Well, here we are...living through the great year of 2012!

Many, many people are searching for more energy, more hope,

and an understanding of what is going on in their bodies, minds and souls as they are feeling this shift from within.

If you are feeling super tired or drained, and you don't really know why,

I encourage you to listen very closely to your body.

We can increase our energy reserves and work toward feeling energetic, enthusiastic,

postive, hopeful and all of the good things,

and, we must also learn to rest, relax, re-juvenate and restore our energy reserves.

2012 is a year of monumental importance. The earth IS shifting her vibration,

and we are also shifting our physical bodies into a higher vibrationg of Light.

This is what requires extra energy....and this is why you may be "feeling more tired".

Please do not judge yourSelf as wrong, lazy, or tired for no reason.
You can get a physical check up from the Dr., and if the results are "all good",

then it is wise for you to understand,

you are going through a physical and Spiritual shift in Consciousness,

which includes your physical body.

This year time is speeding up, which means you will need to SLOW DOWN.

It will greatly benefit you to take on less projects and commitment, not more.

If you are not healthy and strong, you will not be here to serve others and give to others.

You must first give to yourSelf. Not in a selfish way, in a loving way.

If your body is tired, sleep in the afternoon.

Two days ago I participated in some high frequency meditations,

and the following days I felt exhausted. I simply listened to my body,

and rested, slept in the afternoon, and allowed mySelf some down time.

I am fortunate because I have been guided and trained to listen to my body,

and I have learned not to "over schedule" my time.

This is the New Energy of 2012,

it is real,

and it is your responsibiity to listen to your body,

your intuition,

and follow your inner knowing.

When ytou stop being a victim,

and love yourSelf enough to stop and smell the roses,

your body will re-calibrate, and you will be Re-Energized.

Know you can do this,

the time is Now,

Be with yourSelf in Joy and Peace,

and allow your body to heal itSelf.

I hope this inspires you...to Be You, to rest when you need rest,

and to give to others, when you have the extra energy WithIn You, to give.

Remember, we cannot give, what we do not have Inside.

It's the week-end, did you schedule your rest time?

Book yourself in now, a massage, a sleep, a bath...

what is it YOU need now, to Restore Your Energy, from Within.

Go now, and enjoy a more peaceful, calm energy that will re-ignite your Heart and Soul,

which is where joy, love and energy reside.

Until next time,

Keep your Eye on the Light,

and watch Love Grow.

Your Natural and Spiritual Health Guide,

Annette

PS Remember, you are Powerful and you can change your life,

with more Grace and Ease. Listen to your body, it is the best friend to help you know what is right for you.
TAke action from love, not fear,

and these actions will bring a thriving energy for you to enjoy.

It's New Year's Day, and here is a poem that was written from inspiration, when I realized it was my turn,
to write for the 2012 edition, of a local magazine called
I love Creston, so I wanted to share it with you,
on this amazing New Day,
Enjoy, and Hurray!

_______________________________________ _

Oh the pressure of writing, although I am delighting,

2012 has arrived, oh my- how contrived!

Are we in for a ride, of the time of our lives?

Perhaps t’is the time, to your own Self BE true,

by Shining Within, you will never be blue.

A question to ponder, within and out yonder,

Who are you Becoming, and is your Soul doing the summoning?

It’s time to let go, and get on with the show!

Controlling and fighting, are no longer working.

Allowing and collaborating, are Becoming much stronger.

Embracing your life, with Heart and Soul,

saying good-bye monkey mind,

Is the new goal.

The earth has shifted, and you have been lifted.

You are different now, and Wow, oh so Gifted,

a Diamond of Sparkles, all Shiny and New!

Shine your Light, SOOO Bright,

for Now is the time, to Shine like a Diamond Mine!

We need you - now, no worry of how,

shift and Lift your Vibration, you Know how.

Away with the blame, and also the shame,

we are now playing a whole new game.

Let go and Just flow, as changes do come,

As above, so below, let’s go have some fun.

Ask for Guidance you will, then Listen and be Still,

Remember to Open, and you will Receive, were not jokin’!

Like a new baby boy,

just BE in pure Joy.

It is your birthright,

happiness, friends and good health,

It Is the New Way, of the 2012 Wealth.

Miracles are everywhere, and that includes YOU.

Do you See them and Celebrate, Oh Yay, what a day!

Synchronicity is here, be open and share,

As together we grow, into more Light and Inner Glow.

And when you feel stuck and down in the muck,

move your body with tai chi,

yoga, dance and ballet.

Out with old, move into the gold,

The old energy will transform into the shining new you.

Trust the Transformation, and the new information,

Stay grounded to earth, while living give birth,

to the you who you chose, like a blossoming rose.

It’s all energy you know, and with synergy you flow.

Emotions are power, during our golden hour,

feel it and allow it, tears, fears, laughter and joy,

the potential within, is a beautiful win-win.

