Ministry update
Dear
Friends,
Greetings
from the wetlands of Maine where life
happens between the raindrops! Due to persistent
cold, wet, windy, foggy, soggy, muggy, and muddy
weather, many locals (especially gardeners) are
calling May a complete wash-out. It is reported
that Maine saw twenty two consecutive days of rain
in May! Nevertheless, the spirits of farmers' and
gardeners' are not dampened! Late planting is better
than no planting at all. Thus we all wait with
patient
expectation for the blessings of the season, namely
sun and warm!
To
spur us on to new heights of health, this
month's HANDS-ON HEALTH meeting, 'MUSHROOM
MANIA!', will feature a presentation by Maine's own
'Mushroom Maineiac,' David Spahr. David is a
seasoned mushroom connoisseur, enthusiast, forager,
lecturer, and author. His up-close-and-personal
experience
with wild mushrooms promises to enlighten, challenge,
and
inspire all who attend. We are happy to have David as
a
guest speaker and hope that you will make a special
effort
to join us for this engaging event. Bring family and
friends!
Details about our June HANDS-ON HEALTH
meeting are
posted here.
Later
this month I will be presenting a live food
demonstration at Fieldstone Gardens in Vassalboro
as part of the Hospice Volunteers of Waterville Area
Garden Party. This annual fund raiser is a perfect
setting for talking healthy and presenting options
for
nutritious summer eating. Treat yourself by attending
this event that lifts both spirit and body. Learn
more
about the Garden Party here.
This month's feature
article is 'Adrenal Health,'
a subject that deserves attention since many
people are unwittingly suffering adrenal fatigue,
a crisis that affects the whole body. Allowing for
the
serious nature of this problem, I felt compelled to
address this topic in hopes of helping others
identify
and naturally resolve this common condition. For the
sake of your better health, please read up!
News of healthy interest
abounds and highlights of
selected reports are listed further along in this
letter.
Once again, we encourage you to research and take
action as needed. We live in challenging times, when
the assault on personal health freedom is at an all-
time high. Do what you must to safeguard your
quality of life while there is time. On the lighter
side,
tune in to discover the winner of Hallelujah Acres'
BarleyMax recipe contest. The link is provided
further along in this newsletter.
On the home front, life is on
the fast track as gardening
season descends upon the household. As time and
weather permit, I am out 'talking to the plants' and
encouraging them to grow. So far, the strategy is
working. Our herbs and wild edibles have 'greened
up' as the result of recent rains and look beautiful!
Furthermore, they taste great! Already the harvest
is abundant and the overflow we are wholesaling to
one of our favorite local co-ops. It is fun to share
our
humble harvest with those who appreciate. For a
closer look at this year's garden, read my latest
report from the backyard here.
Inside, our LIVING Kitchen
continues to swing both
day and night. With armfuls of greens coming in from
the yard nearly each day, our salads grow larger (and
tastier!) and our dehydrators hum more often.
Handling
the harvest is a seasonal ritual at our house as we
cherish the goodness of the land while it is fresh
and
readily available. There is nothing better than food
that's home-grown or locally foraged!
In closing, as we head into
warmer days, take time
to be healthy. There is no better season than summer
to enjoy fresh, raw, living foods. Frequent a local
farmers' market, plant a garden, forage for wild
edibles and make living healthy fun!
Discover life
from the inside out by eating well and feeling your
body come to life! There is power in living foods,
after all, YHVH made them especially for you!

3) Feature
Article: 'Adrenal Health'
In the April issue of
our LIVING Letter, I addressed
the all-important issue of thyroid health and the
vital
role iodine plays in maintaining proper function of
this endocrine gland. (To review LIVING
Letter #41:
'Thyroid Health' click here.) Concluding this article, I
submitted that research proves an integral connection
between the thyroid and adrenal glands. Given the
importance of this interdependence, this writing will
explore the little known adrenal glands to see how
they contribute to the body's wellbeing.
