Jimmy Buffett – He’s still got it!

by Deidree Lohr, posted in HealThySelfEdu

If you haven’t been to a Jimmy Buffett concert in a while it’s time to check him out again. He’s promoting his newest album “Son of a Sailer” and its terrific! The entire band as well as the back up singers were WONDERFUL and his opening act, Caroline Jones, is just wow! She has a powerhouse voice and I am thrilled to have been able to hear her now before she gets discoverd. I’m sure every seat will be sold out once she goes on tour herself. Great show Jimmy Buffett!! Fins to the left…..fins to the right!!!

Testosterone Replacement

by Deidree Lohr, posted in Vegan

So I’ve been reading a lot about balancing hormones and I learned that men need need to do the same thing…….Having low testosterone and high estrogen can cause heart disease among other things. The kind of hormone that your doctor prescribes is actually not good for you in the long run. You want your body to produce its OWN testosterone. Once you are given a hormone, your body literally quits making it. That’s no bueno! So these are two products that are all-natural that allow you to increase and balance all of your hormones naturally.

All of my food can now fit on one shelf. These are the foundation for all of my meals. Once you get it down to a science life becomes extremely simply and joyful. My kids have their food on the lower shelves and in Tupperware so that I do not see there food. Every so often I get a sweet tooth so I have to trick myself to pretend like there isn’t anything in the house. As Chef AJ says “if it’s in the house, it’s in your mouth” It’s not about willpower, it’s about your environment.

Ugh, why didn’t anyone tell me how fat I was 2 years ago??!! Ugh omg I didn’t realize until I was looking thru some old pictures and found this. Holy guacamole!!! I should call this the “on steroids/off steroids” I hated that prednisone for my rheumatoid. So grateful to have found Clint Paddison from the Paddison Program to help me change my diet and get off the prednisone!

For me, people come into our lives to teach us something. I always see the blessings in those lessons.  They are most certainly worth learning from.

When it’s over, I don’t forget all of the wonderful times, the romance, the intense love and passion.  I will hold those memeories in my heart forever.  Obviously…..they’re lovely!
The important thing is that it’s okay to let people come and go throughout our lives.
It’s exactly how it’s supposed to be…..We are all exactly where we are supposed to be.

21-Days on The Myers Way Elimination Diet!

by Deidree Lohr, posted in Random Independant Articles and Opinions

in.gredients

photoI’ve made it through 21 days on my elimination diet! Starting on February 1st, I started the The Myers Way 21-day cleanse. For the month of February I eliminated a variety of high-allergen foods from my diet, resetting my body in order to assess how I react to certain foods. That means starting today I can slowly start reintroducing these foods back into my diet.

While I’m excited about the idea of eating some chocolate and maybe a slice of bread (or two, or three…) a part of me just wants to stick with the diet I’ve been on for the past 21 days. I feel incredible. I haven’t had coffee in over a month (I weaned myself off of that early, in preparation), and I don’t feel like I need it.

I have more energy in the morning, and I’m sure I annoy my sister as I…

The Costa Rica Project

As we begin to separate the Costa Rica Project and ARDI into 2 individual, yet sister, projects, rather than feeling a split in energy, we are sensing the igniting of our team work even more.  Ever greater number of people are hearing about our work and getting involved.  We are moving out with more focus and greater momentum.  Our bonds are becoming more secure as we feel the partnership, shoulder-to-shoulder. We are responding to a High Call and we feel the importance of the work we are doing together.

We have a lot to learn from each other.  As Responsible Detoxification Specialists in Association, we have a message to bring: One of encouragement and help to each other and another to offer our beloved and the world.

702VacationRentals proving to be a better option for those that don’t want to walk through casinos to get to their hotels rooms in Vegas…..

by Deidree Lohr, posted in Vacation!

Let us take care of the details, allowing you the utmost enjoyment in renting our your home:
10 top reasons to use #702Vacationrentals:

1) Our ability to match high caliber clients  with the perfect house results in frequent return clients. These are the kind of people who fall in love with your home and love taking very good care of it!  The security deposit is CASH upfront so there is no need to worry if something happens to (God Forbid) break. Everything is via wire to prevent chargebacks.

2) We put our expertise to work for you with professional photography, advertising, marketing, and recommendations on how to maximize your home’s rental productivity.

3) Quality assurance staff, conduct thorough pre and post-visit cleanings and inspections.

4) All guests have backround checks and all pictures of ID’s etc are on file.

