Learning how to accept change

image

This picture is so appropriate for what I am feeling, right now.  I have so much going on in my head right now, it feels like it is going to explode.  I decided I hate change.  Then my brain says, no you don’t!  It’s the only thing that you can really count on in life, is that nothing stays the same.

As some of you know who have been following me on here, I lost my Grandma last Christmas Day.  My Uncle had been watching over her all these years.  Now that she’s gone, my Uncle needs to go back up to be near his children up there, so they can help him.

So they came down over the weekend and lets just say, they walked into a nightmare.  I don’t think they had any idea, that without Grandma, he collected every newspaper, every little thing.  So it’s a really good thing, that they are taking him up there, to Rockford where my Grandma and Grandpa are buried so we don’t go through what we did with Grandma.  Long Story

OK, so the silver lining in all this is that, as cousins, we have reconnected in a way that only change like this can bring about.  It is amazing, and I’m sure that the elders are happy that this new relationship with each other has come back around.  Feels just like being kids again, sitting around the table at dinner the other night.  My cousin commented on how much my daughter April looks like me and it was so sweet.  They hadn’t had a chance to meet my family in a long time.  Too long for most of the kids to even remember, let alone my grandkids.

Anyway, I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank them for their efforts to come down, close up the appartment, and take him back up with them.  I know this was a difficult task, and as we all get older, let’s use this as a time to refect and renew relationships that have been left unattended.

Our elders had a reunion every year, and now I see why.  When we all got together again, even though it was surrounding a funeral, it was great.  I know I can hear some people going, well duh, but the family was so fragmented because of situations and greed between older than us sibblings, that it was extremely toxic.

Now that it’s better, it is wonderful.  I wish my cousins the best of luck and I will offer to help in anyway I can.  Here’s the I hate change thing again, it feels like I’m losing my Grandma all over again, because my Uncle, the ornery guy he is, I love him so much and hate to see him go.

So please, life is short.  Please put aside your differences in family matters, because hanging on to all that does, manifest itself in your body.  I’m speaking from watching others, because I learned a long time ago, to just let the shit go, like one of my other posts I wrote.

So say a little prayer for them so they have safe travels home, and my Uncle adjusting to his new life.  Thanks again for reading this.  Till next time…

Hello, talking about Periscope…

Just a quick note to say hello.  I have been very busy learning Periscope, see one of my posts.  I would like to say, probably one of the most disturbing things I have seen on it, well first if you don’t know what it is.

It is an app you put on your phone, and you can watch live broadcasts, any thing from learning how to Periscope, with my favorite, @AlexPettitt.  Follow him, he is not only funny but an amazing teacher.

The disturbing thing I’ve seen is periscoping and driving.  I feel it is as bad as texting and driving.  One girl was scoping and was drunk, to top it off.  First what an idiot, but second dangerous.  They did pick her up btw, we will see what happens from that.

I’m sure that the people doing it have their phone secure and think it is fine.  But as the viewer, I can assure you that their eyes are constantly looking at the screen, to make sure they can see what people are responding to, and if they are getting hearts, which is how you show your appreciation or likes, if you will.  This post is in a quick type format, as I don’t have time to go back and make sure I spelled everything correctly.  (Some one brought that to my attention, and I’m not writing a book, if I was, I would hire a publisher.)

Anyway, that’s my take for the day.  Going to go to the casino with my lovely daughter tonight so wish me luck.  I go in with a 20.00 and that’s it.  No worries here.  I like my money too much to just go giving it away.  If I were to do that, I’m sure many of you would like to get into that line, right?

Ok so, go, have a great night, what ever you chose to do with it.  Oh and don’t forget to subscripe to my blog, and visit my website alkalizingyourwater.com and sign up for the free E-book.  I’d like it if you read it, but really, that lets me know you’ve been to the site.  Otherwise I only see you as a number, not a name.  I really appreciate you reading my blog.  Until next time,  drink lots of water.  Your Body needs it.  Like Enagics saying, Change your Water, Change your Life.   Christy

WalMart lays off 450 workers, NOW WHAT?

imageSorry about the s word, but this post is so appropriate for the picture.  450 workers are waking up today and thinking, NOW WHAT!

image image

I totally understand that it’s WalMarts right to let go of people the feel they don’t need.  It’s coming up on Holiday Time.  Maybe they decided they could hire, part timers to do your job.  It may or may not have anything to do with you or Obamacare!  We may never know.  Here’s the deal.

Let it go.  For the 450 people, let me address you for a minute.  And please, if you know of someone who is part of the 450, forward this on to them.  I can’t guarantee it will make them feel better, but it just might. We don’t know.

