Proxacine is fantastic for anti aging and pain reducing naturally. Give it a look!

The good news is that Patty McPeak the original formulator of Rice N Shine has her own product, 24/7.

NanaCea 24/7 is essentially the same as Rice ‘n Shine except it adds Co-enzyme Q10, folic acid and Beta carotene.

Also the soy has been taken out which is good since soy isn’t healthy for you anyways.

Please read Patty’s message located on this page toward the bottom.

We took a 300 mile round trip to Holland Michigan Saturday. Holland is the Tulip Capitol of the U.S. I would think.

It was pretty neat. We went to the Dutch Village. We liked it a lot. Of course there were tulips all over like almost everywheres else in Holland. They have some nice shops and the outside had bridges, statues and play areas for kids like the giant yellow wooden shoe with a slide.

Took hundreds of pictures. Wish I could post more…

Also went to Windmill Island Gardens. They have fields of tulips in a rainbow of colors. Also smaller plots all around. A lake is nearby and a big bridge. A really large old windmill is the center piece. People were lined up to go inside.

There were several people selling stuff in tents and they dress the part of old time Holland.

It was a rally enjoyable adventure for us and we hardly realized all the exercised we were getting until we got home.

It was the first day of the tulip festival in downtown Holland so after we ate we headed there. That was a mistake. It was just too crowded.

It took us hours just to try to drive back out of there after we couldn’t find a parking place. If we go back it won’t be on opening day.

The pedestrians and drivers were both short on patience’s going though red lights and such. Even away from the city a bit, I haven’t seen such bad drivers in a long time. We had to stay on high alert being careful in case someone ranned a light, didn’t stop or just cut you off.

I’m glad we went though and discover some pointers for next time. We always enjoy it when we get a chance to go on an adventure.

Hope you had a great weekend as well.

This could be a good day to reflect on out lives and to look forward to our future. Spring is comming and new life is emerging.

Let’s begin with a positive attitude and look forward to today and the future.

When I was a very young child my dad had health problems. He had trouble breathing in Michigan’s high humidity. The doctor said he must go to a warm dry climate if he wanted to live.

 So he quit his job and bought a modest trailer. The seven of us piled into the old Plymouth. I was only six at the time and thought the car looked like a beetle.

 We headed to Arizona. The dry heat of the desert was what the doctored ordered, so away we went.

 It was an adventure even though we were very crowded inside the old car. It probably took us less than a week but it seemed like months to me.

 My parents hadn’t sold our old house in Belleville Michigan yet and didn’t save much money. They had to watch their cash flow carefully.

 After passing through many states on our trip, the clutch started to burn and the smell was bad, but it kept working. The old Plymouth seemed to know it had a job to do pulling the trailer and bringing us closer to our destination. We didn’t know what to expect.

 I was young, but I do remember my dad would always stop at grocery stores and buy bread, lunch meat and other produce. We couldn’t afford restaurants or motels. We had little money there were and seven of us.

 Once we traveled by a bread factory. The car bumped to a stop and my dad ask my older brother to go inside that bread factory and buy a loaf. We could smell the bread from where we were. The warm fragrance was a delight to our nostrils. When he came back we all had some. I remember that the bread was still warm and it was the best bread I ever tasted.

 Further in our journey we stopped at a church on Sunday for mass. The priest didn’t have an altar boy to help with the service, so my dad volunteered.

 When we traveled though Salt Lake Canyon, everyone thought it was the most beautiful sight they ever seen. We really enjoyed it until the brakes started to go.

 As we went downhill it was scary for everyone as the brakes tried their best to hold on. It was quite an adventure.

 Well that was enough for my mom. She told my dad to stop. She refused to go any further in that dangerous beetle beast!

 She grabbed me and my younger sister and told my dad that she would find a ride down to the bottom and meet him and my three brothers there.

 So somehow we hitched a ride down the steep mountain. The driver was nice, but he loved driving fast and hugging the cures all the way down as we watched the stones fly and drop down the side hoping we wouldn’t be next.

