Unpredictable

October 17, 2009 eating disorders

Thank you all for your warm regards towards my church member back in Virginia. His nutrition IV has been pulled as of last night, and for now, all we can do is wait…My father has already visited him many times, and the reassuring thing is how peaceful the man is… Life is so…unpredictable. My mom [...]

A Gift

October 15, 2009 God

The Real Natural Diet

October 7, 2009 eating disorders

“You’ve gotta eat your vegetables.” Everybody has heard and known this since they were a toddler. For those of us who were lucky enough to have parents who cared, we’ve had broccoli and spinach and peas stuffed down our throat since young. Our parents deviously slipped carrots guised under some cheesy sauce, or cunningly cut [...]
