Got Noni? How Creativity Heals You

Hello tender friends!

Happy MLK day from snowy SW Virginia! This kid was so excited to make a “snowman” this morning. And it’s so timely since he was making noni while he did so.

Noni gives you the power to heal yourself from the comfort of your own home. Creativity literally heals you.

If you’ve followed this blog for any length of time, you know that one of my passions is empowering people to take control of their health using free modalities / methods. Like everything else I recommend, I do so because I’ve practiced it myself. I can vouch for this!

I’ve been sleeping better than I ever have in my life, despite the fact that Cub wakes me up several times a night still. God tells us to pursue peace. Creativity is a path to deep peace.

My personal writing has been transporting me to a magical realm as of late. I kind of cringe to admit this, but I’ve begun a (painfully bad) first draft of memoir about the years I spent in Spain after undergrad. If the word memoir is making you groan, I get it.

I felt that I had no right to write a memoir. I thought that unless you were at least 80 years old that it was just a thin guise for self-indulgence.

But two friends of mine who are the same age in my writer’s group recently started their memoirs, and I thought maybe I’d give it a go. I’m 38, which I still consider young, but I’m also old enough to be confident in the fact that not everything I say is stupid and naive anymore.

This is the gift of moving towards what some people consider middle age- you trust your own opinions in ways you couldn’t as a young woman dying to please everyone around her. You trust that you have something to say that is worthwhile. You start loving yourself enough to have the audacity to devote time to saying it instead of dismissing your heart and mind as inferior and unworthy of expression.

Here’s the information about noni, with my emphasis added:

“Noni is a sacred healing herbal fruit used by native healers for many centuries. Known as a super enzyme activator, it is high in proxeronine which your body converts to xeronine, a key regulator of all cellular proteins and enzymes. Your body naturally produces xeronine when you are: relaxed, laughing, being creative, and feeling happy. And accordingly, your body uses up xeronine quickly when you are: stressed, angry, irritated, fighting illness, in pain, or exposed to toxic substances.”

What would change if western medicine starting prescribing creative practices instead of pharmaceuticals for mental and physical ailments? I imagine beauty would abound instead of illness.

So if you don’t buy the supplement, you can write or paint or build something and heal yourself while you do it!

Ok, that’s all for today, tender friends! Thursday’s post will be a continuation of this. Thank you for stopping by, thank you to all of the new friends, and have a great day!

Thank you for sharing!

      Thank you, teresa! S/I’m sure that you have it covered with making your essential oil blends, as that’s a kind of creativity!

        Yes, and I’m working on a girl’s day “tea time” with my daughters and granddaughters for next weekend. We try to do this yearly.

        I also loved your idea of memoirs- can’t wait to read that!! I have a beautiful leather journal that I’m slowly working on a novel (based on the people/family in my home town). It really takes an overflowing of my soul to get started but it will feed itself, once the momentum starts.

    When I looked at the first picture, it looked like the dark area at the carport opening was a shadow, and the carport was hovering above the ground. It took a second, and then I felt a little foolish and laughed.

      I can see it now that you said that, Don! That’s actually kind of a cool optical illusion.

    This would be a great subject for a Toastmasters speech! I am very interested in hearing more about your writers’ group

      I hadn’t thought of that, but good idea!

      I know it may be short notice, but I actually belong to two different groups, and Roanoke valley Christian writers has one of their monthly meetings this Thursday at 6:30 at Gracie covenant church. You’ll be warmly welcomed if you want to stop by!

      Oh my goodness, someone who know about Toastmasters. Are we a dying breed? Tell me its not so. Are there any young people(under thirty?) in your group? How about in their thirties? I’m not using sarcasm. I’m completely serious. I have mentioned Toastmasters to people in my life and I have had to explain.

    Snow is unusual where we live. But it has happened. Everyone has a story, no matter the age. Now wisdom in your story, that comes with age.

      I’m amazed it’s actually stuck because of arctic blast! I guess Arctic blasts aren’t all bad!

    I have heard of Noni, in fact in Jamaica we are very aware of its benefits. Girl, you are nowhere close to middle age but regardless I’m sure you have plenty to say.

      I’m sure you have so many healing things in Jamaica! I remember the men who helped us tour the blue lagoon looked impossibly young, and they told me the healing waters were the secret to remaining youthful.

      I personally don’t consider middle age to start until 50, but some of my friends my age see themselves as middled aged. And it does weird me out. I have a lot I still want to do in life and need many more years to get it done!

        Yes, in Jamaica we have a “bush” for every ailment. 🤣

        Well take it from me you’re not. I’ll say this, middle age does come along with some benefits like time-appreciation, wisdom, and self realization but there’s no rush needed to get there 😊.
