Some days I wonder if mindset is EVERYTHING! 

A recent story (though I could tell you a TON) comes to mind.  Angelle and I had the opportunity to speak at the Healthy Traditions Network's Growing Connections Conference.  We knew part of the event was outside, but we didn't realize the entire event was outside ~ including US speaking.  When we did make that realization and were standing outside in our heels and short sleeve sweaters on a chilly fall morning, I needed to hit my "mindset reset button" every second!  Of course, the event was outstanding, energizing and we highly recommend it.  By the end of the day, Angelle and I were sweating in the exact same clothes!  So funny.

There's a great program I want to take one day called Mind of Steel, Heart of Gold ~ to succeed in spite of anything, AND be calm, centered and peaceful in any situation.  This can be a HARD dance to do some days, maybe all days!  I find myself struggling with the second ~ to instantly tap into the calm and centered space.  What a gift when you can do that.  The faster the better too!  That way you can avoid projecting your anger and frustration on others that happen to be "in your way".  (Kids anyone?)  I find myself getting so MUCH better at that ~ and apologizing to the person (including my children) immediately after I've done it.  What a relief for all involved. 

Practice makes perfect!  I'm celebrating another REAL food journey success.  At the Healthy Traditions Network event, Angelle and I learned how easy it is to make your own raw yogurt.  So easy, we have to do it!  Angelle forwarded me the information for Hick's Dairy ~ where we can get raw milk and get started.  Getting it all lined up now.  I'm excited to "fold" this into the mix.  Dave is completely on board, but wondered if we would be making our own cheese as well someday.  Laughing I said why?  You can buy raw cheese at Whole Foods and Trader Joes! 

Raw dairy has loads of benefits.  Like everything in the world, you need to do your research and find a source you know and trust.  Learn more from Sally Fallon about the benefits of raw milk and safety concerns of raw milk in this video.  Also see Angelle's article What About Milk?


Let us know on Facebook what new things you're folding into your REAL food journey ~ always energizing to see how others do it.

Blessings,
Dr. Sue

No need to apologize. Peak Potentials also has a course that's FREE, called the Millionaire Mind Intensive. It was the BEST course I've taken to date and is FREE. Happy learning!

Was very curious about your mention of the Mind of Steel, Heart of Gold program so I researched it. Yikes - looks like a good program for self-improvement, but the cost!! In addition, two other 5-day programs are required as prerequisites, each in the several thousand dollar range. I'm a firm believer in the power of self-improvement as a means to a better life and making a more positive and lasting change in the world (this, of course, includes parenting). With that said, I'm frustrated at feeling shut out of these opportunities due to finances. We're barely makin' it on our fixed income. It's the reality of our own life choices I know - not having pursued careers that pay 6 figures+ and not learning early on the power of budgeting and saving.

And so I lament. Forgive me.
