My SHE-RO

by ladypbwiggins

I had all these plans to submit posts a minimum of twice a week. I had planned what I was going to cover. I was super organized. And then…

My grandson brought home a gift that he shared with everyone except his mother. It was the flu. His dad, sister, grandma (me) and grandpa fell like dominoes. The first to get better was the gift giver of course. My granddaughter had a really rough time. Her fever would break and spike to 102+ within a couple of hours. Finally she was taken to the doctor and that’s when we discovered we had the flu strand A. Didn’t really know what that meant except we were plenty sick. My husband and I took care of each other as best we could between our daughter’s visits. The worst was finally over but it has taken the adults several weeks to get completely over it. I am beginning to have energy last more than a minute.

My daughter had the task of taking care of all of us while teaching her classes, leading workshops and editing her libretto. She is my SHE-RO.

Thank you Baby Girl. ❤❤❤

Dangerous Ground

by ladypbwiggins

The President of the United States is refusing to honor a constitutionally legal subpoena as I understand it. I wonder has he thought about the repercussions of his refusal to honor the supoena?

His example is giving everyone who is ever subpoenaed the precedent to disregard it and there would be nothing the prosecution, defense attorney or judge could do about it. Thus rendering subpoenas powerless.

Now for those who think I am anti-Trump because you have assumed I am a progressive Democrat because I am black consider this scenario.

Imagine you were on trial and the person that could prove you were innocent refused to testify. A subpoena is issued. They refuse to honor it. The President didn’t so why should I? Off to jail or prison you go.

His behavior doesn’t only affect his life but all of ours. Has he considered that. Or maybe this is part of his plan. For sure, this is dangerous ground.

Congress and SC judges if you stand by and allow this to happen, you have just lost your jobs. If the executive branch is above the law or any branch is above the law, there is no need for the law or lawmakers or adjudicators. Dangerous Ground.

This is not a political issue. This is a living in this democratic republic we call the United State of America issue. Both sides of the isle need to unite to do what is right.

Right now we are standing on dangerous ground.

Fractured US

by ladypbwiggins

Last night I watched a news report on the proven influence Russia had on the 2016 Houston elections. The method was to post divisive, inflammatory information that were known hot buttons here. None of what was posted was true but it was the catalysts for angry protesters to hit the streets. My elders would say these instigators would throw the rock and hide their hands. Then just sit back and watch.

What caused them to have been so successful? US! We are fractured. That makes us prime prey for preditors.

When I was a kid I had the perception that even with all our internal problems, we would stand together against external forces. Now it seems we can’t run fast enough toward them if it promotes our hate-filled cause.

US, this is Us.

We are fractured and we need to get it together. Healing can happen if we stop believing the worst about everyone before we have gotten to know them.

US, let’s begin the healing process.

Basil Vitality to the Rescue!

by ladypbwiggins

Awww Man! I’m out of basil, dried or fresh.

In the middle of preparing vegan gumbo, I discovered I had no basil. Now before you get your pants in a twist I know you gumbo loyalists say there is no such thing. Yes we have to make substitutions but we can make our version. Please let us have that.

Now back to my story. First I was frustrated and then I remembered…. I have Basil Vitality. I have been planning to meal prep with my Young Living oils so here was my opportunity to kick start it.

I used two drops in a 2 quart pot where my vegan sausage aand vegetables lived. The aroma, awesome. The taste was good but 2 drops might be too strong for some people. Next time I’ll use 1 drop and add another if needed.

In those 2 drops were flavor and all the benefits of Young Living Essential oil Basil Vitality.

This is the solution to those cold winter months where fresh may not be so available. Or those times you just don’t have the time or desire to go to the store. Click on the basil links or the picture to order yours.

Next goal is making my homemade spaghetti sauce using the vitality oils. I might even let you share the experience.😉

It’s that Young Living Black Soil Living!

The Last Place

by ladypbwiggins

You expect to get rest.

You expect to eat a healthy meal.

You expect a choice of non-artificially sweetened drinks.

You expect natural ingredients, butter, in your grits. At least the choice.

Margarine, yuk.

It is a wonderful place for performing tests and making diagnoses.

Unmatched at prescribing and administering pharmaceuticals. There is a place and need for it.

But

Aiding your body to heal itself or getting you in the best condition to support their treatments, not so much.

It is the place you expect to receive all these things but you don’t.

Hospitals.

My Friend, Stress

by ladypbwiggins

August was a very stressful month. I didn’t know how stressful until a few days ago. But I’m getting a head of myself . Here’s the story.

Four and a half years ago my husband had a massive heart attack and our shared responsibilities became all mine and I became his primary caregiver. The stress created by all that has become so familiar that I didn’t realize I was stressed. Then August 2019 came.

Event 1 – husband began having difficulty breathing. Fluid had accumulated around his heart and lungs. His right foot was so swollen it looked like his ankles had tumors on each side. Water pills were prescribed but in the meantime there was the breathing issue. I rubbed Raven a Young Living Essential oil on his chest and put some in the diffuser. That helped but I still received interrupted sleep.

Event 2 – Trip to Alabama. I went to visit my uncle who has become debilitated. He insists on living alone to retain some independence. It was a 3 day turn around that was stress-filled. I functioned on adrenaline and caffeine. I did what I could in that short time to help him and to relieve some cconcerns my mother, his sister, had.

Event 3 – I began having chest pains. My left arm and hand began to tingle. Fear stepped up and said you are having a heart attack. I began to pray and declare that I was not. I didon’t have time to be sick. I absolutely refused and the pain worsened. Finally, I listened to my husband and ddaughter and went to urgent care who redirected me to emergency. After several test I was admitted for observation and more tests. All test were negative. My heart and lungs are healthy.The doctor told me whatever I was doing to keep doing it. I am healthy. Yes, Lord. STRESS was blamed for all my pain. The intensity crept up so I didn’t notice until it took control. I began massaging my feet at night with Peace and Calming oil and that helped me sleep.

This is how August ended. So how did September begin? With pain. I decided to exercise to begin relieving the stress. The next morning, September 2, I could not walk. Literally could not walk. So now I am fighting that pain. I need to exercise because I will not take a boat load of pills for the stress. I will continue with exercise, Stress Away essential oil and Peace & Calming Essential oil.

This is my time for ME!
