Mighty Christmas

WoW! Christmas is Next Week What??? The days have been wonderful...It's just been about Detoxing our environment and remodeling! Super excited for this upcoming year. So much is going to be happening. I really was discouraged when things didn't happen as quickly as I was planning this year but there is a reason for everything right! :) I am keeping my spirits and hopes up high in the Sky!!! I do wish EVERYONE a Very Mighty Holiday Season! Remember the Savior is why we celebrate at this time of year. God is behind all good the ever was and ever will be. Let us partake and continually deliver His goodness to all That we encounter. Ofa Lahi Atu!

HOLIDAY SEASON HAS BEGUN!!!

HEY ALL! I am so excited for the Holiday Season! :) We have really had such an amazing year and I am ready to go out with a BANG!! The book is coming along really well. It is crazy to relive it all as my mom and I write it. God has truly been so amazing and fulfilling in my life. I was just an ordinary 16 year old girl and then a Disease called Crohn's came into my life and changed me forever. I now dedicate my life to health and helping others figure out how to heal their own worlds. I am more grateful for this opportunity than I can express But I will still try. Thank you Lord, Family, and Friends for being there to help me see how my disease and trial in life were sent to me so that I could make a difference and touch peoples hearts! :) :) Hope you are all having an AMAZING end of year experience!!!

Good News :)

Alright well she hasn't got on so I will just tell you...Nancy Got Her Table!!! :) :) It is super exciting around here in our neck of the woods. Constantly blessed and watched over by God! :) :) Just thought I would come on and let y'all know. :)

Anouncment!!!

Ok I just needed to bring you guys in on the Juicy details of life...I would like to announce that My mom (Nancy) and I are WRITING A BOOK!!! :) It is a book about our journey through my Crohn's Disease and how to keep going even when you feel like you can't even walk. I am super excited it is going to be EPIC!!! :D :D We anticipate it coming out next fall. Thanks for all the support!

You're Already Perfect

‘Be Content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.’ ~Lao Tzu
I just want to let you know that you are amazing. Yes we always want to reach higher and look upward but you are wonderful and beautiful right where you are. Start praising and rejoicing in who you are right NOW. Life is wonderful, not the life you see on tv or the life you want someday...Your life, This moment! is wonderful!! :) http://zenhabits.net/perfect/

I GOT A CHAIR!!

I have some very exciting news :D :D I GOT A MASSAGE CHAIR! I am very happy with it. It was a steal of a deal and still in nice condition. Now we will be able to travel to fairs and other things to do demonstrations. How amazing is that eh??

God's Hand

I see God's hand in all I do. I just said goodbye to a friend who has chosen to take TWO years of his life and serve the Lord in Brazil! I see people around me following their hearts and being rewarded for it. I see LOVE coming back in style! Thank you Father in Heaven for bringing all this Glory and Goodness to my awareness!

God is A God of Miracles!

I would like to take a moment to say "Thank you God!" Wherever, Whoever, you are I say take a moment to praise that great God above. He loves us so much and constantly gives to us! I LOVE YOU BABY BUDDHA :)

Change...Still great though! :D

Alright so we have a BUNCH of awesome carpet. Instead of putting Hard Floors in now we put carpet in first because it just looked so good and we had it right then and there. So today we put the carpet down. OMG it looks so good. I love it. We are also getting ready to paint the office...hopefully we will do some of that tomorrow, who knows we might run out of time...Pretty exciting though :D :D :D

Still So Happy

HEY!! :D I had to get on and tell you all how amazing life is right now. I am, as you know, getting the building ready for opening. Well we just ripped out some carpet that we are going to replace with nice Hard Flooring! :D I am so super excited. Things are going really well. We actually just sat down tonight and made our "What is left to get done before we open" list. How fun was that! It was way cool. I love knowing that I am changing and moving and going to help make a difference in the World. Take care and always grab hold of opportunities to better yourself!

Energy? I am in charge??

Today I had an experience I wanted to share with y'all.
Ok So I have been learning so much about FEELING healthy and FEELING prosperous so I have been focusing on my feelings...Well today I was talking with a friend and they were being negative. I was extremely surprised how much their attitude effected me. I believe that we are all in control of ourselves and no one else can make us feel anything. It was interesting to me that I allowed all the energy and negativity to come into my circle that, minutes before, had been SO happy and excited and fresh. A lesson to myself to not eat up other peoples bad emotions.
So to rectify the situation I just started putting on awesome music and clearing some stuff out of my room. Anything to readjust my attitude. :D If your heart is in it, It always works!!

