1. Quote I love…
“If you want to hide the divine from a human being, the best place is to hide it within them. They’ll look everywhere else for it.” – Dr. Joe Dispenza
I was listening to the second part of a two-part podcast with Dr. Joe Dispenza, and that was a line that stopped me in my tracks. I paused the podcast, got a piece of paper, backed it up, and wrote it down. Reminded me that what we long for and crave is right there within us. So true and so powerful!
2. Something that continues to baffle me…
Dr. Fauci, and now the World Health Organization (WHO), have publicly stated that all they know right now is that the current vaccines may prevent mild to severe symptoms, and that there is no evidence that they will prevent you from getting the virus or prevent the spread of the virus. So… if the vaccine only reduces symptoms, but does not reduce getting or transmitting the virus, then how does it make sense to mandate such a thing? If there are benefits with these vaccines, and those benefits are limited to only the person getting it, then why wouldn’t that choice be left up to the individual? I believe that if you want to get the vaccine, you should have every right to, but anyone being mandated to get it seems so strange (and unscientific). I keep wondering if I am missing something here. On New Year’s Day, Dr. Fauci has also stated that the government would possibly introduce “COVID-19 vaccine passports,” making the vaccine mandatory in some cities, counties, businesses, and schools. Wow! And in a WHO press conference on December 28, 2020 (just last week!), their chief scientist and pediatrician, Soumya Swaminathan, MD, said this (I underlined the part that jumped out at me):
“We continue to wait for more results from the vaccine trials to really understand whether the vaccines, apart from preventing symptomatic disease and severe disease and deaths, whether they’re also going to reduce infection or prevent people from getting infected with the virus, then from passing it on or transmitting it to other people. I don’t believe we have the evidence on any of the vaccines to be confident that it’s going to prevent people from actually getting the infection and therefore being able to pass it on.”
Those that want to get it should be able to get it, and those that do not want to get it should absolutely be able to decline it. If you love the idea of getting the vaccine, just know that others getting it has no effect on your safety and well-being. And if you are being mandated to get it, I believe there are VERY GOOD reasons to question why. Almost everyone that hears this information is surprised to find out that the vaccines only reduce symptoms, do not prevent you from getting the virus, and do not prevent the spread of the virus. Give that some thought. I am not telling you what to do, or trying to convince you of anything, just sharing information that caught my attention and surprised me. I am baffled!?!
3. Mistake I made over the holidays…
I’m guessing people either wonder how I handle the holidays food-wise or assume that I do very well. WRONG! I let go a bit just like everyone else. It’s the holidays, so I indulge and enjoy. I do eat the cookies and the candy, and tend to eat more than I should. Three things I am conscious of… (1.) I try to eat one or two cookies or pieces of candy, not five or ten. This way I still get to taste the goodness, without overdoing it. (2.) I try to fully enjoy what I am eating, and try not to beat myself up over it. Telling yourself how bad something is while eating it ruins the joy of eating it. (So… titling this Friday’s Finding “Mistake I made” is inaccurate, because I do not look at it like a mistake.) (3.) I still abide by the 90/10 rule in which most of what I eat is healthy, nutritious, and good for me. I actually do this most of the year. Truth be told, I probably slip to 80/20 during the holidays. Still not terrible. Okay, okay… maybe 70/30 some days. Haha! The key is to get back on track!
