If you have kids, you have probably dealt with warts. I know, I know – yuck! The worst is when your kid gets a wart on their finger, then bites their nails or puts their fingers in their mouth.
My daughter got a wart on the end of her finger and is fighting a nail biting habit, so I had to jump on this ASAP. I got on the internet and looked around for a more natural way to get rid of warts. What kept showing up as a successful way to get rid of a wart? Apple cider vinegar! I love apple cider vinegar, so many uses. So, I gave it a try.
IT WORKED!
It is no secret I am a huge probiotic fan.
If you are unfamiliar with probiotics, they are beneficial microorganisms found in certain foods, like yogurts. Probiotics not only give our immune system a boost, they also give our digestive tract some help developing healthy flora. Healthy flora promotes better digestion, as well as less gas and bloating. Bonus!
So I’ve been here for a year. What a year! I’ve shared so much, I’ve made some good friends. Come a long way.
The year in review. The condensed version.
I griped about stuff.
Swore off crappy little freebie toys. Mostly.
Got a shout out from Huffington Post blogger Liz Gumbinner of Mom-101.com (and of Cool Mom Picks) on her 2009 end of year list. I’m #45.
Back!
I have a ‘bad back’. I hate that term. It makes me sound old and decrepit. I’m neither.
When I was 27 I was crossing a busy road where traffic had stopped for a light. As I passed behind a car, it suddenly threw itself into reverse to let another car cross the intersection. I saw a bumper aimed at my knees and leaped out of the way with a twist-y motion and felt a *pop* in my back. I was never the same again. (Let this be a lesson to you all, cross at a crosswalk when you have the right of way/signal).
Today I’d like to introduce Cathryn Johnson, guest posting on the power of healing within our minds and positive attitudes.
I agree completely that healing is not just a physical process, it is a mind-body connection that needs to work in concert. I know that is what has worked best for me. I’ve had problems with my lower back since 1997 when I ruptured a disc. I rehabbed it through exercise and physical therapy, but it took a long time. My husband always had a can-do upbeat attitude, even when I would grimace with every movement in pain. I learned from him that it makes all the difference and it has carried me well through many situations.