Ok, so time to think about you.  What do you want to do with the rest of your life?  Some of you got some pretty good severance packages.  Others not so much.  Even with a good one, you have some decisions to make, and soon, because that money won’t last long.  I’m not talking to you go getters, I know you will be fine.  I’d like to invite you to join my team of partners who are helping others lives, creating True Health.  Contact me if you’d like to hear more.

Im blogging right now on Tuesday Morning from my Tub, at 8:49 am.  I make money even when I sleep.  That’s what you want to find for yourself, because as we age, I’m a baby boomer, and would have a heck of a time trying to find a job at my age.  Quite frankly, I wouldn’t even want one, I’m almost 60 with probably more than 40 years to live since my Grandma lived till 104.  I’m so grateful for the ones who brought me the opportunity to make a wonderful living, no matter how old I get.  I can even leave my business to my grandkids when I die.  Doesn’t get much better than that.

Now, for others who think they need to find another JOB, please make a list of anything you would enjoy doing, and set out to do that.  Work isn’t work when you’re doing what your purpose in life is.  You have a short window with which to do this, or you will find yourself in extreme desperation and that’s not a pretty sight.  I don’t want that for anyone.  Everyone can do what I’m doing, so please, if you try to get that JOB and can’t find one, just know, I’ll be here ready to help.  Not do anything for you, but to help you do what needs to be done.  I believe in you.  You have value, or WalMart would not have hired you in the first place.

Now might be the perfect time to move to that area, that you’ve always wanted to move to.  I have people who are in other countries, who are doing what I do.

What about moving closer to those Grandkids, you are far away from?  Or the aging parents who would love you to live closer so that you can visit much more often.  I can help with that too.  It makes no difference where you decide to do my business, and if not mine, find one like it, although we have a patented compensation plan that is second to none.

In final closing out of this post, best of Luck to you, no matter what your future holds.  I have a feeling you are not going to be alone.  There are going to be companies all over America, getting ready to do the same thing.  They have to in order to keep the company alive for the masses.  Keep your head up, attitude in check and consider this a new day with unlimited possibilities.  Getting bitter serves no one, so like the opening picture says, let Shit Go!

How to use Periscope

 

OK, This puts me more than words on a blog, but now you get a glimps of me up close and personal.  I did a periscope, and it’s a lot scarier being live, because there are no do overs.

One word of caution about Periscope is that if your young children are on with their friends, others can join.  I happened to catch a group and she was showing how she puts her makeup on.  A couple of guys came on and they were saying things like flash your tits, and are you a virgin?  She didn’t know how to block the boys, so she just quit.  Good girl, Btw.

So, I suggest you watch some others, before attempting to do one yourself.  Michael Hyatt is a great one to watch, and some others, I will blog next time.  Right now, I just wanted to get a few pointers out there for thought.

If you want to watch some live, press the globe on the bottom or top, depending on your phone.  You will see red dots with numbers in them.  That’s how many broadcasts are live at any given moment.  I was able to watch a food festival in Denmark, they were having a blast.  Red dot, no number means just one live broadcast.

I think that if you are looking to make some new friends, or prospects, it is an awesome venue for that.  I’ve had my granddaughter McKenna this weekend, so I haven’t had much time to play with it.  Mommy and Daddy come home tonight.

She’s looking forward to their return since they were gone during Daddy’s birthday and can’t wait for Mommy to make him his birthday cake.  She accidentally hung up on him so we made this little video for him.

 

She is one of my Grandkids.  I have many.  Never a dull moment at the Anderson house!

Till next time… Thanks for reading my blog

Live and let Live

Ok, so I haven’t had much time to blog lately.  I’ve been really busy, but thats not really a good excuse.  I havent had much exciting to blog about.  NO, thats not true either.  I’ve had alot to blog about.  Just to busy to do it.  NO More Excuses.

I’m blogging today because you may find this funny.  Yesterday, I saw a wasp in my bathroom.  I didn’t do anything about it.  In hindsight, that was a big mistake.

I always have felt that if you remain calm and don’t swing at them, shush them away or generally freck out over their presents they will leave you alone.  I do not get alarmed if one is near me.

Ok, so last night, getting ready for bed, I got in, and started pulling the covers over me.  All in a matter of seconds, the wasp was inbetween my legs and the covers, stinging my leg, several places.  I reached down to swish him off my leg and he stung my finger.  He was gone now, but where did he go?  I know I didn’t kill him.  It was a terrible thing, hurting in so many places.

I was up off and on all night thinking about the wasp.  Didn’t want to get stung again, or step on him.

