Some of my favorite products are on sale.

I love Body Therapy, Calm, and Dream.

You can get early bird pricing for Black Friday now for Calm and Dream.

Dream is a gummy with 5 HTP and CBN. If you have been having trouble sleeping, you will get deep sleep. It is very effective and you can start with taking 1/4 gummy. Many people do not need a full gummy to get the benefits.

Calm is a natural tincture with hemp and herbs. You can take it day or night for anxiety or to ease your nervous system.

Body Therapy is a natural hemp salve for achy muscles and joints. It is very powerful for pain. It is non-greasy and smells great. It works fast.

Looking Back On My 15-Year Illness

When I was sick with my chronic illness for 15 years, doctors tried to give me medication after medication.

They treated the individual symptoms, not the root cause.

Or

They didn’t treat me at all.

They believed I was just depressed

or

a hypochondriac.

They didn’t know that by offering me more medication they were making me sicker.

People didn’t think I looked sick.

They only believed the doctors

and

my doctors didn’t do the right tests

so they said I was fine.

I have a hard time looking back at pictures of when I was sick, even if it was a happier occasion, like these pics of me on vacation.

I see how sick I was.

A Glimpse Into My Past

Many people love to look at old pictures when they were younger,

“The good old days…”

But I don’t like to look at pictures of myself when I was sick with my 15-year illness.

At the time, I may have been able to hide that I was sick from others who didn’t know me.

I had a lot of shame for being sick for so long.

Some of my friends on social media may never have known me when I was sick.

They may have never seen me sick.

They may think that I have always been so happy, healthy, and vibrant.

I look at this picture and I don’t recognize myself.

Everyone Wants Quick Answers

Years ago, I met a woman in Connecticut while networking. In my circle at the time, it was common for people to do trades, but my experience from the past was all trades were not always equal. Not all services were equal. Some were more expensive than others. Some required more time than others. And some practitioners were more talented and experienced than others. It would be one thing for a massage therapist to get a massage from another massage therapist, but people often traded in different industries. I had been disappointed by trades before and I decided to stop. If someone was interested in my services, they would need to pay me and if I was interested in theirs I would pay them. After all, I did need to pay my bills and I was very good at what I did.

This woman was sick and wanted to do a trade. She had heard about my work and how talented I was as a healer and intuitive and she needed help. She tried everything with doctors and she needed some answers. I told her that I didn’t do trades anymore. I was clear. I was clear with myself and I was clear with her. But even though she was very sick, it was immediately clear that she wasn’t willing to invest in my services. If I wasn’t going to trade with her, she wasn’t willing to pay.
