Helping Hands


Happy May Day! Can't believe it's May already.

If you get a chance read this article - it brings tears to my eyes because it's no longer about the game being played, who's winning, who's better but people coming to the aid of another and bringing to light what really matters. I love reading, hearing, seeing true stories like this of any sort (and would like to see more!), where selfless acts are displayed - and I hope to be more aware of my place in this world and help those around me.

Hi Heidi
When I saw your picture of the Maypole, I had a flashback to the first May Day in my memory. My mom helped me make May baskets, and then drove me around town teaching me how to hang the basket on the door handle, ring the bell and then leave.

She said the person who answered the door was then supposed to try and catch you and give you a kiss. Knowing this, when we stopped at the home of a boy I liked, our pastor's son, I just stood at the door after I rang the bell. When he saw me, he called his sister to come give me a kiss. I was probably in 1st grade.

What an awesome story. :)

Happy belated May day! Every time May day comes around, I think about the impromptu parade of nekkid bicycle riders about 8 years ago. Fortunately one of my co-workers was waiting for the bus with me and we looked at each other and said how glad we had someone with us because nobody would EVER believe it. We both worked late that day and had quite a surprise waiting for us.

She emailed me on May day this year and wrote, "remember when".

Heck yes! I sure do!

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow
