Allow me to introduce you to how I will be your accountability.
Goals need to be aligned with their true self by:
Purpose
The driving force that life and work meaning. What are you passionate about?
Mission
Specific actions that bring the purpose to life. How do your goals and purpose align with your purpose?
Vision
Long term aspiration. Big picture.
Values
Principals that reflect behavior, deepest beliefs. Are these aligned with your goals, purpose, mission and vision?
Journey
Just like a chiropractor adjusts to restore alignment, we can help clients adjust goals are aligned with values and purpose. Regularly reflect on these goals, purpose, mission, vision, and values. Leads to a deeper sense of well-being. Ensuring that what we are doing truly matters, and In in harmony with who we are.
My personal Goals Assessment is on my wall so I see it every morning when I wake and when I go to bed. The statement I read has the purpose, vision, mission and goal binding the three together.
“My life changed so much seven years ago it makes my head spin. Overnight, 50 percent of my diet and the foods I loved were no longer something I could enjoy. I am not alone. My story is one among thousands. Alpha-gal rocked my world! It was mind-boggling! I have had peri ‐ menopausal food sensitivities, hormone food sensitivities, and more, but nothing like this obnoxious tick-borne food allergy. It is the “weed” that the Father used to inspire this book. “Weed” is the nickname I have given alpha-gal, and other obnoxious things that get into our bodies and lives. Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), or alpha-gal (AG for short), is in its early research and did not even have a name until recently. Some people have had it misdiagnosed for twenty to forty years. I have opinions and research on it linked to Lyme coinfections dating back long ago. Its roots cannot be traced easily because it slipped in unperceived, overlooked, and unrecognized. Like a weed.”
The next few blogs will be excerpts from my only published book. I would like for it to go out to as many as needs it. It is for empowerment and hope.
I had been a complete and total captive of core emotional baggage filled over years and did not even know it had occurred. Primary Food is not on your plate. Health is Heart, Mind, Soul, Body, Balance, together.
Fear causes marked deactivation of cerebellum (back part of brain with most blood flow). Fear increases confusion.

Neurofeedback, also known as EEG biofeedback, is a fun, interactive, non-invasive, and medication-free treatment that helps you increase self-control over certain aspects of your brain function. Because of neuroplasticity—your brain’s ability to change—neurofeedback therapy can help you retrain your brain to reduce mental health symptoms, improve performance, and achieve a more balanced brain.
A very good explanation of Neurofeedback (from Amen clinic resources) is painless and safe for people of all ages and provides numerous benefits for a variety of brain health and mental health concerns. For example, because of its capacity to help people retrain their brain, individuals who have behavioral issues can experience self-control over problematic symptoms, increase their confidence, and learn to understand they can adopt healthier patterns of behaving. For those who struggle with emotional stress and anxiety, neurofeedback can help them self-regulate more effectively and respond more positively to situations that produce distressing emotions. Furthermore, it can help high achievers reach peak performance by optimizing their brain function.
In addition to these applications, there are many other conditions that can be helped by undergoing neurofeedback therapy in a professional setting. As a result, patients have reported better memory, focus, and impulse control, lower anxiety, greater mental clarity, more restful sleep, improved mood, and a host of other benefits after using neurofeedback.
Neurofeedback has been used successfully to improve symptoms in many conditions including, but not limited to:
ADD/ADHD
Addictions
Anxiety
Autism spectrum disorder
Behavioral disorders
Bipolar disorder
Chronic pain
Depression
Headaches
Memory problems
Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
Pain management
PMS
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Schizophrenia
Sleep problems
Traumatic brain injury/concussions
ADD/ADHD: A 2021 review published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine found neurofeedback therapy helped improve impulse control, behavior, and focus in kids with ADHD.
Addictions: A study by scientists at UCLA found that neurofeedback improved abstinence rates in people with addictions.
Anxiety: The results of a 2021 study on people with generalized anxiety disorder revealed that neurofeedback helped them improve their emotional regulation and significantly lowered anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Depression: Recent research published in Psychological Medicine concluded from the self-reports of participants that neurofeedback, as an adjunctive therapy, was effective in lowering depressive symptoms.
Memory Issues: A 2021 study that assessed the efficacy of neurofeedback for memory loss associated with mild cognitive impairment saw significant improvements in memory that were sustained for at least one month after treatment.
PTSD: According to the results of a research study published in NeuroImage: Clinical, participants who had PTSD underwent 15-20 weeks of neurofeedback, and at the conclusion of treatment, 61% no longer met criteria for the disorder.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI): A published overview of the use of neurofeedback for people who have suffered a TBI suggests that it may help reduce symptoms related to attention, mood, and mindfulness while improving motivation for treatment.