We can do it better, as we thrive together.

Look within with a hum, Who Am I to Become?

The Vibration of Love, like a white feathered dove.

We all got it, we all want it, what are we going to do with it, this love?

Are YOU up for the challenge, with your braveheart and courage.

Let the New Year Begin, as we all grow WithIn,

and let’s make this, The Best Year Ever!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL, AS WE HEAR OUR HEARTS CALL.

HHHAAAAA….BEAUTIFUL!

Woo-Hoo for BEing You! Did you take a few moments to ReMember how awesome YOU are,

and that you did the very best you could, with what you had, up until this point in time?

You know how we attend "Celebrations of Life" for our loved ones when they pass on,

and all those emotions and memories come to the surface of all the GOOD TIMES we had?

Sometimes we may wish we had said "I love you" one more time,

or had one more laugh with them, dance with them or holiday with them, and yet we just feel the joy of knowing them.

Well To-Day is New Year's Eve, and while you may be full on planning "next year",

setting intentions and goals, and deciding who you want to BEcome,

I invite and encourage you to look at some pictures of this year, 2011,

and even in 2010, 2009, 2008.

Allow yourself time to See how far you have come upto TO-DAY!

CELEBRATE YOU for a few moments. Breathe in how wonderful you are,

how many people appreciate YOU, how much you have served and helped and guided and loved others,

and how much of a differance you have ALREADY MADE, in the world,

now, to-day.

Celebrate Your Life, for Your Self,

because it is Peace In, Joy In, Appreciation In, and Love Within,

that spills OUT into the world.

You are the One, and give yourSelf a GREAT BIG PAT ON THE BACK.

Do it now, close your eyes, and envision ALL THE GOOD THINGS you have received,

given and experienced in your life.

PS... To-night I am staying up for the 12:00 AM Ringing in the New Year's 2012,

after all ... 2012 is all about Being 'AWAKE"..

.(HAR-HAR...HA-HA...TEE-HEE...very dry joke I know,

Ahh....but what the heck...Happy Happy New Year's Eve anyway!)

I came across a quote to-day that resonated a truth within me,

and sharing it with you came to mind.

First I want to ask you one question...Are you feeling hopeful moving forward into 2012,

or do you feel hopeless?

Yesteday we watched a program that was talking about robot war,

and how they are developing robots,

including airplanes, vehicles, and robotic people.

Watching something like this seemed to instill fear and hopelessness in me,

not love and hope.

If you are watching these kinds of programs - (found on regular t.v.),

remember to look for programs that also share the Light and Love

that is occurring on this planet,

or you may spiral into lower vibrations that will not serve you,

or our transition and evolution that is occurring at this time.

The internet actually has a wide array of positive programs,

like the Congress of Light which was truly an uplifting experience,
and connecting here in the Braveheart Women
Community with other Braveheart sisters,
is a wonderful place to become inspired and come alive.

Okay, now onto the uplifting quote I felt inspired to share with you...

and my hope, is for you to take this message into your heart,

and really feel the power and positivity in which this message can create for you,

now,

as we move forward into 2012 and Beyond.

By Harold Whitman:

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs.

Ask yourself What makes You Come Alive,

and then, go and do that.

Because what the world needs is ....

is people who have Come Alive."

With that,

I en-courage you,

to take time,

for yourself,

to Come Alive...from within,

and greater serve the world from there.

Until next time,

Live with joy, hope, love and peace.

The busy summer season is here, and with it comes more family vacations,

friends, and relatives spending holiday time together, in the sun!

This year has turned out to be a very busy summer,

with relatives coming and going,

visiting from other parts of the country, and because it wasn't really planned,

but more spontaneous due to family health circumstances,

it has brought with it a bit of chaos, and decisions that can come with a flavor of guilt.

I'd like to share with you my personal journey and how I came to

an AHA Moment in regards to feeling gratitude...rather than guilt,

and how much this has created a beautiful sense of freedom that is new for me.

Perhaps many of you have already discovered this,

and for those of you who have not,

perhaps this will serve you and free your Spirit as it did mine.

You see, I had pre-planned months ago to attend a Braveheart Women Meet'N'Greet

wit the founder Ellie Drake here in Canada.

As family circumstances unfolded, and the day drew near,

it just so happened that my sister and her 2 children and grandchildren happened to

arrive (after a 12 hour drive),

on the night before I was to attend the Braveheart Women event in another city.

As this event was very important to me (and my soul), I stay committed to this decision,

and, also felt a wee bit of inner guilt,

having to express that I was in fact leaving the next morning.

Not only that, but another friend from far away happened to be in the area,

and she was also planing to visit me the following day.

