Life Lessons From Your Soul - Big Fat Awesome News!!!

Beginning on April 7, 2008, I will be seen on Internet Television on my own cooking show through what is sure to be the hit website http://www.eatdrinkordie.com/. This site is a spin off from Will Ferrell's site http://www.funnyordie.com/.

I have a weekly show on wheat free, dairy free and chemical free cooking. I share recipes that I originally published in my first cookbook written over 8 years ago at my former Bed & Breakfast, Harmony Oaks in Saluda, South Carolina. I also previously taught cooking classes at Earth Fare Whole Foods Market in Columbia, South Carolina. At the B&B, we served only wheat free, dairy free and mostly organic foods. Thank you to all who experienced my cooking there. Your comments made this current opportunity possible.

But wait!!! There's more!!!! I am now launching a new website on Delicious and Healthy cooking (link coming soon) where you can purchase my new cookbook - "14 Days Wheat and Dairy Free" in which you will find breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert for 14 days along with tips on every page and shopping lists. I make it so easy for you to take the challenge of eliminating wheat and dairy for just 14 days for your health.

Also on my new website I will soon have a guide to "Eating Out While Doing Without Wheat and Dairy". When you sign up for my e-mail list, you will receive 2 special reports about how gluten and dairy could be affecting your health entitled "A Glutton for Gluten" and "Drowing in Dairy". You will also receive a monthly free recipe, tips, stories and resources to help you live a delicious and healthy life.

But don't stop reading . . . THERE'S EVEN MORE!!!!! I will also be offering coaching for your health - mind, body and spirit. If you need help navigating the world of gluten, dairy and chemical free living and the emotional and mental challenges that can befall you. I am your guide. I have been there myself having healed over a dozen illnesses in my body including severe food allergies. I can get to your core issues in less than an hour and help you heal while offering tips to heal you.

Life Lessons from Your Soul - Asking For Help

Yesterday while walking on the beach, I called a friend of mine to see if she could come out and walk with me. She had been sick with a nasty stomach flu and was staying inside. As we talked for a few moments, I thought to myself; "Offer to go to the store for her . . .". It is my nature to help people who need it. Sometimes I do this to a fault, neglecting my own needs for another. I chose to hold myself back from asking her if she needed me. I wished her well and we hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, she called me back and she asked for help. I immediately gave it to her saying I'd be happy to go to the store for her and help her in her time of need. We talked about how hard it was for her to ask for my help and I shared how hard it was for me to not automatically give it.

How is it that we have come to live in a world where asking for help is so difficult that we over analyze the situation to the point where giving and receicing have become arduous tasks? There are so many schools of thought that tell us not to be too much of something we naturally are because we might over give or ask for more than we 'deserve'. Isn't it our birthright to ask for what we need and just trust that someone in our lives will be available to provide it for us?

I was ashamed that I did not just step up to the plate and offer help. She was ashamed that she did not just step up to her plate and ask for help. We were in a lock down of helplessness in an incredibly obvious situation where providing help was so unbelievably simple in this amazingly complex city where help is rarely around the corner.

My friend and I learned a valuable life lesson yesterday. Just be yourself. If you feel compelled to offer help and you have the time to do it. Just do it. If you need help, simply ask for it and KNOW you 'deserve' it just by virtue of the fact that you are a human being in need.

Thank you my friend for showing me what I already knew. Help is always around the corner.
