A Mother’s Journey

Share

Earlier this year, my mother had a surgery to remove a pain pump that had malfunctioned early. I am blessed to have the opportunity to go spend a week with her. What a difficult road to watch someone you love be in continual pain.  This experience brought many valuable lessons along the way. My intention for writing this is to share the process of learning to love and let go at a deeper level.

Being a natural health advocate for almost 18 years I have been blessed to work with some of the top MD’s and healers on the planet. I have seen many modalities heal a number of ailments that doctors or mainstream medicine say “this is the way it is” or “there is nothing you can do about it”.

My first big lesson, even today is to “let go and let God”. It is so hard to know what I know and watch people I love make choices that will not always get the results they want. My mom a number of years ago started having major back pain and at the time I was dating a chiropractor. A number of times we drove hours for him to work on her. She raved about how it was helping and how good she would feel afterwards….but the doctor said she needed to have  a surgery because of this his myriad of reasons.  In my experience, the spine is like our teeth, it needs continual care and love so that it will work in proper order.  It connects to EVERYTHING in our body. Our nerves and organs are affected by our spine being in proper place or being subluxated. My mom ended up having 2 back surgeries; each one (in my opinion) has left her worse and in more pain. Then over 5 years ago they put a pain pump into her stomach that administers her medication. Technology is fascinating!!!

As challenging as it is….I have to drop into my heart to alleviate judgement for our medical system and havecompassion for her pain and her deep desire to heal.   I know that watching my Mothers Journey, has given me a greater level of desire to help educate our world on the alternatives to western medicine, while at the same time an appreciation for the level of technology that we have attained in medicine.  I mean who would have thought that one day, we would be able to remotely monitor a pain pump placed inside a person.  What a Journey!!!

 

Many prayers for my mother, as her back continues to be a challenge!!

When a Man Loves a Woman – They Say its Wonderful

Share

August 11th, 2011 was the day Ari Gronich proposed to me at his parents home in Sacramento, California.  It was one of the most romantic moments I have ever experienced. His family, opened their hearts and homes instantly. We went to a musical “Annie Get Your Gun” the evening before. I sat in the middle watching and listening to Ari, his mother and father sing every song. A night I will always remember and here is one of the songs  – “They Say It’s Wonderful”

 

 

This past August 11th I forgot this special day but had a huge smile on my face as soon as Ari reminded me!!! Everyday I am reminded what it is like to be really loved and adored. I am feeling very grateful to have this experience and want to share some of the gifts I am experiencing around love and relationships.

 

I used to think it’s not possible or stay away from long distance relationship, but have found if two people really are meant to be together, they will find a way. When Ari decided he wanted to be with me and my family, he packed up his entire home of 5 years in Los Angeles and moved across the country.  He lived in California most of his life. What a risk and willingness to let go and be open to a possibility. I know there are days it’s challenging for him, as he misses his community, friends and family in California. Most of his relationships are over 10 years in memories. So often when I feel stuck in my ways of thinking or doing things….I ask “What am I willing to give up to have more love and joy?” Is it a story or belief? And when I love to this place of appreciation….I become open to letting go! Dare to LOVE 🙂

 

I wake up in the morning greeted with a huge smile, “good morning and I love you!!” A true partner that wants to bring more joy and love to not only our family but everyone we come into contact with.  Very selfless…sometime I bug him to be more selfish and put himself first!  

 

Today I get this song “When a Man Loves a Woman” in my head when I think of my relationship with Ari and his deep love.  It also reminds me and hopefully others what is possible with love!!

 

Speaking of Love!!! Master Love Coach Scott  is coming to Brevard March 16th at Aquarian Dreams and March 17th at the POD!!

The Art of Craft & Buckminster Fuller

Share

Create a written list of your deepest desires and intentions” – Buckminster Fuller

 

Yesterday was magical to watch the gifts show-up throughout the day. One of the first things we did when we got here was make a list together of what we really want to do before we left the island. Part of making dreams a reality is writing them down. 

