Not Taking The Blame

An actual picture of the elusive chicken feather guy rounding up his animals in the morning.

The other night, the horse guy, as opposed to the chicken feather guy, let his animals out to graze. Up and down the road they went, eating whatever tickled their fancy.

The next morning, the guy whose wife and kid planted some corn on their lot down the road came charging up to the house, beer in hand at 9 am to yell at me. He didn’t get too close. All three dogs got riled up and wouldn’t let him within 100 feet of me. Mr. Aggressive wanted to know if we had goats. We do. I didn’t deny it. He said that the goats ate all his corn. I said they didn’t. He should check with the guy who has sheep right next to his lot.

So Mr. Aggressive went down to that house and banged on the door. The Borrega guy only comes before and after work so I shouted down that he needed to try at 5 pm or 8 am. You could see the steam rolling out of Mr. Aggressive’s ears.

The corn field in question.

Mr. Aggressive went to town for some barbed wire and another beer and went at it. He hammered and drank and drank and hammered for 20 minutes or so. Curious, I decided to mosey on down after he’d left. Sure enough, he put up some sort of wire thing–not exactly a fence. He also nailed up a sign which I couldn’t figure out. Something about putas. If I couldn’t figure out the sign, what makes him think the livestock will stop and read it before helping themselves to young, tender corn shoots?

So the next morning, Mr. Aggressive lay in wait for Borrega guy who denied any and all knowledge of any corn eating. Borrega guy also pointed out that the poop right there in front of the lot wasn’t sheep or goat poop, which resemble little rabbit pellets.

Not sheep, not goat, not even horse.

I’m not sure that the cow patty convinced Mr. Aggressive of anything. Neither the Borrega guy or we have cows. Of course, we could have brought one from another location to divert suspicion I suppose. Last night, the chicken feather guy let his animals out to graze again.

I have to quit rolling my eyes so hard. I’ve nearly given myself eye strain.

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.

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.
So there you have it! The reason I share these featured posts with you! I have found them to be quality products that can be used to help anyone live their life to the fullest. I hope that you find some of them useful as well.

Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle 2019

It’s that time of year again! Ultimate Bundles has released a new healthy living bundle and let me tell you, it’s chocked full of useful information. I bought my copy a few weeks ago and have been steadily working my way through the materials a little each week and haven’t even made a dent. There are 47 eBooks, 33 eCourses, audios, and workshops, 11 printable packs and workbooks, and 2 summits., worth $3236.39.

Take a look at the topics:

Allergy-Friendly
Alternative Health
Brain & Mental Health
Chronic Illness
Diet/Detox
Exercise
Garden & Home
Healthy Kids
Hormones
Lifestyle
Nutrition
Recipes
Sleep

As I mentioned that I haven’t gone through everything just yet, but here are some of my favorites so far.

e-Courses

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. Ktichen Spices for Whole Body Health makes it so easy to add a few herbs to your diet to improve your overall health. How to Create Your Own Action Plan for Recovery helps you design a plan that best suits your chronic health condition.

The Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle is incredible value on its own, but if you purchase it this week, you will ALSO be offered the Herbs and Essential Oils with my book Exploring Traditional Herbal Remedies in Mexico included for only $35 extra! That is $15 off the bundle’s current price AND less than my book alone sells for on Amazon.
This Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle with the Herbs and Essential Oils addition is only available from September 4 to September 9, so don’t wait too long to get yours. Plus, if you order, you can take advantage of these healthy bonus offers!
