Whether you are dealing with a chronic health situation, or temporary but, or maybe expecting a baby or recovering from delivery, there will be times when you are NOT on top of things physically.  Then what happens to your well-orchestrated plan and the flow of your life when mom’s down and out?  How can we, as women, navigate these waters and keep them calm instead of dark and stormy?  Tune in as our host, Carolyn Pennington, relates her continuing trek towards health and teaches us strategies she’s learned to weather storms when mom is sick.

Challenge:  Gather things that give you a lift and place them in a drawer or box to bring out when you are sick or under the weather.  Include a favorite movie, a yummy chocolate, special notes from people in your life, a deck of cards, a special poetry book, scented lotion, a candle, soft bedsocks, and anything else that lifts your body, mind, and soul.  Add things to this collection when you are drawn to something that nurtures you.  And keep the chocolate well stocked!

Recipe:  Chocolate Smoothie

3 TBSP Cocoa Powder
1 can coconut milk – found in the Asian food aisle
