About Me

My photo
I am a fun loving mom and wife to my wonderful husband, Ted. We were married 25 years ago in 1985. I saw him, and I picked him up. He was wearing a tag that read "AS IS, No Refunds or Returns". I fell in ♥ love and took him home! We have five...count 'em FIVE sons that are going to make some amazing husbands one day! That's because I am trying to teach them the necessities of life and preparing them for the "push" out of the nest when they will learn to fly on their own. Of course, they might not think it's such a great idea to be pushed, until they realize what it is like to SOAR on your own strength! I work at home and maintain my BLOG space as best and regularly as I can! My passion in life is to be a listening ear and gentle answer to those who have been beat up, disillusioned, torn down and tossed away in life. I know the pains that life and other people's choices can bring you, and I also know what you need to "pick you up" when you feel hopeless!

Day Two...quick update...

Okay, this is day two -- and not the same, uneventful, experience as I had yesterday!

I decided to brush my teeth BEFORE the pull, knowing that it would likely be harder to palate that sesame oil if my mouth was fresh and clean -- it was! I had also read about putting drops of tea tree or peppermint essential oil in it for either taste or medicinal. Those who know me best, know that I LOVE Tea Tree oil, so that was my choice. I busied myself and suddenly a small drop of the oil got back in my throat -- it caught me by surprise and the gag reflex was instant!

I ran to the toilet and spit -- it had only been 2 minutes, and when I tried to regain my composure, I was faced with a little phlegm that was "teasing" my uvula and would not let go (sorry to be so graphic). SO, finally able to choke it out, I braved the oil and did it again. This time completing 15 minutes. There's been a bit of a loosening of mucus (I think) in my chest and nose a bit runny... a sign, I suppose, that the detox has begun!

Teeth are smooth as glass and I can't believe how fast acting the oil is on the plaque. You know how your teeth can almost "cut" or pinch your tongue when you have a good cleaning? All the spaces between your teeth are so fresh and perfect. Well, after only 2 oil pulling sessions I am thrilled to say I DON'T FEAR my next cleaning!!!
