(90-Day Detox) Day 61: Another week whips by…

Written by Tera on April 20, 2009 – -



Maaaaaaaan!

Another day whips by me and here I am, minutes before midnight, finally getting to my blog post. How does it happen? How do the lists of things to do and distractions all pile up high enough and fast enough that a week whips by in a wink?

Ah well…

Onward.

It’s Sunday. It’s time to prepare to renew your commitments. There’s sure a part of me that is looking forward to this final phase of detox. I want to step things up for myself. I’m actually going to physically remove any foods I don’t want to be tempted to eat OUT OF MY HOUSE. I had some great teleseminars last night. If you’re in the high support version of the 90-day detox, I strongly encourage you to check that out. We covered some very good things.

***Fast Forward***

It’s 4:00am. Seems I wasn’t able to keep my eyelids peeled long enough to get this out before midnight afterall. Yesterday was our Raw in Montreal potluck, had two teleseminars at night, yoga in the day and two muffins to love in the morning. (One who had a fever.) Anyway, not the MOST productive day foinr Divaland, but certainly busy enough to have me conked on the couch earlier than I expected.

I’ll save the commitment review for “Monday’s” post.

Given the hustle and bustle that’s been going on because of the release of the 6-Week detox, there have been A LOT of emails coming in. I’m certainly doing my best to keep up.

Here’s one that moved me. Wanted to share the exchange of thoughts because I thought you might find it moving.

Hello Tera:  My name is Charles Premoe and I just wanted to express to you and Dr. Rita
how much I appreciate people such as yourselves and the truly inspirational work that you both are doing.  I am left near speechless as I try to envision the tremendous impact that you must have on the countless lives of those whom you influence by your gentle healing touch as you progress in your tireless efforts to restore the hope that sometimes begins to fade from our grasp as we are exposed to so many toxic influences.

Somehow a simple thank you just is not sufficient.

I just ask that untold blessing be yours in accordance with the level of your desires to share the knowledge that you have with others.  For if there is one thing I do know, it is this, that the universe is very reciprocative. Meaning that, as some people have put it “what goes around, comes around.”  In other words, the more you give, the more abundantly you will be given unto.

At the risk of sounding religious “in blessing we are blessed, and in multiplying, we are multiplied.” Genesis chap.22 verses21&22 also Hebrews chap.6 verses 13-15.  While writting this letter, I must admit that tears of joy fill my eyes as I think of the two of you, and what it is that you are doing. It goes without saying how vitally important this is to people.

I listened to the call last night and was amazed at the wealth of info that was given out in such a short amount of time. Then I went to your site and listened to the call several more times, it was truly wonderful. And you, Tera, bless your heart, I know how difficult it must have been for you to do what you did at the end of the teleseminar, but I truly believe that great hidden treasures are laid up in store for the both of you, (not to mention your families) for doing this.  It may not appear so at first, but given time you will soon reap the harvest of your plantings.  I assure you that this is so!  For it is only after the trial, that the blessings (AKA, rewards) come.

I owned a bakery some 14 years ago, and being somewhat of an extremist that I am, I worked very hard especially around the holidays I sometimes would work 4 & 5 days in a row with no sleep what so ever just to make the business succeed.  I usually didn’t have time to stop for a nutritious meal, so I often ate what I was fixing at the moment, and believe me it wasn’t the best that one could place in their body.  I didn’t drink coffee but in order to stay awake I would often consume high caffine sodas.  Needles to say, things began to take their toll on me and toward the end I suffered a stroke that forced me to give up the one thing that I loved to do. I had no choice but to let go of my business and lost my ability to provide a living for my family.  Let me just say this; for a man, that hit me right square in the bulls eye of my male pride.  For the next week I lay unconscious and paralyzed on my left side.  When I finally came conscious it was sometime before I began to realize just what had happened to me.

To make a long story short, I made a very slow recovery, until now I have just begun to take a new and exciting direction in my journey upon life’s pathway, that being raw and living foods.  My ultimate goal is to eventually overcome the challenge of current health issues, to the point that others can actually begin to see what a difference this lifestyle can make in a person. i.e. Just the other day I had a friend comment on how much younger I looked.  That was a testimony to me that what I was doing was beginning to make a difference.  My main concern now is congestive heart failure along with the 9 medications that I am currently on and the mirad of side effects that are beginning to show up which means more meds to take care of the side effects which can cause other side effects.

I believe that as long as there is a spark of life left that their still is a glimmer of hope.

I eventually would like to acquire enough knowledge to some day teach others what I have learned.  I believe that nothing can bring a person more of a sense of fulfillment than to restore hope into the lives of other people and literally see the light of that hope shinning forth from their countenances. What a marvelous experiences that truly is.  And that dear Tera is my request for you; that you will begin to see the fruits of your labours.  And you will be richly blessed, both temporally and spiritually for all your efforts.  Once again thank you both from the depths of my heart.

Rawspectfully Yours;
Charles Premoe

P.S.  Please drop a line just to let me know that you received this letter.  Its important to me as I am not very computer literate, but I am learning.


As you can imagine, it’s quite something to receive messages like this. If I look back at the glory moments of what I’ve done in my life (with work) they are most certainly related to letters like this one that express such an extraordinary amount of emotion between strangers. They open their secret gardens for me to see without so much as questioning whether or not I am able, willing or interested in knowing these things. They KNOW I am because I’ve imbued a clear sense of who I am in everything I do.

