I was a chronic first-thing-after-waking-up coffee drinker for probably 20 years. I didn’t think anything of walking from my bedroom straight to the stove to start boiling water for my French press. I thought that was “healthy” - especially since my coffee was organic. Little did I know the abuse I was putting my gut through, spiking stress hormones and increasing stomach acid.
When I hit my 40s, my body rebelled against my routine. I switched my morning drink to meat broth about 3 years ago. I learned from Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride (GAPS diet) that meat broth is better for beginners than bone broth because it has fewer histamines. Bone broth is still highly nutritious because the longer simmering time produces a high mineral content, once you've begun healing your gut with meat broth and your body tolerates it.
I still drink matcha or coffee but never first thing. I no longer “get right to work” while the kids are still sleeping. I start my day in silent communion with God, and then drink broth while watching the sun rise over the chicken coop. Trading coffee and efficiency for nutrient-dense broth and stillness has done more to heal years of chronic stress-related health issues than any Rx or supplement ever could.
Our farrier is such a good sport. While he was out trimming Sassy, Jack stuck a cricket up his pant leg. Somehow it traveled all the way up his pants! 🙈

This is my second year as pooper scooper for our 4H riders in the Veterans Day Parade. We had less poop this year but it was a lot hotter so we were grateful for less work. Happy Veterans Day!
If you pick up poop daily like I do, I like to keep my joints strong with the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts which is a great food-based supplement to increase intake of vitamins A, D & K as well as anti inflammatory omega 3s. I used to get chronic cavities and that problem ended when I made this part of my daily routine 15 years ago. You get 10% off at check out with promo code “ALISON”. https://greenpasture.org/
Poor Carla! Just a chicken trying to take a fall nap on a leather ottoman under a cozy blanket.
Don’t forget to prepare for less sunlight and vitamin D by heading to @greenpastureproducts and grabbing their fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil. The vitamin K in the butter oil helps your bones absorb the vitamin D. Both oils mixed together are the secret - nutrient dense food based supplement for winter. It saved my teeth from chronic cavities. You get 10% off with “ALISON” as your promo code. https://greenpasture.org/

The Truth of how to break down the Mental Isolation of who we believe runs our Country to how we believe about another religion or each other.
This evidence based discussion is great to hit the truths. Again I ask: Set aside the emotions, and attachments to what we know or what we think we know so the information sinks in... with how the mess is designed that we are in.
This discussion is better designed than how my discussions in our Chats has been.
If you don't like Ian... watch it anyway. This discussion truly does matter !!!! With this approach the barriers can be unshackled.