I struggle with expectations daily. I expect things to go a certain way, or be in a particular shape, or that people in my life will perform the way I had in my mind. Here is a quote from a faithful lady, Michelle of Faithful workouts.
“managing your expectations doesn’t mean you shouldn’t set goals or dream for your life. However, I strongly believe in setting action-based goals, rather than outcome-based ones. Here’s what I mean:
Instead of setting a goal to lose five pounds in 10 days, focus on specific actions you can control. For example, set a goal to exercise for 30 minutes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8am. Keep your added-sugars intake to under 24 grams for five days this week.
If your goal is purely outcome-driven – like losing five pounds in 10 days (expectation) – you might end up frustrated if you do everything right but only lose three pounds (reality). “
Think about these things today. Think about these things daily. Put you daily routine into a new light and perspective.
Contact me if you need help with your walk in life, health, or physical issues. WE will find your path. You will become empowered.
Change and living life. What does that mean to you? What is that supposed to mean to you? It means a slew of things for me, positive and not to positive. Let me name a few that come to my mind: system, plan, schedule, way I do things compared to my spousal unit, projects, seasons, and the list goes on. This may not make sense because your perspective and your list will be different. That is OK. I am at a point in my seasons of some big changes that are completely unrevealed to me, and it is not easy for me to handle day by day. I am, however, taking actions to complete things I have needed to finish, and talking to people everywhere I go to stay engaged, and listening for cues of what is to be some direction.
A friend gave a talk about Nehemiah had a system and is a great help in a time like this in my life. He prayed. He took action. There was sacrifice he had to make in that action. Then there is perseverance. Comfort is not always part of the deal. This is when you stop or start a behavior, or thing. “Don’t thing that you misheard the Father when the going gets tough. In every triumph there is troubles. In every gain there’s something we have to give. We have to have our expectations in the right spot so that we can keep going”.
I want this life of mine to make a difference. I am willing to sacrifice. It is uncomfortable. I hope you can keep the system of Nehemiah in mind as you make changes, keep those changes going, and move forward toward the plan made for you, not the plan you made for yourself.

Every now and then, I read through old journals and notebooks. I love to journal, and have always found it to be beneficial for my sanity. Today, I read through a mini notebook of thoughts I had while my kids were younger. I was attempting to be a better me, a better mother, and wife, than those before me. I was doing my best to find out what the Father wanted me to be. I was passionate about being the best example I could be. I was not trying to be perfect, but I was wanting to be more than just mindful. Below are the things written (things in parenthesis are my present thoughts in response to the past thought).
Confirmation to myself, With Yahweh’s guidance:
* I will not say everything I am going to do out loud, except when absolutely necessary. Examples for not are: fixing preventing, solutions, and punishment); examples of necessary are: times of going to a place, emergency, instructions.
*I will say or give instructions once, and make sure I am heard that one time. (this one made me laugh).
*I will do that which comes to mind to do, only in punishment, consequences, or solutions to problems easily fixed, and mostly without voice. (I am not sure what this was for but It meant something to me about my voice projection I am sure).
*Do not tell when I will prevent or cure a health issue. Do it only. (I believe I was getting resistance, and so I was just being proactive to avoid confrontation.
*Do not tell when I am frustrated by slow tasks, or time. Move on. Make more time. (this was a patience practice for me).
*Do not tell out loud what I should have done, could have done, etc. Move on. Do what I can. (lifelong practice LOL).
*Do not point out all of the kids’ mistakes. Provide solutions only.
*Do not condemn more than praise. Praise a lot more!
OK, so far, I see a pattern of my mouth and tongue being noticed as something I need to work on as a parent and as a wife. I can say that some of these I am still working on. Is there ever an end to our madness? I believe I have improved, but take much of our work to our grave. I will continue with more of my mini journal writing.
Keep tongue tied, mostly.
I agree to abide by the things set in this notebook.
Keep mouth shut during cycle week, making requests carefully and gently, due to higher intolerance. Double guard my tongue. Smile more during this week. (this made me laugh)
Listen to the kids. Use phrases from their words to let them know I have heard them. Make agreements that work for them and me. Make work fun. Let them know I am aware of their feelings, and if I am not aware, let them know.
Remember, we are not always responsible for the child’s behavior. Children do not have the same standards as we do. We should not be the boss, but rather the authority and teacher/facilitator. Results are ours together.
I believe I was really being molded as a mother. Have you checked yourself lately? I remember always reminding myself not to compare myself to other mothers, or even the proverbs mother. I was the mother I made myself to be. What is your perception of being a mom? Continuing the mini journal, I will finish up this article and allow the journal to speak for itself.
Love unconditionally. It seems Yahweh is the only one with the capacity to do this, yet I believe He has given us the power to have this kind of love if we desire it enough. I will learn to gain more of this kind of Love. Our ways please the Father…NO! His ways are the only ways. His way needs to become our way. Just because we are doing good, does not mean we are doing HIS ways.
Read passages on pages 1-5 again. (LOL! this is just like me…having to go over my own stuff again and again in my lifetime, and still today).
Look, see, listen. Be positive. I allow and I have a choice to be negative, OR make it positive, learn something from the brambles. Example is greater than my teaching.
Mindfulness: to remember, to mention, recount, record, put to rememberance, still, think on. Zakar in Hebrew. Psalm 8, 111:5, 115:12, Psalm 118:8 is the middle of the bible, and says, “It is better to trust in Yahweh than to put confidence in Man”.
Respect: a gift wrapped in the beautiful paper of kind words and tied with the enormous ribbon of a loving spirit. It is a pouring out of ourselves. It is an offering our husbands and kids need. It is not an easy gift to give.
Appreciate things done by someone else instead of reprimanding them for doing something out of sequence, or not “my way”. Different is not bad, just different.
Let go. Release. Guard the mind. Fill the mind. rest the mind. Exercise the mind. Be inspired by the mind. Forgive (with and without words). Show forgiveness.
One more thought to end this message from my mini journal.
Yahweh gave me a message about lemons, from a realistic and logical, health, perspective. A lemon is a cleanser. There is not anything negative about a lemon. It’s rind is the most concentrated source of vitamin C. It’s juice cleans the liver. The lemon kills bad bacteria, WAKES the senses and mind, and tones the muscles. The list for lemon positivity can keep going for pages. When sugar is added to the cleansing lemon, it becomes less able to be at its highest value. Sugar is not good for the liver in high levels, and we have to put loads of sugar into the lemon to sweeten it up. So, when you look at a lemon, see it as cleansing; squeeze the juice and pulp out, then grate the zest from the rind. The zest gives life and takes away mucus. Sugar creates mucus. Sugar coating the lemon does not make it better, it covers the potential.

