I got out of the house today, (for pleasure), for the first time in a long while. I stopped by Barnes and Noble, grabbed a Hot Green Tea and a stack of books to look through. As I sat and sipped my tea, I found myself looking around at all the hustle and bustle that the holiday season brings. No one noticed that I was sick, no one did a double take when seeing a bald woman without a hat, wig or scarf on, as they normally do. I thought about how commercialized Christmas has become and realized for the first time in my life, I'm okay with not participating in that thought process anymore. For that, I have the illness to thank, you do find good in everything if you think about it. There's always a reason, if not for being ill, I'd still be rushing around gathering gifts for everyone on my list as I always have. This is a blessing in a way as it has had a humbling affect that I've never experienced before. I now know what it's like to be truly humble. I've like to think that I've been a humble soul, but nothing like the humbling I've recently been in touch with. I'm getting in touch with myself in a way I've not ever before in my entire 48 years of life and it feels great! I picked up 4 good reads to take home and I'm excited about digging into them. One in particular that I thought is great for us newbies to help with our quest in eliminating sugar is called 'The New Sugar Busters Shopper's Guide'. It's a #1 New York Times bestseller. It's a little 83 page page book that I know will prove to be very handy at the natural market, cost $4.99. Of course, I'll have to pick and choose to ensure I stick to the protocol until much later in my healing process. There's everything from fruits, veggies, nuts, grains, beans, dairy and so on, it even has a few pages to write your shopping list in the back. I'm truly blessed to have found this site and the wealth of knowledge others have learned along their healing journeys. I thought I'd give back a little and share my 'good feeling' experience as well. It's been a very long time since I've felt good emotionally and it really was great! Happy Holiday's to all and remember HE is the reason for the season!

Many Blessings!
