I Hate Being Sick!

I have spent the past few days not feeling very well. I did all my tricks to get rid of whatever the "bug" was and managed to keep it from really taking me out but I still did not feel 100%.  I went to the caves in Idaho Springs in an effort to burn it out, slept with lavender or Breathe, taken my homeopathic flu remedy and still I just couldn't kill it!  Well, a little extra rest, a long walk with the dogs and adding the electric blanket seems to have taken care of it.....FINALLY!

Now I have the energy to build a couple of event pages for some friends that want to have a Nerium party but they live in the Midwest and I am going to play with some new essential oils and do some reading about ways I can use them to help my big dog become more relaxed. 

I am realizing that I have a bunch of things on my plate that are all wonderful products.  I have learned tons from using and being involved with these companies and their products and all of them have blostered my intention to live a cleaner, less chemical filled life.

I will be working on posting about each of these companies over the next week so that you can see what it is that I find to be so wonderful.

Have a great day!

Dancing Fat Ladies

Now don't take that the wrong way....they are just 2 statues on the corner of one of the main streets in Fort Collins.  I love their expressions and they just make me smile.

I spent the day in Fort Collins with my Mom today.  She has never been there so I decided that we would take the day and paddle around the down town area.  It is a bit like Pearl Street in Boulder but I happen to like it a bit more than Pearl Street.  Funky little stores, great people and tons of breweries (I love micro brews!).

Our first stop was the rock shop....Mom loves rocks!  That took almost an hour mainly because I had to touch just about every rock in the place and I absolutely love their granite plate ware room.  The dishes come in different colors of granite and it amazes me.  The jewelry there is also fabulous and the selection of crystals is huge.  After the rock shop we paddle around the rest of the square loving the old buildings, looking at quaint, one of a kind shops and talking. I love that I am able to spend this kind of time with my Mom just enjoying each other's company and wasting the day together.  I am truly blessed!

We finally decided that we were hungry so we headed over to the Fort Collins Brewery and ate all things NOT Paleo.  The food was outstanding and well worth the belly ache I have right now.

Tomorrow I'm back to eating right because this is not comfortable.

Catchup

I've been gone for a bit....seems to be my MO.  Time for me to change that and be more consistent.  So it's now time to catch up with anyone who wants to follow this strange journey I'm on. 

So, if you've read any of the things I've posted previously you know that my life has been a bit weird but certainly not unusual.  Bad divorce, my youngest moved out after we discovered she was Type 1 diabetic, my oldest didn't talk to me, the other 2 in between still do, I lost everything in the bad divorce~including my self esteem.  I decided years ago to go "poo free", I buy very few cosmetics and use only natural cleansers for me and my house and I sell the few cosmetics I do use because I can get behind the companies and the products.

During the time that I have been absent I spent a few months travelling this country and camping with my dogs.  We went everywhere!  It was a glorious few months and I really love that way of being.  One day while bashing around in southern New Mexico my Mom called and asked me to come back to her house as she needed to put her cat down and she wanted the dogs for the type of unconditional love only an animal can give.  Well, I have become firmly entrenched in Boulder, CO.  Not my first place to live but for now it will work. 

One day at work a co-worker asked me a question regarding alternative health in front of another co-worker.  The second co-worker said, "She knows shit.  You need to listen to what she tells you."  I didn't think much about the statement and went on to answer the question.  The next day my sister (she lives here too) told me over coffee, "You know so much stuff about all kinds of things and you really need to think about charging people for your knowledge."  Both of the statements add up to the same thing.....I know all kinds of shit about living a cleaner, healthier, chemical free life. 

So that's what I'm going to write about for the next little while. If you have questions, just ask.  Maybe I can help or maybe I can help you find a different way of getting healthy.
