You know, as we move through humanity’s growth and expansion we come up with these really great catch phrases, motivational instructions that keep our attention for a bit.

Written and posted by Jackie Olmstead, December 4, 2021 – I saw a great image today of what my life situation feels like. Every day I look to my guides and the universe around me to help put into the physical what it is I am facing. Everyone has their own way of consulting that …
Like we don’t already know what kind of cook we are?! But isn’t it fun to do some quizzes to confirm what we already know about ourselves? I mean, I’ve taken tests to confirm lots of things… I found out: I’ve got great gut health, I used to have lots of autoimmune disorders, I am a “Woman Who Loves Too Much”, I’m an empath, I’m an Indigo Child… Actually, I call myself an “Elder Indigo” because I’m born before a lot of you figured it out too. If you don’t know much about them here’s some basic info, a quick read:
(The big step between I can’t and I won’t is here, knowing WHY to switch) You can buy it from the stores OR you can make your own EVEN if you don’t have a Vitamix/Blentec blender. Secret to making your own: Always soak nuts/seeds overnight, drain really well, FREEZE in bags. After frozen, smash it up with your old meat tenderizer (flat side) or hammer (gently). Then it’s always measurable. Most of the time you can use a 1:4 ratio depending on your preference. Lately I’ve been using a 1:5 ratio (i.e. 1 cup nuts and 5 cups filtered water).
Good luck to you and let me know if you put together some bowls for your family. This is only one example of being able to create a master meal from some of your favorite ingredients around your kitchen.
Published on 9/9/2021 by Jackie Olmstead — Good afternoon, my friends! I recently had a wonderful conversation with my good friends about how I am feeling regretful about not being as on “top of” my writing or business goals.

Logically, you would think that Jackie Olmstead would have grown up with little to no health issues since her father was a physician and her mother a nurse. But at six months old, she was diagnosed with asthma. Being hospitalized several times while enduring breathing treatments, steroids, antibiotics, inhalers and oral asthma medicines was challenging and a lonely and scary way to grow up. All the treatments, medicines and emergency room visits continued into her forties but at least she didn’t have to be admitted to the hospital anymore since in-home nebulizers became available. Viruses, flu bugs and sometimes exercise would trigger an asthma episode that would last for one to two weeks. It was expected usually a couple times a year. Other diagnoses: IBS and depression in 1983, hashimotos and hypoglycemia in 2007, depression and anemia in 2015. With the diagnosis of celiac disease in 2015, she was forced to relearn overnight how to shop, cook and eat without gluten. Determined to never be sick again, she researched for months the safest way for her to eat: Whole foods, plant based and of course, gluten free. Miraculously, today she doesn’t own any inhalers, and has only once had to take steroids with her nebulizer since 2015 because of a bad cold in 2020.
Published August 7, 2021 by Jacqueline Olmstead What it used to be like I’m not sure what medicines they gave me when I was diagnosed with asthma at 6 months old in 1968, but I do remember having to use inhalers, the breathing nebulizer and taking steroids, theophylline and theodur by pill in the 1970s. …

Published July 10, 2021 by Jackie Olmstead Good morning, my dear One! Today I am discussing the ideas of how healing begins after conquering the addiction. After. The processing of healing and how patience and compassion remind us that not only is our life full of “day at a time” mantras but also one-addiction-at-a-time thinking. …
