Primal Wisdom: Primal or Paleo on a Budget

I wanted to share with all of you my readers a great way of eating. Nothing major, no preservatives, no packaged or processed foods. Yes, everyone has access to meats, fish, poultry, fruits, vegetables & nuts. Some of us already have all of these items in our home the only thing that we have to do is be more conscientious of what we eat. Dr. Don Matesz was my Holistic Nutrition Professor at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in Tempe, AZ and his passion is for everyone in USA to go back to basics so we can stop the obesity epidemic. Here is the link to his own Blog Primal Wisdom: Primal or Paleo on a Budget I hope that you will enjoy all his words of wisdom as much as I enjoy them. Let's do something together to better our daily life. Let's start by eating right!!!!!!!!

Daily Changes

I have been trying to write down all the ups and downs that my life had taken this year, but I've never found the time or the courage to start it, so here it is.  One always live his own life thinking that it is one that is full, happy and the best that he can have and when one takes a look at it, life reminds him everything that he needs to learn and re-learn, improve or continue doing well in order to some day use the above words. 

Oh, how much learning must God have decided for me to do in order for me to be able to turn my professional life around.  I look around me and I definitely see many other people in harsher conditions compared to mine but it is still an eye opener for me.  Here I am writing a blog when I should be working out there sharing all my skills, experiences and everything that I still could offer to an employer but because of the contract that I made with the universe several months ago when I said with all my heart that "I needed a job that goes with my Spirit" and after that affirmation, I must say that it has been harder to find what I asked for.  I've tried applying to several companies but for some reason there is always a reason not to offer me the job or better yet I get the job and soon after, everything that was offered to me at the job interview seems to be dismissed (this particular one really bothers me). 

My financial matters have gone from good to bad and recently getting closer to from bad to worse (not there yet, thanks for my partner of 16 years that continues to be the bread winner of the household) but even with his help we are approaching really hard times.  My only comfort is that I will soon be graduating from my new career as a Massage Practitioner & Holistic Nutrition Specialist and I'm confident that our situation will change for the best, but in the mean time I would not lie it is pretty scary.  Every day that passes by I remind myself that when the time comes that I have better times not to forget the poor people that need of our help on a continuous basis, I really don't know if I would've gone back to school to improve my situation if my partner would've not been there for me.

Now that I have given all of you a glimpse of how my blog is going to be, my hope is that I will be able to communicate a sense of hope, motivation and self healing either by my own experiences or by those that have achieved mile stones that we can look up to for re-assurance.  This is it for today!!!! I have to get back to try to find that job.

Thanks for reading,