In the morning, we find the wasp on a towel, drapped over the bathtub.  Bryan starts looking around for something to kill it with.  My first reaction was to pick up my hair brush, and kill it for the little sucker stinging me. On the way to kill it, I had a change of heart.  He didn’t do it on purpose.  I scared him, and he didn’t mean to hurt me.  So I asked Bryan to open the sliding glass door, I picked up the towel he was on, and took him outside.  I said, be free, and he flew away.

Bryan said I was the only women he knew that would release a wasp after being stung.  Am I crazy or what?  I feel all creatures have a purpose, just not in my house.

Periscope for Twitter

image

Wishing everyone a fantastic weekend as we start to slide into fall here.  This week has been a learning one again.

If you havent heard of the new Periscope app, its kinda cool.  It downloads onto your cell phone.  Has both platforms, iphone, and android.  The app for the Ipad has terrible reviews, so best to stick with the phone.

It seems to be connected to Twitter.  My Twitter ID is @ChristyAnd72756.  I’m on there, but not sure how to add new people, because when it started, it asked me if I wanted to add all my followers, and I didn’t really want to wait around for it to add 1300+ people.  So, I picked a few and went on.

Don Prosser, a Master Trainer with Enagic, is how I was introduced to it.  He is going to put a training class on there.  As we found out later, the session only stays on there for 24 hrs and then gets deleted.  Kinda like a snap chat right?  Wrong.  You have to delete the video within a 24 hr period OR the session is considered Periscopes property, which then they can republish, edit as they like.  So, in my opinion, its a great tool, as long as you remember to delete the session, before the 24 hrs is up.

Another problem with it is, having too many people on it watching at one time.  If you don’t get in early, you won’t be able to chat to the presenter.  Not a real big deal, but thats part of the fun.  It’s a fun way to interact with the person doing the session.  A couple of them moved around alot and could make the person watching, sea sick.  So if you’re thinking of using Periscope, keep that in mind while filming.

I’m thinking of trying it, but it won’t be till next week sometime because I have my Granddaughter McKenna this weekend.

Also, I’ve been working on YouTube this week.  You can find me by putting in my name, Christy Anderson.  Once my name comes up, you have to move right till you find me.  I have put some webinars put on by Rhonda and Ron Gessner on there about Enagic, the company and its products.  Awesome webinars!  I also included a couple of videos by Nutritional Consultant Shan Stratton, who speaks on the importance of Alkaline living.  In my playlist, which I don’t know if a visitor can see my playlist or not, but some really good information in there, especially the list of what Drs have to say about it.  If you decide you want to order something, please make sure you call me, or go to my website to purchase.  www.alkalizingyourwater.com

So if you get a chance this weekend, check out my YouTube channel.

Also, prayers and thoughts go out to all those who lost loved ones on this anniversary of 9/11.  Hence Peanuts giving out hugs.  That day changed all of our lives, even if you didn’t lose a loved one.  I remember crying watching TV that morning and the weeks following.  My heart still aches for everyone who lost loved ones.

So, with that, get out there, enjoy life, it’s short and precious!

Life and where it leads us

image

 

As many of you know, I am one of those greatful Grandparents.  Each one is different and unique.

My Grandson Alex, 14 was accepted into the Rogers Heritage Baseball team.    The coach he’s had for the last several years has been hard, firm, encouraging, and all around a great coach.  I appreciate Coach Paul and others like him so much.  In life we all need mentors, someone in our field, or just someone that inspires you.

People have asked me, why do people read your blog.  My answer is, I don’t really know. lol  I guess, for some, it helps pass the time of day. (I’ve heard that before)  My blog started out as just something fun to do, and it made my time go by quickly, while I was going through the loss of my Mom and my Grandma, and quite possibly the passing of my Dad as well, since his health is not so good either.  His birthday is September 6, and he will be 80.  He’s decided to live that long, and he will see after that.  I told him, to make sure I get the memo if he decides to check out after that.  Really?  Life doesn’t work like that.

Back to the grandchildren though, they truly are the best part of life.  They can make you absolutey melt when they say something that is just so cute, you don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

I wish we could skip the parent stage and move right on into the GrandParent  stage.  We are much better equiped to handle things, being older.

I had McKenna (3) overnight last night, and of course, she doesn’t want to sleep in the bed we have for her here, she looks at me and says very softly, I love you Grandma and I’m going to miss you when I have to go home to Mommy and Daddy.  Of course I said I’m going to miss you too!  I didn’t tell her I wasn’t going to miss the bed hog that she is.

