Enriching the Soil of Your Life
How can I say what I’m about to say about skin care products without coming across as a know-it-all?
I began switching all of our personal care products to healthier versions when I became very sick.

Quite a provocative question this: What does it mean to be ladylike?
As you stepped into your clothes this morning, did you embrace the love of God who longs for you to be appreciated for who you are – not just what you look like?
At home or away, a ladylike daughter of the King represents not only herself but, even more so, the Lord. I believe it is important we embrace this inescapable outward aspect of our lives and craft our wardrobes to honor God. After all, He made woman the crowning touch of all creation. God places a high value on what we do with our bodies since we are His temple (1 Cor. 6:19).

I share this guest post from Weston A. Price’s Wise Traditions with permission from Joette Calabrese, HMC, CCH, RSHom(NA), homeopath and author – because she and I want you to thrive!
Liz had a dirty little secret. Well, maybe not so dirty to others, but to Liz it was embarrassing so she kept it hidden from her family and friends. Sometimes she even denied it to herself.

Our dear friend Johanna coined a phrase that has stuck with us (we love it!), and now we think of our plus size friends as ‘elegantly curved’! We have many beautiful, elegantly-curved friends created by God, each wonderfully and fearfully made.
As I get older and undergo the inevitable changes in my body and shape, I find it is harder to find beautifully-fitting, classy, but modest clothes for less. Still, I desire to make modesty and femininity attractive instead of frumpy, so I persevere. At whatever age we are, we must still discover for ourselves what it means to represent the Lord as His ambassadors to the world….
