Happy Veteran's Day to any board members who have served or currently serve, and their family members.

I am the proud daughter of a recently retired naval officer (38 years of service) and the sister to a current naval officer (5 years of service). I am forever indebted to theirs, and others, service.

thanks girl :) I hugged him on Friday morning---my mom and I got such a kick out of finally being able to call him a VETERAN!

and a salute to your dad in his service, as well. xoxo

With the holidays coming up, it makes me appreciate what our soldiers, sailors, and airmen are sacrificing each and every day.

I just got back from the Remembrance Day ceremony here in Clarington. I love it - they really know how to honour our vets in this town - a huge turnout every year - rain or shine (of course, it poured this year....). I controlled myself very well this year, as the kids and Terry were with me this time (being a Saturday, instead of a weekday. I usually ball my eyes out every year.......

Sending huge hugs to all the vets, those who made it back and those who didn't and those who are currently serving......

Here is something beautiful I would like to share:

Our Veterans' Day Parade was really great this year. Our JROTC Color Guard was infront of the entire parade, which was one the greatest honors I and my other fellow Color Guard members has had. Once we got to the Courthouse, four of our cadets were choosen to do a flag holding similiar to one that we did in DC.

It brought back memories of the stories I heard at Arlington, the reality of what our soliders went/are going through to keep our nation safe. This day is so special---to remember all Veterans, whether they be alive, in Arlington or buried in the smallest town in the United States, we owe so much to them.

God Bless all---especially our Military and Veterans today :)

And don't forget to give yourself a pat on the back today. There are not many young people such as yourself that want to participate in the Color Guard and support your country. Three cheers to you Ashley!!!!

We are proud of you as well.

You go Girl :D:D:D

Every 11/11 when we wake up I wish my husband a happy Veteran's Day with a kiss. He laughs at me. It's been 27 years of doing this.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease. Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗
