HE shines through our darkness!

 

 

Steve Green is still my favorite male singer decades after I first heard him! 

 

 Perhaps the wonder of this song may only be fully grasped on minus 20+ degrees BELOW zero nights after freezing one's hands milking the family dairy cow???

 

Anyway, the message of this song is that we don't have to have our lives "Together" before we come to God!  Instead, through the piecing together of our messed up lives, GOD is glorified!  In our brokenness, HE shines in true beauty and oneness.

 

I pray that you will be as blessed as I was by this song tonight!  I hope and pray that it will warm your heart through and through!

 

Love to all!

Dawn

Not wasted time

Andrew is back and I am so happy.  We had our typical head banging last night as we have often rubbed each other the wrong way.  We were both tired, though, and this morning things went much better as we started to get used to being together again. 

I think the main trouble is that Andrew is STRONGLY left brained and I am STRONGLY right brained.  I'm sure that's why God put us together under the same roof--so that we can cover each other's weaknesses.  It doesn't always work out that way, though, as I'm sure is true in your household too. 

This morning Andrew and I talked about money and he said that he refused the $50 a day that Jared offered him.  He said that he also refused to take anything for his expenses as Jared is down quite a bit himself.  If anyone feels led to help pay Jared for his professional services, I'm sure that they'd still take donations at: southdakotaforliberty.org.

The thing that we need to remember is that God has a reason for everything.  Just think of the friendships that have been formed by fellow Ron Paul supporters across the country.  Still, I was a little discouraged about the email that Ron Paul wrote to me last night stating that he now knows that he won't get the nomination with the current loses.  Still, he said, much has been done to wake up the masses.

Then I watched this video and I shook myself free from the doll drums.  My goodness, look at how the people listen to Ron Paul.  Look how many people love the freedom message!!!  Look how many people came out to show support for conservative values; for bringing home the troops; for cutting government spending and getting them out of our lives.  Just LOOK at the people!

Dawn for freedom

Freedom anyone?

How much are we going to take before we say, "Down with tyranny?"

 Please help by praying for the Ron Paul campaign. 

Please help by donating either to the main Ron Paul campaign or the one that my son is working in.  This is a grass-roots effort in South Dakota to get Ron Paul elected as President of the United States.  Here's the link to donate: http://www.southdakotaforliberty.com/

 Lastly,  PLEASE volunteer your time to call folks or go door to door if you live in the Sioux Falls area.  If you know of anyone in the Sioux Falls area, you can help by sending them to the site.

 We ALL have to work together to stop this power grab by Big Brother.  Oh yes, if you haven't read George Orwell's, "1987", that's another thing that you can do to help your country.  I read it in High School and it has motivated me to speak the truth in love ever since.  We MUST speak out against tyranny while WE THE PEOPLE still can!!!!!!!!!!!

Go, Andrew, go!  Go, everyone, GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  STOP THE TYRANNY!

Too gloomy

I find myself too gloomy to write about my trip this morning.  Andrew just left for 10 days to help take South Dakota for Ron Paul and Cora just left for baby sitting for the day--AND the weather is morbidly gloomy.  Is it any wonder, then, that I was drawn to Andrew's blog where I found this video.

 Last Sabbath, when Cora and I were playing piano duets, we decided to ask Andrew to video us as I've been wanting to share out piano duets here. Of course, we chose one of his favorite songs, "Be Thou my Vision" to bless Andrew as he patiently listened when he had many other things on his mind.

How I miss my Andrew today!!!  I rejoice, though, that he loves God deeply and is obeying God's call on his life. I rejoice even more that "Be Thou my Vision" IS one of Andrew's favorite songs, for it assures me that my son has his eyes on the one who made him--the one who loves him even more than I do.

Please, dear Lord, keep Andrew safe and please bring him back to us victorious!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Amen?

