When everybody’s sick but I’m bound and determined not to be. We have morning vitamins, we have night time vitamins and guess which ESSENTIAL vitamin is in both groups?

Fun fact: viruses and bacteria do not multiply and replicate in cold weather. Have you ever noticed how cold they keep hospitals? They do that for a reason. HOWEVER, the sun is the largest source of D2 we can get. We have to have D2 so it can be synthesized into D3. Unless you are on a D3 supplement right now, you are deficient. Even if you are still outside quite a bit, with your skin covered and bundled up, you aren’t getting what you need. YALL better get y’all some D3. From what I’m seeing, it’s flu and… COVID season.

(If you take a multivitamin, you still need extra D3… the D3 in the multivitamin isn’t going to cut it. You can take 5,000 iu of vitamin D3 a day. You are not getting that from any food source). I love this brand because it’s clean label cerified. The only thing I don’t like is that some of the products have sunflower seed oil. It’s the worst ingredient on the list. Other than that, it’s pretty kosher (I also like that it expires… like, within a reasonable amount of time. It does not have a 10 yr shelf life… which means it doesn’t have as many preservatives as many do).

Christmas peptalk from Mustard Seeds:

Whether you are grieving the physical loss of a loved one, or you are a caregiver constantly in a state of chronic grief, spending the holiday in the hospital with yet another procedure, and childhood experience stolen by a chronic condition, or you’ve added another complication to your pile, reliving the initial diagnosis, allow yourself time to feel it. Acknowledge how it manifests. Holding/hiding your grief causes your cortisol to rise, and when stress consumes, it leaves little gifts like inflammation, autoimmune flareups, and other physical and mental health complications, including a break down in your immune system.

Find time to grieve, but let’s not get stuck there. Find the joy in the journey, soak up the right now, and find the blessing in whatever storm you’re facing. There are little blessing in every single day. If we are too busy avoiding the grief, we might miss the blessings of today. Let’s intentionally be in the moment, so we can soak them all up. If grief teaches us anything, it’s that time is the most valuable gift. Let’s make a pact to not stay stuck regretting the past or worrying about the future, but instead, enjoying the here and now.

Find time for self care, meditation and breath work (there’s an online class for that… you can PM me for details 😆🤪). Otherwise, 2023 has been rough… let’s kick it to the curb and get ready for 2024… I bet it’s going to be interesting, to say the least. Let’s make it a year of healing. 🙃
