The Sign At The End Of The Lane

Image
We live on a little piece of country land, out in the middle of no where.... when you turn on our road, you go by a little cemetery, through an s curve, up a slight hill and you come to it.... our home. There you'll find a sign at the end of the lane.... its not a big sign, its not a fancy sign, and its really not even that good looking of a sign, but it lets people know that we are here. Here to help you feel better, here to help a friend or your family member, here to give health, hope, and wealth . Here to share, here to care. We are here to make your future better.  So, if your looking for information to work from home, want to improve your health, or just need someone to talk to.... stop on in.... Yes, that sign sets at the end of our lane as a reminder that I am here for you. How can I help you today? - Rhoda Kindred Shaklee Independent Distributor 

Carlos, Indiana - The Town That Used To Be....

Image
Every spring I drive down to a little Amish greenhouse for flowers and vegetable plants... And on the way, I drive through the little town of Carlos. I love old, rusty, used things and old buildings just speak to me!  This little town is one of those places, that on a calm and quiet day, you can almost hear the screen doors slam as each person came and went..... and invision horses and wagons driving up and down the street.... Carlos is barely a dot on the map in Randolph County, Indiana today, but at one time it was a pretty substantial town with a number of businesses and residents to call it home.  From what I have read, it used to have a school, gas station, bank, grocery store, beauty salon, creamery (aka the butter factory), skating rink, doll museum, and a post office in the back of the general store. But the thing that makes it most unique (at least to me) is this castle-like grain elevator, complete with crenellated wall.  In its time, th

Starting Over

Image
A few years ago we downsized our pasture and got rid of all our Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats, rabbits, and chickens. It was right after our sons emergency brain surgery and my three surgeries and honestly, there was just so much going on, that we just needed a break. It was so hard to see the animals go... especially my favorite little guy buckle. It's been a few years, and although theres still alot going on with my health, we felt like it was time to start fresh again.... only this time around we are keeping it simple. No cows, guineas, meat chickens to butcher, and no breeding, milking or selling goats. We are just getting enough chickens for our personal egg use, 2 wethers as pets, and one bunny as my companion animal! I put a deposit down on these two little guys last week. We have to wait a few weeks till they're old enough to leave their mommss, but I can't  wait to have baby goats again.  In the meantime, I'm gonna be cleaning and disinfecting th

A Healthy Immune System Matters Against Viruses and the Coronavirus

Image
A good, healthy immune system matters the most against viruses.... but how can you keep your body healthy?  1. Try not to stress ! When we are stressed or anxious our cortisol levels go up and that lowers our immune system, so reducing physical and mental stress will help reduce the risk of getting Coronavirus. 2. Get enough sleep. Getting that eight hours of sleep a night is huge because if we are not well rested our bodies immune system doesn't work like it should. 3. Get up and moving. Regular exercise has been shown to boost our immune system. Go outside, take a walk, breath some fresh air. 4. Load up on fruits, veggies and antioxidants. Healthy food gives our body the energy it needs to keep going every day. Put down the processed food, soda and candy. 5. Take all natural whole food supplements and vitamins to keep our immune systems the healthiest.  A strong immune system needs powerful nutrition.  LIFE SHAKE™: Healthy immune-supporting meal replac

One Room Makeover Challenge

Image
 I love decorating and making over a room... so when I heard of the One Room Makeover Challenge.... I was all in! Here's the deal.... the challenge is you have 2 days and a $200 budget... I thought our bathroom would be perfect for this. You see, some day, when we tear up all the flooring, we are planning on a big remodel/refresh for the whole house. And when that happens I have big plans for this bathroom.... a soaker tub, a see through glass shower, a real stone sink top, new vanity, flooring, closet, etc. But until then.... a little refresh will do wonders! So here's the story on this bathroom... When we bought the house 15 years ago, this bathroom was all decked out in its original 70's style.... blue and pink wall paper, blue floor, blue tub, yellowed blue marble sink and yes, a blue toilet! (Sorry about the picture quality- it was before I had a digital camara.) We got rid of just about everything.... except the ugly blue tub, always
