My Valentine For you

 
I have dedicated my blog to Art, Heart, and Healing so I felt this was worthy...
My Valentine to all of you! 
One of my friends posted a link on Facebook about the importance of water in our life... after reading it I decided it was time to come clean and share what I've learned and what's been helping me and my son regain our lives... I wish someone would have shared this with me 12 years ago...
 
We just don't realize how important water is in our life and to our survival on so many different levels. Without it we die... I know some people don't hardly drink water, and others would like you to believe that this is fake or a hoax... But for me this is very true! After having a heart attack last October 4th (yes I kept it a secret from FB friends, I was embarrassed and didn't want to upset everyone's holidays) I had given up any hope of ever getting better or having any quality of life. I had continued to get sicker by the month even though I tried to hid it. My Crohn's disease was out of control. The migraines were unbearable, the rash all over my body wouldn't go away, nor did they know why or how to fix it. My meds were at an all time high and medical appointments were ruling my day. Then I was introduced to Enagic in December after praying for some sort of miracle or answers...
 
I started Drinking Kangen Alkaline Water December 1, 2012 and for the second time in 12 years I felt like I was getting my life back. I had changed my diet last January 2012 eating Dr. Joel Fuhrman's Eat to Live life style, but it wasn't enough for me. Sure I lost a lot of weight, but after the heart attack, depression and more meds, I started to gain it back.
 
Just in the past two months that I've been drinking Kangen Water I have seen incredible results... My blood pressure has dropped, inflammation markers are reduced, rash and bleeding is gone, migraines almost gone (only 1 last month), weight (dropped 10 lbs. without exercise), Energy level has doubled. Med's are decreasing daily, going from 28 med's down to 6 in less than 6 weeks. They are moving my chemo back out from 4 weeks to 6 and I'm hoping to be off the Remicade by the end of year if all keeps going as is (a girl can dream can't she...lol). This is something I never would have imagined, I was told I'd be on it for the rest of my life. For the first time in 12 years I have hope...

All I can go by are the results I'm seeing in my own body, health, and medical tests. Along with the results of my oldest son who is also drinking Kangen Water following a major surgery and stint in ICU over the holidays. For those of you who know me and my oldest son have seen our struggles and seen our life deteriorating due to having crohn's disease. It affected all aspects of our life. If I had known that the only thing we needed to change was our water intake and the type of water we were drinking, God only knows where we'd be now... But there is no better day then today to start changing or healing your life...

All I know is that I want to be around for my three amazing son's and daughter-in-laws, I want to see and meet my future grandkids grow up someday (OK, maybe I'm being presumptuous on this one and jumping the gun, again, a girl can dream...lol.) I do know that I want to experience all the things on my to-do list... I want to enjoy a life with my husband we've dreamed about... I'm not ready to quit looking for options that are right for me... to throw in the towel an die.

This is just too big of a secret not to pass along to those I cherish and love... Kangen Water is changing mine and my family's life, it can change yours too! If you want to hear more, send me an email, call or check out Kangen Quam h2o
 
And no I'm not a distributor, although after seeing how well Kangen Water has done for me and my oldest son,  my boy's  have now decided to make helping others their mission...

I encourage you to see just how Kangen works. After seeing this demo, we tried it our selves and everything worked and was the same if not better... Not only is the water good for you, it does so many other things to help you save money and eliminate the chemicals in your life.
 
Here is another video, it was life changing for me... I never realized just how I was destroying my body, intestines, and life... This video is about Dr. Hiromi Shinya
 
 Hiromi Shinya, MD is well known as the developer of the field of colonoscopic surgery (the Shinya Technique). He performed the first non-invasive colon surgery. Using his own invention of the colonoscope, he discovered the ability to both examine and operate on the colon without abdominal incision.

Dr. Shinya is Clinical Professor of Surgery at Albert Einstein Collage of Medicine and Chief of the Endoscopy Unit of Beth Israel Hospital in New York, as well as an advisor for Maeda Hospital and Hanzomon Gastrointestinal Clinic in Japan. A native of Japan, Dr. Shinya received his medical education both in Japan and in the United States.

Dr. Shinya, now past 70, continues an active daily practice of medicine, spending half of each year in New York City and the other half in Tokyo. He is Japan's most famous doctor and treats members of Japan's royal family and top government officials. His practice in the United States also includes celebrities and Presidents. He is Vice Chairman of the Japanese Medical Association in the USA, and much in demand as a speaker internationally.

The Enzyme Factor is the first book in English by this major international medical expert, is based on his Japanese bestseller How to Live Long and Never Be Sick, which has sold over two million copies since its publication in 2006. [source: Enagic®]

Dr. Shinya, recommends Kangen Water® in his books 'The Enzyme Factor' and the more recent, 'The Microbe Factor'.

"Kangen Water is alkaline rich water (ph 8-9), and is considered the very best drinking water because of its incomparable powers of hydration, detoxification, and anti-oxidation." ~Dr. Hiromi Shinya

Finding My Heart



Finding My Heart Is Easy, 

Love Is Everywhere I Look



 On a Beach...



