How You Doin, Grandma?




During COVID-19, I chopped my hair short and stopped dying it. Ever since, I've embraced my grey hair, thinking it cool or chic. Other women around the same age as me also embraced their natural locks. We were a part of this cool Vermont trend. And then it happened. The other day, a young man/punk walked by me and said, "How you doin, Grandma?" My inner child, the one called four eyes in middle school because I wore glasses, became infuriated, and I did not have a what would Jesus do moment. My response was visceral, and I felt my middle finger rise. I hope you are laughing right now because this is so out of character. My hand was at my side, so no one saw, but I knew what I did was wrong. I felt hatred, but God asks us to overflow with love for others. God never asks us to be perfect, but he wants us to love others, and if you, as I did, have a response that wasn't so loving, we can ask for forgiveness, ask for Jesus' help to love others that rub us the wrong way and move on.


Philippians 1:9 says, "I pray that your love will overflow more and more and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding."

Heather,

This is great info to share ! I recently had my second bone density test and it had improved from the first one. I trust that it due to the strength training classes I attend with you and my diet !

Hi Heather, excellent information on Bone health. Also, I just finished the 31 day challenge and it was fantastic. Looking forward to the 28 challenge starting tomorrow. Thank you for having all this information and for the great workouts!

Hey, thanks for the info Heather. It actually makes a lot of sense. Haven’t thought about that before. Looks like I’ll be adding a little salt and a little maple syrup!

A great all natural deodorant is made by Little Seed Farm. Honestly, it is the only natural deodorant that seems to actually work for me.

Great information Heather, I’ve been there too and just a side note for those gals (like me) who suffer sensitivities to chemicals, my savior was apple cider vinegar to “kill bacteria” after washing and then I used coconut oil rubbed in the pit area. I also added essential oils of lemongrass or geranium for a scent. The ACV was only as needed sometimes takes a few days to kill all bacteria causing smell and then daily with the coconut oil.
