WOW!!! Isn’t this weather just glorious? Hope everyone’s
May was a blast. I am going to apologize to those who did not receive the May issue of the
Healing House however, those who already know I am completing my 2 year course with CSSN this
summer and have my first deadline the end of June, the last being August so, needless to say
I am just a little overwhelmed. What I have found that even though I am experiencing such
stresses, as studying, running a business, kids soccer, keeping house and pets, I am forever
in gratitude. Before learning about Nutrition and other divine secrets, such as law of
attraction a time such as just mentioned that may have occurred to me in the past would
have left me paralyzed with fear, anxiety, and depression. Now that is replaced with
excitement 95% and slight anxiousness 5%. Before it was the exact opposite. Anyhow, to
further share with all the importance of good nutrition I am enclosing a recipe and some springtime
foods, that you may want to try or better yet give me some feedback on any other foods you find helpful with your nutritional needs.
OK, Exciting stuff Happening!!!