Yesterday an AMAZING character, Jacques Landry, in our potluck group came up to me saying that he’d read the sales page for the 90-day detox and had never read any letter that had as much looooove in it. He said he felt like it came straight from the heart.

It did.

It all does.

You don’t always realize the impact your choices have on other people, but the world is watching. BE the change. You don’t always see the results of what you give or how you love coming back to benefit you immediately, but persist in the face of opposition and believe, in spite of all reason not to believe or persist, and you’ll see soon enough that you’re on the right path.

Watch for the karmic flags that pop up and affirm you’re doing the right thing. The bus that pulls up just as you arrive at the stop. The friend that calls you up only a moment after you had this person on your mind. These are the winks from the universe that YOU are on the right path.

*ping*

That was my laundry reminding me I’m on the right path to getting this house cleaned today.

I’m decluttering. Decluttering my thoughts, my house, my intestinal tract, my cupboards and my social life.

Out with the old!

In with the new!

I’m ready for the final stretch of this 90-day journey and in my next post I’ll tell you what I’ve got planned and what my new commitments are for this week.

Shoulders back! Chest up! Tummy tight!

Dance to the rhythm of your beautiful day–of your beautiful LIFE!

Kisses and karmic flags,
Tera

    Charles – THANK YOU for sharing your story. It really is a reality check and a half. Good for you for making the change: for choosing to live.

    Tera – you are sparkling so bright that I can see your sparks all the way Down Under. :-)

    Yesterday was a rather traumatic one emotionally for me and I’ve hit the bread and cheese. :-( I did have an extra cherry smoothie tonight, and greatly enjoyed it. The loving energy here really does a lot to keep me going, and to keep me from giving up on myself.

    Blueberry blessings,
    Gypsy Queen

    Goodness! Charles’s story is so moving…I’m overwhelmed in a good way :) Thanks, Charles, for sharing. It’s given me divine inspiration this morning :) Blessings to you both.

    And wow, these two beautiful gems were just perfect:

    “You don’t always realize the impact your choices have on other people, but the world is watching. BE the change. You don’t always see the results of what you give or how you love coming back to benefit you immediately, but persist in the face of opposition and believe, in spite of all reason not to believe or persist, and you’ll see soon enough that you’re on the right path.”

    “Dance to the rhythm of your beautiful day–of your beautiful LIFE!”

    SOOOO beautifully put. I’m so emotionally inspired for the day :) Thanks!

    Love and hugs :)

    I just had to emphasis his words here, and tell you Tera how much I agree! What an amazing letter to receive, and an inspiring story from Charles. Happy Monday. Squeezes to all!

    Hi,
    I too had to add my thanks to Charles for taking the time to so eloquently express his gratitude and thoughts!

    I wanted to comment about taking the time to notice things that “just happen”, like your example of a bus showing up just as you arrive at the stop….Well, last Friday, my daughter finally had her cardio appt. to have her second go-around with a heart monitor for a month. As I have said in previous posts, we have been unable to get insurance for her for several reasons. Anyway…

    The unexpected blessing for us, was that when I went to the counter to pay the fee, the receptionist informed me that their policy is that if an uninsured patient can pay, then the bill is reduced by 50%!! I only had to pay $68,00 for that day’s set-up/visit. Wow! My husb. is a Pharmacist (doesn’t fit him anymore b/c he is anti-med’s… another story) and I used to be a Dental Assistant. We receive “professional discounts” on our bills but that is around 10%-15%, which is very nice. BUT this 50% discount is (for me) unheard of!! I was so shocked and surprised, but filled with gratitude as well.

    I am just realizing how much more I NEED to being paying attention to things, no matter how small or how big, that are blessings and walk in the realm of gratitude!

    Thank you, Tera, for continually reminding ‘me’ to not take these things for granted. To focus on these and eagerly anticipate great things instead of slipping into negativity! We do get what we expect. Although there will be those difficult, unkind, challenges, we can learn to quickly shift our focus and choose to dwell on those positive things!

    I am inspired, as always, just by being here!
    Blessings and may great surprises flow in your direction today, everyone!!
    Vanetta :)

    PS…In my comment above, I meant $68.00 (US). Just wanted to clarify.
    Sorry about that :(

    I encourage everyone to look inside to all that is good within. Tera, so glad that you have the vision and wisdom to reach out to so many. Each of us can and many of us do the same each and every day! Keep smiling, loving and sharing. Thanks Charles for adding some positive sunshine to the day!

    with hugs

    Oh what a wonderful thing to come home to. I just finished getting dinner ready and the boys are at soccer practice so I took the opportunity to fly to Diva Land for a few minutes. What an extraordinary magical place this is!

    Charles! What an inspiration. I’m going to share your story with my Dad. He had a stroke close to eight years ago and while his recovery has been amazing, I know he would feel so much better if he incorporated more raw and living foods into his diet. Perhaps reading the story of a fellow survivor will be the impetus he needs.

    We never know whose hearts we touch … whose lives we change …. just by standing in our truth.

    Thank you Charles and Tera and Dr.Ritamarie and all the beautiful divas (and Divos!) for your courage and your love.

    Bright Blessings,
    Karyn

    Yikes! How did I get so far behind in the blogs! I seem to have this habit of ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ and then before I know it 10 days have come and gone.
