Joys of Simple Natural Living

Living and Loving in the East Texas Woods
Such an incredible gift! To be able to take a year off the fast track—to be able to do one's own work, to be able to be absorbed in one's own world, to know the simplest self without others' projections, without having to dance to another's expectations, without having to meet another's deadlines. I was able to rekindle my own life's light “to keep enthusiasm from extinction.” I'm sure my greatest fear is to lose my enthusiasm for life.
I have always felt that life was made for experiencing, both mentally and emotionally. Our intellect learns from others or books. Our emotions learn from feeling, from the subtle antennae that spread and connect and receive many silent sources. I remember once a friend was horrified when I told her that, for me, the Creator is like an octopus and we are like the suction-cups on the tenacles—we are sucking up experiences in the manifestation for the unmanifest. I'm the Creator's experiencer in body and mind. This concept has given me tremendous courage to face life. The Creator wasn't going to miss anything; I was not going to miss anything. I have stretched myself beyond my wildest dreams by living in Spain a year, by traveling in India for over five years, and by publishing Houston's alternative health newspaper for several years. But my life has not always been crammed with activity, I have been able to take time to read and think and enjoy wherever I was and whatever I was doing.This opportunity to spend a year in the abundant nature of the Sam Houston National Forest in east Texas was a gift from my brother. Most of the area had been logged and ranched at one time, but undaunted Nature had spread its green tenacles to embrace the damaged landscape and regenerate it into a home for a myriad of plants and animals. The natural world is our human cradle; we couldn't exist without it. Sometimes I lie back on the grass and try to imagine what this world was like hundreds of years ago, before "white man" arrived. Natural life was abundant and safe and secure. I imagine the sky full of the millions of passenger pigeons and buffalo roaming the hillsides and wolves howling to their hearts' content. If humans would suddenly disappear off the planet, I don't think they would miss us.
I invite you to share my adventures—and misadventures—during that awe-embracing year!

Healing Point:
My Favorite Sugarless

Lose Weight Safely—slowly and surely—by changing your eating style to a healthy one. You will be amazed that when you start eating healthy foods, over time you will just gradually eat less unhealthy ones—try it yourself. There are three basic reasons to overeat: 1) Body is searching for nutrition it needs to maintain itself. Most of our foods are classified as “empty” calories—so depleted of any pretense to nutrition that many manufacturers add in artificial supplements. Think about it: How much nutrition is in a doughnut? Do you think it is really what your body wants for breakfast? What is interfering with it wants and what it gets? Solution: Eat super foods that have the nutrition you need. Amazon Herbs has an array of plants that were created to nourish all systems to maintain a sound mind and body. Recommended products: Illumination, Aquazon, Sumacazon 2) Body is addicted to carbohydrates. If you have ever done the two-week Atkins. You know what carbohydrate addition—and withdrawal—is. Eliminating fast burning sugars from your diet can be very time and energy consuming. Digesting and metabolizing of all sugars is an essential part of any weight loss program. Solution: Eat plant foods that help level out your sugar levels, so that you do not have extreme lows, which lead to sugar attacks. Take 1 Metabazon 5 minutes before each meal. Recommended products: Metabazon, Digestazon Plus 3) Body is searching for nutrition it needs to heal itself. Body is so toxic, it has lost capacity to discriminate between healthy and unhealthy foods. Many of the organs can no longer do their jobs because they are damaged and weak from overuse and abuse. Solution: Eat herbs that clean and rejuvenate the blood and organs that keep your body feeling alive and well. Recommended products: Aquazon, Fiberzon Plus A purchase of $50 gets you the "preferred price" on your first order!
