Miss Flora is always picking her nose and eating it. At
first I thought it was just a bad habit, but recently discovered it quelled her
cravings for snacks. The following is a conversation Junior Accountant had with
Miss Flora last week.
Fed up with ongoing illness and dissatisfied with the experts’ opinions, I started my own research for answers. My desire for an exact diagnosis and treatment turned into a journey of discovery and the start of a new way of life, not just for me, but for my family too.

Whether you’re reading this because you’re gluten intolerant, suffer from PVFS or CFS, are starting to grow your own veggies, embracing natural and/or alternative remedies, or just want to enjoy the journey with us, please remember I’m not a medical expert, nor am I here to debate global warming. Being diagnosed with a life-changing illness, looking for answers or changing the way one lives can all be overwhelming events, so I hope that by sharing the triumphs and tragedies, you too will benefit in some way from our journey.
I hope you enjoy the journey and if you leave this blog having learnt only one new recipe or started to think about finding your star, then this blog’s purpose has been served.
My two favourite sayings:
Pondering the choices we make at the crossroads is like revision in the school of life. Regretting the mistakes or taking for granted the successes means we have learnt nought.
An attentive student will gain wisdom from the mistakes and joy from the successes. Cartillyer – 2008
'Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.' Mohandas Gandhi

The Definition of Christmas Spirit
Christmas means different things to many people. For some,
it’s about celebrating the birth of Jesus. For others, it’s just another day
they have to close their shop and lose profits.

The First Steps To Changing Your Lifestyle
Changing Your Lifestyle is NOT the Same as Dieting
My lifestyle change related to food because of my food
intolerances, but whether your lifestyle change is a choice or a necessity, it
has the potential to be one of the greatest challenges you ever face. The most
important lesson I learned when I had to remove gluten and wheat from my diet
was that I was guaranteed to fail if I didn’t do it one step at a time.

Timeline Updated
I've finally gotten around to updating the Timeline again!
Too Long Between Posts!
It’s been a while between posts, but every now and then
drama in my children’s lives reminds me that I’m also a full-time mother, so
blog, study, and anything else that consumes me gets put on hold while I don my
‘Mum/Mummy/Mother’ hat.
