WEGO Health


Stream of Consciousness Day. Start with the sentence “_______”just write, don’t stop, don’t edit. Post!



When I first saw this prompt, I drew a blank. What do I write about? What goes on in my head? Ha ha! We may not want to know but today will be a peek.



This post may be sloppy with run-on sentences and spelling errors. Thanksfully, some will be corrected thanks to autocorrect. Some will live on forever on this blog.



Anyway, starting to think about this was giving me a complex I think. I'm actually afraid to do this for fear of where this may go. I almost didn't do this one. This writing challenge has been good for me in a lot of ways but in one other way, I feel inferior. Inadequate.



I know I shouldn’t compare myself to others but I can’t help it sometimes. Many of these other writers are facing real serious challenges and illnesses and here I sit typing away about fluff stuff and being a little overweight and that my biggest challenge is keeping active. Ugh. But I’ve made it clear (I hope) that I’m aware of my good health and I certainly don’t take it for granted.



I know this doesn’t make me or should make me feel any less but in some ways I feel I have a story to tell somewhere. Maybe??



I draw inspiration from others no matter their challenge. I'm inspired to do better, motivated to do something.



I feel inferior in other areas though. I know I know, STOP IT! I need to stop thinkin that I need to have this or that (not just material things) or look this way or that way, wear this or that, do this or that, be here or there. I can criticize myself over everything. So what is my deal? I don’t know. Maybe I’m just close to that time of the month so I’m more sensitive or maybe it’s my mind saying you have the ability to change whatever it is you don’t like or is it a female thing? I hate that by the way…and “that time of the month” stuff, too. I hate excusing it.



One thing I’ve hated about the excuse of it’s htat time of the month is just because it is doesn’t mean you don’t have those feelings of anger, sadness or happiness or whatever. It’s just heightened, IMHO. The filters no longer work (or as well) to keep emotions in check.



Anyway, I don’t mean to make this post be so negative but maybe it’s something I needed to share. I’m human. I have my ups and downs like the next person. It’s not often I get really personal on this blog. I keep somethings close to me out of protection.



There are some things I wish I could share here because it could either help someone else or help me better understand others or what to do in some situations but out of respect for others I don’t. it wouldn’t be fair or appropriate.



This post has me a little emotional right now. I’m frustrated . i don’t know what to think now. I sound selfish. I’m complaining about being inferior but then turn around saying how grateful I am for my good life. Does that make sense?



I am selfish. I am. I’m getting worked up about what others may or may not think, which isn’t fair in itself. It’s all stupid and silly.



But maybe I needed to just throw this out there to get the marbles out and start fresh again. A weird way of venting I suppose. There is a strong possibility thought that an hour from now I’m going to feel silly about this post being out there.



Time to end or I will ramble on for who knows how long and then you’ll KNOW how weird I am! (Hey, being weird is a badge of honor!)



I’ll have do another ramble on post another time but hopefully one more upbeat. Time to hit publish before I read this!

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
