Boss dies

The Green man passes. Yes he, my boss of 35 years has gone on to his Maker. He was intimidating at times, leader at all times. He was a second father, demanded loyalty and showed loyalty. It will take awhile to come through this, but I am healing.
He was really my only employer for all these years. I did other part time jobs, but always returned. He did somethings at times that I did not understand, but we all do things that only we know why. Either for business, or personal reasons. Life is that way. When we begin to accept it that there just are some things that are going to be a certain way and we can not change them, well, that helps depression as well.
I have been Christian oriented much of my life , but I asked Jesus to come into my heart on Oct. 23, just past. I mean not on the surface, I mean into my heart. I had always heard that It is mind blowing. It is more than that, and continues each and everyday, as I learn how the Lord wants me to deal with life. To talk to Him about everything. And He answers, within seconds. Really! through background music, through conversation with others that are happening, through magazine articles that I read that are on a completely different subject matter. He does answer. At first I thought It was just coincidents , but it continues to happen. I thought, at work, sitting down  on Center Street, at my work place, God are You really here? Within seconds. Literally seconds, a little boy, comes up and hands me a little baggie, and says " this is for you" and walks away. Inside, a card that could be read : God is no where   or   God is now here.
With in seconds. It blew me away. Things like that are happening to me all day long every day. But I must keep talking to Him, and I will. For He is REAL! Just ask Him to come in. NOT JUST ON THE SURFACE, BUT IN TO YOUR HEART.  THEN JUST WATCH.

Ambassadors at Dr. Dan's

This is the email from Stefanie West ,Ambassador Director at Yachter Chiropractic, the place that I go to. It is about another event, but it gives you some knowledge about this clinic.

Sorry to all of you who got your email cut off on the last one. Here it is again. And the invite to the Young's home was last weeks that I sent by mistake.. sorry again! Their gathering this week is this saturday Oct. 30th! See invite below..:)

Hello wonderful Ambassadors!

The energy is rolling and we are all anticipating our move into our new space around the corner! It is time to TAKE ACTION! This applies to our personal lives as well. Most of us know where we are going or at least where we want to be and what we need to do to get there... however, being passive and waiting around for something to happen just doesn't work. There are definitely times to Let go and Surrender... but it is in the Leaps of faith where we learn to FLY.. No matter how many mountains try to get in our way, we have the power through God in us, to bring them tumbling down:) Nothing is impossible with God, let's keep that perspective as we push into this new season in our lives. There are times to sit and wait, but there are definitely times to stand and GO!! Here are some great action quotes I thought I would share to inspire you wherever you are at with your business, family, God, relationships, health, and finances...

“Even if you're on the right track, you'll still get run over if you just sit there.” -- Will Rogers

“Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.” -- Conrad Hilton, Businessman

“Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.” -- Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister

“You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.” -- Anthony Robbins


Our Ambassador Thanksgiving cooking class with Chef Ossie has been scheduled for Monday night Nov. 15th at 7pm. I am sorry for any of you who have conflicting schedules but this is the ONLY night in November that works for all parties that is available at the office. You do Not want to miss this cooking experience! Chef Ossie will be featuring some delicious healthy Thanksgiving recipes. He has mentioned using pumpkin, cranberry, sweet potatoe casserole, and roasted turkey.. or close to that:) No matter what it is, it will be AMAZING and everyone will leave with full tummies. Please RSVP asap as I only have room for 30 people. Feel free to bring a friend just make sure you tell me so I reserve a spot. It is still only $10/person for Ambassadors! Where else can you get a ridiculously healthy dinner by a famous chef and watch him cook it and leave with the recipe in your pocket??? I can't wait!

Lastly, you are all invited on behalf of Chris and Natalie Young for a gathering on Sunday Oct. 17th at 10am at the Young's residence in Deltona for worship, fellowship, and encouragement. The Young family have been faithful patients and ambassadors of Dr. Dan's for many years. And they are opening their home to all of you for a Bible study. For more details read the invitation below.

