Hi Kurt!

 

Thanks so much for joining up. I know from past experience that you will have invaluable info to share with us!

 

I haven't had a chance to formally welcome everyone to the group. But please, everyone, feel free to introduce yourself and tell us all a little about yourself-your goals, your dreams, the ways you have found to simplify your life, eat healthier, achieve peace of mind, or become self-sufficient, etc.

 

I can't wait to get started! I have to go to Chemo today-my last round, YAY-so forgive me in advance if I seem absent over the next few days. I'll try to keep us as best I can.

 

Hugs,

Cyndi

Hello Everyone, This is Noëlle who knows Cyndi from a swapping group. When I saw Cyndi's post I joined immediately, I was the 2nd member. :P I am a clothes hound for Cyndi's clothes, so just between the two of us we have been practicing reuse! BTW Cyndi, my company's holiday dinner was two weekends ago and I wore the beautiful London Fog coat from our swap 3 or 4 years ago and used the purse from our most recent swap, which was several months ago, thank you! And almost every day I wear something of yours to work. :) I have almost worn out the open toe shoes I got from you! xoxoxo Noëllecyndikrall wrote: Hi Kurt! Thanks so much for joining up.

Hi Noelle and everyone,

 

I know Cyndi from a plant discussion group, so I'm not wearing her

clothes :-) . Cool

idea about the swap group tho.

 

I'm 64 (Oct 23, Libra), twice retired, single, and I live in central

Fla. My favorite pastimes are horticulture, paddling kayak and canoe,

nature-watching. I was an illustrator/graphics artist in a prior life

(Air Force). I'm interested in people and the places they live,

lifestyles, ethnicities. I particularly enjoy talking to older people

about their life experiences. I like old things, real wood rather than

plastic. And of course I try to keep things simple. Altho I am not an

alcoholic, I to AA's adage KISS -- Keep It Simple, Stupid.

I find this rule is quite applicable as a way of life as well as

helping people with special problems.

Hello, all! <waves hands> So excited to be here, and THRILLED that

Cyndi started this group! (Thank you, Cyndi!) It was becoming

increasing clear over on the TWF board that there was a need for

another forum for us to take our discussions, LOL!

 

The nice part about a group like this is that a 'simple' lifestyle

will mean so many things to different people, we will all have

different needs and degrees of commitment, but we will all bring

varying and interesting ideas to the table to share. <smiles>

 

Lookin' forward to listening and sharing with all of you!

Noelle, lol! I am so glad you are enjoying my clothing so much. I can't even remember what purse I gave you, lol. You are too funny! I LOVED that coat! I am happy it has a good home.

 

Who is the hottie pictured with you in your profile? Is that your boyfriend? WOW, Is all I can say! If it's your son, I still say WOW, lol.

 

I still have a fancy dress for you. I just haven't had the energy to deal with it, but it is YOU. For those of you who don't know me, I absolutely HATE wearing black, so I gave it all to Noelle, lol. Don't ask me why I had it in the first place! One of my first steps in decluttering! lol.

 

Noelle has a nomadic spirit and has PERFECTED the art of keeping possessions simple! I KNOW she can help me, lol.

 

Hugs,

Cyndi

Hi Russ! I am so glad you decided to join us. I've "known" you for quite a while, and I truly value your wisdom. I hope you will stay and share your thoughts and experiences with us. I feel blessed that you are here. :-)

 

P.S. If you would LIKE to wear my clothing, I can arrange it. ;-)

 

P.P.S. Still hoping to visit Florida next summer, so brace yourself! ;-)

 

Hugs,

Cyndi

Cee, this has actually been in the back of my mind for a long time. You're right, it was becoming clear that we all needed a better venue to discuss the nutrition and lifestyle issues we were concerned about. And it gave me the push I needed!

 

And you are absolutely right about what SIMPLE means to each of us! We all have to find the balance in our own lives and the mental freedom we feel we need. it will be different for each of us. The beauty is, we can ALL learn from each other, from the most radical to the most relaxed. So glad you are here! Love ya!

The chemo nurses gave me a certificate of completion, complete with party hats, noise makers, and bubbles, lolol. I could only cry. It means so much to me to finally see the end of this.

 

Now, the best part begins-the rest of my life. :-)

Thanks, Russ, I'm going to try to keep up as best I can. The list is new, and I'm so happy to be a part of this, and want to post while still on a Prednisone-induced hyperactivity wave, lol.

 

Kail is yelling at me to get back in bed, lol, so I'll hurry thru the rest of my mail and go relax with a nice cup of herbal tea. :-)Hugs,

Hello All,

My name is Holly, I met Cyndi through our Bog group, Backyardbogs. I am excited about this new group, not only because Cyndi started it, but it is the perfect group for me. I am a pacifist, environmentalist, earth loving, kid loving mama, not only for my own children, but for children all over the world, fighting poverty and hunger is important to me. My hobbies and interests lie within the group's interests and I feel that I can contribute to the dialogue. Anyone else for peace and justice in the new year ? For protecting our mother earth ?

Now, what's this about a swapping group ? Sounds interesting too.

Anyway, glad to be here, nice to meet everyone. Peace and Hope, Holly

Welcome, dear friend! And thanks so much for the Christmas card too. i'm sorry to say I did not send out any cards this year. I've been in the hospital three times this past month, and felt too miserable to deal with too much. We had a very quiet, peaceful Holiday this year, very stress free for all of us.

 

But I do so appreciate that you took the time to send a card. You are such a good friend! :-)Hugs!

Welcome, Holly, my beautiful friend! I noticed you placed an album in the photo section, thanks so much! I love seeing your smiling face. :-)

 

Some of us belong to an online swap group called Trade With Friends. It's a very active group, lots of trading and chatting too. Email me privately if you'd like the link to check it out.

 

I am ALL for peace and justice in the new year! Amen, sister! It is my hope that returning to a simpler way of life will also help me have less of an adverse impact on the earth. One of my dreams is to someday live in a completely energy efficient, self-sustaining home.....

 

Hugs,

Cyndi

You're not alone, my friend, others here have diabetes too, and I'm sure they can help you out. What kind of drug did your doctor want you to take? Have you done any research on the internet? Did he say why he thought you were a good candidate for the experiment?I'm with you for not wanting to be a guinea pig. i could have gone to UC Davis for treatment, and gotten into clinical trials, but i did not want to! I'm just not that brave, i guess.

The good news is, diabetes is very controllable with diet and exercise. But you have to do what your doctor tells you, even if it's getting injections. It's not the end of the world, you can always stop the injections if you are successful in controlling the diabetes thru good nutrition. I KNOW you get a lot of exercise thru work!

 

Please tell us more about your current diet, and any questions you might have about healthy eating choices. We'll all be glad to do what we can to help. :-)Hugs,

Cyndi

Hey, Greg...I'm Celia from Detroit. I have type II diabetes but take no medication...I am diet and exercise controlled. There are indeed natural ways to control it, but until that does happens, do NOT neglect your health. Do what you need to do, whatever medication that need be taken. The point is to be as healthy as possible, naturally if possible and medically if not.

 

Just curious...do you know anything about this experimental shot he wants to try to you?

 

Warm Regards,

 

--Celia--