Dawn

Happy High Sabbath

I hope that you will celebrate with me today, folks, that God has given us a weekly day of rest AND the feasts.  Although we don't do much about the feasts here, I dream of having a group to get together with who can teach us HOW to keep the feasts.  This was not in either Robert's or my background and so it seems insurmountable to learn how to do them alone.  Please, God, send us some feast keepers to lead us down the path of celebrating the way that YOU do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the meantime, here is the next part of the great GOP, "Run over the patriots" drama from last weekend. I checked and there are 2 more parts after this one in case you were wondering.  My goal in sharing all of this is to get any sleeping patriots to wake up and join the revolution.

Q.  What are we rebelling against? 

A.  TYRANNY IN HIGH PLACES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  .

Shabbot shalom,

Dawn

PS.  Please go over to Cora's blog to see what Fox News had to say about all of this.

Permission

Good morning everyone,

  Praise God--I am FINALLY gaining on this bug!  I started gargling with warm salt water yesterday, as one of my clients had suggested, and it helped SO much!  I also bought THE best probiotic that Terry's had yesterday. 

I can't ever recall asking for THE best anything and then actually buying it--how could I ever think that I deserved it????  My friend, Renee, spent a few minutes going over all of the available probiotics.  She said, "80% of our immune system depends on the gut having adequate probiotics.  Everyone should take ONE of these a day and our nation's health would improve dramatically."  I decided to take her advice, as the probiotic that I'm currently taking doesn't seem to be doing all that much, so I started this morning.  Can you believe that I'm spending a dollar a day on probiotics??  OH MY!

Here is the next section of the national delegate selection at the GOP last weekend in Bismarck.  Notice how he says, "We've given you our permission long enough."  It's like they OWN the party and we, as little children to their parents, must have their permission to ask for a fair election process!!! 

This kind of control has gone on long enough!  If you are getting tired of having no affect in the legislative process, then I urge you to get involved earlier in the process and help pick true patriots to represent you. 

When the Patriots are 51% of the party, THEN we will make things fair for all.  I don't care if Romney gets 20% of the votes at the national convention, as that's roughly what he got in the caucus.  However, I must ask you to ponder why he should have 90% of the votes when Santorum won 40% of the votes and Ron Paul roughly 30%.  Is this fair?  Should a few people at the top of the North Dakota GOP decide who will go to the national convention and cast their votes for the next President???????????????????

Please listen to this whole event and then get involved in the process so that we have the numbers to turn things around in 2 years.  Like Cora says, the revolution began with Ron Paul running for President and it just keeps growing.  Praise God that HE has given us our rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.  These are given to us by GOD--what right does the North Dakota Republican committee have to take them away?

TO THE WORK,

Dawn

Not good enough

Hi again,

  Here is part 2 of why we couldn't have a fair election this past weekend.  Oh yes, I just remembered, "Because my parliamentarian said so!"

  Please keep me covered with prayer today as I'm heading for Bismarck and am STILL fighting this bug.  Do you know how much energy it takes to give a BodyTalk session?  Does it take energy to learn?  Yes, and as I find the links I am learning what the body needs to have corrected.  It's a LOT of work!!!

See you tomorrow!

Dawn

PS.  You can see Robert in this photo.  He has on the yellow and black checked shirt.  I can just see him looking over the top of his glasses and thinking, "OH BOY!"

Listen for yourself

Hey, guess what?  Cora just showed me that the whole national delegate election, at the NDGOP this past weekend, is on you tube.  This means that you can listen for yourself to how the rights of the delegates were of little worth in the eyes of the chairman AND his committee. 

Time and time again the patriots said, in dozens of ways, "All we want is for ALL of the names to have equal importance on the ballot and the only way that will happen is for you to print ballots with the names of both your people and the people that we have just nominated from the floor." 

They absolutely refused to do so and then threw it in our faces that their poor ballot counters had to read every body's handwriting.  THE AUDACITY

My son, Andrew, was the first to ask for a new ballot to be printed with ALL of the names to be typed out so that they would all be equal.  When some names are typed in and some have to be written in by hand, there is a distinction made between the 2 sets of names.