 

Our Hawaii Honeymoon Wishlist

Go to a Luau with fire dancer

Visit and play with Brian Ridgeway, Randy Craft, Dr Nadia Linda Hole, Howard and Ena, Gary and Syd

Swim with dophins (now added Sea Turtles)

See flowing lava and volcano

Make love under a waterfall 🙂

Attend a Ceremony

Yoga and Journal everyday (personal intention)

Read the “Love Dare” together everyday

Entire day of silence, no technology or words period

 

It’s only night 5 tonight and amazing how much we have completed so far….just from writing it down!

 

One thing, when we went and picked up our rental car I visualized how nice a convertible would be to drive in Hawaii. Last night we visited Randy Craft of the Art of Craft, who so kindly let me drive his gorgeous white Mercedes convertible to dinner last night. Dream come true….sun setting with wind blowing through my hair listening to wonderful love songs. I was fortune enough to have the opportunity to work with him and will never think the same about running a business or creating what I want in life.  He spent the last four years of Buckminster Fuller’s life with him. Full of seeds of wisdom and consciousness shifting perspectives. Reminded how money is NOT the solution to focus on. It’s a complete shift in consciousness. Looking forward to sharing more about my transformational night looking at Buckminster Fuller’s Blueprint for Planetary Abundance – Seven Steps to Global Citizenship with friend and mentor, Randy Craft  www.planinparadise.com. Love sharing time with him and Ari.

 

Spent the morning together doing yoga and preparing for our journey to the Bay to see if we can play with the dolphins again!! Tonight we celebrated our 6 month wedding anniversary at a Hawaiian Luau….what a wonderful time celebrating love and all possibilities.

 

Thanks for reading and sharing!! Remember our thoughts are so powerful and we can attract and create things in an instant….so stay focused on what you want and watch your dreams come true!!

Mahalo!!

Day 22 of Juice Fast and Cleanse – Permission for Self Care

Share

Wow….yesterday I was on fire with energy and getting things done!!  Today, an hour before my Free Press Training, I started getting a headache and feverish. DETOX!!!! My wonderful husband put his healing hands on me ten minutes before the call, that was enough of a boost to get me through!!! I want to quit tonight….trying to distract my mind. Started watching a movie and all I can think about is popcorn.

 

Thank goodness we have a refrigerator full of juices and set for a few days! Keeps me in the game for another day or two! Got a few new recipes from my Veronica Andrew of Eating with Love.  She decided to join us and fasted for 7 days this past week and now she is doing a strict Raw Foods Diet and continues enemas for deep healing!!! Love that she is an expert in detoxing and healing with food!!! Great to have someone to share our funny stories with. 

 

One is her power drinks in the morning

4 Tablespoons of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar

Water

Cayenne pepper 

Fresh squeezed lemon juice

 

Yummy….and a great way to balance the bodies PH. 

 

I have waves of guilt around not being productive or focused…..all self imposed negative thinking. I am noticing how I base  some of my worth on what I accomplish. Two years ago I did a lot of work with Dr. Gary Null at his Lifestyle Modification Retreat around my workaholism and lack of self care, and it is still coming up! Anyone else have challenges with finding balance? Are you okay with just taking time off and doing nothing? Balance in relationships, family, health, work and spiritually!! 

 

This entire fast I have not given myself permission to take a nap!!! Naps are key in healing and helpful with fasting. I have a dear friend, Cynthia Segal  that takes daily 10 minute cat naps and wakes up like she had slept for hours!! Maybe tomorrow I will get a nap in 🙂 

 

Special thanks to my dearest husband Ari Gronich. We have been married almost 120 days and he so willingly  jumping right in on this journey! Some days I bring him juices and lots of love…other days it’s his turn, like today!!! 

 

Questions I am thinking about

What can I let go of in my life, right now?

What would my life be like if I drink green juices everyday?

Where do I resist to give myself permission for self care? 

 

Food for thought LOL well juice for thought!!! Gotta run…Ari is bringing me my evening cocktail of juiced sprouts, wheatgrass, goji and apple juice!!