 Yes, we made it down fine as I wonder if that experience was any safer than riding down in our old Plymouth with those fading brakes.

I don’t know if my dad fixed the brakes or if the level ground made it seem so, but we continued on all together again.

 Not sure what state we were in but I thought I saw palm trees. They turned out to be date trees. We stopped. Maybe it was New Mexico or Arizona. Anyhow a Mexican boy asked us if we wanted some dates. We said sure. He jimmied up that tree in no time like a cat being chased by a dog. Then back down he came with a bag full of dates.

 They tasted so great! Sweeter than candy. I was sure everyone enjoyed them as much as I did.

 As we approached Glendale Arizona, the car’s engine seem to be sputtering and groaning. It finally stopped, refusing to carry that heavy trailer another foot. We were stranded in a strange land and didn’t know what to do or where to turn.

 There was no plan. No job waiting. Just a mad rush to Arizona and now it looked pretty bleak and desperate.

 A good man finally came to our rescue. He towed our trailer to a trailer park in Glendale. The owner of the park let us set up camp there and invited us to his place for dinner.

 I think we had Cornish hens, mashed potatoes, corn and more. What a delicious meal! I was thinking… “I never seen such small chickens before”.

 I believed we stayed there about a year before moving to Phoenix. My dad was almost deaf since he was a kid and dropped out of school young. We struggled along, living in abandoned homes without gas, electric or water. As we tried sleeping on the floor as we watched scorpions crawl about.

 My dad made us homemade pancakes on a fire out side. They were burnt but tasted pretty good anyways.

 There were many days that we went to school without breakfast or lunch. Sometimes the Nuns noticed and ask the other kids to share their lunch with me. Embarrassed? Yes. But I appreciated their kindness.

 When I didn’t have shoes during summer vacation I would run from shade spot to shade spot, so that my soles wouldn’t burn on the hot sand. The tumbleweeds would blow around as the sand blew into my eyes.

 We would walk about ten miles to church and back on Sundays. Sometimes we stopped at the soup kitchen on the way back if we were broke. The three of us, Dad, my sister and I sat across from a one-eyed man. We gladly ate the humble meal as I watched the man straight across from me. He didn’t have a patch, so all I seen was red flesh where his eye once was. I was hungry so that didn’t stop me from eating. 

Shoes flapping…

My parents must have been making a small income after a while. I had an old pair of shoes and the soles were coming loose and one shoe was actually flapping. You could see my toes peeking through. It became harder to walk and was a chore to run and play.

My dad came up to me one day and said: “Bert, I know you need a pair of shoes. I have 25 dollars here ( this was in the 60’s). I could either buy you a new pair or we could donate it to the church. What do you want me to do?” 

Well, I really wanted those shoes. I also knew what my dad wanted. He did bring us up in a religious environment. So I said: ” Dad, go ahead and give that money to the church”. After all they have helped us out several times. 

We wrapped some tape around my shoes.

So I continued to wear those shoes a while longer until St. Vincent De Paul gave me a new pair along with other things for our family.

Then something really strange happened. A few weeks later a kid was running like someone was chasing him. He ran through our yard and dropped a box on our car. We weren’t sure what happened because we didn’t see anyone in pursuit of him. 

We looked into the box and there was a new pair of shoes just my size! We couldn’t believe it. except for my dad and his faith. We couldn’t find out who they belonged to so I got to keep them. So I had two pairs of new shoes now.

 If I wouldn’t of donated that 25 dollars would I have two pairs or one?

 My father told me that story until he passed away even though I remembered it.

 I think it’s great to have faith in God. Not sure if I could let my kid walk around with shoes flapping and donate the money to church though. My mom was mad about that.

 Things did continue to get better throughout the years. We spent 6 years in Arizona and then returned to Michigan.

 I do appreciate all the little things in life now. No matter how well off we are, I will always be grateful and happy for what we have. Everyday I thank God for everything he’s given us.

Yes, we donate when we have a chance, but I think that we also need to look after our family and friends.

Then there’s the time we found a crisp one hundred dollar bill walking to church…..