To make a long story short, I stayed with my inner calling,

and my husband entertained my friends and family,

while I was gone to spend a week-end with my Braveheart sisters in Kelowna.
Here are my soul sisters in Kelowna
(Debby on the left, Stella my blood & Soul sister on the right).



( my mom also lives where I live, , and therefore she also enteratined and visited with tmy relatives as well..).

Driving home after the event 2 days later,

feeling inspired, fullfilled, and also remembering that bit of guilt,

I had the AHA moment.

Gratitude,

I felt so much gratitude for being able to go,

for my husband filling in for me,

and for my family understanding,

that my guilt simply disappeared!

Freedom....is the only way I can explain that feeling of releasing guilt,

and flipping the coin to the otherside,

and feeling GRATITUDE instead.

Well, that's how it was for me,

and if you have any AHA's of your own on this topic,

feel free to share.

I am so grateful to be on this journey with you,

and I encourage you to "flip the coin",

the next time old patterns of guilt appear,

and try gratitude on for size,

it worked for me, and it can work for you too!

Until next time,

Your Natural and Spiritual Soul Coach,

Annette

PS The following 3 days I spent with my sister and her family were wonderful,

my inner cup was full, and we spent quality time together that was rich and rewarding,

I encourage you to re-fill your Inner Cup, so you can share from your overflow and enjoy the ride

here on earth.

On the last blog post I wrote about- Giving and Receiving & what comes easily for you. I went into looking at how do we receive as a society, and what is receiving anyway.

To-day we are going to look at how to receive in a way that nourishes ourselves, and the giver too.!
( If you didn’t see the first post, you may want to go back and read it.)

To-day we are going to look at:
- how do we receive,
- and, is it a gift to the giver, when we are able to “take in and really receive” their gift within us.

Now this has come to me as an inner “AHA” moment,
and I can see as a society we have focused on giving, without realizing we left the benefits of actually receiving something and “taking it in….into our beings”.

To bring the gift, compliment, or offer to be helped, within us, it requires that we actually fee, the good feeling of receiving, in our bodies.

We have been taught to say “thank-you” immediately following a compliment, which is in a way, giving back to the person right away, before you could even take the time to feel what they just gave you.

Now this is a fairly new concept for me,
and it has been modeled by Ellie Drake, Jim Verghis, and a few others I have met and worked with lately.

How do you/we receive?

Here is an example.
1. When someone offers to pay for your lunch, you can simply be still for a few moments, and feel the gift you have just been given, within you. Allow yourself to take it in. Breathing in at this moment can help you receive it into your body also. That’s it, receiving is “taking it within”,
and then you can offer your verbal “thank-you”.

This taking it in, nourishes ourselves by filling us up with gratitude and appreciation, and, it also fills up the giver,
because they can see and feel you being nourished by their gift.

Sometimes if you are a a giver, it can be somewhat difficult to
simply receive- and to take in the feeling.

You see, if you are used to giving 10x more than you receive, and you are always needing to give more than you receive, then it’s possible that you haven’t really “taken in” the gift from “the giver”.

Let me say that another way.

Next time someone is giving something to you,
see if you actually “take it in”, or do you immediately think of
how you can do something to give back to them?
This can be an automatic habit, such as saying thank-you immediately, is a habit we have created, and we call it having manners.

If you give me a horse, (yes, I always dream of having another horse....ha-ha), I can immediately say thank-you to receive your gift.
The other way to receive your gift, is I will first take in the feeling of joy, feel it within me, because I love receiving a horse. Once I have received the feeling in my body, I can express this feeling by saying:
“whenever I am given a horse, I feel freedom and joy just pour out of me, because I just love horses of all kinds, thank-you.”

Now when I express how I am feeling about receiving the gift,
I am really receiving the gift, because I can feel the joy and freedom within my body in that moment.

Perhaps it is our rush, rush way of living that has reduced our ability to “receive”, or our beliefs that it is better to be a giver.
What do you think or feel about this topic, what does it bring up for you?

Do you think I’m crazy, or maybe this is old hat for you, and it’s a natural gift you already have?

What comes easier for you, giving or receiving?

I would enjoy hearing your experiences in this,
and for you to share your “AHA” moments below.

I appreciate you and the time you have spent reading this.

Enjoy the art of receiving and giving.

Your Natural and Spiritual Health Coach,

Annette

If I were to ask you, do you see yourself as a giver in life?
Or, do you see yourself as a “receiver” in your life?
Do you feel giving is an honourable quality?
What quality or feeling does receiving have for you?
Recently this awareness around “what is receiving” has been
making it’s appearance in my life.
It’s seems to be a lesson, a learning, around how I perceive receiving vs. giving.

Like a 2 sided coin, on one side giving, on the other receiving?
It’s not a 50-50 rule or game, it is simply that both giving and receiving are required for balance.

How can you give to someone, something you do not have?
Giving to others does make us feel good, and we have been brought up this way in much of our society.
Now the receiving part can actually become difficult for people who are givers.

