The End of The Road

The steps along this path, 2BRecoverED, are mine to take;
Either to move forward or stay knocked down for the AN’s sake.
Once i decided to choose a different way of Life
(Instead of listening to & following The Voice)
I really had no idea that choice of Mine -
Would cause so much strife.

In My body and in my head are feelings & thoughts
Of sheer dread and the anxiety rises into a crescendo.
As both know I will not give in and stop
Drinking My LIMU Brand, for it has all the nutrients I need;
To overcome all that I’ve done wrong since I
Let the AN in all those many years ago.

This path is a treacherous, miry and confusing one -
Just like all the others, I s’pose, that lead to the Land of RecoverED.
Full of deep pits of despair, fits of rage and, quite frankly,
Feelings of not even being here in the same realm
With body & mind complete.

What’s the difference, You might ask, of which path to take
– If they all lead to the same place?
Ah yes, but if You only knew
How much easier this one is with LIMU inside;
To fortify & strengthen the body & mind -
for the fight to bring The Self out.

A daunting & exhaustive task this Refeeding Syndrome with
All its quirky traits, forcing Me to wonder if I should continue.
But each day I start anew with a sip of that golden nectar
As i visualize my AN drowning in that sea of nutrients
And Me without a care.

My steps quickened along with my strength restored,
I soon Shall say good-bye to this old friend of Mine;
Of which I’ve trodden & have become bored.
It’s time to get on with My new living arrangements as I
Take up the Only residence next to my Lord
That Belongs in this vessel that has been given to Me.

May the God of Hope fill You with all Joy & Peace as You Trust in Him. *Romans 15:13

The Habit

THE POWER OF HABIT!

I am your constant companion

I am your greatest helper or your
heaviest burden.

I will push you onward
or drag you down to failure.

I am completely at your
command.

Half the things you do you might
as well turn over to me,
and I will be able to do them
quickly and correctly.

I am easily managed; you must
merely be firm with me.

Show me exactly how you want
something done,
and after a few lessons
I will do it
automatically.

I am the servant of all great
individuals
And, alas, of all failure as well.

Those who are great I have made
great
Those who are failures I have
made failures.

I am not a machine,
Though I work with all the
precision of a machine
Plus the intelligence of a human
being.

You may run me for profit or run
me for ruin;
It makes no difference to me.

Take me, train me, be firm with
me,
And I will put the world at your
feet.

Be easy with me, and I will
destroy you.
Who am I?

I am habit!

-- author unknown


SHARE LIMU and the TLC Opportunity for 21 days
with 2 people a day and it will become a habit!
Don't share LIMU for 21 days and that
will become a habit also!

Form good habits and watch your life improve!

May the God of Hope fill You with all Joy and Peace as You Trust In Him.

~Romans 15:13

A Narrow Light

A Narrow Window

A narrow window may let in the light,
A tiny star dispel the gloom of night,
A little deed a mighty wrong set right.

A rose, abloom, may make a desert fair,
A single cloud may darken all the air,
A spark may kindle ruin and despair.

A smile, and there may be an end to strife;
A look of love, and Hate may sheathe the knife;
A word-ah, it may be a word of life!

Ode to LIMU


My Ode to LIMU
comes from the bottom of my heart
and our humble abode
as
I experience Health for my Family
as well as Myself, in astounding ways
only This golden nectar can do.



With one look and faith to start
I turned the page to a new chapter in
Our Life's Book.

From that 1st day to this
I would be remiss to ignore
all the blessings LIMU has afforded
for
My Husband can stand up straight,
My Daughter hasn't been sick at all,
My Life is NOT sealed
in the Anorexic fate.


Again I must give pause
for just another moment
to give Thanks to God above
who
makes the laws, who opens
a window when the door closes
out of His merciful love.


The Body is Ours only to rent
with Us tucked safely inside
going along for the ride.
It
IS How we fuel it that depends
where Our Life path will end.

Free will is ours to take and
choices we must make,
Be it tragedy & sorrow or
joy & roses on the 'morrow.



