Eck-understanding this is Mercury Retrograde-explains alot I'd say...yesterday I spent hours learning to use a smart camera-getting things tied into our home wi-fi and adding them to YouTube and Facebook- electronics are NOT natural to me and working with them is flustering to say the least- well it is done! I tried to add a video to youtube and once again it failed so I gotta keep working w it-I believe we are gonna have to take and upload to the computer then send over to youtube that way-the smart phone and the smart camera aren't working- sizzle- all that time! ..anyhoo-it is all a learning experience huh! Studying up on youtube-with all the mean hearted trolls on there -I am gonna make our show have no ability to give comments, no like/dislike and no Video responses- I sorta hate that because it blocks getting to know the nice folks-but the toxic comments ones are giving to other youtube hosts is just rude-and frankly I don't have time to listen to or read such trash- and it would hurt my wittle feewings too-lol!
OK OK -walk away from that- but it needed to be addressed before we start the show... as to why we won't allow comments ...
As I was walking this morning I began to think of things that are really helping me as I go from fat to fit.
Some things have been knowing what won't work for me-understanding myself. 1 is-I am not a gym person-have had many memberships but never can force myself to go- during a recent angel communication it was shared I have a very high allergy to anything most chemicals -plastic ,foam rubbers - and to flourescent lighting-and very low tolerance for electromagnetic energies -they act as an energy drainer to me ... so all the various machines and things are repellent to my energy.
So-for me the best exercise is in nature-I found the perfect nature trail and since then have really looked forward to hiking- even walking around the Highland Park reservoir was repellent to my energy because of the pavement.
I also love mowing grass and working in my veggie garden- especially this year using biodynamic gardening methods in my backyard patio garden!
Dancing with hubby in the living room is great too- but we just don't so it often enough!
We have found out too about health -having a system that is more alkaline vs acidic- in an alkaline body cancer won't grow and pain syndromes magickally disappear -and one of the easiest ways of doing this is by putting lemons in drinking water. Easy to do-refreshing and incredibly healthy on every level !
Eating a low meat diet and enjoying lots of seasonal fruits and veggies is a great way as well-
Remember this-all processed and junk foods are incredibly high acid producing in the body and highly toxic! There is NOTHING good about them- I highly recommend - sorry- make food from scratch-using only natural ingredients! Or at LEAST- read the labels and only use foods with a few ingredients-the longer the list the more things in there you don't want- unless it is veggies soup or something- look towards the end of the list-if it is a bunch of chemical words- as for me and my household-I now view it as poison!!
One of my greatest allies in my journey from fat to fit is my 10 year old Schnauzzer Shitzu mix Puffer the Heart Healer- he is always ready for a walk-and actually gets sulky and depressed acting if I forget to go walking!When he sees me get the leash and say -Wanna go walk ??-I get 3 twirls and a yip- he is one happy boy! He is so good on the nature trail- once we get past the parking lot and area ones go biking he can be off leash and loves to mark territory and smell everything in sight- but he never lets me get out of sight-nice thing about schnauzzers-they bond deeply and want to be in sight of their peeps!
I gotta tell you when I 1st started this journey it was so hard- I had to get off muscle relaxers and constant doses of ibuprofen(caused acid reflux over the years) I had to feel the pain of my fibromyalgia- sleeping was impossible and miserable-it is still not easy at night but getting better-plus if I can't sleep I go ahead and drag myself up w the promise of a nap in the afternoon if I must...
Finding out WHY I had gained so much weight has made it easier too- along with honestly too large of portions and not enough exercise I had a thyroid condition that is now being treated herbally.I started dropping weight w no changes at 1st-which was encouraging to say the least-now adding eating right and exercise it is coming off quite nicely!
Let's see -oh yes I wanted to talk to you about Shaman Sandys Healing Tea - a recipe given me by my friends the Fae-really relaxing and opening up the psychic centers healing tea- I had made a wish list of all the ingredients I needed for my tea- it came up to $120 for a years supply of ingredients-I was like-man money is tight but I need the tea ingredients- well that day a nice whopping check came in the mail -lol- and so I can order my supplies-yes I can gather the ingredients but it is not nearly the amounts I need as when I do large group healing gatherings I make healing tea for everyone! I will also make up bags to sell to buy more ingredients. ..and NO I am not telling you how I make it- trade secret ya know!
