My Lemonade Story

 
I remember thinking, how, at 34 years old, did I end up like this?

Constant pain throughout my body, barely able to get out of bed, my 8 and 10 year old children basically taking care of themselves…and me… while my husband worked, and being told I'd be in a wheelchair by the time I was 50.

With that diagnosis came the fearful thoughts of not being able to live LIFE with my family.
Jumping on the trampoline, riding bikes, taking vacations, dancing at my son's and daughter's weddings, helping with grandchildren, living on our dream farm.

I made a decision one morning as I lay in bed massaging Icy Hot into my hands just to be able to grip the covers to get out of bed.  
                                         
                                             I wasn't going to go down with this ship.  

THIS isn't what I wanted my life to look like.  I wasn't going to stay stuck in this place.

That decision came with desperate determination to discover what was making me so sick and how to correct it.
That decision inspired me to research, to learn, to do some off the wall things and live life differently one baby step at a time.
That decision marked the rest of my life.

During this time, my mom had an extended illness, and eventually died.  This event was the most tragic thing that I had experienced.

We were close.  Our love ran deep.  She was my biggest cheerleader.  Mom believed in me and loved me unconditionally.  Like for real.  

She was a beautiful, strong, smart, competent woman who had overcome many ugly challenges in her own life.  I look up to her as a role model of determination, hard work, overcoming challenges, and loving deeply. 

Mom always told us kids, "When life throws lemons, just make lemonade".   She was a living example of this to us so many times growing up.

Her death was a defining moment in my life in so many ways.  One of these was a renewed energy and determination to pursue my wellness to the highest possible degree.

And you know what??  I DID IT!!

I did what Mom taught me and turned life's lemons into lemonade.  I didn't let a diagnosis define me, my fears cripple me, or how I felt break me.  It wasn't easy.  The process wasn't fun.  But I made lemonade.

I now live pain and symptom free, having more energy vitality, and strength than in my 30's.

I'm way past 50 and nowhere near a wheel chair!

Our family vacations together, I danced at my daughter's and son’s weddings, I help with the grandchildren, tussle on the floor with them and carry them piggyback around the room.  My husband and I travel together, ride motorcycles with our son and new daughter (his wife:),  and now live on our dream farm where I garden, take care of the chickens, and hike the woods with my Berner, Abby.

I have made it my mission, and it is my passion, to help people all over the world make lemonade.  I help them learn, grow, and take powerful steps toward living a life of wellness, vitality, thriving, and purpose.  

I would love to help you take your life  back.  You don't have to stay stuck. Let's make lemonade!!

    The Dirt on Spring Cleaning + Products

    The Dirt on Spring Cleaning + Products
    WHAT ARE YOU CLEANING WITH?

    Ahhh! Open those windows and breathe in that fresh spring air! Spring is here, which means it’s time to start thinking about our spring cleaning checklists. There’s just something about the nice weather that brings on motivation for a fresh start. So let’s get to it! But wait, before you reach for those cleaners and get to work, let’s do a little digging into those ingredients, shall we?

    Did you know? In 2000, cleaning products were responsible for nearly 10% of all toxic exposures reported to U.S. Poison Control Centers, accounting for 206,636 calls. Of these, 120,434 exposures involved children under six who can swallow or spill cleaners stored or left open inside the home. With no federal regulations on ingredients in household products, the only way we can protect our families is to learn how to read labels ourselves.

    Let’s take a look at the top 4 ingredients to avoid and why.

    UP FIRST, AND THE BIG ONE, FRAGRANCE!
    This first ingredient is a BIG ONE, but it is in just about every household product that we use daily. Synthetic scents or “fragrances” represent an unidentified mixture of ingredients, including carcinogens, allergens, respiratory irritants, endocrine disruptors, neurotoxic chemicals, and environmental toxicants. You can find these artificial scents in all kinds of body care and cosmetic products, as well as candles, air fresheners, cleaning materials, and laundry detergents.

    Let’s talk about fragrance, or parfum or perfume or a million other names ;) This Article shares the dangers of Fragrance. "Synthetic scents or “fragrance” represent an unidentified mixture of ingredients including carcinogens, allergens, respiratory irritants, endocrine disruptors, neurotoxic chemicals, and environmental toxicants. You can find these artificial scents in all kinds of body care and cosmetic products, as well as air fresheners, cleaning materials, and laundry detergents.

    In general, there at least 3,000 ingredients that companies could use to form a product’s scent. According to the online “Transparency List” put out by the International Fragrance Association, an industry trade group. It may seem unbelievable, but the FDA does not even require fragrance and cosmetic makers to disclose exactly what they are using to scent products. If companies are using truly natural ingredients, then why be shy? Many will say that their formulas are proprietary, and they don’t want other companies copying them. The FDA website also states how the agency cannot legally require companies to warn about allergens in cosmetics like they do with food.

    Are you wondering why companies would continue to use synthetic scents if they’re so bad for our health? The answer is straightforward — they are cheaper. Synthetic scents can be extremely cheap to give everything from shampoo to lotion to candles a desirable scent. Unfortunately, just because you enjoy a scent doesn’t mean it’s good for you."

    PARABENS/PHTHALATES
    Parabens are preservatives that mimic estrogen. Found in many cosmetics & personal care items. When combined with heregulin, a growth-promoting substance normally found in breast tissue, the effects are multiplied by 100x, contributing to breast cancer, tumor growth &"moobs" (man boobs). Phthalates are a low-cost endocrine-disrupting chemical that in lab studies has shown to interfere with hormone production in rats and mimic estrogen in human studies. Found in: plastic food packaging, lotions, skin moisturizers, fragrance, cleaners, glues, and nail polish.

    SLS - SODIUM LAUREL SULFATE
    This chemical is used to de-grease car engines. It is also added to some toothpaste, soaps, detergent, skin products... it's in just about everything. It damages the kidneys/liver, teeth, endocrine system, causes hair loss, cataracts, ulcers, major toxicity, headaches, nausea, coughing, congestion, and more.

    TRICLOSAN
    An antibacterial agent registered as a pesticide by the EPA. Topical absorption has shown disturbances to the endocrine system and is believed to lead to birth defects and uncontrollable cell growth. Found in: soaps, deodorants, cosmetics, shave gel, first aid spray, kitchenware, and toys.

    While there are many, many other ingredients that you will want to know about, these are my "TOP OFFENDERS." As you go further on this low tox living journey, you will learn about so many more. Remember, "Rome Wasn't Built In A Day," and your journey of learning is just that, a journey.