Thank You Lord for Your mercy & grace
to provide All a Body needs to survive
in just 2oz LIMU twice a day
and
this new Life more abundant
in every way, affording me the strength
to face myself & my fears
to
walk The Road 2BRecoverED -
to come out the other side, at length,
For to honor and to glory in You
as
this New Life of my Family
and mine, takes flight under Your
Healthy way
Hallowed truely be Your Name.




Blessings of Peace & Health, Enlightenment & Prosperity to YOU!

The Blessing

LIMU 2K10 is finally here!
Over the next 48 hours TLC has brand new things are in store - new look, new products and even more.
I would like to take this time to give credit where it's due, to bring Honor & Glory to the Only reasons I have Survived & now Thrive through a terrible secret I kept hidden for too long even from myself.
With no further ado, here is The Blessing that changed my Life & will Yours too!



The Blessing

Amber nectar coursing through
my veins; Fucoidan pulling on
the reins -
Bringing my runaway body
to a halt; turning it around onto
the secure health of the asphalt.
My heart and blood are pumping
strong; making known that
recovery won't be long.
One day I will break through
the other side of this fog; all for the
Glory of the Merciful, Almighty God.
He provides the strength and
food to supply abundantly for
His brood-
In Him I do trust; drinking
Original LIMU everyday
Is a Must.




Six weeks before this poem came to be, I had to diagnose myself with Anorexia when the scale read 96 pounds as I stared at my gaunt 35 year old image looking blankly back through the mirror. Just days later with no idea how to stop the death coming, The Blessing that is LIMU The Original came to me.
The day i looked down & saw my veins plump - not shriveled - this poem leaped out of my heart onto paper.
My desire is that YOU will Receive 'The Blessing' so YOU too can be Blessed with Peace & Health, Enlightenment & Prosperity...just like Me.

I want to take this opportunity to Thank Mr. Gary Raser & his Family for for all their time & effort spent; for following a life's path that went against the grain so that YOU and I might gain a Life More Abundant through simple Health that God made possible since the beginning of time.

God said, "Let the land produce vegetation." When it did, "God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:11

We know not why,
"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty;
"And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:"
1 Corinthians 1:27-28

So Thank You Raser's for taking a few simple words to heart:
"Knowlege of the oceans is more than a matter of curiosity...our very survival may hinge on it." -John F. Kennedy, March, 1961

For trusting in Him, for Your Passion & Commitment - which may have seemed "crazy" at the time and now 6 years later only to find: a Contentment & Knowing through all the testimony's showing,
just how much God really Does Care!
Thanks for being a beacon & a light for showing that it doesn't always take might; just some Compassion & Caring and a propensity for Sharing the Good News of the Lord and for making True Health so easy to afford!



Blessings of Peace & Health, Enlightenment & Prosperity to YOU!

Out Of The Hollow

Cookies Cookies everywhere, to make and to eat;
but to actually Do is some sort of feat.
To reach for them...do I dare;
I hope and long for the desserts,
in the end only to find me beat.
My ana & I,
we have this strange relationship;
when i fight back she is very sly.
She keeps me busy so I will stay unfed;
finding only 3 kudos from Original Limu
as i lie at night upon my bed.
This body is strong and so obvious
is this mind, so why is the key
To Be RecoverED so hard to find?
'Get the body healthy and
the mind will follow'; words I
live by until i climb up and
out of this hollow!

A Quiet Knowing

Hello Friends and Neighbors!!

Just a short post to give You a Quiet Knowing bookmark. Have a Great Day!
Blessings of Peace & Health, Enlightenment & Prosperity to You!
Lady Limu




A Quiet Knowing

When my life starts
To spin out of control
And there seems no end
To the trials,
Out of the blue comes
A quiet knowing.
A quiet knowing that
Overcomes my
Troubled heart.
A quiet knowing that
My Father is
Watching over me.
A quiet knowing that
I do not walk alone;
Jesus is beside me.
A quiet knowing that I
Am His precious child.
As I look after my
Growing children, teaching
Them the ways of life, I
Know He is guiding me
In my growth.
When times start to
Trouble me, I always
Look forward to my
Quiet Knowing.
