Can we change our genetics? I am living proof!



I am living proof that genetics do not have to play a major role in your health!!!



As most of you know that follow this blog I started running in June 2010 as recommended by my physician. It had to do with my genetic tendency to heart disease, stroke and increased cholesterol. No matter how much I despised running or exercising of any kind, I was able to change my genetic makeup and reverse my predisposed tendency towards heart disease, stroke, and high cholesterol. My triglycerides are finally normal, my HDL (good cholesterol) is right where it should be and my LDL (bad cholesterol) is significantly lower! How could this be?



I have increased my life expectancy and changed my genetics all by changing the way I thought and felt about exercising, eating and emotions. Whether you believe it or not you are the one that writes the story of how your health will be in your life time. We are the only ones that have the ability to get rid of the diseases and illnesses that invade our physical body. We are also the only ones that can stop those same illnesses and diseases from ever entering our bodies in the first place.

• The first way we do this is by eating the foods that are not good for us. It is up to us to only put the healthy foods into our systems. No more fast food restaurants or easy boxed, canned or processed foods.

• The second way we do this is by not exercising. Believe me I was the queen of excuses when it came to exercising. Remember I am the one that hates to sweat! I still battle with my ego every time I run but I still run and fight to push those negative thoughts out of my head.

• The third way we do this is by holding onto anger and resentment. We internalize these feelings and all they do is create disease in our bodies. Diseases like cancer! We need to learn to release these emotions and not harbor them within ourselves. This is easier said than done for some people, but it is definitely doable.

This isn't simple, but then again it can be simple. Learning to change your behaviors and actions that have been ingrained in you since birth is the hardest battle. You need to realize that it can be done. The key is that you have to want to live a healthy life; you have to want to change. There are so many people out there that are lost. They just need a little guidance. If one person can just spread this message to one friend and then they do the same, we may be able to help just one person that is willing to listen. One person that is willing to put themselves first and change the way they think, feel, and act about their health. Every time your ego kicks in and tells you that you can't do this or gives you negative thoughts, stop it dead in its tracks. You have the ability to stop those negative thoughts and turn them into something positive.



Be grateful, be thankful, be positive, be humble, be wise, and most of all be healthy!!!!

Tis the Season to be Grateful!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the USA. This is a day to give thanks, to reflect on what you are grateful for. Every day should be Thanksgiving! Try sitting down in the evening at the end of your day and list 3 things that you are grateful for. This could be difficult after a stressful day, but once you create your gratitude list you will feel the shift of your body and spirit take place.

When you sit down to enjoy your Thanksgiving meal, take a moment and give thanks. Thanks for your meal, your family, your life, whatever you can give thanks for. Carry this gratitude forward into every day. Make it a habit to give thanks. Your heart will open up, your stress will decline and you will feel lighter and happier.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Spiritual Being Living in This Physical Form.

This morning's run became quite difficult for me. My ego kept telling me to quit, that I wasn't going to be able to make 30 minutes and to make sure I stop at one mile. How frustrating is it when your own mind keeps telling you that you are a loser!


Well I didn't let this happen. I remembered that I am a spiritual being living in this physical body. It is up to my spirit to keep this body in perfect working condition while I am here in this life time in order for my spirit to full fill its duties. I kept telling my ego to push aside and let my spirit pull me through this run. Well the thirty minutes came and I ran over 3 miles. My spirit most definitely pulled me through.

I am a healer, a mother, a wife, and a registered nurse. I will heal as many people as I can, including myself while I am here on this earthly plane. I will full fill this lifetime's destiny and live a spirit full life. If you care to join me on this journey, you are more than welcome to follow :)

Are You Really 100%

 Are you 100 %? Allow yourself to be 100% in words and actions.


When we try to add something to ourselves to become better people or healers, we are really displacing our 100%. We are telling ourselves and the universe that we are less than 100%. Our ability to heal ourselves and others then cannot be functioning at 100% and our healing potential will decrease. We need to start realizing that we do not need anything to help us reach our 100%. When we bring things into the equation to help us what we are doing is introducing fear into our healing process and into our lives. Fear is part of the reason we cannot reach our 100%. With fear there is no love.

Allow yourself to step into the fullness of who you really are. You are already one with the universe. No need for fear based words or actions. Start today!
