102 Years Old Woman “I am Marvelous”

102 years old: MILLIE BAILEY
“I am Marvelous” by Shiloh Sophia

“Today I choose.
I have chosen to be the queen of my kingdom.
To name me as the ruler of my life.
I will not wait for the approval of others.
I choose to listen to this big heart within me.
I have chosen to occupy this space in this Universe.
I don’t keep my gifts hidden any longer.
I don’t allow fear to hinder my greatness.
I have chosen to be as wonderful as I truly am.
I don’t judge myself for the path I have not yet taken, or for the way I have behaved so far.
I choose to forgive myself and release the old stories
to make room for new stories, for legends to emerge.
I will not abandon my dreams and visions.
I will think with my thoughts.
I chose to fall in love with who I am, as I am, right now.
To embrace the messy and wonderful world inside of me.
I won’t diminish my light, one more day. You hear me now.
I let go of the shadows. I open my hands. I open my heart.
I choose to see myself, and to be seen by you too.
I choose to see myself as everything, holy, worthy, and wildly me.
This is more than enough. I chose to be scandalous!
Being Wonderful is not a defect.
It’s a choice.

You hear me now.
Are you ready for this? I am. Today I choose.
I have chosen to be Wonderful!”
– Shiloh Sophia

5 Crazy Diets That Make You Lose Weight or Not LOL Have Fun!

crazy diets dra martha castro noriega tijuana mexico

There is no great secret to lose weight. Small portions, healthy delicious meals and daily physical activity, in other words: avoid sedentarism.

We all know that, right? But many people want that “miracle” diet that is going to make us lose a ton of pounds/kilograms in 5 or 10 days and never gain it -the weight- back! 

So, to have some fun, I have searched on the web for some crazy diets that people do. Some of them are really outrageously funny!

NOTE: I advice you NOT to follow any of these diets. I do not recommend them since they are not healthy and do not follow serious medical protocol research. This post is just for our Friday amusement.

CRAZY DIETS:

1. The Baby Food Diet

It replaces few of your food items with baby food (also means you poop like a baby). This one might seem easy, but trust me it’s like giving the taste of hell to your tongue. Having boiled, pureed veggies for 10 days without salt or any other spices can be a real tough task to perform. The things people do to lose weight!

2. The Beer and Sausage Diet

Call this the Tailgater’s Diet. Evo Terra, 44, an online exec in Tempe, Arizona, dropped from 195 to 177 pounds in 30 days consuming an average of about 1,500 calories a day—mostly from high-quality sausage and craft ale.

3. Miracle Diet

For this diet, one must consume only fruits for 2 days minimum. Also known as the Hollywood diet, this diet is all about making your body run on fruits or fruit juice for a span of 48 hours, minimum.

4. The Starbucks Diet

Stealing Jared’s strategy, Christine Hall, 66, a librarian from Alexandria, Virginia, lost more than 75 pounds over two years by eating only at Starbucks and sticking to about a 1,000-calorie per day diet. “Over time, scanning the calorie data helped me adjust my portion sizes,” she says.

5. The Eggs and Dessert Diet

You can have your cake and lose your gut too, a recent Tel Aviv University study found. People on 1,600 calories a day who ate a carb-and protein-rich breakfast that also included a dessert lost the same amount of weight (an average of 30 pounds over 4 months) as people on a low-carb diet (and no dessert).

Wasting Your Life Away? Be Happy Now!

WASTING YOUR LIFE AWAY?

Then start living now, breathing now, be absolutely conscious of your living state at every moment of your life, every second.

motivation inspiration dr martha castro noriega mexico tijuana america california los angeles

You waste your life away when you constantly replay the past in your mind, imagining a future that never comes. You end up living every day trying to “live in the future” that will never be present.

motivation inspiration dr martha castro noriega mexico tijuana america california los angeles

We can plan for the future and act according to it. Putting in action our plans with a passion to accomplish our goals, but always living in the present!

Some people say the following words are cliché. In my opinion, they have truth in the message and they are worth mentioning them:

Yesterday is history

Tomorrow is a mystery

But today is a gift

That is why it is called the present

The Mysterious Blogger said it differently but I liked it so much: “The present is an instant lost”

The past is a foreign world

The present is an instant lost

The future is a projected illusion

So why not just live in

The Here and Now!

I don’t think I would like to have this particular plant in my farm, especially because in summer I go out at night to the  yard to detect larvas, caterpillars with an ultraviolet lamp, and seeing this scary flower would probably be a deterrent for me to keep on doing what I have being doing for years 🤣😁

Tend To Love More Care More Hate Less

TEND TO CARE MORE

love hate dra martha castro https://drmarthacastrodoctor.com/

True love trumps hate, it is loyal, sincere, it tells you the truth no matter what it is, it does not hurt and if it does by mistake, it repairs the damage with care.

TEND TO LOVE MORE

Let  your heart flow in the midst of compassion and honesty. Hate destroys and corrupts, and it is better to keep it away from our minds and our homes.

TEND TO CARE LESS (about other’s hateful opinions)

Instead, think of goodness towards your human fellow, the animals and insects that beautify your garden: butterflies, birds. They will beautify your soul too.

TEND TO BE HOME

Simplify: Make Your Life Successful Peaceful and Fun 1, 2, 3

SIMPLIFY:

Learning to simplify your life is easy and fun. The result of doing this is more time for yourself, more peace and more laughter!

Life doesn’t have to be so hard, you know. Learning how to simplify is so easy: just take a deep breath, smile and think what you don’t really need in your life.

Include your house, your work, your relationships. Relationships can clutter your thinking and mess up your life if you let them. Don’t. Walk away from them as soon as possible. But you cannot simplify if you retaliate. Remember, it takes two to tangle.
