Thank You Honey!!

Over the weekend my hubby gave me a late anniversary gift/early birthday present. Yes, it's purple!! I love it.






I know in the pic it might look more pink than purple. Sometimes in certain light the camera also looks more pink than purple, but it is really purple

New Book


Excuse the "Look inside", I copied this picture from Amazon.com. I found this author, Suzanne Woods Fisher, through my friend Shelley Shepard Gray. Shelley was doing an interview on Suzanne's radio show, about her books and this is where I learned about this author. I just finished reading this book and I really enjoyed it. It is yet, another, safe, clean read. Suzanne is also the author of a book called Amish Proverbs.

Currently I am finishing up a book, The Telling,  by Beverly Lewis. If you're familiar with her work and enjoy her style, you will enjoy these books. They are very similiar.  I am anxious to get to Shelley's book Autumn's Promise.

Shelley was just featured in USA Today.. You can read about it here---> USA Today

Apple Cider Vinegar & Health

I have close friend who has told me about ACV over the years and its benefits. I could only imagine using it and just my luck I'd smell like an Easter Egg, I must point out she has NEVER smelled like an Easter Egg-- Hee Hee!! Anyway, I thought I would give  it a try over the next few weeks and see if I notice any changes in my health. ACV has a wide range of benefits from skin ailments, to helping with joint pain from arthritis to other similar related conditions. It is supposed to help with digestive disorders and even has benefits for diabetics in regulating their sugar/insulin levels.I have to admit after drinking some last night my all day tummy ache did go away!  If you do a search for Apple Cider Vinegar you'll find a WIDE assortment of information. I tried it last night for the first time in a drink form, called Honegar.  I mixed 1 teaspoon of honey with 1 teaspoon of ACV in a little over 10 ounces of water. Usually the ratio is 1 Tablespoon of ACV to 1 Tablespoon of Honey (or a tad more) to 8 oz of water. It was very tasty..It did not have a vinegary taste at all. It tasted more like watered down lemonade.NEVER drink the ACV straight, it can ruin your teeth and your Esophagus. You can find this recipe along with others , on the Internet. This morning I mixed the ACV with my Ice Tea--I didn't like the taste change in my tea but it was still drinkable.. I am not sure what I am trying to accomplish by trying this 'cure' but maybe I will discover some health benefit . I would like improved skin (I have Psoriasis) and no joint pain ( I have Arthritis) I also have Chronic Fatigue & Sleep Apnea, just to name a few annoying health issues.. It is also supposed to help with blood pressure, too.    Have you ever tried it? What was your result? Do you know anyone who uses ACV for anything?

Here is one site to find information. Keep in mind there are many many sites so if you are interested, keep searching....----->>>>. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR. A lot of sites recommend using Organic ACV. I have Heinz right now but I will prob switch to organic eventually.

*** Don't confuse ACV with White Vinegar** It's not the same.