Here are a few examples of how givers may respond to being given a compliment:

- when someone compliments your clothing, do you respond quickly with, “oh this old sweater”,
- or if someone compliments your cooking, do you respond with, “oh it was nothing”, or even a “thank-you” is a back at ya type of reply.
- or someone offers to pay for your lunch, “ oh no, it’s okay, I’ll get it.”

These are all very normal responses for most of us to-day, and as my awareness around this topic has evolved, I have noticed that we don’t really know how to receive a compliment in our bodies.

The dictionary says:
Receiving is the act of “being able to take in”, such as:

- take in the compliment and feel it within your body-ahh, that feels good.
- take in the beauty you see with your eyes of the mountains and trees, is receiving (taking in), beauty within your being.
- take in the appreciation someone has expressed to you for helping them with something- receive their appreciation of you, and feel it within your body and being.
- and to take in these feelings of joy, appreciation, & beauty, is to be able to feel it within your body, as Ellie Drake would say “luxuriate in the feeling”.
I really like that word, luxuriate, just saying it make me feel good.

Now one more question, how do you give to someone, who has difficulty in receiving?

I wonder if we need to practice and remember how to receive?

I have some wonderful insights on how to receive gracefully, graciously and joyfully, so both the giver and the receiver are able to “take in and luxuriate” in the dance of giving and receiving.
Stay tuned, the next blog post will continue with:
Is Receiving, a Gift for the Giver?

I enjoy your comments, and I invite you to share your throughts below,

I am sending you my grandest, heartfelt,
Happy Mother’s Day EVER!

http://www.braveheartwomen.com/photo-album/Annettesvibranthealth/Mother-Daughters/13000075096


To-day, as I was contemplating writing to you,
and wishing you a very happy Mother’s Day,
something came to me,
an awareness that wanted to be expressed.

As many mother’s are planning and/or waiting
to celebrate this special day WITH their families,
it came to mind that like Christmas,
some Mother’s may NOT have their children to celebrate with this week-end.

And with that possibility,
perhaps you would like to spend a few minutes in contemplating,
are there any mothers you know,
who may be alone on this mother’s day,
or who may have lost a child in this past year,
and who may be feeling other feelings than celebration,
that you could connect with?

How can we help?

A few mothers I know came to mind,
so I will be inviting them to come out with my family and I,
for our brunch,
so as to ensure they have a place to go and “be” with others.

One more group are the mothers who never gave birth to children,
but have still been mothers,
caring for others and giving of themselves.

I have an aunt who was a nun and missionary for years,
and it is my own mother who recognizes her sister,
and sends her a mother’s day card,
to acknowledge that quality within her.

We can also simply allow a moment of silence,
on Mother’s Day,
to send our love to ALL THE MOTHER’S IN THE WORLD,
including Mother Earth.
This in itself, will spread healing energy to all.

Within each Mother lives a BRAVEHEART,
and I honor you,
and the journey you have taken,
as a mother.

Enjoy your week-end,
and if you feel ready or called,
come join the Braveheart Women Community.
http://www.braveheartwomen.com
It’s free,
it’s fun,
it’s safe,
and it’s women inspiring, learning and growing together.

It’s a community of mother’s,
and I know it has been a great gift in my life,
and maybe it will be a gift …from you….to you.

Honoring all mothers in all places.

Your Natural and Spiritual Health Coach,
Annette

Sedona Family Photo - Before Crutches..

Have you ever encountered a season in your life when unexpected struggles appeared,
and then from there, you received the Blessing and felt grateful? AHA moments are wonderful, aren't they?
Maybe this example will help you remember a time
when you allowed your "bumps in life", to turn into
"blessings".

It has been almost a year that my body has been
giving me the "slow down" cue.

It began with my shoulder injury last May,
and every few months it would switch from one shoulder
to the next shoulder,
to the knee,
to a sprained ankle,
and recently,
after an amazing trip to Sedona with my family,
I sprained the OTHER ankle!
(on the last day of our holiday).

Well, I have heard of the archetype the "wounded healer",
and I suppose this could apply to my year of
challenges.

This last sprain did not heal as quickly,
and being I had to fly home,
a wheelchair was in order at the airport.

I must admit, the experience of being in a wheelchair was quite interesting.

The benefits of the wheelchair were:
- we were able to go past the line-ups,
and since I couldn't walk through
the scanner without crutches,
I was given the "hand body search",
which wasn't quite as bad as I thought.

Well, a week has passed,
and with my Miracle Oil for inflammation,
and other natural products to strengthen
ligaments and joints,
I'm sure I will be on my feet again soon.

The message that came to me in regards to all of this,
is it is my time to SLOW DOWN,
and practice my skills of meditation,
energy healing,
and LISTENING to my Inner Guidance.

