Look Down

A poem by Bette J Shaw

You are real tired and want zip

You have puffy swelling and bite your lip

You have stomach troubles and can't seem to poo

Or perhaps you can't stay out of the loo

The people around you are a mess

The docs and meds one source I confess

What is going on you may say

There is a "cure" and it can start today

Just look around at what we were meant to eat

You might be surprised it grows at your feet.

It is not in a…

The day was sunny and bright, the land was circled with canopies, all ready to share their wares on Earth Day. A day of promise.

I stood beside the van, awaiting opening time, as I had long anticipated some lovely raw food. They are a cafe in our state but a long drive away. Today they brought the bus filled with goodies.

As it naturally happens, another woman was waiting for the goods. Not sure how, but almost instantly I was being asked to identify myself with a label. Drat I…

Just watching Best Of Raw Awards,  the man speaking said Wendy lost her husband.

I come here to express my love and deep sadness for her. Love, Bette

I got a package the other day, opened it quickly, ripping the tape, tearing at the paper, sorting through the white styrofoam elephant food (peanuts I mean, please dont feed them to elephants though) and got right to the good stuff.…

Ok so raise your hands here....WHO of YOU want to be dissected? Remember the science experiments in school (oh my! I cannot even believe I was there) and how ...well..you know......aw poor baby things....

Anyhow, we, as human beings don't want to be parted and pieced and observed and examined in every nook and cranty. In the medical system, albeit a failure, this is how it goes.…

Having always enjoyed whole body, whole person considerations in the presence of health conditions, I  had a wonderful experience/happening this past week.

For me, things get really to the heart of the matter when I can talk with a client on an emotional level. They are doing well on their food and feeling better and then we can talk emotions!…

Hi, Being one busy gay these days, I still take time to pop into the mansion and post something to hopefully cheer someone or inspire!

On my yahoo this morning (I dont watch tv) it said about droughts in many areas, including OK and Texas.

I was wondering if our habbers are doing ok and have not suffered any…

Although I have been drinking green smoothies and juices for years, and still do, I got clear yesterday, in my studies, how certain greens have high oxalic acid.

This affects our bone density as well as our teeth! I realized that this is the root of my teeth challenges since going raw.

Although I varied my greens, at…

Drink cool refreshing spring water

Get 30 minutes of sunshine on as much of your skin as you can

Call someone and tell them how much you love…

All this talk about cleansing America and every small town contained therein, do you share what you know with anyone who will listen? That is the way to spread the word for sure. Good for you! You go! let it shine!

If you know how to make green juice or a smoothie, you already have something to share and…

Dwelling in sheer gratitude keeps your life on a happy note. It is impossible to be anything but happy if you focus on all you are and all your life consists of. In ANY situation, one can find blessings!

Hi there......tis Monday morn and I have my two large smoothies ready to drink! I am "in office today" for a bit but will definitely get out on the trail for a run when it warms up here! I love it out there by the river!

I have a question for anyone who might have experience in this area. My kitty, when she gets bit by a flea, gets contact dermetitus (spell?). She itches herself…

Ah yes, it is a lightbulb up there....pun intended.

A lightbulb moment? Well, that is what I am waiting for! Lots of clarity and clear headed (same thing i think).

All good. Went bike riding today, only four miles but it was exquisite. Along the river with the rushing water sound and lovely fall colors. I did go too…

So we were sitting in the "office" today working on our healthy stuff we got going on.

We are pushing for updates so we were working hard and you know, when you work hard, you need food.

I was offering the "team" raw food as I had my feed bag stuck on my muzzle. Nuts, fruits, cukes, apple, carrot, you know, all good…