 As you can hear, the chair did NOT respond in a fair manner and ask the group to vote on this.  He declared loudly into the microphone, "You're out of order." Very quickly Andrew responded with, "WHY?"  He knew that he was NOT out of order, but the only answer that was given was, "Because my parliamentarian says so."  I guess this makes it right to stomp on people's civil rights.  GRRRRR--but you can hear it for yourself here and now.  Oh, yes, it get's worse but I'll post this in sections so that you don't get stressed out about it.  ;)

Indignantly,

Dawn

Nice summary

Good morning everyone,

It's amazing what a good night's sleep can do to restore one's spirits, isn't it? I sure have noticed an improvement in my sleep with the progesterone that Dr. Tennant prescribed for me so I'm thankful for that.

I'm starting to have hope that his supplement program for hypothyroidism may work it's miracles for me as it has for millions of others. However I keep reminding myself that I need to be patient and let it take it's affect. After all, Dr. Tennant does say that it may take 3 to 6 months for people to begin to notice all the benefits of his plan to eradicate the world of hypothyroidism. Go, Dr. Tennant, GO!

The guys just pulled out of the yard with their cleaners--Andrew first and Robert right behind. Then Cora left for the neighbors to babysit their 2 sweet little girls all day. That means that Jacob and I are in charge of chores and watching for calving problems. We also have some schooling left although I'm pleased and proud to say that Jacob's test results just came back and he scored at the 90th percentile--YEAH JACOB!!!

Before Cora left, she showed me this short video on You-Tube about the convention. This young lady is a Ron Paul supporter and I'd say that she did a fair job of summarizing our 2 days of amazing frustration. I hope that you'll take a minute and a half and watch and then get involved so that, in 2 years, the patriots outnumber the deadbeats and THEN things will be different. 

Our main complaint is that THE committee who runs the GOP put together a slate of candidates to the national convention. It is at the national convention that Republicans will nominate their man to run in the Primaries in June.  We want that man to be Ron Paul but in order for that to happen we need to get Ron Paul delegates TO THAT MEETING.

You would not believe all of the techniques that were unfairly used to prevent this from happening.  When we heard a Santorum supporter say the same thing that we were saying, we decided to unite on Sunday with them to try to get a FAIR vote on all candidates who were nominated from the floor. The chair, Stan Stein, refused to acknowledge our people AND the Santorum people which is unethical in it's own right.  However, when the fact that Satorum took 40% of the vote and Ron Paul took 30% of the vote in the caucuses but 90% of the delegates put forth by the committee were Romney delegates, this is a gross injustice to freedom. 

Are you ready to join the revolution? Are you tired of party manipulation to shove someone down your throat that will not lead our country in a fair fashion?  If so, then go to www.ronpaul.com. To tempt you, please watch one youth of our country summarize the NDGOP convention which was held in Bismarck, ND this past weekend. Why, it was even complete with a bribe although THAT'S not public knowledge YET.

To FREEDOM FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dawn

PS.  You can see Cora and my new friend, Virginia, in the background talking to other Ron Paul supporters.  I spent 2 days with these ladies watching justice smashed by the wicked and I was so thankful for them to lean on!  More to follow!

No Condemnation

My friend/client, Diane, has been telling me about Pastor Joseph Prince for several months now.  I can clearly recall how jubilant she looked when she showed up in my Bismarck office for her session a while back.  She shared how Pastor Prince was teaching, on his CD series CONDEMNATION KILLS, how people can't get well if they buy into this philosophy that "I'm just no good."

  Well, Diane loaned us several of Pastor Prince's CD series when she came for another session last week.  We listened to the first CD in CONDEMNATION KILLS in our home church yesterday and I was deeply blessed.  I never understood before how to get over the damaged goods syndrome which I picked up in my childhood home.  Some part of me always believed that I didn't deserve all of God's wonderful blessings. 

