Are you SPookY??????

ooooooo do you believe in spirits?   SPookY stuff --


I do!  (wizard of Oz Lion)... "I do believe in Spooks, I do believe in Spooks"..... hahahha

I'm not talking about Spooks (all though it's close to Halloween)
I'm talking about Your "SPIRIT"  happy, sad, glad, mad ????????????????

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow (body), and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart  

Within One scripture the Word talks about BODY, SOUL (mind) and Spirit. 

 This verse is like God is Surgeon and his Word is the Scalpel.   

He (God) is the one to go to when you need to Exam and detox your Body, Mind and Spirit.

Part of Good Health is to "Detox".  Yes, You can also detox your mind and your spirit!  You just don't use a gallon of lemon water with maple syrup!  Thank God for that.




Getting back to the "SPIRIT"


Get in tune with yourself and your "MOODS".... they are a reflection (symptom) of your "SPIRIT".


Up, down, in, out.... how fun are you to live with or be around?


Do you wake up with a solemn face... no smile and almost grumpy.... barking...

 "don't talk to me until I have my coffee"  

Mamma Mia... what's that matter with you!  You gotta no respect... 
(hahahah ..... makes me think of that funny song on You Tube: 
Shaddap You Face - sung by Joe Dolce

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFacWGBJ_cs

True?  - You have no respect for you and those around you when you Mope around...

think about it - Your body gets the message from your "Spirit".  Your body then responds.. .
ok maybe you say that your body is achy in the morning and therefore it makes you grumpy...

What really comes first:  The Chicken or the egg.

Is your body achy because your Mind an Spirit is unbalanced?   As a Registered Nurse and "achy" body can be a symptom of depression.  Think about it.  Your mental and spiritual health expressed in your body.


Your Choice!  Always

We know that even the world acknowledges that we are a spiritual beings.

We are told to have "team spirit".  We hear that alcohol was referred to as "spirits"
you know what I mean.....  Our Spirit if sick can make us sick in our body and minds.

I believe that we "catch" other peoples spirits - like the spirit of depression... spirit of anger... spirit of hopelessness.   Freak... poor people that are exposed to your spirit if it's down.

We can "catch" the Spirit when sitting at a football game.... it's amazing how we get "caught" up in the excitement and FEEL IT!

SPIRITS are CONTAGIOUS!  

My point is this.  Part of Health and Wellness is about "self discovery".

Get in touch with what you do, how you act, what you think, what you say, what you do.  

Good Lord Man GET IN TOUCH WITH YOURSELF so you can detox and get healthy.

Too bad I can't send you to a lab and order up some lab test on "character or self worth" - WOW, what would your lab results show?

Respect your self

Honor your self

When you wake up "grumpy" or "down" or "no energy".... it's a SIGN!  READ THE FREAKIN SIGNS!  Pretty please, for your health.

Take the time to have the Word of God exam your soul (mind) and spirit.  Ask the Lord in prayer
to carve out the cancerous spirit of hopelessness, resentments, anger....unforgiveness.  These are the tumors that cause "grumpy, moody, depression".

Yes, You heard it hear!  

And as Lilly Tomlin would say -
hahahah........ LOL.....I can see her now in that over sized rocking chair ... saying

"and that's the truth!" 

 Laugh In show  circa 1970's

The healing for your soul and spirit is found in the Word of God this is where you "detox".

Healing for your soul and spirit is NOT found  in an 

"Apple Pancake" at the Original Pancake House.  

(pretty amazing  stuff.... but only 0.1 oz of nutrition found in a pound poisonous white sugar)

So,  I suggest  when you Wake up

 SLAP a smile on your puss,  Speak words of gratitude and appreciation to the Lord, stretch your body... and attack the day with the Spirit of "CAN DO ATTITUDE"  make it your best day ever.
Be YOUR OWN COACH  and get on the Winning Team.... Do it for  the "joy of living"


Ciao
Salute!  To your Health and Wellness

it's U P to you

Like it or not..... It's U P  to you to keep everything in your life in balance  

Unless you go and live in a cave, 

you HAVE people and things that need YOU 

and you probably need them more than you know.

Sure, you can reduce the "un-necessary" things in your life.... but they may be the things that bring you a sense of joy or peace.  Only you can judge what you need and don't need.  Maybe time to "clean house" of the stuff in your life.  Detox your world?

We all are trying stay on the tight rope of life and juggle the 

NEEDED, NECESSARY 

people/things in our lives.

It's a long list....... relationships, work, school, home... all while trying to not fall off the tight rope. 

(at least that is how I see it)  I  use to say I lived in a "three ring circus" 

(Three kids... being a single mom... Yikes)

Here is the deal.   YOU CAN DO IT!   I CAN DO IT!  WE CAN DO IT!

It's not just about attitude.  It's not just about "time management".  It's not just about "being smart"...

It is about YOU being balanced  

so you can balance the "stuff" in your life 

This is about YOU being balanced -  That's the essence of my blog 

This concept has been known for centuries and throughout cultures:

Even today people seek Traditional Chinese Medicine to  to help restore harmony to our modern, hectic lifestyles. 