Once I get moved in Oct I will have a Sat 3 to 6 healing gathering weekly- in Sept I have 1 in Chimney Rock NC and may have 1 last one in Pittsburgh to help raise funds for my move and to say goodbye to the people I have come close to here...! My experience in Pittsburgh has been very challenging-but I have met some great folks here and have learned to accept the needed lessons that have propelled me to where I need to be... growth is never the easiest thing!
Well gonna run for now-I need to make some biz phone calls-yuck-tie up some maters ,do some housekeeping and then take a bath and do some needed reading! I am not feeling inspired to cook at the moment-so not sure what I might make for supper- we do have some left over spicy lentils and some navy bean soup so maybe that and a big salad tonight is good- we had meat 2 days in a row so we want to eat vegge today all the way...
Love and Light to you! Blessings!

Hello Love Lights! Garden and Healing Updates
Hi Love Lights-This is Appalachian Medicine Woman SandraBear Davis- hope you are having a GREAT start to the week!
Well the the rains came back to PA-the garden is growing- we are harvesting just enough to enhance our meals with lovely,fresh,organic heirloom seed veggies! Tomorrow we get to have our 1st tiny seed potatoes and our 2nd handful of green beans -love that cooked together! So tomorrow we will have supper from our little garden-2 little yellow zucchinis cooked w green peppers and onions ,some fried green tomatoes,beans and potatoes and likely some cornbread and salmon or baked chicken .
Earlier this week I went to Penzys spices in the Strip district of Pittsburgh and bought one each of all thir curry spices- I had fallen in love w lentils done up Indian style and wanted to replocate what I had had- did it-YUMMY- lentils are SUPER good for you and EL Cheapo to the max-PLUS you can sprout them too- all around goodness I'd say!! Nice thing too they don't take hours to cook unlike most dried beans or peas.
Hasn't this been a challenging garden year? Here in Pittsburgh (I am moving back to the Chimney Rock NC area in Oct) we had a late frost that killed many of my tomato,pepper and eggplants I had started from seeds
.
Then we had drought ,I was sick and ended up in the hospital (found out I am diabetic and have a thyroid condition-doing GREAT now), groundhogs and deer invaded the garden while I was down for 3 weeks and they ate ALL my cabbage,brocollli,cauliflower,cucumber,squash,greenbean and most of the corn plants -many I had started from heirloom seeds in Feb...
About the only thing in the big garden we will be harvesting is potatoes and it looks like a pumpkin plant is doing well along with some green pepper...sigh
HOWEVER- we had also planted a large patio garden that is going gangbusters! We fenced it in w chicken wire to keep out groundhog and deer -and it is producing so well! During the drought and extremely hot days I watered the containers daily- checking them 2 or 3 times a day-so having had a back up plan - I am not overly disappointed!
Yes we will likely not have the tons of veggies I wanted to can this year -but it is fun to garden in a container patio garden-NO weeding! No bothersome bugs at all - lots of blossoms and many plants forming-it is a later garden -but hey-I am NOT complaining! We are enjoying what we have -instead of crying over spilt milk .
We are able to continue our prepping otherwise through every other week shopping trips- a typical trip I am able to put back an extra bag of sugar, oil,baking mix,4 to 6 cans of evaporated milk ,some chocolate chips and nuts, a dozen mac n cheese, dozen each of corn,green bean,peas,diced tomatoes or sometimes cans of beets ,carrots,mixed vegs. ,chili beans ,or potatoes, ,a dozen cans of fruit, 4 cans of salmon, 6 or 8 tuna ,instant coffee and flavored creamer ,4 to 6 boxs scalloped potatoes,some oatmeal, 4 bags of beans and and 2 to 4 of rice.I like to get at least a few condiments,honey and some extra salad dressings - at least 2 cases of water . I also put abit into medical and hygiene items as well as extra pet food. I get these at Aldis at really great prices ! ..and yes some of these may be GMO-they are certainly NOT organic but these are SURVIVAL foods - our day to day foods lean toward organic as much as we can -w very little meat or processed foods!
I also go to the health food store monthly and get extra TVP as a meat substitute , bulgur wheat for taboulli salad YUM- and various other types of beans .We get local honey and real maple syrup at our favorite produce stand -has LOTS of Amish items-...
If I find a great deal on celery or onions I dehydrate those.Today I have some apples that were getting wrinkly in the dehydrator-man the house smells great!
We are able to do this prepping on a super slim budget by cutting back on meats,basically no eating out(except pizza and a netflix movie on Fri ) we have no entertainment or clothing budget -we drive as little as possible, do our own haircutting ,we do free things like hiking, going to parks, listening to music, cooking together and lots of interesting conversation! This Winter we will add in chess,cards,board games and hauling in firewood-which to me is FUN.. maybe I am wierd-lol!