Sure enough,
I have received more clarity on my "next steps",
and have chosen to "luxuriate" in the
"down time", which is allowing me to study my passion,
and stay connected to my Spiritual Source,
and Mother Earth,
while allowing me to Trust in the Process.

Well, those are my AHA moments from crutches
and wheelchair wisdom.

Has there been anything slowing you down,
and allowing you time for deeper connection?

Please share below,
I would love to know.

Your Natural and Spiritual Health Coach,

Annette

There is a saying that goes like this:

Trust in the Power that Created you!

To-day’s topic is going to blend the Heaven and Earth, Spiritual and Physical elements, because the time is now for the Shifting into a new gear, a new reality.

In an earlier blog post,
I discussed how Mother Earth was
actually ME. (you, us).

We are intricately connected,
and it would benefit all of us to keep this in the forefront of our minds.
Planet Earth is a reflection of us, and we are a reflection of her. If you didn’t have a chance to read that article, or you’ve forgotten, here is an excerpt:

“NOW is the time for us to really appreciate the
abundance that Mother Earth provides for us.

Without the air, water, food and all of her plants and animals,
we the human race could not survive.

For your health sake,
it is time to remember,
that everything you put into the water,
into the air,
and onto the earth,
including pesticides, herbicides,
and artificial fertilizers,
you are putting INTO YOU.”

Exactly 2 months after I wrote the above article on Mother Nature
and you, Japan experienced the earthquake, tsunami,
and all the after effects of the disaster.

Please, before you feel despair, hopelessness or fear,
I encourage you to instead, look for hope, faith, and also
TRUST IN THE POWER of Love.

There has been many stories coming from Japan,
of how everyone is helping each other out,
giving water if they have water,
and sharing the resources they have.

There are 2 sides to every coin,
and we can choose to look at, or feel, one side or the other.

For example, we can choose:
Fear or Love,
Despair or Joy,
Hope or Hopelessness.
We are being called to remember who we really are.

Remember your passion for life,
remember your purpose in life,
remember to feel the good feelings like joy and happiness too.

When Mother Earth shakes and quakes,
is it a call for us to Remember our Soul,
our Light within us,
and also the Divine Source of all good things?

We cannot ignore the calling anymore.

What if you could dig deep and be inspired?

What if you found a passion within you that you had completely forgotten?

What if you feel that inner YES,
I CAN be the change in the world,
right now, starting to-day?

How does that feel?

You can make a difference, when you say YES,
and follow your passion,
open your heart, call on your Divine Guidance.

It is time to nurture, respect and honor Mother Earth and ALL of her inhabitants.

The plants, the original plants known as weeds,
are here to strengthen you,
right now in this time of the vibrational shift, here on earth.

We don’t need anymore chemicals,
we simply need to re-connect,
with Earth Energy,
with Divine Energy,
and with each other.

Are you upto the challenge?

Are YOU BEING shaken on the inside too?

If you are a mother, remember the process of pregnancy and birth?

At first it’s exciting and new,
and then as you grow so big you can’t tie your shoes,
you can’t sleep comfortably, and the whole process becomes UNCOMFORTABLE?

At this point, there is no turning back, right?
What did you call upon then, in those last moments of pregnancy, just before the new experience of “ giving birth” took place?

Did you Trust the Process?

It seems this may be a great example of what we are all being asked to do now.
To Trust in the Process.
Yes we are uncomfortable seeing the world shift around us,
yes we may feel powerless,
but we are NOT powerless.

We are powerful co-creators,
and just like delivering a baby,
we need to have faith, get prepared, stay positive,
and TRUST IN THE POWER OF YOU, and YOUR SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE.

Ask for help, and be open to receive.

After asking for help,
remember to slow down long enough to “hear the answer”,
and then take action on that inner knowing.

Miracles are alive and well to-day.
What miracles are occurring in your life?

I invite you to pay attention and receive your gifts of passion,
purpose and peace.

Spread your passion,
your inspiration, and let’s enjoy the ride,
to a happier world for all of us to share respectfully.

Someone out there needs you,
your gift,
and your light to shine the way.

Happy Earth Day,
to Mother Earth,
to our plants,
our animals,
our bugs,
our water,
our air,
and to helping to restore her balance,
so together we can live harmoniously,
healthy and gratefully,
here on planet earth.

What gift are you giving to Mother Earth to-day,
or on any day?

Please post it below,
we all want to know, your thoughts and ideas.

Your Natural and Spiritual Health Coach,

Annette

Sensitive souls, Indigos, emotional girls, hyper boys,
these are all words we use to describe how some
people FEEL on the inside,
and also how on-lookers observe or
perceive these people to BE, on the OUTSIDE.

