I am not a minimalist, but I want to be.  I want to not be addicted to stuff, I would LOVE to not have a shopping problem.  I am very intrigued by the minimalist lifestyle and have found that once I started getting rid of my “stuff” something amazing happened.  I just felt…happier.  I know…

I grew up with God being there to pray to, but that is about it. Since the trials I have faced, I found out that God is WAY different than what I grew up understanding Him to be. The Bible says He doesn’t look at appearance.. or what you have done.. He looks at the…

Breaking a fast properly is crucial to avoid digestive discomfort and ensure a smooth transition back to regular eating. I found out that if you don’t do this, it’s like taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back.  Your body can go into shock if you don’t ease back into eating food properly.  The main…

I know how I feel when things are neat, tidy, and clean.  I also know how I feel when they aren’t.  I discovered something recently by the Clutterbug youtuber that I need to share because I think it will help someone else who just can’t keep up with household chores, is a working mom, and…

Let’s be real, I love my STUFF, but is it our stuff that makes me truly happy?  I will tell you that being a minimalist helps you realize what truly is important to you.  It also makes cleaning and straight up picking up the house WAY more enjoyable and not such a constant and yucky…

There are always so many studies on men and fasting, but there isn’t much about women.  They did notice that when women started fasting like men do there were negative side effects like hair loss, rashes, and anxiety.  It wasn’t until people dived deeper to understand that a couple things play a HUGE role in…

I have dabbled with fasting for spiritual reasons, and I remember reading in books stories of people who have had literal miracles happen to their bodies after prolonged fasts. Tumors disappearing, life-long ailments being cured, and so on and so forth. My mom was really afraid I had an eating disorder, but NOW science is…

I am creating this, mainly so I can remember this information for my next dog (if we ever get another since my husband likes to travel), and to help people have well behaved dogs by sharing what is helping me the most.   I want a well behaved dog, and I’m assuming because you clicked on this article…
