Thanksgiving Thankfulness

Hello everyone. :)

I had intended to post another hair tutorial this week, but will need to wait until another week on that. :)

Since Thanksgiving is soon to be here, I would like to spend some time giving thanks.

  First of all, I am thankful for my Heavenly Father. Without Him, life is empty. God is the source of all true joy, love and peace. I love these Bible texts which draw my heart out in thankfulness to my God.

 "The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth." Psalm 145:15-18 (KJV) https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Psalms-145-15/

Secondly, I am thankful for my family. I am truly blessed to be born into the family I was born into. I love both my immediate family and my extended family. If any of you are reading this, and I suspect that some of you are, I just want to let you know that I love you.

Thirdly, I am thankful for my friends. I am blessed to be associated with so many people. Friends add much to my life. Friends are important. Friends make life better. I pray that I will be a good friend to everyone that I meet. I am incredibly thankful for my friends and I hope to make many more. :) Love to you all as well. :)

I am also thankful for animals. Many domesticated animals are such loving, forgiving, sweet, loving, compassionate and affectionate beings (I realize that they are affected by sin just like we are). What would life be like without them? Dogs and cats have added much to my life.

I will stop here, but I really do have much more to be thankful for. I hope that all of you will take time to recount your blessings too. :) 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tornado Roll Hair Tutorial

Image
Hello everyone. :) (One important note: I mentioned that I wear a panty hose on my head at night to keep my hair neat. I either tie up the legs or wear a panty hose that has had the legs cut off. I wouldn't want anyone to have the legs end up becoming tied around their necks during their sleep. That doesn't sound safe). In today's video, I am showing you all how to do what I have termed a "tornado roll" on stretched natural African-American hair. This style would not work so well on most freshly washed natural African-American hair. African American hair is generally not washed daily. My definition of stretched hair is the following: natural African-American hair  that has been twisted, braided or put in buns for more than one day and that has then been combed out dry. This style can be done with straight or wavy hair as well. The hair tools that I use in this video are the following: A wide tooth comb A bristle brush A pony tail holder A large jaw clip Bobb

Hello everyone, Today I will be sharing part III of the series I am doing on the Whole Foods Plant-based Diet. Up until now I have not shared any recipes for foods that can be eaten in this diet. I am happy to let my readers know that this diet can be very tasty and delightful. In this part of the series, I will be letting my readers know what some of my favorite dishes have been through the years, and I will be providing links to where you can purchase the cookbooks that contain the recipes for these dishes, if you are interested in trying them. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are vegan versions of very many kinds of foods. There is vegan macaroni and cheese, vegan lasagna, scrambled tofu (a great substitute for scrambled eggs), vegan pizza, vegan cheese and sour cream etc. There is so much out there for vegans to eat. A vegan diet does not have to be a deprived, boring and miserab

The Amazing Benefits of the Whole Foods Plant-based Diet part IV

         Would you be excited if you learned that there is a diet that has been shown to help people to drastically improve, and even reverse, type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and which also makes weight loss tremendously easier? Some medical professionals have come to see that the Whole Foods Plant Based diet can do incredible things for many of their patients: things that conventional medicine struggles to accomplish.  Today I will be sharing some free, online resources that give my readers scientific information on the benefits of the Whole Foods Plant-Based diet for type 2 diabetes and heart disease. I will also be sharing testimonials of people who have overcome obesity on this diet.       What I am sharing isn't a comprehensive ( comprehensive definition ) list of resources on these topics, but I hope that what I am sharing will be food for thought (that sounds like a pun!). As a friendly reminder, I am not a medical professional and what I am sharing is not a substitute fo
