2. I made parsley honey wine during the week.. according to St. Hildegarde's recipe. I now sip a small glass each night.. helps the heart... so the book says.
3. wearing blue chalcedony for the nerves and a blue lace agate for my throat chakra..
4. more tests to be done next week for my thyroid but the ultrasound for a goitre was all clear [and whoever called it a goitre in the first place? what a dreadful, dreadful name]
5. eating less carbohydrates to help the heart & cholesterol level
6. a small glass of red wine is partaken of, each night with dinner. helps the heart. apparently. according to my naturopath.
7. my naturopath plucked some chicory from her garden for me to grow. she wants me to eat lots of greens.. for the heart..
8. I have planted lettuce, beetroot, onions, spinach and garlic during the week. some of which the possums enjoyed overnight.. Joe built some cages to protect the small plants...
10. I have been trying to make my liver smile. how do I do that? you ask... by visualizing my liver and then a big smile into it.. the liver must, must be joyful
13. this afternoon, I go on retreat for the weekend. looking forward to the silence. 'It is in the silence, that you know yourself'....

Peace be with you on your retreat.
Try to show your tummy at Good Samaritans and St. Benedict. Maybe that will make your liver smile.
:-)
How wonderful that you are going to follow the Oblate path! Enjoy your silent retreat this weekend. Listen for the still, small voice.

Sending (((hugs))) and prayers your way. I sure do know what stress can do to the body, and I thank you for these tips. The only thing I cannot have is the wine, but the rest of the tips will come in handy. Take care of yourself, my friend.

Shhhh, Robyn is finding her quiet bliss. How wonderful!
I hope the retreat is wonderful...
Dear Robyn,
I pray all your treatments will address the issues and you will soon be back in good health. Sitting out in the sun a few minutes will be good for your liver as well as lifting your spirits. Now parsley honey wine sounds rather interesting. My husband just made two gallons of mead ~ we have to wait a month I think before its ready to drink. Not sure if I even want to try it!
I love working with crystals too ~
I've just been given a pink opal which is supposed to bring tranquilty to your aura, something I've been in dire need of ~
I look forward to hearing more about your journey with the Oblates...
Hugs))
It's good to read that you are taking care of yourself Robyn.
Enjoy the weekend.
hugs

Wow, you are taking action on all fronts dear Robyn. Wishing you a rejuvinating retreat as you take some time out for contemplation and renewal. All the very best on your path to spiritual and physical healing and strength... sending hugs.
Try making a solar talisman ..... mine was a painting of the sun.... then charge it up in the mid day sun and put it somewhere you can see it every day ..... or wear it :) it works wonders x x x
how i love your mindful presence.
gosh what is an oblate Robyn?
interesting post... yes, we must look after ourselves, as mums we are great looking after others but not so ourselves. so its good to stop and take the time to hear what our bodies are telling us and heed the messgae which you are doing.
ps forgot to add that I have the book here the rule of st. Benedict - made very heavy reading but enjoyed learning and reading it.
I hope your weekend is wonderful. I would love to spend time in absolute silence but most of the time it's very quiet here in the forest.
Take good care of your liver. Milk thistle is very good for all liver problems..
Bless you Robyn. I know you will find your peace. Keep us posted please on your Oblate journey. xoxo
it sounds like you're doing everything right for your health. i hope you see a big improvement at your next blood test.
love,
serena xo