 Pastor Prince says that it's not that Christ doesn't love us, it's that WE don't give HIM a chance to let His love flow into our lives.  In other words, we've become accustomed to conditional love (which really isn't love at all) that we can't quite grasp being loved just because we are. 

  Today I've been listening to Pastor Prince's HAPPY AND HEALTHY CD set.  It's the same theme again.  It's not that God doesn't want us to be healthy and happy--it's that we don't think we deserve these gifts that He is longing to pour into our lives.  I know that I've heard this thought before, but somehow when Pastor Prince says it--it sticks in my grey matter. 

Well, if I've made you curious, then I urge you to meet Pastor Prince here:
http://www.josephprince.org/.  Pastor Prince also has lots of videos on You Tube so check him out.  You'll be happy to hear his message of unconditional blessings from God just waiting to be poured into our lives.   I loved his description of the word Shalom which means so much more than "Just" peace--as if peace isn't enough.

Shalom dear friends--be blessed in EVERY way that God has for you today!

Dawn


Here's another one.  Let's ALL seek God's love in our lives today!!!

Need Patriots

Happy Sabbath everyone,

  What can I say?  The more that I get to know about Ron Paul, the more that I love him.  Yes, I actually love this man who has stood in the gap for freedom for so long.  Do I love him because he promises me "Free" government money?  NO, I love him because he does what is right no matter what ANYBODY says against him.  Can "Your guy" say this? 

You may not realize it, but this month is a very critical month for our nation.  As the district conventions are being held all around the state, people will either vote for the same old-same old, or for Ron Paul who definitely will change things for the better if he is our next President. 

I just found a site that has some pretty awesome songs about this unsung hero.  Being the press is so anti-Christ, WE THE PEOPLE must help to get the word out that we have a real live hero running for the President of the United States of America.  PLEASE take a moment to listen to this song and see if you can hear the love pouring forth from the singer.

Please pray for the campaign, if that's all that you can do.  However, if you have time to make a few phone calls to help us find the Ron Paul supporters in your area, that would be so awesome!  If so, let us know and Andrew will get you started calling as he is the head of the campaign for our district.

To freedom!

Dawn

No matter how small

Yesterday was a GREAT day!  I loved going out to chores and helping Robert to feed the newly weaned calves.  It wasn't too cool to find that the dogs had spooked the calves in the night and the fence was knocked down and some had escaped.  Still, it was such a beautiful morning and I was very excited about what lay ahead.

After showers, we had a quick church service and headed for Steele.  We met Chris Stevens there and our trip to Bismarck was filled with political talk.  It was great to prime the pump in that way as we jumped into politics quickly over pizza--which I avoided alltogehter.  YEA ME!!!

Jeff Greenspan, who had given the delegate training in Fargo that Andrew and I attended last year, was giving his same great presentation to folks who are commited Ron Paul delagates.  It was an awesome experience and all three of us are pursuing becoming Ron Paul delegates but also Paul Sorem delegates.  Paul, a home school dad, is  running for Governor and Cora said, "He even looks like a Governor!"

In the whole big political process, one can begin to feel pretty small and unimportant.  Listening to Jeff, though, changed my thinking on that.  "Politics is a numbers game," he kept repeating and I started getting excited about being a part of the majority who truly do love our country and want to see it thrive for generations to come.

While visiting during break, someone said that we really ARE important.  That was when I recalled this awesome story, HORTON HEARS A WHO.  I hope that you'll listen to this cool little video and start your "Save our country" juices flowing. 

All 3 of us, Cora, Andrew, and myself, are needing people to step forward and vote for us so that we can become delegates so that we can vote for Ron Paul in the Republican convention coming up at the end of March. 

If you are a member of the Republican party; are willing to drive with us to Linton for the meeting; and are willing to vote for us so that we can become delegates, PLEASE send me an email at: linkstohealing@gmail.com. 