 In the Sky...


Have you ever gone out for a walk on the beach or in the woods and notice that everywhere you look there's a heart waiting to be found?  I seem to see hearts in everything...
Maybe it's that I look for the good in every aspect of my life so seeing the hearts comes natural. 


Here's one  nestled in the rocks...


On a path...


OK... This one is more like a butterfly, but it still warms the heart...


 In the garden...


In the moss...
 
In my art room...
Here are some I've found on the beach and painted... 
Ready to be put back out into the world, 
Abandoned....


 This one was a gift from one of my dear friends,
She carried it back from her beach walk,
calling me to tell me she had found my heart...
It must weigh 15 pounds
It's 9" wide, 8" long and 7" thick.

This is my heart rock stash for my future heart rock garden...
say that three times fast...lol...
 

Some of my heart shaped sea glass I've found on the beach..


Another collection of my favorites...


One of my collage's
 and two hearts my husband found for me
He gives me one every year for my birthday...

 This was last years birthday gift, it's one of my faves...
Jade
Another I've collaged with all positive words, verses, and phrases...

Hearts are everywhere, you just have to open your eyes, 
be one with your surroundings...  
Send me your heart pictures or stories, I'd love to see or hear all about them!

 
~Enjoy~

Random Act's of Kindness By Way of .......................Love Love Love & More Love....



These past few weeks have been an energy charged emotional roller coaster filled with  bursts of love, compassion and heartfelt appreciation....  all generated by a simple gift of a Valentine...... I just wanted to share the powerful gift of love I've experienced these past few weeks since Valentine’s Day.  I also want to share my random acts of love, appreciation and kindness with my faithful readers.

As I wrote last month, Valentine's has always been very special to me. I love giving them out just as much as I love receiving them. It’s my way of letting those around me known that I love and appreciate them.  I do it for them just as much as I do it for myself. It makes me feel good knowing I put a smile in someone’s heart. That's what makes my world sing.

My cards were a huge hit this year... everyone loved them. Most said it was the first card they have received in years. Some even went as far to say it was the only card or Valentine wishes they had ever received.... This broke my heart and made me start thinking of way I could spread my love all year long.  I decided that I was going to do random acts of kindness throughout the year, making everyday special. 

I went through all my boxes of greeting cards, post cards and stationary that I've been collecting for that special moment for years... I picked out my favorites, grabbed a hot cup of chi tea, curled up in my blankets and started writing out little notes of love and friendship. Making each card unique, I addressed them: To My Friend...I wrote out as many as I could before exhausting myself as I was still not feeling well. Noticing that once I was finished I felt so much better knowing that each little note card was filled with love, compassion and my heartfelt blessings; Knowing that I would be sending love into the world to those who might not have any, or could use a little extra that particular day,....Expressing my love, appreciation, and friendship to friends I've yet to meet. I put several in my art bag, my purse, my car, and my backpack that I sometimes carry with me. I wanted to be sure that I always have some with me to hand out randomly at all times, when people least expect it, hoping to make their day as others have made my day when I've received an unexpected cards in the mail.

A couple weeks ago, after spending the week giving out Valentine's to everyone I came into contact with... I received a couple different invitations to groups of artist's on line who also wanted to send out Random Acts of Kindness...Carol at A Little Goddess In All  and Effy at  Wild Precious  had invited me to join their group of creative souls to join in on one of their RAK.... Serendipitous? I don't think so.... I believe that when we send love out into our troubled world... it generates more love and brings love right back into your life... I believe this group of ladies came into my life just when I need them.... Just like I may be coming into your life when you need me...

I believe that we are all connected by our energy... As a practitioner of The Artist's Way... the one thing we learned is that the universe is always working with us.... So when our thoughts are generating love, kindness, gratitude, generosity, and appreciation.... it will come back to you tenfold... you attract that which you project... So if you project love... love will come back to you.

If you don't believe me....walk into a room smiling...laughing...with flowers, or singing... and see how the energy of the room changes... Then just to prove my point...walk into a room and be grumpy, frowning, sad, or crying.... and feel the energy of the room follow suit. Just try it... see for yourself if you haven't experienced it... or maybe you just haven't noticed....our world is a changing place... it is in need of love, kindness, compassion, and encouragement. How will you help change our world and make it a better place to live? How will you bring love into your life?

I would love to hear about your "Random Acts of Kindness" "Pay-it-forwards" or "Loving gestures" towards others. For the next year on the last day of every month I will pick and feature one story left in my comments section that moves my heart. If your story is picked and featured, you will receive a signed original Altered Post Card Art such as the ones I've posted above and below. This will be my gift to you....  In order to enter for your opportunity to receive one of my cards... you must post your Random Act of Kindness in my comment area. I hope that I've inspired you to love and be loved. 

Love, hugs & peace to all of you... 
Each of you are special, each of you mean the world to me...
Thank you for visiting my blog, 
Thank you for sharing your thoughts,
Thank you for being in my life!
XOXOXOX





Each card is watercolor painted on one side and collage on the other, 
each is unique and an original by me. 
Enjoy
