Anti Cancer Diet Saves My Mom's Life? - PPRH2O #2

YouTube Link: Macrobiotic Diet and my mom

When I was very young, my mother got cancer.  She was a school teacher at the time.  It was just me, my sister, and my mom.   My mother and father got divorced when I was around six years old.  She heard about a diet from Japan that had helped people who had cancer.  I believe she was very worried about us kids and what would happen to us if she died.  She decided to try the diet.  She is still alive today perhaps fifty years after she had had cancer.  She is one of the reasons that I've been interested in a healthy lifestyle for years.  Thanks mom for living out a life style right in front of me that has influenced me for years.  I recently introduced her to Kangen Water.  I told that it also came from Japan.  She was impressed yet again with Japanese ingenuity.   For more information about the Macrobiotic Diet, check out the below books.   My mom is familiar with both of them.  I'm thankful to Michio Kushi.  He may have saved my mom's life years ago.

The Temperament Theory May Have Saved My Marriage

 

Years ago I was in business with a group of people that were constantly talking about the four temperament theory and how it related to the business.  They described the temperaments as "Driver," "Amiable," "Expressive," and "Analytical."   We also had a book of the month club and this was one of the books.   I was fortunate enough to hear Florence Littauer speak in person at a conference.   I remember her striking me as a very humorous and intelligent woman who was amazing to listen to.  She was a blast.   Now why do I say that this book may have saved my marriage?  Because this book, and all the teachings on the temperaments, gave me a foundation on which to begin to understand people.  This was critical in me beginning to understand the differences between my wife and myself.  You see, my wife and I are exact opposites!  Isn't that the way most marriages are?  We see the strengths in our mate that we don't have, and are attracted to it.  But, with those strengths also come weaknesses.   Each temperament has strengths and weaknesses.  Once you understand this, it makes it much easier to find the grace to accept the weaknesses of your mate.  

 

Another great book on Temperaments.  This looks at the great figures in the Bible and explains their strengths and weaknesses.  The theory explains in this book that we are all made up of mainly two temperaments.   It then takes all of the two combination possibilities and explained historical figures from the temperament viewpoint.  It is an analytical book and a bit dry.   Just the facts, mam.  Just the facts (as an detective in an early TV show would have put it).

Save Three Year Old Lillian

After I got an email from Eric Prusak about this little girl, I felt sick.  I couldn't stop thinking about her.  Sometimes things hit you deeply.  This one did.  I could barely focus on what I needed to get done because I was thinking about this little girl.  Many horrific things happen in this world.  It is easy to put up walls around ourselves to protect ourselves from the onslaught of the troubles of this world.  There is so much pain in the world.   It simply seems over whelming to even think about.  So, we push it out of our minds and focus on our own problems.  And, our world shrinks down to the size of our limited vision for our own lives that does not include other people out side of our family.  What if we changed this?  What if we included other people and brought them into our "family".  What would our vision look like then?  What do I mean exactly?  Well, what if we imagined adding five, or maybe ten, more people to our "family"?     Could this be done?   If we decided to "include" others it would get us thinking about how to do this.  We live in one of the most prosperous nations in the world.   We have opportunities all around us.  But, if we have no reason to look for opportunities, then opportunities will slip right by us and we won't even miss them.  Can I throw out a challenge?  Expand your vision to include others and then look for the opportunity that, with some hard work, can make your new vision a reality.

Molly

Molly getting hydrated with Kangen water before her baseball game.  She really loves playing.  When I met Cynthia about 10 years ago, Molly was a lot smaller.  :)  She is nineteen now!  Molly has two brothers too.  One of them was about 4 years old when I married Cynthia.   He is now 15, weights about 200+ lbs and is almost as tall as me and is wearing bigger shoes than me. His brother loves baseball and is one of the star players on his team.  Recently I saw him hit a home run at a baseball game.  I was amazed.  He is 17 and can really hit the ball.  When I stepped in as a step dad, I made a bunch of assumptions about what it was going to be like.  All of my assumptions were wrong.  It has been challenging, to say the least.  But, the challenges have really done for me what I would never have been able to do for myself.  I am grateful for what they have brought into my life and how they've helped me to become a better person.  Even the relationship I have with their father has helped me to become a better me.  This is my family.  Thank you Cynthia for coming into my life and bringing with you some amazing kids.
