Do you happen to have a recipe for them so I can try them as well?<br /><br />The point of the Paleo diet is, and I feel some people forget this, to not only diet, but to eat delicious foods at the same time. It's the only diet I've come across that cuts out food groups, yet still focusses on everyone's need to eat great food. <br /><br />I'm a real foodie, and would not survive on any other diet, but Paleo has been very good for me. I've written about one of my favourite cookbooks: http://cookbook-reviews.net/review-the-paleo-recipe-book/<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15221260237443146714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495127973786478603.post-9629782393964898302015-03-04T20:20:42.789-06:002015-03-04T20:20:42.789-06:00Great insights girl.

That desert is an awful place to be. I have many of those days these days because my sister is in the final days of ovarian cancer and I HATE what it's doing to her. But I have learned to do some things when I feel helpless and hopeless. I praise God. I thank Him out loud for His Son, His Spirit that is my best friend. I play Christian music 24-7. I write in my "frustration" journal. I literally write down the things I can do absolutely nothing about and release them to God. And I go outside and just sit in the sun or walk around this beautiful farm and pray to God, thanking Him for His blessings. Hope that helps. Your sharing gives me and any others a heads up that Satan is attacking you and my prayers are for him to leave you alone! Lift up your head, redemption draws nigh, as the old song goes!Cherrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495127973786478603.post-74449116659245657882014-07-28T13:31:46.622-06:002014-07-28T13:31:46.622-06:00I think doing something different month will be aw...I think doing something different month will be awesome for me.

I think it might help you to be active & involved in others lives, instead of just putting your money all in once place for a whole year, then you might forget the people. (you might not, but I certainly would!)And you can give to current events, like the border kids.RuthieBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726254031478994732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495127973786478603.post-69583703744389403262014-07-23T18:22:41.176-06:002014-07-23T18:22:41.176-06:00I feel the same way Candi!I feel the same way Candi!ThistleAshDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407623759023282922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495127973786478603.post-84315710006017860072014-07-23T17:38:14.551-06:002014-07-23T17:38:14.551-06:00Love this!!
