Tons of benefits from Aloe Vera, however do check with the following web link for some side effects, especially take by month. My suggestion is, apply on skin but not oral for safety. If you want to take orally, please do check with doctor first and buy the commercial made products.

young & sweet

ABBA - Dancing Queen

Have you ever recalled when you were young or when you see a young one, you wonder that no matter how we or they dress or how the hair style, even when the hair is sort of in a mess, still look so beautiful and charming and nature.

People say time is the only fair thing that God gives everyone. We all only have 24 hours for a day. We all will get old day by day. Though so are faster and some are slower.

When I was young, I never thought that it is necessary that I should take especially care of my health or beauty. I never worry about there will be one more gray hair or wrinkle appears.

As aging, I start to worry for the young, how come they don’t take good care of themselves?
I start to get more interest in any kind of health tips that I can get.

2 days ago, I decided to try to use Aloe Vera to see if that work on my beauty, hair and skin look. One of my friends gives a plant of it, so I can have endless supply for it. And she tells me, "let me know the result". I’m hoping that she will see the difference in the near future of me instead hear from me.

Oh! I get to search from the web for more information on the benefits and usages for Aloe Vera. Let’s wait and see.

book review - joyous health




Joyous Health: Eat and Live Well without Dieting
The other day, I thought about to borrow a recipe book to enjoy. After reading the half way of this book, surprising find out that half of the book is a yummy, healthy and nutritious recipe.

The food that you take, it does effect of the way you are.

The author, she used to have problem on health, began in her late teens, she suffered from hormonal imbalance, digestive problems and anxiety. Trying different but no help, desperate but, later become a Holistic Nutritionist, professional speaker, nutrition expert, inspire and help the people is in need of health problems.

From couple of different prospects, the food that you take, how to choice the food and read the nutrition facts, how to prepare the food, the way you think.

2014 & 2015


To me, 2014 is full of surprises and grace, I take the microphone, stand up to the stage do the testimony, I talk and I sing up on the stage, I host on the tour bus for our fellowship’s one day trip. Those are all the grace from God. Those are that I can never image will happen to me ever. Oh! And my Cantonese do improve; it’s all beyond anyone’s imagination. It’s all in God’s hand.
2015, this new year, by far is already full of challenges, I take the position as a small group leader of our fellowship and learning how to lead the Sunday school class with the other brother together. Again those are brand new to my life.
And for the small group leader, only for the work chart arrangement, already give me some hard time. I have to know who is willing or capacity for which part of the needs. We do assign people instead of let people assign for themselves, the experience from the past. If you let them choice, of course including myself too, the job will never done.

2015

Wow! Another new year, half way of the first month of 2015 already!

I wish this New Year, more and more people will knowing God and receive His unfailing love.

sick

It’s kind of mix with sad and joy inside my heart.

I was sick one week ago, an elder friend, immediately hold me so tight and so close and pray for me. Yes! And yes that one of my church friend.

Unlike others, once they know I’m sick, they keep as far as distance as they can. Or even talk sort of loud behind my back, says “someone’s sick must from her”. That’s so hurt; they probably don’t forget that she’s sick way before I caught the cold.

And these also bring my memory back to years ago, when I was sick, cough so hard and for so long. One of my friends, again, one of my church friends, right away, get home and take lots of warm clothes and give them to me. They not all new, some though.


I’m so touched. Every time I wear those warm clothes, I feel so emotion. Those hats, scarves, warm jackets, turtleneck clothes, warm pants, gloves they full of love. And I believe them all from Christ.

computer

I really need a computer of my own. But it’s so hard to make the decision. My kids always ask me, “What is your requirement for this computer?” I answer, “Cheap and good”, I know it’s kind of impossible. Well, I’ll keep looking for it very hard.

DUMB LAWS

Big Government. Small Brains. Dumb Laws.

There’re a lot of them, dumb yet quite funny too, here’s one of them in North Carolina.
It’s against the law to sing off key.

And I’m so glad that I’m not a North Carolina resident.


But by far there’s no one been penalty by that particular law yet.