5) In addition to the marketing, homeowners may take advantage of our professional interior design and construction project management services. We are always happy to arrange for one of our trusted contractors or tradesmen to attend to repairs or improvements you wish to make.

6) We have high standards for the  estates we accept into our 702 family. First and foremost, they must be beautiful, special, inviting, and clean.   Views of the city are what are in demand right now and/or anything on Lake Sahara.  They are asking for something with a boat so they can cocktail after dinner every night watching the sunset.

7) Your personal belongings get locked up in the garage or closets (your preference).  The renters are instructed not to open doors/drawers at your discretion.

8) More people are turning to renting to avoid foreclosure, help finance college, or even pay for an amazing honeymoon or vacation. In fact, according to the National Association of Realtors, 27% of vacation home buyers plan to rent out the property.

9) At the same time, renters are choosing to rent personal homes over hotel rooms to save money and have a completely different type of travel experience. Renters can feel like they are part of a local community or have their entire extended family under one roof.

10) When listing with our company you can purchase an optional Property Damage Protection.  Please call us to learn more about our services, and see if your home is a match for our program.

Parents: you know your kids right? When I say “parents” I’m thinking of so many wonderful people! I could name you all, but then I just realized that my girls and I are blessed with many lovely parents in our lives and this would become an extremely long post!! 🙂 Anyway, I know my girls. It’s just us. The three of us 👉 we are a team obviously, (as all parents are with their adorables), but when you travel by car oh man can we talk?

You learn more so much more about your kids when you are cooped up together for days and days.

Guess what? Great news! #blessed #grateful #gotlucky! What did I do to deserve this?! We just got home and I’m reflecting on the last couple of days….

In general, we can all agree that this is a tricky generation (iGeneration – I that better than Generation Z). 👿 Kelsey reminds me daily of how annoying I am #helicoptermom. So, I am still learning…..Trying to let them experience things such as failure, loss, break-ups, mistakes, not being the center of the universe and understanding that they’re part of a “whole” and not “special”. I know that it’s more complicated today and we have learned to coddle our kids for VERY good reasons. I get it for sure and am grateful for the positive changes. But lets face it parents, we need to chill out on the (every kid gets a trophy just for showing up stuff) and let them discover that true inner peace comes from learning selflessness. “The sweetest joys of life, then, come only with the recognition that they certainly are not special.” David McCullough. Have you read his article in the The Swellesley Report? It’s fabulous! http://theswellesleyreport.com/2012/06/wellesley-high-grads-told-youre-not-special/
So, as we ALL recalibrate, I hope that our children’s lives’ will be more heartfelt and fulfilling as we coach them to become compassionate and giving above all else.

On a very personal note, (and the reason for this message) what mine go through every day to help me is pretty darn worthy of mentioning. I can say that now! In the beginning, I was angry and hid everything from them. I didn’t want them to see their mom in pain or struggling. I wanted to offer this image of absolute stability, strength and having all the answers. Super Mom!!! Ugh!…….Divorce does that to parents. I was wrong……again. #lovemyfate.

I didn’t want to stress them out because 90% of my physical issues are emotionally generated, (I am not accusing anyone with my same diagnoses that they caused it themselves, because we are all very different) and it’s not fair to put that on any child. My emotional stress; however, turned physical and then the physical REALLY got scary and compromised. Thats when I finally gave in and asked for help from my own innocent and beautiful children. Yes, it’s humiliating, but when you reach rock bottom, you finally realize that what doesn’t kill you gives you character and out of that comes the phoenix rising: our family bond and their sense of selflessness.

Only then, does one begin to realize that we as parents just might be doing something good by teaching them about caring for each others. Maybe it will become a part of their developing characters and help them make better choices as they mature into adults. Out of so much pain and hardship – a silver lining.

I allowed myself to finally trust that what they are going through now (to assist me) will benefit them in the future. Children are beautiful and a blessing. I simply can’t shout it out loud enough! We as parents all want to make sure that their souls are cared for and protected, understood, and loved. Isn’t that what life is all about? Sticking together as a family or reaching out to others (if you don’t have one) and building your own? Just simply not always putting yourself in the center of the universe?

I’m just so proud of my adorables! I didn’t think I would be able to travel with them anymore so I was reluctant, but they pulled me along and we made it together. They are sensitive to my needs and hopefully to others (I know they will be). They give me hope that they will radiate more fabulous people into their lives that are just like them. “Like attracts like” and their energy is beautiful. I am proud of the effects of their positive vibrations going out to the universe. We are all connected!! They helped me every step of the way AND (bonus!!) we ended up having a wonderful time!!!
