For the last 3 days, I have been majorly excited. Actually I’m experiencing different emotions: Shock, awe, behooved, disbelief, excitement…did I say awe? I am an awesome person! I love the word awesome! Food is awesome! Foods from the earth has done and still  is doing, awesomeness to my body.  I have been eating more than the usual fruits and vegetables for the last four months. Fruits and vegetables make up approximately 60 -70% of my diet.

Why am I in total awe? For the last couple of years I have been suffering from endometriosis/adenomyosis/fibroids. I had extremely painful monthly cycles. A year ago, I had a surgical procedure to remove the endometriosis and adenomyosis. I was fine for about 2 months and really thought that I was cured UNTIL, the same problems recurred. For the last year, each and every single month I was bed ridden for AN ENTIRE WEEK. My body was riddled with constant pain. Let me tell you, I do not wish this level of pain on anyone. I felt as if I was giving birth. Yes I can definitely say that it was comparable to labor pains.

The surgeon insisted that I remove my uterus. Thank God for giving me a mind of my own. People you DON’T have to give in to your doctor’s advice. DO YOUR RESEARCH! Anyway, I refused to have my uterus remove. I had undergone several surgeries in the past (I am a cancer survivor). I had read so much about others who won their medical battles by simply changing their eating habits. I decided to do the same. I have limited the amount of processed foods from my diet and have incorporated whole foods from the earth. I eat so much foods from the earth, that I don’t even crave the processed garbage that I was accustomed to eating before. I feel so much better since I have begun my journey to eating and living a healthier lifestyle.

So back to the original question…why am I in total awe? I am blessed! Blessed to be an inspiration to others. Blessed that I can tell my story and encourage others to eat healthier. Blessed because I am not riddled with pain each month anymore. Blessed because I don’t have to be confined to a bed for one week out of each month, for the rest of my life. Devil you have no power over me! I refuse to have you control my life and my health.

I know for a fact that my health and strength comes from the Lord. I know that it was God that ordered my every steps; from creating my fan page, to researching and educating myself. It was God’s plan for me to develop a passion for food, so that I would be well equipped to take care of myself and my family, especially my grandma. Thank God for giving me a garden called the EARTH.

So I will drink to my success, and the success of my health with a glass of  Watermelon Pineapple Smoothie. It’s natural and it’s good for me. I will continue to drink all my fruits. No more concentrated bottled foolishness from off the shelves of the supermarket. There is no sugar added to this smoothie. Trust me when I say, you will not miss the sugar. The lemons heightens the flavor so much, that it will have you saying with an attitude: “what sugar?”
