...so helpful he's going to continue for two more days! When I decided to participate in this fast I wasn't sure if he would join me but I was hoping he would. We made a big move to a new area and off-grid property in March and have a lot of projects going on. At the same time he's been dealing with increasing multiple debilitating health issues and was at the point of needing to drop everything and look for a holistic practitioner in our new location. Symptoms included interrupted sleep, asthma, anxiety, irregular heartbeat, swollen feet, gut issues (feeling full after a small snack), general exhaustion. Going from a very active regular runner to having to stop halfway up a hill when just walking - short of breath/no energy. We've been doing a lot of driving to pick up supplies and it was getting scary as he was nodding off at every traffic light. He was pulling over for naps on every outing when I wasn't there to take over. It was like being married to a different person. So I was very happy when he said yes to the fast. We both started the DIY burn version. I didn't make it past 36 hrs due to feeling like I was bonking on the morning of day 2 (low blood sugar as athletes sometimes experience), and consuming extra electrolytes and salt didn't resolve it. If I was at home that day I could have pushed through but we were on a long drive for a dental appt for him and I needed to feel well enough to drive later. Plus our close friends just had some kind of stomach flu or toxicity so I couldn't tell if I was getting sick or if it was the fasting. After 2 hours and some napping as the passenger, still feeling shitty, I ate an apple and felt much better. I'm still eating lightly and will continue to do so until Larry has finished his longer fast. I thought my intention was a gut reset and to fully embrace our new location and leave the old life behind, but now I see it was actually to help Larry with his health issues. My own fast was optional for now, I don't have any health problems currently. I did drop 2.5 lbs in 36 hrs and lost my sugar cravings.

A number of times over the past 2 weeks, I’ve felt prayers arise in me for you all. And for what is coming. Asking God for each of your highest good to be manifest in your lives, and doing my best to see the coming transformations as already real. And a couple days ago, man… the spiritual battle was intense. But as the song goes, “staring down the mouth of 100,000 guns… we’re still here, we’re still here.” I came across this video, it moved me to tears, and I felt inspired to share it with you. I feel more clear than I have in perhaps years, that our benevolent Source has something profound for each of us. And I want to see it manifest, in each of our lives. That’s what pulls me forward now. That the Great Reality be manifest in the physical, as it is in the seed of God’s thought. The Aramaic says: “Nehwey sabyanach aykana d’bashmaya aph b’ar’ah.” “Your heart’s desire then acts with ours; as in all shimmering light, so in all forms.” Let it be so. I say this not in a religious way, but the essence just is what it is. The speaker here is Nate Johnston. Through all of my journeys in and out the church — in and out of religion — this guy’s voice has always resonated with me. May the sacred Spirit at our core essence bless you richly today. Love you guys.
