Annette_K, Age 40, 7DW Level 1, Introduction

[Annette_K]

Hello Everyone,

I confess that this is the first online group I have ever participated in, so thank you for your patience while I tried to figure it out.

I am 40 years old and am married to a wonderful man. We have 2 children, a daughter 21 and a son age 7 (that's just how it worked out). It's been great to have a younger child at this stage of life because his enthusiam and outlook on things is contagious.

I live in Oregon and have all my life. We live only a few miles from the ocean. It does rain a lot here, but in the summer when the sun is out, it is paradise.

I have my own cleaning service. I like the flexible schedule it gives me. That way I can be home when my son gets home from school. He likes that, too.

I have had a lot of health issues my entire life. I have had 10 surgeries, a sciatic nerve injury that has been dibilitating on and off for years, and an acid reflux condition for many years as well. I also have a hiatal hernia. I have put many toxins into my body to try to feel better. None of them have worked for long.

My energy level is sporadic and I use caffine to get me through the day. My sleep gets interupted a lot. My exercise routine is hit and miss.

I came upon this web site on the search engine I was using. It seemed to be the one I was supposed to look at. So I did. I have been learning recently about the mind/body connection. This program addresses just that.

I look forward to being able to cleanse my body from much of the harmful things I have put into it. I look forward to taking better care of this God-given gift. I know He has placed within our bodies the miraculous ability to heal itself. I want to start doing everything I can to set the right "causes and conditions" to help my body do just that.

Thank you for the opportunity to be part of this group. I look forward to my future now with hope for a better life and to making new friends along the way.

Welcome to the cleansing community Annette,

I am writing from the opposite end of the country from you and agree with you about the beauty of the ocean around us.

You will come to see the real meaning of community as you walk the cleansing path with Jos-hua and all the ones that have gone on before you. I know that when I was more active on the posting board I found that I received more of a blessing. I find that as I became more committed to the community I received more benefit. You will find that this a wonderful place for help and advice so don't be bashful to ask as I am sure that someone will be more than happy to help you at any time.

God Bless,
Ed

Annette,

Glad you were brought to HPS and decided to join our community. This group is the first (and only) online group for me,too. There is a wealth of information and support that will help you as you begin the journey to better health.

[Annette_K]

Thank you for your encouragement and welcome. When starting something so completely new, it is good to know that I am not alone.

I look forward to keeping you posted.

Thanks, again.
Annette

Hello Annette,

And welcome. I too reached HPS through a search engine and felt that it was just meant to be.

You will find the people here are kind and encouraging. Never be afraid to ask. Someone will come up with the answer.

You're here because you're are ready. So relax. You'll be amazed at what your body knows.

Look forward to reading about your journey.

Love and Light...........................joy

Hi Annette,

Welcome to the group. I, too, was led to this group. It is the first time I have ever participated in an online support group, myself. It is really a good thing to do. I don't know if I would have gotten as far cleansing, if I did not have the support and encouragement of the people in this group. The advice is invaluable and the opportunity to write and express feelings has been a plus, too.

This whole cleansing experience has been so great. I have totally changed how I think about food. I use essential oils now instead of medicines. I use only cleaning products that don't have chemicals in them for cleaning and washing clothes, hair, and house.

As you begin to learn about truly good health, you will find that your learning is infectious. You will want to share what you are learning with others so that they, too, can benefit from good health.

Again, welcome to the group. You have come to the right place to make the changes necessary to reap the benefits of good health.

Love,
Tisha

Hi Joy,

I know you are right about our bodies. God has given them amazing abilites to heal.

I am looking forward to the path of healing and (I hope restoration) that I am taking.

I also look forward to hearing about yours and others' progress as you make the journey. Your testimonies are a great encouragement to me.

Thanks again,
Annette_K

Hi Tisha,

Wow, it is such a blessing to be receiving so much support from everyone. I think it is neat how people reach out to one another in this group. It really is like nothing that I have experienced.

I was thinking as I was working today, (my job is cleaning houses) that I should look into cleaning supplies that are safer for me.

And I can see that the more I learn about food and how our bodies use it, the more there is to learn. I look forward to learning from you and others in the group.

God bless,
Annette_K

Welcome Annette, I enjoyed reading how we are all first-timers for a group like this. It has taken me awhile to learn how to do it on the computer, but I assure you it is worth it. The support is amazing, the knowledge, the experience and sharing will transform your thinking about many things. The food issues, the healing, the spriitual feelings about health & our bodies and other things are all a part of this journey. You will have a good experience, I'm sure. Best to you, Your friend, Kay M

Hello Kay,

I can already see the benefits of interacting with people in the support group, and I am starting to get the hang of it.

I am learning so much. Thanks for all your support!

Your friend,