Sun Salutations

Today I awoke and did a session of Yoga! Wow there is such a difference in my Body, Mind, and Spirit when I take that hour or 45 minutes and dedicate it to myself. I feel rejuvenated and ready to address the tasks of the day. I do hope that you all are doing something in the morning, wither it be Yoga, Running, Meditation, to open your mind and get your engines started! :D God Bless!!!

TABLE TIME!!!

Great News! I got my table :D :D I am SO excited. It is a beautiful soft green. and OH so comfy! The day I had it home my sister came over and tried it out. I am excited, excited, excited...Oh wait I think I already said that lol ;) Love you tons. I will keep posting and updating as often as I can. Thanks again for the luv!

Slight Hang Up

Hey all so guess what...I thought I had passed all my tests at school (Because that is what my teachers told me) But there was a mix up so I have one more test, Major Bummer! It's all good though because I will go in Monday and get that taken care of. Man it really feels like I am swimming in Molasses with all of this.
I feel extremely blessed to be going into this adventure with my mother and having an amazing supportive father behind us. There is no greater feeling than when I am feel down and I look up and see my mother saying "Hey it's all good. The Lord is with you and you will succeed!" :D Go and thank your parents or the people in your life that are truly giving you the hope and faith to continue to chase your dreams!

YES I CAN - Christian Beadles ft. MarsRaps - Lyrics

This is an amazing kid doing what he can to change the world! Let's support him in making change :D

A Teaching Opportunity

Today I realized I am still human...What a shocker huh ;) So I was on my way to work but I hadn't eaten so I stopped at Burger King to get a croissant and orange juice. I kept making excuses as to why it was alright and not that bad for my body...Wow was I mistaken.
For those of you who understand Crohns disease I will just say ~ I has some serious Crohns repercussions ~ I let my pride and ignorance blind me. I am no better than anyone else. I am human and my body and spirit will react the same. If I bring bad food, spirit, mentality into my being then I will suffer.
I was embarrassed and didn't want to share this story but I think it is really important to know that we are all still learning and growing. It is my hope and mission to maybe help you learn more quickly than I am. I want to teach that walking in the light really is the way of happiness. I know this because I have been in the light and I have been in places that are not so light.
Thank you Lord Jesus for always being with me and helping me grow and learn from every experience. I praise your name! :D

Carpet...No Wait...PAINT!!

Apparently before Carpet you are supposed to do this thing called "Painting" ;) So today we are going out and picking out the perfect paint for our Office. No it will not be bright Pink or Pastel Yellow. Probably just a simple taupe or something soothing and simple like that. Walking in should be soft on the eyes and calming to the brain. That is what we are going for, calming, soft and soothing! Well I must now run to the store to sort through all the amazing paint options! Chao! :D

Carpet Time!

Today I worked in the room that will be designated as our Office! :D Clearing out, Cleaning up, and getting ready for CARPET!! I am super excited about the carpet we have. It is exactly the kind that I wanted. So now that the rooms ready for us to lay carpet down...well we should lay it down :D One step at a time and soon you have a great big Snow Man...at least that is what happened when I was little...now I guess I will have a business that focuses on helping people heal...same difference right? Both bring much joy!! :D

Clearing Out!

TOMORROW IS THE DAY!!! I am cleaning out our building. It is currently housing Costumes for a local theater group. Well tomorrow we are going through and packing them up. I am not sure where they are being sent but the important part is that with those out of the way we are one step closer to having our own Oasis out here in Tooele! :D
I wonder if I can put up pictures...? Hm....I will see if I can and then maybe I will put up some pictures of our progress. How wonderful! OH I almost forgot. A friend just got a business grant for her small business so I am going to talk to her and see if we can't get something for our set up.
Take Care, Live Long, Love With All Your Heart!

HEY THERE SUN!

Ok so I have decided that the sun should give cloud covering some serious thought!! WOW It was SO hot today. Walking in Salt Lake City in the ridiculous heat is not a good idea.
Maybe I should write the sun a letter? Hm...I would not want to hurt the sun's feelings because the sun can be very healthy for us. Wow I will need to tune into my diplomatic skills.
I love you all keep cool today. Drink lots of water and remember to take some time out for yourself ;)

YOUTUBE VIDEO IS UP!!

Alright so I finally got our first video uploaded onto YouTube! It is an Intro video of My mom and I saying Hello to all of you :D So go check it out it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_Ivuqwvo-o

A few people have commented to me on the blurryness, sorry about that. I will make sure that our next videos and clearer and better quality! :D Thanks so much for all the support :D

Things Move so Fast and Yet so Slow

Alright I would like to shout out to my Sis http://starspaperpassion.blogspot.com/ She keeps gettin' after me for not keeping y'all updated DAILY! I do apologize for the slow updates.

