As you feel the cool gentle breeze caress your face and you see leaves turn from green to orange, yellow and red then float to the ground, you begin to think about the fall season. This is the season of harvest. Stand in front of your mirror and ask your body: “What gifts will I reap from your garden of health and wellness this season?” “How can I create my own Obamacare plan?” After reaping three life-threatening chemical and auto accidents in my lifetime that drained me physically, and financially, I began to remember the garden of health and wellness shared with me by the elders of my family on Wisdom Street. (How cool is that, they do live on Wisdom Street) We did not depend on Obamacare. We very seldom went to the doctor because our elders practiced their own health care and self care using gifts from the heart, garden and home.
This natural health tradition healed me and moved me to pursue health and wellness education. I made a commitment to share “motherwit” common sense tips that you can use at home to grow your own garden of health and wellness. I wish for you a luscious harvest of lower healthcare costs, beauty, vitality, stamina and joy.
GARDEN TIP NUMBER ONE. Check the “soil” of your lifestyle and body. Do you enrich your soil with the three amendments of Refuel-Recreate-Rest? Refuel (eating fresh picked fruit and veggies), Recreate (party, fun, walking, stretching, exercise 3 times each week) and sleep (8 hours or more each night). This trinity is the “soil” that allows you to plant seeds that will reap the benefits of health and wellness. Take Care.
