula Salad and Coco/Nut


Use any fresh greens for this healthy salad many assorted mixed salad greens out there (Costco)

In a medium large glass or stainless steel bowl mix all the ingredients together very well (except for the coconut and walnuts) Check to see if it needs more salt. In a large enough bowl to hold your salad greens and drizzle desired amount over salad greens and gently mix well to coat. Serve on a plate or salad bowl and sprinkle with coconut and walnuts. If you are serving as a main course top with cooked chicken, salmon, or tofu.

*Bragg Liquid Aminos and other organic products are available at Healthy Habit, Whole Foods, Sprouts.

Watnut Co-co-nut Cookies


Preparation time: 15 minutes

* 1 cup salted butter, softened

* 1 cup coconut oil, melted

* 3/4 cup granulated sugar

* 3/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar

* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

* 1 egg

* 3 1/2 cups flour

* 1 teaspoon baking soda

* 1 cup dried, unsweetened flaked coconut

* 1 cup cornflakes cereal

* 1 cup chocolate chips chopped nuts of choice

* 1 cup rolled oats

*  3/4 cup walnuts

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy with an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Slowly add oil and mix until oil is well incorporated. Beat vanilla extract and egg in until well incorporated.

Mix flour and baking soda together and stir into butter mixture just until combined. Combine remaining ingredients and add to dough, mixing just until incorporated.

Using a small cookie scoop drop tablespoonful sized cookie dough balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet spacing about 1 inch apart (they won't spread much). Bake in preheated oven for 7-12 minutes, just until lightly browned.

You can also freeze individual balls of cookie dough and freeze for later baking. To bake simply place frozen cookie dough onto sheet (there's no need to defrost) and bake as directed (adding a few minutes to cook time).

Remedies - Good, bad for Your Health? They work or Old wise tale??

A Friend Sent me An Email These Remedies Have You Heard Of Any Of These In Your Time, Or Maybe You Have Used Them Yourself?? Who knew?

===============================
Achy muscles from about of the flu? Mix 1 tablespoon horseradish in 1 cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as a massage oil for instant relief for aching muscles.

Balm for broken blisters... to disinfect a broken blister, dab on a few drops of Listerine, a powerful antiseptic.

Try Young Living Meleluca Oil check: www.NaturalHealthLiving.com and right site links, click on Essential oils.

Listerine Mouthwash therapy for toenail fungus: Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again. WARDS OFF MOSQUITO’S TOO!! DOUSE A SOFT CLOTH AND APPLY TO SURROUNDING WINDOW/DOOR FRAMES!

Meleluca Oil

Sore throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.

also: Warm sea salt gargles continually.

Vinegar to heal bruises... soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the blueness and speeds up the healing process.

Honey remedy for skin blemishes... cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a Band-Aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.

Quaker Oats for fast pain relief... it's not for breakfast any more! Mix 2 cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm in the microwave for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to your hands for soothing relief from arthritis pain.

Hunt's Tomato Paste boil cure... cover the boil with Hunt's Tomato Paste as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and bring the boil to a head.

Did you know that Colgate Toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns?

Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.

Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just dissolve two tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms. Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost instantly-even though the product was never advertised for this use.
Did you know that drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost immediately-without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional pain relievers?
--------------------------------------------

Easy eyeglass protection... to prevent the screws in eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear Nail Polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them.

Smart splinter remover: Just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-All over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue.

Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer... if menacing bees, wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground instantly.

I PERSONALLY WOULDN’T RECOMMEND some of these because they have properties that I feel should be free of additives, the chemicals!