Why does it matter that you add your voice to all of the rest who are saying, "Down with ObamaCare type politics?"  Watch this cartoon and you'll see why.  If you absolutely aren't willing to give your country that much time, then I'll summarize Horton's thoughts for you here.

A PERSON'S A PERSON NO MATTER HOW SMALL!  YOU MATTER, FOLKS!!!

Yours for freedom,

Dawn

Wussification

Hi everyone,
  How many of you have heard of Brad Stein?  Cora gave the boys Brad's DVD for their birthdays called, "Wussification."  If you have ever heard this DVD, you will know that Mr. Stein does NOT hold back with his opinions.  In my opinion, this makes him a real live hero in this day of "Political correctness."

It was great to hear feminism very firmly vilified and Christian manhood elevated to it's rightful place--at the head of the family.  Since that time, I've been listening to Brad's clips on You Tube and found this one tonight.

I'm currently working on getting a John Birch Society meeting set up in Bismarck for next week so these kinds of thoughts are very inspiring to me.  It is my prayer that you will listen to Mr. Stein and let his words seep into your heart.  Then go to JBS.org and learn about an organization that truly IS doing something to preserve our precious freedoms.

Oh for courage like this!

Dawn

Meet Sylvia

Hello everyone,

  Robert said to me once, "I think that you put natural healers up on a pedestal."  I was pretty surprised but, as I thought about it some more, I could see his point.  Of course, as I have grown more and more into what people call a healer, I see how ridiculous this was of me. 

  God put within us the ability to heal ourselves.  In BodyTalk, we call this the innate wisdom of the body.  In my desire to share Sylvia with you, I was led to this set of video clips from an interview that she did in Australia in 2006.

 Here Sylvia does an excellent job of explaining the innate wisdom of the body and how we can get ill even though we have this wonderful wisdom right inside of our bodies.  She also explains how a BodyTalk session gets the brain in touch with the body's innate wisdom.  Once the brain can see the problem, it can repair anything--even itself as I have experienced first hand. 

I hope that you'll enjoy the beautiful background as you take a quick trip to Australia and listen to Sylvia's wisdom.  By the way, BodyTalk was born in Australia in the mind of Dr. John Veltheim.  I am so very thankful that he shared it with all of us!

Enjoying life!

Dawn

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Today is my favorite day of the year because it's a day that people are MOST likely to thank God for all of the blessings that we take for granted.  My happiest childhood memories (and they were few) were memories spent on Thanksgiving Day.  It seems that even old grumps are moved by the day to rejoice.

This afternoon I ended up doing something that I wasn't really thrilled about.  After spending the morning in the kitchen with Cora, it was a bit of a dud actually.  However, the wall in the shop needed painting and everyone is excited about getting the shop insulated so that the guys can work in there when it's cold outside.  I must admit that after it was finished, the white wall improved the morale of the place immensely!

While we were painting, the thought came to me, "Why aren't there any really good movies about Thanksgiving?"  If there are any, my mind wasn't drawn to them just then.  I said to the boys, "We need to make a good Thanksgiving movie.  I'll write it; we can all act in it; and Andrew can video it."

"Sure, Mom," said Jacob, and we continued rolling the stinky white paint on the new wall. 

Well, after I got the paint off of me and the brushes, I decided to share with you all here.  You must imagine my delight when I went to You Tube to see if there was anything worth sharing there on this special day.  Here was our future president (that's how I'm praying) talking about God and the Constitution and my heart was happy.  Of course, I must add that I had just started to watch the video of our current President discussing Thanksgiving so the contrast in philosophies was quite remarkable.   I say, "Started to," because I couldn't stomach watching all the way to the end. 

I know that you're probably all busy with family today so I hesitated to post this rather long video.  However, after I started listening to it, my heart was so happy that I just HAD to share it.  I urge you to take the time in the next few days to listen and I pray that doing so will make you thankful that you're an American too. 

