Dear Austin Residents,

Yesterday, I heard that your City Council was taking action on buying hotels to try to solve the problem of homelessness in your city. I was overjoyed, as this has been a vision of mine for many years - that we would have a network of hotels nationwide that could be established as residences and rehabilitation programs for people who have found themselves battling homelessness.

This morning I woke up with this heavy on my heart. As a Social Worker graduate and fellow citizen who has lived in the "middle class" most of my life, I think I understand your concerns. However, as a Christian and someone who was temporarily thrown into poverty for at least five years, I also have a unique perspective I hope to bring to this conversation. 

When I looked up the news story last night, I was sad to find the videos of some of your residents protesting. I want to offer my response to the concerns raised in hopes that a larger understanding towards the homeless population w...

Adding Green Smoothies to your diet can seem overwhelming and nearly impossible, especially if you are not used to it - or have tried one or more and gagged each time. :)

I assure you, there are combinations that you can do. Just keep working with it to find what works for you.

Here is the "Formula" I use when creating Green Smoothies. Learning this formula will help you be more creative in making your own. You also won't be as limited by trying to follow a recipe only to realize you are missing ingredients. 

Rachelle's Green Smoothie Recipe Formula

• LEAFY GREEN LETTUCE - spinach, kale (about 50-75% of the Vitamix full)
  
  
• LIQUIDS - citrus juices work well (orange juice, pineapple juice from your cans or use frozen pineapple and add water) (about 1/4-1/2 Vitamix full)
  
  WATER - use filtered. Make up the difference as needed to save on juice used.
  
  COCONUT WATER - find the brand and flavor you like; they have different tastes. This is a great way to add electrolytes.
  
  
• FROZEN FRUIT - can a

Today, my friend shared her story of frustration as she went back to her doctor to check on a sore area with a lump. It has been weeks since her mastectomy, and she was concerned. Rather than getting to see her doctor, she was seen by a nurse practitioner. In addition, the technician taking her scans seemed to be doing so while being trained. All of these things didn't alleviate my friend's concerns. 

Her oncologist is not supposed to recheck her labs for another four months. Well, as we know and have heard often, cancer cells can multiply very quickly. 

I had also previously suggested that she ask her doctor for an order for a nutritional lab panel, as we are working to help her add in more nutrition for her post-chemotherapy healing. Rather than her getting that, they suggested she go to her PCP doctor for this bloodwork (pass the buck). She does not have a current PCP. The one she had been recommended to is not accepting new patients. To find another one requires research, time, e...

Hello again,

This is what I am compelled to do at 5 in the morning when I need to clear my mind as I try for the hundredth time to figure out the best way to manage our lives. LOL.  

I will try to come back here and upload some of my charts to help you....

How we are to BEHAVE

1. Seek the KOG (Kingdom of God) above all else. Live Righteously.
2. Don't worry about tomorrow. 
3. You will be treated as you treat others. Do not judge others - else you are judged the same way.
4. Get rid of the log in your own eye (stay humble)
5. Don't throw your pearls to pigs (or you will be trampled, turned on, attacked)
6. ASK, SEEK, KNOCK - Keep on it
7. Do to others what you would have them do to you
8. Find the "gateway to life"
9. Be honest
10. Walk with integrity
11. Be just
12. Be faithful
13. Make wise choices

God will give us:

• everything we need
• a treasure of common sense
• He is a shield to us.
• He guards our path.
• He watches over us.
• He keeps us safe.
• He will save us from evil people.

God's definition of "evil people"

• wrong ways
• enjoy twisted ways of evil
• crooked actions
• twisted words
• turn from right way - take dark paths
• take pleasure in wrong doing

Here are things to watch and listen to.

Not only do you need to be continually renewing your mind to the Word of God (BIBLE); you need to add seeking knowledge, understanding, and wisdom about your health and healing from cancer.

Here is a collection of things I have collected (and will hopefully keep adding to) to help you stay organized. 

1. Chris Beat Cancer

   He offers his program free at certain dates. Watch for that - or go ahead and buy his course and not only do you support him, but you get the information at your convenience. Here is Module 1 and the list of the other Modules he offers.
   
   If you are a beginner to understanding that it is possible to heal cancer cells - you will be able to follow Chris. He teaches his content very clearly and concisely.
   
   

2. The Truth About Cancer Videos

   This website has a TON of great videos that will be helpful. 
   
   

3. Future Videos & Audios Can be added here

PANTRY ORGANIZATION

OXO Good Grips POP Container Set

This may seem like a luxury item, but now that I have had these in my pantry for over six months, I would say they are a necessity. ;) The ability to see our food and easily access it has made a huge difference. In addition, it's a great reminder when you open the pantry to incorporate eating whole foods rather than boxed and processed foods. When the whole foods remain in boxes and bags, they look more equal nutritionally to the other foods in processed containers. 

There are other brand containers, but we like the easy pop top feature of these, and they have been great at keeping our ingredients air tight and fresh.