Quote: David Alan Arnold: “I think it’s why you see kids doing street takeovers; I think it’s why you see people fighting so bitterly on social media, because they don’t have a challenge and a risk and a meaningful quest in their lives. So, when they see someone they disagree with on Facebook, it’s on! They fight to the death. By not having risk or taking risk, it leaves the human spirit staving.
By taking risk and adventure away from people, it’s like a poisonous thing that you do to their spirit, and that’s why they try to kill each other when someone gets cut off in traffic. That’s NOT a normal reaction. That’s a reaction to someone who has nothing to fight for in their life, and so any fight is to the death. Their whole spirit is craving a risk and a reward. I do think thats an unhealthy aspect to our very comfortable society we have today. “
Mat 13:14 “In their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says, ‘YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE;
Mat 13:15 FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES, OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM.’
Mat 13:16 “But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear.
Mat 13:17 “For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.
Do you see the health in this section of scripture? Do you see the profound independence from the habits of the common world and the habits that can be made out of pure dependence on the Creator? All the prophets said these words, and all the faithful before the prophets knew these truths; but not only did they know them, they lived them. WE need only to know what the Father tells us to do in our health walk, and when we are sick, none other.
“Sometimes, I feel that my life is a series of trapeze swings. I’m either hanging on to a trapeze bar swinging along or, for a few moments, I’m hurdling across space between the trapeze bars.
Mostly, I spend my time hanging on for dear life to the trapeze bar of the moment. It carries me along a certain steady rate of swing and I have the feeling that I’m in control. I know most of the right questions, and even some of the right answers.
But once in a while, as I’m merrily, or not so merrily, swinging along, I look ahead of me into the distance, and what do I see? I see another trapeze bar looking at me. It’s empty. And I know, in that place in me that knows, that this new bar has my name on it. It is my next step, my growth, my aliveness coming to get me. In my heart of hearts I know that for me to grow, I must release my grip on the present well-known bar to move to the new one.
Each time it happens, I hope – no, I pray – that I won’t have to grab the new one. But in my knowing place, I know that I must totally release my grasp on my old bar, and for some moments in time I must hurtle across space before I can grab the new bar.
Each time I do this I am filled with terror. It doesn’t matter that in all my previous hurdles I have always made it. Each time I am afraid I will miss, that I will be crushed on unseen rocks in the bottomless basin between the bars. But I do it anyway. I must. Perhaps this is the essence of what the mystics call faith. No guarantees, no net, no insurance, but we do it anyway because hanging on to that old bar is no longer an option. And so, for what seems to be an eternity but actually lasts a microsecond. I soar across the dark void called “the past is over, the future is not yet here.”
It’s called a transition. I have come to believe that this transition is the only place that real change occurs. I mean real change, not the pseudo-change that only lasts until the next time my old buttons get punched.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the transition zone is the only real thing, and the bars are the illusions we dream up to not notice the void. The void – it’s that scary, confusing, disorienting nowhere that must be gotten through as fast and as unconsciously as possible?
Right?
No!
With all the fear that can accompany transitions, they are still the most vibrant, growth-filled, passionate moments in our lives. And so transformation of fear may have nothing to do with making fear go away, but rather with giving ourselves permission to “hang out” in the transition zone – between the trapeze bars – allowing ourselves to dwell in the only place where change (and real growth) really occurs.
How are your anger issues related to your cervical spine? How is neck injury or stomach pains related to your emotions? How do your fears fit into your health? How is arthritis related to what is going on deep inside of you?
Sometime between the dreams of your youth and yesterday’s to-do list, something precious has been lost: your priceless.
I am ready.

I am ready to acknowledge what you do well. I am ready to empower you. I am ready to recognize your strengths and how you can use them to address your challenges. I am ready to genuinely thank you for your efforts. I am ready to talk to you about how resolving will lead you to your growth and opportunity.
I am ready to model the vulnerability and openness that I will see from you.
Are you ready?
