Nourishing the Mind and Body

Reflection is necessary for growth. Shall we remain doing the same things over and over and expect change. 

As our household begins the new homeschool year, I prepare as Mom/Teacher/Wife. I want to honor the Lord with my mind and body. This includes the food I nourish my body with and the knowledge I nourish my mind with. I am in charge of what goes into my children's mind and body. Thus, I have been reading "Educating the Wholehearted Child," by Clay and Sally Clarkson. I am recommending this book to all parents. 

It provides a Godly perspective on the home and the education of your children. It encourages and provides tools for parents. Those seeking to homeschool, it is an excellent book to start with. 

Parents remember, whether you homeschool or public school, You are in charge of what goes in your children. Let us take pride and responsibility in their mind and bodies. Feed them healthy organic fruits, vegetables, and grains, it is the avenue to their bodies health.

Organic Girly Supports her Local Farmer's Market! Do you?

Support Your Local Farmers Market....

Community.... Has this term been forgotten lately in society? or Are we simply ignoring the importance? Community is made up of neighbors that contribute to your local town or city. It is the ground on which live and breathe. So, why leave it as last resort?

I encourage you to find your local farmers market and get to know the farmers in your community. Know where your food comes from! There is a drastic change in health when you are aware of your foods source. You eat better, and you feel better....nothing to lose (but that extra  weight). Now, do not confuse losing weight with being healthy....This cannot be the focus to achieve great health. The motivation should be eat to live....for health. Our country has this twisted. I won’t even get into the media propaganda etc.... It just heats me up.

Anyway, supporting your local community (especially the farmers market) benefits your health. Purchase organic as much as possible. But if you cannot buy organic all the time, you want to become familiar with the dirty dozens. Purchasing from farmer’s market helps your wallet and your health. They remove the middle man (grocery stores like Walmart etc...) and go straight to the source. Organic produce becomes less expensive than store bought, and most of the organic produce(@Farmers Markets) have been picked within 72 hours. So, there is another plus. Picked within 72 hours from the source and Organic, that is a big immunity booster.

So, make it out to your local farmer’s market and support it.....

The Art of Love is a Choice

Jalene Dort Photography 

As I was driving, my thoughts began to wonder on the idea of my Jr High crush leaving me. Not leaving our 14 year relationship, but physically leaving for a great career opportunity to provide and support his family. My heart always begins to palpitate with just a thought of his absence. Pyscho? No....Truly In Love? Yes.....My heart has become  infused with his. Without a command, we move in the same motion. 

My love for poetry was sparked by him in my teenage years. He was an inspiration for me....My Muse.... So, now to bring you current on the quote that was inspired by his absence. 

“The tendency to forget the immense amount of love one has for the other half of their being becomes ignited when the grasp of their touch is absent.”--Dina Caballero 

          My passion for writing poetry about love has been reassembled in my brain and unraveled in my heart. My heart and brain must work together to create a work of art with words. Meanings that go beyond the physical aspects of life, become spiritual connections that are aided by God’s words. God’s love for us is the operation behind our oneness. He is the one that creates and displays love without blemish. He is the one that embosses it with His Holy Spirit. 

My time will not be in vain.....My husbands time will not be in vain...Although, physically we are separated, spiritually we are the same being living in a carnal existence separately. 

I pray this inspires any other writers to tap into their gift and use it... May this be encouraging for those who are married or separate. Love is a choice...So choose wisely 

From your neighborhood Organic Girly,
