A Connection ~ Half Way Around the Globe

In my first post, I mention an 'Aussie Stranger' who prompted and inspired me to give this approach a chance.  I am happy to say, a stranger no more.  I went back to the original YouTube video to watch again and make sure I purchased the same books as she had shown.  I saw this link, that I had not noticed before, that said 'to email the author', or something to that extent.  So.... I did.  Not knowing if it would actually work, I emailed her to thank her and tell her that her message had indeed reached 1 person, ME. 

Tonight I received a reply to my message and am thrilled.  Missy has offered me her support and help through my adventure and am so relieved to have her guidance.   As she said, this is not always easy, in fact at times difficult, and I know that her support will be just the ticket.  In her video, she mentions that she is not a big fan of veggies and neither am I.  In fact, there is a family joke about if a food is green, Kelley won't eat it.  Just hoping I can find a combination that I like or even tolerate so that I will not stray off the path. 

Can't wait to receive the books I ordered and begin the educational process.  As a former teacher, I love to learn, but this read could be one of the most important of my life.  The most importance in the manner of impacting my life and health. 

In future posts, I will provide a better picture of what I hope to accomplish, the issues and illness I have and the impact they have had on my life.  The impact and changes that have occurred since developing these illness, both personally and professionally. 

This is going to be a long journey....with veggies in tow!  Now I have this image of boarding a plane with veggies as my carry on luggage!

Packing for the Journey ~ To Do List

We all know how important it is to pack the essentials for any type of road trip or journey.   How many bathing suits, the multiple levels of sunscreen, toothbrush, toothpaste, make up and of course shoes to match every outfit.  I have plead guilty of the charge of chronic overpacker and planner.  My items are in totes, bags and spill proof containers, all with their individual labels.  So let's pack and plan step by step to success.

Started Blog ~ done
Find and purchase Education Materials ~ done
Acid Alkaline Book ~ done
Cookbook ~ done
pH testing strips ~ done (last time I saw these were in chemistry class, many, many moons ago)
Find and purchase a Juicer ~ NOT DONE

Who knew there were so many....not me.  Reading comparisons, consumer reports and checking out the cost.  What a wide range of pricing! 

The purchase will be for another day....today is filled with pre-surgery preparation.  I can't stand not having the house clean, the laundry done and things in order before I go in.  Just makes the post-op time much more relaxing!