If you are in a hurry, there is a free webinar
next week - "Help for Indigo Children, Youth & Sensitive Souls"
with myself and Remi Thivierge,
to attend and find out more, go here:

http://tinyurl.com/4pjwgzq

We live in changing times,
Mother Earth is trembling from the Inside-Out,
and each of us is connected to that energy,
it is part of us too.

Many children and parents are also trembling,
from the Inside-Out,
some more than others simply due to their own personal
constitution or inner being,
and the time has come where it cannot be ignored.

These sensitive children and parents,
are here for a reason, and,
the old saying: "suck it up buttercup" .... has to go!

If you have a family member that is a sensitive soul,
or an Indigo, which is one name to describe it,
you will know that your children are more sensitive,
by all of their reactions to life, to people, and to how
they behave when there is negativity around them.

A large portion of youth and children to-day,
who are "sensitive souls or indigos",
are labelled negatively because they "do not fit into the norm".

They may have a little more (or alot more) difficulty at school,
with friends, and even at home.
But on the inside,
they have a heart filled with passion,
they have eyes that sparkle,
and YOU can SEE their soft souls underneath their
outer shell.

It's time for parents to stand up for the children,
and for themselves.

If you feel stuck, or unsure,
or have questions and need help, support or
are open to new ways to parent,
you are invited to a special free call with expert
Remi Thivierge.

Come by and listen to some out of the box,
real life ways that can help you,
and your family,
create more harmony,
and more connections of peace,
within your family.

Bring your questions, or go and submit them now
in the "question submission box", which is found

Well spring is on it's way,
and we know that for certain when the animals begin to have their babies.

To-day is the first day of Spring Break for us, so we took a trip to a friends farm to see her new baby lambs.

To our surprise, there was also newborn
rabbits, ducks, a pregnant cow,
and roosters crowing too.

I wanted to share this Fun on the Farm with you

If you don't have the opportunity to visit a farm, this may be the next best thing to inspire you.

Share this with your children,
and,
bring back the kid in YOU!

It sure brought back the kid in me.

Unfortunately my camera ran out of room; so no videos of the rabbits, but the lambs are simply, ADORABLE.

Come along to the farm with me and my children, Austin and Kyle,

I am sending you directly to my Annettes Health Action Youtube Channel so you can quickly and easily view these fun on the farm videos, and, so you can join us in the sights and sounds of "The Farm".
There are 3 parts to this video sequence.

And Please,

I"d love to hear from you.

When was the last time you held a baby lamb?

If you haven't, would you ever like to?
Ask you children or grandchildren,
what do they have to say?

Until next time,
keep your eye out for newly born animals, 'tis the season!

Your Natural and Spiritual Health coach,

Annette

PS Would you like to see more of these videos?

Well to-day is my lucky day. Dr. Mercola and Yahoo Health

are discussing Your Eyes and what they have to say to you!

This has “lit my fire”, and so keep reading if you want to

hear 3 differant experts talk about Your Eyes, and how

they can Benefit Your Health.

Here is the start of Dr. Mercola’s Newsletter to-day,

which is titled; “How Your Eyes Can Precict Disease”,

now this IS NOT what Iridology does..as you will see further along

in this….. oh so fun, ….educational journey-enjoy the ride.

__________________________________

Dr. Mercola begins his newsletter including Yahoo Health’s Article here:

“Your eyes are a unique window into health.

Yahoo Health has assembled a list of 14 things your eyes can tell you about your entire body. Here are some of them:

A stye that won’t go away

If it doesn’t clear up in three months, or keeps recurring in the same location, it could be a rare cancer called sebaceous gland carcinoma.

Burning eyes, blurry vision while using a computer

This is the result of “computer vision syndrome” (CVS). The eyestrain is partly caused by the lack of contrast on a computer screen, and the extra work involved in focusing on pixels.

A small blind spot in your vision, with shimmering lights or a wavy line

A migraine aura produces this disturbed vision. It may or may not be accompanied by a headache.

Whites of the eye turned yellowish

This is known as jaundice. It appears in either newborns with immature liver function, or adults with problems of the liver, gallbladder, or bile ducts.

Eyes that seem to bulge

The most common cause of protruding eyes is hyperthyroidism, which is overactivity of the thyroid gland.

Sudden double vision, dim vision, or loss of vision

These are the visual warning signs of stroke.

Blurred vision in a diabetic

Diabetics are at increased risk for several eye problems, but the most common is diabetic retinopathy, in which diabetes affects the circulatory system of the eye. It’s the leading cause of blindness in American adults.

For the rest of the list, click on the link below.

Yahoo Health February 3, 2011
_______________________________________ _

Now for Dr. Mercola’s Comments on the above Yahoo Health article:


Your eyesight is one of your most precious senses but it’s easy to take the gift of sight for granted, until it starts to fail. Unfortunately, one of the leading causes of blindness in American adults is a side effect of diabetes. This is disconcerting when you consider that today, nearly 1 in 4 Americans are either pre-diabetic or diabetic.