One day not too long ago, we had a lot of the grandkids over and Alex said of the two little girls arguing, Oh geez, Grandma!  I laughed and said “Really Alex?”  He was the worst one as a little kid, but I still loved him so much.   Little did we know, he had allergies, that caused horibble outbursts.  Growing up and starting into the school age, teachers wanted him to be on Meds.  I’m so glad his Mommy and Daddy were on the same page and decided not to.  They were told he was ADD and ADDHD or whatever.  They decided to have him on the Feingold diet instead.  If you are a parent are dealing with this situation, please please look into the Feingold Association.  www.feingold.org

I personally have seen kids, in 3 days be a totally different child once you get all the food coloring, preservatives, etc out of their little brains.  It’s a little stressful at first when you are learning what they can and can’t eat, but so worth it, when it becomes second nature.  And trust me, you will know when they have eaten something they shouldn’t.  It will take about 24 to 48 hours to get it back out of their system.  I will do another blog on this later.  My daughter used to feel bad and say things like she felt she was a bad mother.  I said OH NO YOUR NOT, YOUR SON IS ALIVE!  Other parents might have killed him. lol

My children, through marriage, also made me a Great Grandma.  I’m only 59 and didn’t appreciate that too much, in the beginning,  It’s ok though, because they are awesome.  I hear complaints sometimes from people that FaceBook has way too many pictures of kids.  I disagree.  The kids are the future, and I love looking and watching them grow up.

I recently had the pleasure of watching a little 6 month old for a week.  My daughter called me and asked if I would watch her while the parents were looking for another babysitter.  OMG, she was so cute.  I enjoyed every minute.  It took all my strengh to be able to let her go.  Since I live quite far away from them, it wasn’t practical for them to have me watch her on a full time basis.  While I was holding her on the last day, I was thinking how funny it was that I was watching the daughter of a little girl who used to play at my house after school.  And that God had arranged my life at that moment in time to be able to say YES!

Visit to Hot Springs, Arkansas for FLW

image

Hot Springs is Amazing!  I’m sure you’re wondering why the three cups above, but I will get to that in a minute.

We went to Hot Springs, Arkansas because TowMate had a booth in the FLW, for wireless, waterproof lights, being featured for trailers, canoes, and kayaks.  It was the first of many to come, in this field.

Normally when we do a trade show, I get absolutely no time with Bryan, because everyone wants to talk with him.  In the fishing industry, we were the unknown.

Since I’m not into fishing, at all, except for the fish I caught in New Zealand.  My one and only, but I digress, I couldn’t tell you if someone who was somebody was standing right next to me, or passing me down the hall.  I felt like a fish out of water.

The FLW is a BIG deal, and I met a lot of really nice people there.  We had our guys who LOVE the fishing end of things running the booth so Bryan and I could get away and go explore Hot Springs.

Hot Springs is especially interesting to me since the towns claim to fame is it’s underground springs.  On average, 700,000 gallons are collected from the springs every day at an average temperature of 143 degrees.  I of course am no different, so I brought some home as well.

I tested the PH balance of the water in the picture above.  The picture on the left is just tap water.  The greenish color represents about 7 ph which is what water in the United States must be by Law.  The cup in the middle is about a 8 ph which would explain why people used to go to Hot Springs for the “healing waters”.  The cup on the right is a water out of the Kangen Water Machine which was a  9.5 ph.  The Kangen Water also tested positively for antioxidents, which the Hot Springs water and the tap water did not.  The tap water had chlorine in it and the Hot Springs water and the Kangen Water did not.

I am so happy that our Kangen water tests even better than the Hot Springs Water did.  That means that everyone could have the benefits of the water right in your own home, every day, by purchasing a Kangen Water Machine.  Talk about True Health?

I personally feel better than I have in my whole life.  I woke up every morning in pain, and I no longer do that.  It didn’t happen over night mind you, but every day, just got a little better and a little better.

Why not get a machine for your whole family to try and enjoy these beneficial waters?  I can tell you that if you do, you won’t regret it.  What are you waiting for?

You know how much bottled water costs, and I assure you that if you stop buying bottled water, you will be able to afford the water machine. If you need help with credit call me.  I can help  Or just go online and order a machine today.  The website has machines of all price ranges.  I recommend the K8, or the SD501, because they have the most antioxidants, but don’t let that stop you, if you can’t afford it. They do have other models.

Don’t do like I did, when a friend told me about it 7 years ago.  I had to have the biggest and the best or none at all.  Silly, because my body could have started fixing itself, a long time ago.  I’m just glad that when another friend presented Kangen water to me, I wasn’t going to let it pass me up again.  Go now, don’t wait… click here to go to website

This trip was a real eye opener for me.  Please help me to spread the word to others who need the water, to improve their health.

If their need is financial, this companies compensation plan is second to none.  Please ask me, and I will gladly share how you can have healthy finances as well as a healthy body.

Again, thanks for reading my Blog.