May God bless you and keep you safe in His arms this week:)

Scott and Char Shallenberger, fellow health seekers

I have been looking for Scott for several months, for he has suffered all his life with much the same problems as I. I met him at my job and lost track of him until just a few days ago. Here is my facebook comment.
Scott:
I have been detoxing and rebuilding myself, spiritually and psychically. I am now off of all medications for 9 plus months and am still healing. I have found two places in Heathrow and Lake Mary, north of here, that are helping me greatly, ...with info and testing, but still not exactly what I want. The chiropractor that I see is having a "Extreme Make Over" a presentation, like a lecture, on Nov. 20th in Lake Mary. It is for four hours and is at The Gathering Place (a church)The church has a great auditorium. It would help you, I know, or maybe you are passed that, I do not know, but It is a free event. I can give you more info if you want. It is for four hours and has been of tremendous help for me in knowledge and support. The other is in Heathrow at the Heathrow Anti-Aging Clinic. I go there for Thermograms for my breasts. Instead of mamograms . But they have detox foot baths. I have not had one, but you said that they are great. They are 45 a session, and she wants to sell 10 sessions. She says that it takes that many to detox yearly. Do you know of any other place around here that does it?
Also I am going to have a live microscopy done of my blood to determine what else is further wrong with it. As to what remains to detox from it.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi to Char.

Other Symptoms

Other symptoms
My bottom of my feet itch as I take in foods that I have previously given up. It just proves that I am on the right track. My lymph glands in the under arms hurt as well as those located in the groin area. Even my joints hurt. Skin itches. I have been on vacation and I have tried to stay on the diet. I have mostly succeeded, however, it is very hard. The family stress of the death of my niece, Elaine, and the change of diet has caused these symptoms.
Another family member, thinks things that deal with family matters are just nuisances and a bother. I used to think that way,at least at times, until I realized just how badly family treated other family members. We all need family and friends for support, both in good times and bad. This alone helps fight depression.
A country song on the radio now says: "I am Rosemary's granddaughter,the spitting image of my father,and my mother is my biggest fan" Well I now say that "I am Henrietta's granddaughter,the spitting image of Armin , and Ruth is my biggest fan". it gives me"place" and I can go with that.

Elaine's Passing

October 10/13/2010
Elaine England, my niece, passed away yesterday morning while sleeping. She was in her late twenties. Some health issues were involved,but overall she seemed healthy. This blow to the family, I think, is in someways worse than if my mother,almost ninety, passed. Her father is a pastor, and all family members are strong in the church. One of her issues was depression. She fought with it most of her short life. Now at least she is at peace. At this time, so shortly after the event, we don't know just what happened. An autopsy is warranted.
I think, at this short time, that the depression was just another symptom of an overall health issue. Why, in this day and age, won't we as society wake up to what our bodies are telling us?
I read a lot of Sherlock Holmes novels and I am amazed at the minute details that this fictional detective perceives as he studies his problems, his subjects.  He looks at all of the smallest things and how they inter-relate to each other. Why aren't  his techniques employed today? Why, what with the new technologies and information that is available on the Internet, we can't fight the health fight with more success? Nothing is intragrated, or inter woven into a whole. In chiropractic, everything is inter woven, and the source of all illness is addressed, inflammation.
All illness is traced back to this inflammation through different signs that are evident. Problems with the digestion, skin, popping in the ears, aches in the joints,all point to hidden problems. Even how we process our thoughts. Sometimes the sequence of the thoughts and what triggers  them is amazing. I think the brain works in patterns, and once trained into the negative, it is hard to "repattern" it.
But not impossible. My depression is caused by stress. Fed by stress. Right now, every emotion is intense. It maybe the detox from the drugs I have been on all these years.
10/14/2010
We are on our way to Ohio
We are going through the Shenndoah Valley. First mountains we have been in in thirty years. Garmin signal is coming and going. Depression has lifted for some days at this point. It is possible that new things for my brain to grasp is circus navigating the depressive thoughts. Will think of that fact to supply more new things into the mix of life.
Elaine died so young. I want to do more things before I die. The chief one is to be happy most of the day on a day to day basis. This is more to me than making money. To find my inner happy spot before I go.

Leaving to go to Richmond

I am flying to Richmond tomorrow, and might not be able to post. But I have noticed that my brain fixates on thoughts and then blows them out of proportion. Mostly to the negative. I strive to push it to the positive.  I know that healing involves all things, mental, spiritual, physical, emotional.

Spiritual Things continue

I seem to be realizing that God is more than a white bearded Man on a throne. He is everything. The wind, the light, the emotions of light, airiness, hope, the things that are not seen, but are happiness. We are creatures of God and have only to accept Him to thrive in Him. He is always here, but until we accept that, then we are in darkness. Darkness is pain, the devil, evil. Note that a "d" precedes evil in the word devil?
Well thoughts like this and more have been occuring to me these last few days. The darkness of depression is away from light, from God, to believe that He is here is to make oneself whole.
Pretty heady stuff. I will write more later.
