Today, I just want to gush. I am so proud of my mother! We’ve been through a lot together, and her recent progress made me want to pay tribute to her inn this post.
  For years, Mom has struggled with her health and weight – both of which improved tremendously after we went vegan. As we began incorporating portions of the blood type diet, as well, she began to get more energy, as well. Changing our living situation and finally getting settled in our own home brought mixed emotions, but we persevered. And pretty soon, Mom was feeling happier.
  However, there were still many things she struggled with; and when a new health issue came up, she seemed to lose a bit of her old spark. Talking with Alura, she advised her to find a good doctor and have her exercise regularly to get her to where she needed to be. It took quite some time and several false starts before we fund a reputable doctor. In the meantime, she had massive dental problems and couldn’t get them resolved.
  As we began to work on following Alura’s instructions, I began to find better ways to help and noticed a marked change in Mom’s attitude. She seemed to be truly willing to put more effort into herself, willing taking up the belly dance routine we’d started two years previously. When we began seeing our doctor, she agreed to starting a very small dose of antidepressants. She’d been very wary of them because of her own mother, but the doctor said he would be very careful with the dosage. Within a week or so, I saw she had more energy and smiled ore often. She began looking forward to exercising, doing it for only five minutes a day (my idea) every day, and showed an interest in new hobbies and activities.  This week, she was able to get down on the floor and exercise on her yoga mat for the first time ever. She’s lost more weight and is toning her body little by little. We have also begun learning more from our wonderful mentor, and this week Mom was able to schedule a dental appointment that will – hopefully – lead to her getting her mouth healthy again before the next part of “their” plan kicks in (as Alura predicted).
  I am very blessed to have the mother I have in this life. I’m also extremely blessed to have a mentor I can trust and the Heavens to guide me. There are tough times coming and an overwhelming amount of work to do, but I’m leaning on Source. With the guidance He’s giving us through Alura, I know we’ll be alright – just as long as we keep following it. Every time I get hit with some negativity or feel the heaviness in the air, I try to remind myself of how far we’ve come. We weren’t put on this earth to give up now, and if you’re reading this, rest assured the same goes for you!