That’s just a chapter out of what could fill a book, so here I stop.

Acai Berry Benefits

The sun’s shining and birds are singing. There’s even a few buds. Spring is around the corner. It’s been a long cold and snowy winter here in Michigan. I’m really looking forward to walking in the yard and parks.

Of course there will be plenty of chores to do. Maybe I can trim up and drop a few pounds.

I love Michigan, but wish that spring, summer and fall was longer. If there was a way to shorten winters that would suit me.

Can’t wait until the apple blossoms and flowers come. The ground hog loves the pears. He homesteaded right under one of the trees.

Hope everyone enjoys Spring!

Your beef may soon have another vaccine added to it. This is to prevent E. coli, which people usually recover from quickly anyways.

I wonder what long term effect this new vaccine will have on humans.  Today’s beef is far from what it used to be. It just doesn’t seem that appetizing anymore…

Check out the news story…

We all know people that go though some tough things. Maybe a health problem, money problem or even panic attacks.

We try to understand them. They may try  explaining how they feel and what’s it’s like. But how can we really know.

The mind can try to understand. Picturing how it might be. But it’s not really precise. It just can’t always get the “feeling” of it.

Sometimes if you go though the same thing as someone else then you can relate more. That’s when the heart can understand and feel where the mind couldn’t quite do it.

There are many benefits to taking the acai berry, but here’s a look at some of the best from the long list. If these don’t make you stop and at least think about adding acai to your daily diet, there might not ever be anything that will convince you. In the interest of helping you with your health, here are the best benefits to taking acai.

 Antioxidants: Anthocyanins and Flavonoids

 Anthocyanins and Flavonoids are forms of antioxidants that play a big role in fighting free radicals in your body. If you didn’t know, free radicals are what cause the deterioration of cells. Without enough antioxidants in your daily diet (of the right variety!) free radicals get out of control and speed up the process of aging considerably.

 Antioxidants are found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. It just so happens, though, that the acai berry is one of the best natural resources for the type of anthocyanins and flavonoids that the human body needs to fight and stall the process of aging.

 Energy and Vitality

 Giving your body what it needs in the form of vitamins and minerals can go a long way with giving you a boost of energy that lasts all day. If you currently rely on short bursts of energy throughout the day from coffee, soda or energy drinks, you may have noticed that you need more and more to get the same amounts of energy. Also, coming down is sometimes not so fun. This method to get energy and vitality may seem like a smart one, but in the long run you can do a lot of harm to your body.

 Taking an acai berry supplement can increase your energy the natural way, giving you a steady stream of energy throughout the day, not in short bursts that cost you $1 to $4 every time you need one. You can’t pop an acai supplement and get a quick, sudden boost of energy, but adding one to your daily diet can do a lot to increasing the amount of energy you have on a day to day basis.

Recent studies find that excess sugar can affect your brain causing memory loss and Alzheimer’s.

Too many sodas, donuts, pop tarts or whatever sugary mix you are eating, could be destroying your mind’s thinking capacity.

Studies were performed on mice and humans. Sugar fed mice gained 17% more fat and their brains showed evidence of Alzheimer’s disease more than the control mice.

The “Sugar Mice” performed worst on test and had twice the amount of plaque deposits.

There seem to be a link to diabetes as well. Although its not completely understood. But it seems that common sense says its sugar and insulin.

A Swedish study reports that humans with borderline dibetes have 70% increase risk of developing dementia.

Tight control of blood sugar may reduce Alzheimer’s risk.

The aging process seem to results from toxic reaction of free radicals. So eat your fresh produce and cut back on processed foods.

You combat free radicals with antioxidants. So give yourself a fighting chance.

So you see that its important to control your blood sugar levels. Have a check up and stop over dosing on sugar.

Many sugar substitutes are just as bad as sugar.

We do need some sugars but these are easily attain by eating a healthy diet.

Studies have shown that rising blood sugar levels target the part of the brain that concerns memory.

Now you have another reason to live healthy. To save your sanity.

BTW exercise lowers blood sugar levels. So get moving!
