Let’s Talk About Health A Minute

Every so often I feature a course or bundle or book that just amazes me. I tend to get so excited about it that sometimes I forget to mention WHY I’m sharing it with you. Therefore, I’m going to take a few minutes of your time and do that now.

One of my main reasons for writing this blog is to chronicle our struggle to create a life lived to the fullest in central Mexico so that others can learn from our mistakes and successes. One of the components of a life well-lived, whether in rural Mexico or any other place, is wellness. To that end, a good number of the featured posts have to do with healthy living. 

Because I sat next to my mother-in-law as she lay dying in a hospital here in Mexico, I became an affiliate of Travel MedEvac Insurance. No one should have to lie alone in a hospital, far from friends and family. I want others to know that there is an alternative available.

Because I found myself in a foreign eco-system without even basic plant knowledge, I became an affiliate of the Herbal Academy. I learned so much about how to study plants and herbs and their properties, both beneficial and harmful. Knowing about our local environment is a skill that should not be lost. Our lives depend on it.

Because I couldn’t see which was greatly impairing the quality of my life, I became an affiliate of EyeBuyDirect. Inexpensive eyewear sent even to La Yacata in central Mexico, talk about a game-changer! Plus, for every pair of eyeglasses I buy, I can donate one to someone else in Mexico.

Because I am committed to learning (and love to read) but find it hard not only to make ends meet but to find books in English on themes I love, I became an affiliate of the Ultimate Bundles. The value that is packed in each bundle, no matter what the topic, is outstanding. Everyone, no matter what their budget, should have access to knowledge.

UHLB2019 Full Bundle

For example, with this latest bundle, the Ultimate Healthy Living bundle, I received 47 eBooks, 33 eCourses, audios, and workshops, 11 printable packs, and workbooks, and 2 summits worth $3236.39 for just $37. I have months of goodies to keep me occupied. And, of course, this subject of healthy living, just like June’s bundle on Herbs and Essential Oils, is near and dear to my heart.

Seven Secrets to a Healthy Mind was an extremely informational e-course about how to improve your overall wellbeing. Perimenopause and Menopause e-course was exactly what I needed personally to rethink this new phase of my life.

Books and Workbooks

The Wellness Framework is an excellent self-assessment tool to find out where you are and create an action plan to improve the five wellness pillars: nutritian, sleep, movement, mental wellness and support.

How to Create Your Own Action Plan for Recovery helps you design a plan that best suits your chronic health condition.

Hold Your Horses

So our neighbor up the hill, the chicken feather guy, has begun his let the animals out to forage during growing season rigamarole. The cows, pitiful scrawny creatures, are set free at night. And the horses, during the day. 

The chicken feather guy’s yegua (mare) has a colt who reportedly is 5 months old. This poor undernourished foal is only half the size of Red, who is just 2 months old. The other horse he has is a black and white stallion, which would be absolutely stunning if he weren’t in such poor health.

Unbeknownst to us, Cookie, Red’s mom, has gone into heat. This has made the stallion go completely nuts. He’s down by our horses every single minute. Of course, he isn’t strong enough to get the mating act done. His legs are too weak from hunger. So that just further frustrates him.

He also seems to think Red is a threat. Granted, Red is a male horse and he does still nurse which of course is an intrusion into what this love-struck stallion believes is his. So he kicks out at Red, who doesn’t understand and doesn’t go far from mom, which results in more kicks. 

The other day, B.W. Stallion (black and white) was giving the horses such a hard time that I went out to try and separate them. Well, that was a disaster. Lady was running up and down in hysterics. Red was getting hurt. And the dogs were chasing Stallion up and around. Stallion just wouldn’t give up even when I tried to shoo him off, mindful of not getting too close to those hooves.

My father-in-law happened by and tried to help. We decided the best thing would be to put the ladies and Red in. Wouldn’t you know it, the stallion decided he was coming home for supper too and marched himself right into the stall. It took some doing to get him out. 

About then, my son came home too which was a good thing because some of the little chivitos (goats) had escaped while we were trying to get the horses in. The dogs were still chasing Stallion around the house. It took another 30 minutes or so to get everyone, including the dogs, back inside and calmed down.

Stallion decided he’d wait at the door for a while. He did finally head home. We certainly got our exercise that morning! When my son went to complain to the chicken feather guy about the free horse, his response was “se me escapó.” (he escaped). It isn’t true. The walls around the chicken feather guys’ compound are 12 feet high. Nobody escaping from there. AND there’s the fact that this happens EVERY day. Se me escapó my ass.