If you aren't an American--please join with us in praying for our country to turn around and run away from all it's sin.  God is always calling, even nations, to enter into His sweet presence with true THANKSGIVING--and not only today!!!!!!!!!!

Love to all,

Dawn

Theme song

You know how, when you're in school, the whole class votes for a motto; class colors; class hymn; class flowers; and then finally a theme song to represent your thoughts on life?  Well, you may have noticed that I put my theme verse at the top of this blog a while back.  It's the verse that God gave me when I got into doing energy work as I noticed how a simple thought was wrecking a person's life. 

Well, awhile back, Andrew introduced me to the Booth Brothers.  I have all of Andrew's musical favorites on my iPod and I started enjoying the Booth Brothers music.  Now, I'm not into Southern Gospel music because of the typical slurring problems, but I REALLY like the Booth Brothers.

One of the songs on their CD, "Carry on" has just grabbed my heart.  Almost every morning I begin my conscious thinking by listening to this awesome song, "Passing the Faith Along."  This morning I got to wondering if, perhaps, they had put this favorite of mine on You Tube.  When I looked, though, I saw that they did not.

 HOWEVER, I found a version by The Gaither Vocal Band that is so incredible that I decided to share it so that you can start to grasp the message in this awesome song.  I guess this is the group of people who have ever sung in the band as there's a whole bunch of them.  Being my folks watched the Gaithers a lot, I recognize some of the faces. 

Watch how the message in this song unites the group.  Even though this is somewhat repetative, I just LOVE this song and pray that it will start to inspire you every day as it does me.  I especially like the line about giving people hope as that is what this blog is all about. 

I'm sure that, once you grasp the message here, you'll understand why I have decided to claim this song as my theme song for life and for my ministry--Links to Healing!  ENJOY!!!

Dawn

Sabbath at home

I love this video about keeping the Sabbath at home.   As much as I love singing in the choir or teaching children about the Lord or being convicted in my spirit about some new concept that the Lord laid on the pastor's heart, keeping the Sabbath at home with my family is oh so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that you can begin to grasp how much this means to me by listening to these deep thoughts.

HAPPY SABBATH TO ALL!

 Dawn

One Year

I have so much to write about concerning the ND Board of Massage meeting on Wednesday; the new clients on Friday; our unexpected guests on Sabbath; and the disappearing rock piles around here, but it will all have to wait. I had hoped to be able to get caught up to-date with my posting before this, but today I will write about my one year anniversary instead of any of those things. Please keep watching as I do need to share, at the VERY least, about the meeting with the massage board.

It was one year ago tonight (at 8:22) that my mother died. One of my friends said to her husband that night, "It is the best thing that has ever happened to Dawn!" I know that many people will gasp at that statement, but I guess that you would have had to have REALLY known my mother, to be able to grasp the truth in what was said about her.

My mother was one of the most selfish people that I've ever met. EVERYTHING HAD TO REVOLVE AROUND HER WISHES OR SHE'D POUT LIKE A TWO-YEAR-OLD! Perhaps you recall the grape video that I posted about her right after her death? If not, you can look it up under videos to try to understand what I'm saying here.

Truly, not once in the past year, have I missed my mother! I kept checking my heart to see if I REALLY missed her, but it was just some memory of wishing that she and I would be close that would surface. I cried for about 2 weeks after her death. Jacob asked me then, "Why are you crying when she was your biggest enemy?" I told him, "I guess it's the loss of hope that we'll be close someday that I grieve."

I did decide to mark this day with a blog post, though, because I WANT to believe that my mother left me with SOME good character traits in SOME way. Here are a few pictures of the treasures of hers I've inherited since her death, along with comments that I recall about things she said.

Perhaps you recall that I had my mom's expensive fur coats made into teddy bears for my children and I? I decided to post a picture of mine for those of you who have joined my blog since that time. The fur came from a leather coat she had and Martha made little vests for the boys' bears out of that coat too. Before my mother was rich, she was poor. That was when she taught me the art of recycling and making do with what you have. Thanks for this lesson, Mom!

