Hi friends!
Back in January, Wei and I shifted to a whole food plant-based diet, and of course the ever-addictive refined/processed salt, oil, and sugar, i.e., and all
junk foods had to go… eventually. By the way, the standard American diet, “SAD”, was destroying me slowly with lots of chronic pain, dementia, and our savings with expensive (pharmaceuticals).
My options were stated emphatically by a Mercy One doctor, “Pharmaceuticals or hospitalization and death – heart disease, stroke, heart attack, cancer!”
However, Wei and I opted for Hippocrates’ philosophy to let food be our medicine and medicine be our food. That’s right, I’m “healing with foods” illuminating all foods and drink that cause threats to health. It’s been a drastic! It’s been difficult! It’s been instantly rewarding and confirming!
One of the many secrets, spices, herbs, and mushrooms. These ingredients made our new meals delicious. We bought mushrooms in the beginning, and the selection was small and expensive. Now we are foragers and that’s because daughter Kati became interested in hunting mushrooms and turned us on to wild ‘rooms with “chicken of the forest”, “puff balls” … You guessed it! These ‘rooms were free and she got the benefits of a relaxing walk in nature as a bonus.

Communication
Ask Whatsoever Thou Wishest. It’s now nonth 7 of marriage. The focus now is on improving the way we communicate feelings. I tend to let it all out in a messy way and he tends to keep it in in a way that doesn’t show the struggle. Both ways aren’t so clear – and we sure do want more clarity. Lovingly. We have been learning about showing love and gratitude to God and in our own selves for any and everything that happens. “Thank you, thank you, thank you.” – Our coach, a Baha’i man named Riaz, encouraged us to read the book, The Magic (of Gratitude), by Rhonda Byrne, and learn to be grateful for everything that happened, and to find things to grateful for. Luke Slott’s recent video about ‘Abdu’l-Bahá talks about how the Master trained His mind so to find the bounties of God in everything. And Luke’s new song, “Ask Whatsoever Thou Wishest” from his album dedicated to Abdu’l-Bahá, Home of Light, helps us beg for help. for that harmony we all desire.