Oh on my walk today I came across staghorn sumac for Indian Lemonade and elderberries about to ripen for making jam OR cough syrup- think I will start w jam! I also came across a huge black walnut and a hickory nut tree- loaded-COLD Winter ahead.. the wild grapes are loaded too-nature telling us STOCK UP kids!
We needed to go semi vegetarian for my husbands health anyway-and it opened up money to prep! I am so proud to say my husbands prostate issues have cleared up-his PSA levels are normal now and he has no nodules - he cleared this up by going through Dr Winers Wellness Centers recommendations as to herbs and going on a low uric acid diet! Now can you beat that-claiming back health and saving money too! Plus prostate surgery leaves many men needlesssly impotent-and he is SO manly- what a loss that would have been.. so I benefit too- wink,wink!! lol- besides the man I love getting healthier OF COURSE!!
I am continuing to go from fat to fit through semi vegetarian eating,daily walking,tending the garden and self love vs self loathing motivation.. which seems to be the modern model- hate your body-NO-I believe it is a temple for my Soul and honor my body as a God given GIFT!
From what I have seen in the future we need to be fit in mind,body and Spirit! Working more and more from a space of LOVE and gratitude!
Well I wish you all a wonderful day!!
Love n Light!
Appalachian Medicine Woman

New Earth Prophet an introduction
Hello,
I am starting a new blog today.
I have been blogging since 2007 on line writing as well as blogtalk radio.I wanted to bring all the things I am doing into one easily found place.
As soon as I set up this new blog I will be going over to blogtalk radio to set up an account there-hopefully under www.blogtalkradio.com/newearthprophet
I am on You Tube already with the same name-New Earth Prophet.
Strangest thing ever is I was meaning to make it all The New Earth Prepper-but the work prophet came out all by iself.Anyway- I will keep it this and see what develops!
I was born to a prepper, to a survivalist,back to the land family. I was working in an organic garden when I was just a tot and have continued my whole 50 years.My folks were into self sufficiency,home protection, doing all the homesteading things like having a milk cow,pigs,goats,chickens.beef cattle,we had horses, our water was from a Spring that fed into an old hand dug well-when the spring went dry we hauled water -I learned how to completely clean myself including washing my hair w 1/2 gallon of water heated up on a woodstove!
We had fruit trees,honey bees,we wildcrafted and foraged for wild edibles-morel mushrooms,poke and more! My Dad made wine and my Mom made cheese.We never used mixs for anything-everyting was homemade!
We sewed our own clothes -we did not have a TV but listened to the radio,read books,played cards and board games,I loved art and lived to run the woods , write poetry and ride my horse!
If you go back to my Grandparents they were farmers-my Grandmother was a practical nurse and they always talked about havingat least 2 yars of food stored-jst in case a harvest was bad 1 year-the family would be OK-they too grew almost everything they ate!They traded eggs for flour and sugar-coffee ,tea and cocoa-pretty much everything else they grew in several large gardens.Cash was had by growing tobacco ,hay and corn to sell.
I got away from self sufficiency for a time as I was into a Christian sect that believed in only relying on God- they did no preparations-I have since left that cult and seen the light- we will be saved by God-but He has put into our hearts to prepare ourselves for the coming Earth Shifts-the Day of the Fullfillment of Ancient Prophecy.
We don't know the day or the hour-but we do know it is coming! So we get ourselves prepared to seperate from the drama of a dying old wicked world!
So I will be writing pretty much daily- and will be doing a weekday at 1 pm Blogtalk radio show- I will be doing regular You Tube shows and ask you to subscribe and to "like" the shows- My husband and I have been spirit led to move out of the city o Pittsburgh to the Western NC Mtns near Chimney Rock this Fall.I want to chronicle our move and the setting up of our little homestead and my old time healing space-I practice old time folk medicine healing with herbs,tinctures,salves,soups and herb tea - and laying on of the hands energy healing!
Thank you for taking time to read my blog-I will be doing very regular blogs on Blogger,Blogtalk radio,You Tube on daily prepping ,herbalism,homesteading, self sufficiency,natural healing,holistically healthy homekeeping ,encouragement, spiritual messages I get in my meditation time, how I am losing weight and going from fat to fit , working with building community, being at peace in a world going to heck in a handbasket!!