About 2 months after mom's death, I finally agreed with dad's wishes to have me come and take away all of her clothes. I just couldn't stomach the thought before that. When I got to the back of the shelf in her closest, I discovered this box. Now, having watched THE CHRISTMAS BOX repeatedly (AND read the true story), I have been captivated with the idea of finding a treasure in a lovely, old box hidden away somewhere out of sight. When I found this box, I held my breath just KNOWING that there WAS a treasure inside. I WAS RIGHT!!!

The lovely, old box was filled with lovely, old handkerchiefs that my mom had neatly ironed and put away decades ago. I gave one to each of my children and then proceeded to use them WITHOUT ironing them in between. GASP!

I still recall asking Mom about 10 years ago, when I had just sewn my children all new handkerchiefs for Christmas gifts, "What ever made you give up using handkerchiefs, Mom?" I can still recall my stomach churning when she answered, "They were always full of snot." I suppose that some of you will find that funny, but I just cannot STOMACH anything vulgar like that! I can only think that, as my parent's bank account grew, my mother felt like she could afford to join the throw-away mentality which permeates our culture now. She and I never could come to terms with THAT difference in our thinking when one of my favorite books is THE TIGHTWAD GAZETTE! The ironed ones are the ones that she ironed and I haven't used yet. Maybe, someday, I'll take up ironing my handkerchiefs, but I don't think it will happen any time in the near future.

Here's another treasure that I inherited from my mother. My mother really did like to cook and this is a collection of her favorite recipes! I confess that I haven't spent much time looking in here until today. I just assumed that it was full of, "You open a can of this, and a box of that, and stir," as so many cooks do these days. In the bottom drawer I found a note on how to get tar out of clothing--USE PEANUT BUTTER! Perhaps I'll take a little more time today to honor my mother by studying her collection of recipes? Who knows, there may be a recipe to a childhood favorite? Thanks for teaching me how to cook, Mom!

As I think of my REAL treasures, though, I know that there is none so wonderful as my precious family!!!! Cora snapped this picture of Andrew and I yesterday before they left for a friend's home-school graduation. What would I be if I weren't a mother? What would I be if I hadn't learned to unselfishly teach my children year after year? What would I be if my mother hadn't given birth to me? changed my diapers? made me German strudels to fatten me up? .......

I close this post in honor of my 1 year of life without my mother with the words of my Uncle David at her funeral. Uncle David hugged me and said, "She wasn't perfect, Dawnie, but SHE WAS STILL YOUR MOTHER!" I couldn't say it better!

Although I am REALLY glad that she isn't harassing me anymore, and everyone has said repeatedly this year, "It is so much more peaceful without Grandma getting Mom worked up all the time," she was STILL MY MOTHER.

Somewhere back there, she must have shown me the value of love because I know that I certainly could NOT live without IT! Here's to love then--may it thrive upon the earth and fill homes with LOTS OF IRONED HANDKERCHIEFS, AND OTHER SUCH TIME-CONSUMING NICETIES, THAT PEOPLE REALLY APPRECIATE LATER ON!!!! Goodbye Mom--thanks for the ironed handkerchiefs!

Doing well,

Dawn

GOD AND GOD ALONE CAN HELP ME

This morning I was feeling overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed by all of the wonderful material that I learned in the past 4 days. The perfectionist in me was thinking, "How in the world will I ever memorize all of THAT material?" There are almost as many new techniques as I have already mastered.

Then I was overwhelmed by this finger STILL itching; swelling; peeling; blistering; and tingling. I am soooooo glad that I had a session with "Melanie's" Andrew when he was here during class. He's a chiropractor/BodyTalker... In that session with Andrew, I learned that there are 5 factors involved in this finger problem and hopefully it will be a thing of the past here soon, but it's still a pain in the hand..................................