The Truth is that "our creator" knows what we need to create balance and harmony in our lives.  I find it's helpful to take what  truths other cultures have found when it comes to "balance and harmony".... BUT just keep it in perspective. It's an imitator of the truth.

  It's kind of like  finding  an imitation Louis Vuitton bag.  

Still pretty, Functional.... it's just not an original and authentic,  they USED the real thing.

So, getting back to the fact that unless YOU are balanced - You can't balance the "stuff" in your life.

Do you believe that?

I liken it to this:

It would be impossible to bake a cake without the  proper ingredients and necessary tools -

dahhh like  AN OVEN!  The same truth is here too.  Your life is continually in the making... bake baby bake.

What are the ingredients and tools YOU need to be balanced?  To produce a healthy end product.

As I've said in the past blogs..... 

You need a healthy spirit

You need a healthy body

You need a healthy Mind

YOU make the choices to feed you mind, body and spirit or to  neglect it

MY RECIPE for Health and Wellness:

Nutritious food for your body

Nutritious food for your mind          +   EXERCISE/ACTION   =  H E A L TH and WELLNESS

Nutritious food for you spirit

*****************************************************

Really,  think about what you think (thoughts) and your exposure to TV/Movies.... Literature.  

This is all " Food"  for your mind.  Yes,  junk food or healthy food.... 

THEN.......Think about all the above (TV/Movies, Literature) as "Food" for your spirit too.

Reading and Praying and Meditation and Singing/Listening to Christian Music 

is "Food" for your Mind, Spirit and... get this.... your body too.

We all understand about vitamins, minerals and fiber for our bodies..... 

START thinking about FOOD FOR YOUR MIND and SPIRIT Too - Not just your Body!

I started my quest, journey (whatever) because I was discouraged and disgusted with my failed attempts to lose weight.

I found that my weight problem was a symptom of an unbalanced ME.

Construction zone sign is still in place on my forehead.... I'm learning, discovering and actually enjoying the walk.  That is SOOOO important.  I'm finding joy in this journey.

I've caught the attitude of can do..... want to.... will do......  I'm finding b a l a n c e.

When asked or told.... "too much spiritual stuff" in my blog.... I say

If you believe you're only a body and mind, and believe when you breath your last breath you just cease  to exist and go back into the dirt of the earth.... then read no further.  It won't make sense.

If, however, you do believe in something bigger than you.  

Believe that you are an incredible, 

created, complex and fascinating being... 

created for a purpose.... read on.  Welcome.

B A L A N C E  and find your joy of living

Ciao

Salute!  To your health and wellness

(for  what I believe assist with success in weight loss go to blogs Jan 01 - 21, 2010)

  

Got a minute?

Here is a thought:

When you buy a  bag of lemons what do you see?

When you see problems coming your way what do you see?

When you experience loss or disappointment what do you see?

Are you a half full or half empty person?

Choose who and what you want to be!

YOU control your attitude and how you SEE life.

I pray you see  a Lemon Meringue pie, challenges to grow stronger, A silver lining, a half full glass.

Your Choice, Your life

Ciao

end of the day thoughts -

I miss when I don't blog properly in the morning.  I mean, that my blogging was my time to re-enforce  and inspire me for the day.  I fall when I don't balance myself in the morning.  For sure

Ok, so here is what I read tonight:

John 11:9-10   

⁹Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? 

A man who walks by day will not stumble, for he sees by this world's light. 

¹⁰It is when he walks by night that he stumbles, for he has no light."

I really do not like the night time for this very reason.... it's dark... things go bump in the night.... things hide... YIKES

Yes, I'm a scaredy cat - Thank God for Remote controls.  When I babysat as a teenager it would be horrible.  It would be like midnight and while watching "love american style" a scary commercial would come on and ... and.... I get chills just thinking about it.  I couldn't get to the TV fast enough to change the channel (no remotes in those days)... So, I'd cover my ears and sing "jesus loves me" out loud to drown out the sound of the TV.  

Point is.... I recognize that I'm afraid of the dark.  And when I talk about balance.... same truth holds.  Darkness in my natural world and Darkness in my Spiritual world.  

I want to walk in the light.... therefore I must READ the "light".  He (Jesus) is the light.  

So in the morning I will blog and prepare myself to have a successful day walking in the LIGHT of his Love, Grace, Strength, Forgiveness, Mercy and.... WOW.... Walk in Him.  

Buona Notte!

Who ya gona call?

It's YOUR CHOICE

It's YOU

It's what you choose

What don't you get?

Who do you hurt when you make wrong choices?   YOU  YOU YOU


What don't you get?

How can we be the most amazing creatures on this earth and yet make such STUPID choices?

How can our generation have immediate access to Unlimited Knowledge, yet walk BLIND?

As I listened this morning to a song

You are God in Heaven and here am I on earth

So I'll let my words by few

Jesus I am so in love with you

And I'll stand in awe of YOU, Jesus

Come on - Wake up and FOCUS

We are ignorant, stupid people when we forget our creator and for WHY we are created.
When we Choose to neglect we are  a SPIRITUAL being


Gotta run and chase the dollar

Ciao

just in the nic of time

Hi, I'm still here!
