it is bad.

-Coconut oil contains healthy saturated fats unlike polyunsaturated
and hydrogenated fats (check your labels for these ingredients)
-can tolerate extreme high heat, unlike vegetable oils
-can be used in cooking, baking, and in smoothies
-it doesn't elevate LDL cholesterol
-reduces digestive disorders, supports overall immune functions, helps
prevent bacterial, viral, and fungal infections

Greetings Friends,
It seems that my lesson in life right now is patience. Even
though it is very difficult, I have found it provides a wonderful
opportunity to see things you may normally miss. Patience allows
you to see each new flower, each smile, each blessing, and each
gift in life. Each day try not to miss the little things that
surround.

Clearing Space for Spring
Take the Mini Space Clearing Test:
- Do I use it?
- Do I need it?
- Does it bring joy into my life?
- Is it broken or damaged?
- If lost in a fire would I replace it?
- If called to move 5 times in one year, would I want to pack
and move it?
- Is to attached with negative thoughts, emotions, or memories?
- Would my heir find this valuable to keep?
If you answered "NO" to any of these questions, give it away,
have a garage sale, or donate it.
This month join me in practicing these actions:
-Go through one room at a time
-Create Donate, Sell, and Keep piles as you go through each room
-Break your emotional connection with the possession, but don't
suppress them
-Celebrate after each cleaned area