The increased use of computers and video display terminals (VDTs) at home and work has also led to an increase in vision problems due to eye strain.

Is Poor Vision Inevitable as You Age?
No, it’s not.

But our modern lifestyles can contribute to poor vision if you’re not careful. Fortunately, there are many actions you can take to support your eye health. Studies show people over age 60 may need even more support in the form of well-chosen nutritional supplements. You may also need additional vision support if:


You smoke
You’re obese
You’re diabetic
You spend a lot of time staring at a computer
Below, I’ll review a number of protective strategies, including nutritional support, but first, can your eyes really tell you something about your overall state of health?

Iridology—Your Eyes as the Mirrors of Your Health?
The Yahoo Health article above brings up several interesting correlations between your eyes and your overall health by hinting at potential underlying health problems. Iridology, or iridodiagnosis, which is the study of the iris of your eye, is yet another technique in that same vein, used by some alternative health practitioners.

This theory goes back to the mid-17th Century, but iridology has yet to be recognized by mainstream medicine. In fact, the majority of medical professionals scoff at the idea.

The basic theory behind this technique is that various characteristics, such as patterns and colors, in specific zones of your iris can provide information about your systemic health. This is done by carefully examining your iris and matching it to iris charts. Using these charts, an iridologist can help identify systems and organs in your body that may be inflamed, or over- or underactive. It cannot, however, diagnose specific diseases—all it can do, at best, is give an indication of your systemic strengths or weaknesses.

Still, this information may be helpful under some circumstances.

Keep in mind however, that iridology practitioners are not legally required to be licensed or certified in the US or Canada, so if you decide to give it a try, I’d recommend you locate an iridologist who is also a licensed medical practitioner.

How Your Eyes Can Predict Disease

_________________________________

Okay fellow health seekers,

here comes the comments of….Annettes Health Action!

First of all I am so grateful Dr. Mercola has given

Iridology the lime light of his article to-day, and Yahoo Health too.

Being an Iridologist for over 10 years,

I am still amazed at it’s amazing benefits in improving health naturally,

and also I am just as amazed at how the benefits of this Science of Iridology is under valued and under used in our society.

Education + Action is the key to Transformation.

These 2 articles by Yahoo Health and Dr. Mercola are excellant in bringing to light the awareness of how valueable your eyes are,

and the amazing answers they have for you, just waiting to be discovered.

I feel inspired to comment on the 2 comments by Dr. Mercola.

1. Iridology cannot diagnose disease- and then he recommends,

2. You find an Iridologist who is a Medical Practitioner.

First of all, Iridology indeed does not diagnose disease.

In summary, Iridology is the Science of analyzing the iris of the eye and can show:

- inherant weaknesses

- inflammation

-toxic settlements

- body constitution.

These answers found within your eyes are designed to guide you in a pro-active way of improving your health, by replenishing the nutrients that are deficient, and cleansing out the toxins so your body can “repair and heal itself”.

The most important key here is that which Dr. Bernard Jensen

the Father of Iridology taught us which is:

“Nutrition is the the Twin to Iridology”.

All of the Iridologists I know are educated deeply in the field of “natural health”,

including herbalsim,

whole food nutrition,

cleansing,

fitness, and more.

Therefore my suggestion for anyone looking for an Iridologist

would be to ask the Iridologist questions about their training in these

natural health practices.

Iridology is all about healing with nature. When looking for any health

practitioner, it is also important to ask yourself how you “feel” with

that person, and do you feel you can “trust” them. Only you can

be the judge of who you want to partner with, in creating vibrant health.

Naturopathic Dr.’s often use Iridology, and Iridology is simply

a way to see into the body, and find out what is going on in there,

that is specific to YOU.

The real Art of Iridology come in translating that information,

understanding nature and it’s relation to the human body,

and also partnering with the client and understanding

their specific needs and circumstances.

Therefore if you cannot find a Medical practitioner who

uses Iridology,

do not be afraid to seek and find a qualified,

heart-centered, passionate and educated

Iridologist. There are many professional Iridologists

to choose from all over the world,

and you’ll know after spending one or two hours with an Iridologist,

whether this form of guidance is right for you,

and, if this specific Iridologist is right for you.

After all, we are all simply individuals and we resonate and

connect with people and health practitioners on an individual level.

I became an Herbalist first, and then an Iridologist.

Herbalism and Whole Food Nutrition takes time to learn,

while Iridology is actually quite easy,

simply like reading a map.

In closing, your eyes do hold the answers to many of your health challenges, so if you are curious to know more,

respond to this blog.

If there is enough interest from you,

I will create a teleclass to answer your questions,

and teach you more about this fascinating and

useful Science called Iridology.

Thanks for being here,

and remember,

post your comments and questions below.

