🥄 “How Many Spoons Do You Have Today?” 🩵

There’s a story I want to tell you…

Not about illness.
Not about diagnosis.
But about something we all feel… and often don’t have words for.

Imagine you wake up in the morning.

On your bedside table…
there’s a small pile of spoons.

🥄🥄🥄🥄🥄

That’s what you have for the day.

Each spoon represents energy.
Not just physical energy…
but emotional, mental, and nervous system energy too.

For some people,
they wake up with an entire drawer full.

They can get up, rush through the day, skip meals, push through stress…
and still have spoons left over.

But for others…

They wake up with just a handful.

🥄 Getting out of bed takes a spoon
🥄 Showering takes a spoon
🥄 Getting dressed takes a spoon
🥄 Driving, working, thinking, coping… each takes another

And suddenly…
before the day has even really begun…

The spoons are gone.

Now here’s the part people don’t see.

When your body is dealing with something like lymphatic congestion, inflammation, or chronic swelling…

It is already using spoons behind the scenes.

Quietly. Constantly.

Trying to move fluid.
Trying to clear waste.
Trying to regulate inflammation.
Trying to keep you functioning.

So when someone says:
“Why are you so tired?”
“Just push through”
“Try harder”

They don’t see that your body has already spent
half your spoons before you even opened your eyes.

🩵 And this is where the shift comes in…

What if your healing is not about doing more…

But about learning how to spend your spoons differently?

Maybe today looks like:

✨ Choosing rest without guilt
✨ Nourishing your body instead of restricting it
✨ Supporting your lymph, not forcing it
✨ Listening… instead of pushing

Because your body is not failing you.

It is working with what it has.

And every time you choose to support it…
instead of fight it…

You’re not losing strength.

You’re rebuilding it.

🌿 So I’ll ask you… gently

How many spoons do you have today? 🥄

And more importantly…

How can you use them in a way that
honours your body… instead of exhausting it? 🩵🦋

I've shared Mike's post before when it comes to healing your Limbic System
(fight/flight & rest/digest modes)
And he has taught on the Lymphatic System.

This series on water for our bodies will be a great source of knowledge! There will be a lot of free posts & a few you have to subscribe to.
Feel free to glean as much as you want!

I currently don't subscribe, but I am considering it.

The Hydration Terrain – Series Introduction: The Water That Powers Your Life

You have heard Mike talk about the four pillars of terrain: liver, gut, lymph, and nervous system.

The liver gets the most attention. The gut gets the second most. The nervous system is beginning to be understood.

But the water? The water is the medium through which everything else moves.

Your body is approximately 60% water. Your brain is 75% water. Your blood is 83% water. Your heart is 73% water. Even your bones are 31% water.

But here is what no one told you.

Not all water is the same. Not all water enters your cells. Not all water hydrates your terrain. And the water that comes out of your tap; or your reverse osmosis system.. may be the very thing keeping you dehydrated.

The water inside your body is not H₂O. It is H₃O₂ .. structured, ordered, viscous, charged. This is not the water that comes out of a bottle. This is the water your body creates from the water you drink, using energy from sunlight, infrared radiation, and cellular respiration.

When structured water breaks down, the bioelectric matrix collapses. Cells misfire. Mitochondria stall. Mutations spread. You can drink all the water in the world and still be dehydrated at the cellular level if your body cannot structure it.

The Hydration Terrain will be a 10‑part series – the deepest map of hydration ever published on this page. We will cover everything from structured water to mineral depletion, from reverse osmosis traps to the water in food, from aquaporins to the dehydration of aging, from metabolic water to the chronic inflammation connection.

THE FULL SERIES MAP

The Hydration Terrain is a 10‑part series with a subscriber cornerstone. We publish in order. Every part builds on the last.

· Part 1 (free): The Water That Powers Your Life – structured water, H₃O₂, why babies are supple and the elderly are stiff.

· Part 2 (free): The Minerals That Make Water Wet – electrolytes, the sodium‑potassium pump, and why demineralised water fails your cells.

· Part 3 (subscribers): Reverse Osmosis – The Pure Water Trap – how demineralised water leaches minerals from your body and leaves you more dehydrated than before.

· Part 4 (free): The Water in Food – why fruits and vegetables hydrate better than water alone, and how traditional diets kept people hydrated without water bottles.

· Part 5 (subscribers): Aquaporins – The Gates of Cellular Hydration – the channel proteins that let water into cells, and what happens when the gates are blocked.

· Part 6 (free): The Dehydration of Aging – why you lose structured water as you age, and how to slow the process.

· Part 7 (subscribers): The Water Your Body Makes – metabolic water, cellular respiration, and why you are not just what you drink.

· Part 8 (subscribers): Thirst, Hunger, and Confusion – why chronic dehydration masquerades as hunger, fatigue, and anxiety.

· Part 9 (free): The Chronic Inflammation Connection – how cellular dehydration drives inflammation, and why hydrating the terrain calms the fire.

· Part 10 (subscribers): The Complete Hydration Terrain Map – the subscriber‑only cornerstone article. Everything from all 10 parts drawn into one unified map. A full case study. What your doctor has not put together for you.

The first free part – Part 1: The Water That Powers Your Life – publishes tomorrow.

If you have ever felt thirsty no matter how much you drink, struggled with dry skin, brain fog, stiff joints, or fatigue that does not lift, this series is for you. If you have ever wondered why you feel dehydrated even when you are drinking water all day, this series will answer that question.

Subscribe for $10 a month to access the deep‑mechanism parts and the cornerstone article that puts the whole map together.

The water in your cells has been waiting to be understood. It begins now.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE sharing inspirational stories such as this one!

Selfcare, Relaxation & INSPIRATION
comes in MANY forms!!!

My dear friend Renea Curatti Gonzalez was on her way for her monthly massage appointment just a few short months ago, when the idea for this new craft adventure started forming ~

Sometimes her hour of bliss on my table is spent in complete silence as I fill her pitcher so she can be off and pouring into others afterwards.....

Other times
(such as the day she spoke about in this article)
We collaborate, daydream, pray or chat about whatever is on our mind.....

I remember this day like it was yesterday!!!!

And when she called me a few days after her massage to share how God dropped this building in her lap, it reminded me of how

He dropped MY MASSAGE BUSINESS in my lap!!!!

Click on the article below, and
Enjoy a good short read, then share the information with those crafters in your life that may love this sweet little store as much as the rest of us!

When Joann stores closed across the country, many fiber artists found themselves wondering where they would buy the yarn brands they had relied on for years.

Sipping my Sunrise Mocktail outside
this lazy Saturday morning as I enjoy my new favorite "hobby" of sitting & listening to the birds...

AND the neighbor's Rooster!! 🐓😊

I actually crave this drink!!!!
(I even had it as a "Sunset" Mocktail last night!😉)

It's refreshing and the perfect way to start
(or end😁)my day....

But I must admit, getting to slow down and savor it on the weekends encourages me to a exhale, relax my shoulders and downshift my mindset to a more comfortable pace that workdays just don't allow🙃
