I have to start by expressing how grateful, excited, and proud of myself I Am, for the strength I found myself exuding as I recover from what I'm going to call a 48 hour bug. I believe sickness and pain are our bodies way of communicating to us that we are doing something out of balance and harmony with nature. Whether it be consuming foods, beverages, medicines/shots, etc. that cause mucus, inflammation, and toxicity in the body or practicing poor hygiene and/or lifestyle habits; these are all major contributors to poor quality of health.

Reducing the amount of clients I accepted when I began feeling under the weather was necessary for me to get adequate rest. Starting my day with a long hot shower with a warm face towel soaked in a few of my favorite essential oils opened my senses while calming the soreness I felt in my body. Wearing warm layers of clothing to support the cold weather, and moving my body throughout the day helped. Light walking and stretching felt like enough so that I wouldn't over due it physically.

I decided to fast from eating cooked food while drinking cleansing herbal tea formulas with apple cider vinegar, and honey, plenty of water, and 100% Fruit juice. I have to admit I've never been more grateful for Minister Goldsmith and his Phenomenal juice in which I offer my clients when they schedule a hair care service online with me. When I left work Saturday evening feeling absolutely horribly I took 1 bottle of Indulgence (mango, apple, lemon, grape, pineapple) and 1 bottle of Regulator (Mangos, Apples, Lemons Infused with Sea Moss & Soursop).

I changed clothes and went straight to bed waking up several times throughout the night to eliminate via urine and blow my nose to clear out the little mucus that was there. Every time I woke up it was easy to go back to sleep so I got approximately 12 hours of good needed rest and nourishment via juice and water. Not only did I get up around 7 am Sunday, but I felt a lot better after doing #2💩😉 . I bundled up, grabbed what was left of my juice, my yoga mat, and went outside in the 42 degrees Fahrenheit morning air to stretch, practice deep breathing, and give thanks. I then completed all my chores around the house. 🧘🏽‍♀️🙏🏽

With that said this week I will not be putting to much pressure on myself to do a live broadcast at 6:00 am M-F. Being that this is a holiday week I am expecting to be busy. This Friday I will be doing a very special LIVE Broadcast.