Things are going really well. It seems like things are taking forever but the work is all worth it. I just took my last tests at school and finished up my work study so I should be officially graduated and ready to take the State Massage Test in just a couple weeks. When that time comes I will apply to take the test, get a clearance paper saying I can schedule my test and then WOOSH!!

I am editing some videos that we put together for YouTube. We have an Intro video explaning what our channel is about and then an Intro to Yoga! :D I am very excited about getting those up to you guys. I know it is taking longer than hoped but hang in there with me!! :D

Lots of Love ~ Serenity

Darkness comes before Dawn

I have been having a really trying few days. As you may know I, Serenity, have Chrons Disease. For a good portion of this year I was incredibly healthy and happy. My life was full of wonder! I went to bed smiling and woke up excited.

Well I let my stress and fear get the better of me for a moment and now am smack in the middle of a Flare-Up. I have been doing a lot of personal reflection. I have come to realize that along with the pain comes fear and anger. I think that the ulcers in my stomach bring their own energy...that energy is panic, fear, anger...so now that I am realizing where my feelings are coming from and how to recognize my demons like sugar I am slowing trying to bring balance to my life and body.

I am grateful for all that I have been given in my life (Good experiences and Painful ones) I do hope that through seeing my journey and me sharing how I continually choose life, everyday that it will be of some help to those out there searching. Love you Tongs ~ Serenity

Home and Ready!

Alright Vacation time is over, Time to get back to work!! :D :D Good thing I love what I am doing. Ok so I am sorry that things have been taking so long to get started but we will be posting videos up on our Youtube Channel within this next week! :D It will be awesome so stay tuned to see those. I will keep you updated on The videos and how they are coming along. Thanks so much Love ya ;)

VACATION

Alright So I am done with School but I have been working Nose to Grind in Clinic and now it is time for a summer break. I am taking the Week off and just chilling with family! Taking time for ourselves is SO important. How can we help others if we are not helping ourselves? Remember to always take a moment to slow down every now and then. You can always speed back up later ;)

Sickness Does Not Conquer, God Does!

Wow, The past couple weeks has been really hard. I have been really sick. I know that when I get sick my attitude changes but sometimes I forget how much it can change if I am not watching myself. I have been so down and didn't even realize why.

I know that what I am doing is to serve God and he will help me through all of it! I will succeed in Service to God and that is what matters to me. As long as my priorities are straight I don't need to stress over my life. I just need to rise every morning and praise God for the opportunity to breath!

Our business plans are going well and still rolling. We are hoping to be up and running by September of this year :D How exciting! I am excited to start helping others heal and teach them the principles of Relying on God that I have learned through my path to healing.

LAST DAY!!

WOW, Today was my last day of classes! I still have a couple loose ends to tie up but I don't have any more class. I can now focus even more energy into Our wonderful Business!!! I am so excited to actually be at this point.

I realized today that fear is just part of the process and we can either decide that we can't do it because of our fears or inhibitions OR we can decide that no matter the inhibition or fear we are totally going on this ride...The Ride of Life! Once we make that choice then nothing can stop us from achieving our dreams!

Two More Weeks

Hey All! Alright so I have two more weeks of school...AHHH...It is so crazy. :D I have been cleaning and organizing our building and I just get more excited every day. We got a bunch of the City Building and Business regulations so now there is a better idea of how far we have to go and how to best get there.

We have also decided that we are going to hold weekend seminars and workshops. They will be there to help you get an idea of what you want from life and how to make it happen. I will be sure to keep you posted on when those will be coming up. Stay Strong! :D

Moving To Tooele

So, it is my last night in Bountiful! I am leaving back to Tooele so that I can better manage and help build up Find Your Eden. This week I am going to go in and get the information concerning Facility Requirements. As soon as we get that list we can begin to make ready our building.

The Birth of a Dream!

Well it has happened, Find Your Eden has begun. Mother and I went down today and bought the business name. Wow, it is all starting to unfold. In honor of this amazing project I have made this Blog so that I can take you along with us on the wonderful journey!
When I got home, after buying the business name, People around me inspired me to get other things started so I bought the domain findyoureden.net and made a Facebook, Twitter, and we also have a YouTube channel, all these are under findyoureden as well as an email findyoureden@gmail.com. I really feel like things are coming together. It is my dream becoming a reality and I can't express how unreal and amazing this all feels to me.
Hopefully This week we will be talking to the City to figure out what hoops we have to jump through to make our building up to code and ready for us. I graduate from Healing Mountain June 29th and can then apply to take the State Test, after I apply it takes about a month to get approval. So I am hoping to take the test late July early August.
That is why we are getting everything ready now so that we can start immediately after I am licensed.