I was also overwhelmed this morning as I pondered a personal situation that I must deal with involving another BodyTalker. It came up as a factor in this finger situation and Dr. Andrew Colyer told me that I need to address it for the finger to heal. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME. I hardly slept last night as I prayed over this, but the Lord showed me a plan of action and now it's just for the courage to follow through.

I'm still shifting from the incredible session with Andrew which I had on Sunday. My head hurts quite a bit and I know that I "Should" (I'll post on SHOULD soon) just take it easy today. However Cora is gone babysitting today and it's time to make lunch but all I want to do is go and soak in the whirlpool. Tomorrow is my office day in Bismarck......................

Just now I cried out to the Lord when I came in the kitchen from the bathroom and saw that I had turned on the wrong burner on the stove. Instead of warming the water in my teapot, I was cooking my bread knife which was VERY hot. I guess I need to be more careful where people put things when they clear the table AND which burner I turn on.

Well, to be honest, I was just plain overwhelmed. That's when I turned my face towards Heaven and cried out to the Lord for help. This song popped into my head then and I knew that I was to find it on U Tube. I watched it and, after I had a good cry, I knew that I was to share it with you too.

I'm hoping that, if you're having a day where you feel like the whole world is resting on your shoulders like I was this morning, this song will be a reminder that it doesn't. Oh yes, He had me do the BodyTalk technique where you get rid of false belief systems before I listened to the video. The concept was, "The whole world is MY responsibility." WOW--no wonder my neck and head are hurting today. I covet your prayers!

Be blessed,

LEARN HOW TO THINK BETTER

GUESS WHAT! I have finally learned how to post a video from U Tube ALL BY MYSELF!!!!!
Maybe I'm growing up! :)

I was just telling a client whose neck is "Killing her" how to find this link. IT IS MEGA IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE LEARN HOW TO TAP OUT THEIR CORTICES!!!!!! The world would become a much more peaceful place to live in if everyone would start their day, like I do, by tapping out their cortices. It's the first thing that I do, as I've learned that I'm not at my best until I've linked up the 2 sides of my brain. I refuse to step one foot on the floor until I've tapped out my cortices (and done the switching technique) as I think that my family and the world deserves me to be the very best that I can be.

School teachers around the world are starting their school days by tapping out their cortices along with their students. Children learn better; can sit better; are more calm and the whole day goes better. The best part of all is that it is TOTALLY FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot urge you too much to listen to these 2 video clips by the man whom God used to save my life. Dr. Veltheim is a hero to millions of people around the world, including me. I beg you to let him become one to you too!!!

It'll take you 12 1/2 minutes to listen to these videos but for the rest of your life you can become the best that you can be too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You and your family deserve the very best life there is! :)

As we BodyTalkers often say, "Happy tapping!"

PS. Oh yes, my day in Bismarck yesterday was absolutely FANTASTIC. I felt the prayers coming my way and had a fantastic healing experience when Tone-Lise worked on me in the morning. Then the Lord blessed in incredible ways as I worked on 3 lovely ladies in the afternoon. Not only that, Jacob and I came home with 5 new fish for Cora's aquarium. They said to fill it slowly, but that is for Cora to tell about. :) Thanks for your prayer support yesterday.

PS. Did I mention that I now have peace about leaving that office in Bismarck? I'm not sure where I'm going but I sent out an email this morning informing my partners that I'm leaving. I had hoped to have a meeting but things are REALLY bad there and this seemed the least stressful route for all of us. Maybe I'll have courage to tell more about that later. In the meantime, please pray that I can sense God's leading me as to where/if I am to have my Bismarck office after April. Now that I've decided to leave, I am amazed at how calm I am! I'm almost positive that I'd not have been able to leave had it not been for Tone-Lise's session yesterday morning--God bless you TL!

AND NOW, FOR DR. VELTHEIM!