Your Natural and Spiritual Health Coach,

Annette

PS Remember, Iridology is only one piece of the pie,

and it requires the other pieces of Nutrition and understanding

the body’ healing process, before it becomes really valueable.

PSS Comment below if you want to know more,

and post your questions for me to answer-your body can heal itself,

when given the opportunity…why not start now?

LOVE, GRATITUDE AND THE HEART…

This month is dedicated to “heart health”, and I felt inspired to

to share all of the reasons WHY I LOVE WYNNDEL,

and the Creston Valley which is where I live.

It is well known that Love and Gratitude is good for your health,

and the more we appreciate and feel grateful for what we have,

the more things we will have to be grateful for, and the more love we will feel in our hearts.

I often think about all the people, places and things I love

about where I live, and to-day it’s time to share the LOVE.

It is my intention to inspire you to join in the fun,

and indulge in the wonderful feeling of being grateful for the people,

places and things YOU LOVE, in your community too.

SO HERE GOES:

- I LOVE CRESTON for the agricultural flats, and that the land is still available for “agriculture”.

My mentor Dr. Bernard Jensen used to teach, live on the hillsides, grow food in the valleys, and that is what we are doing here…and I LOVE THAT.

- I LOVE CRESTON for the stores being closed at night,

so that everyone has time for “family and fun”.



- I LOVE CRESTON for the local farmers, prairie farmers and all of

the land loving locals.

- I LOVE CRESTON for the wildlife center, and all the birds and bugs, and frogs that live there.

- I REALLY LOVE CRESTON for the deer, elk, fox, wild turkeys,

coyotes, cougars, caribou, and amazing wildlife we are privileged

to live with.

- I LOVE CRESTON for it’s mom and pop shops and restaurants.

neighbours serving us everything from local Buffalo soup, to homemade bread and pasta.

- I LOVE CRESTON FOR THE FOOD, peaches, apples, grapes,

carrots, beets, and turnips..you name it we grow it…Hurrah!

- I LOVE CRESTON for the fantastic fruit stands with local farmers

creating a living by doing what they love.

- I LOVE THE hay trucks hauling hay, the horse community,

the goats, cows and chickens..

- I LOVE CRESTON for our kids being able to climb a haystack and

throw down the bales to be loaded into the horse trailer (thanks Burt.).

- I LOVE THE waving to 8 out of 10 people you drive by,

and how everyone has their own “special wave”.

- I LOVE CRESTON for it’s theatre to watch movies in,

- I LOVE CRESTON for it’s artists and musicians, uplifting our Spirit through our eyes and our ears.

- I LOVE CRESTON for ALL the health choices available at our local health food stores.

- I LOVE CRESTON for the snow to play in, the lake to swim in,

the creeks to fish in, and the river to float in.

- I LOVE CRESTON for the huge old trees, the plentiful beautiful dandelions, chickweed, burdock and red clover, (just to name a few of my favourite thing…herbs!).

- I LOVE CRESTON for the grain elevators, and for being able to drive up and buy old fashioned chicken or horse feed from a local farmer, smell the smell of freshly made feed. (yes-the prairie girl in me appreciates this the most.).

- I LOVE the new pool, and especially the steam room and the “red walls” too.

- I LOVE CRESTON for the mountains, the backcountry roads,

and the surrounding, unique communities.

I think I have run out of space here, so I would love to invite you to share what “you love” about your community

Post it here, and spread the Love and Gratitude

you feel.

Let’s keep the momentum going…and most of all…

I love Creston for my perception of what is:

A SMALL TOWN WITH A REALLY …BIG… HEART!

Thanks for being here,

and thanks for sharing here.

NOTE FROM MAUREEN
"An Action of Great Love"



There has never been a human like you, not once and not ever on Planet Earth. You were born in an unprecedented manner to accommodate unprecedented times.

Your time has come to be fully activated, to fully open yourself to the pinnacle experience of being a Divine Human. Doing so, you will change the predominant nature of human beings, forevermore.

On January 1, 2011, through a two-hour series consisting of a meditation, activations, transmissions, clearings, and a sound healing, you will be made ready for an evolution of epic proportions.

Your "Yes," and your presence will be one of the greatest actions of love you can take on behalf of yourself, and all of humanity.

The living fields of energies imparted on that day, will weave in and through you, shifting and expanding you exponentially. And then, by the Law of Nature, that living field of energy will amplify and make its way inside of every other human being, and into the crystalline grid of Mother Earth.

As a result, each will be made ready to fully accept the lightening power of the descent of Pure Divine Love and Light inside the temple of their beings. Heaven will then have a pathway to come to Earth. This was always the Master Plan.

You are the great conduits by which this will occur on 1-01-11.

Please join us as an action of great love on behalf of yourself, our planet and all of humanity on the first day of the most auspicious year in human history. Maureen.
