I hear you about having a teacher personality (I got my Master's in Teaching and that's part of why I blog!) and it's very insightful of you to realize that it's easy to pass it on to others before absorbing it yourself. I struggle with the same things. Thanks for writing, and I'm glad my archives are being read!!!! Best of luck with your journey! Carrie Amy Jane,

It is for sure a journey; and we can only start from where we are. I hear you about having a teacher personality (I got my Master’s in Teaching and that’s part of why I blog!) and it’s very insightful of you to realize that it’s easy to pass it on to others before absorbing it yourself. I struggle with the same things. Thanks for writing, and I’m glad my archives are being read!!!! Best of luck with your journey!

I am quite new to these concepts (and vaguely resentful of some, at times, since they are so demanding). Living in Alaska these challenges seem bigger, though I know people who are working towards this, so I can't call it impossible. My difficulty is that I need to "look to the ways of my own house" and be very specific and "selfish," waiting until I am convinced for myself (Rom 14) before I stretch too far (I'm told I have a teacher personality, & part of my absorbing is passing it on, so I need to confine that to my own family...) *Anyway* all of that to say thanks for writing and I wanted to give you a reason your archives are being rifled through lately. ;o) This is fascinating to read.

I can relate to your experience with acne (was on Tetracycline and Accutane). I also grew up with a horrible diet (my mom was the typical working mom of the 70's and 80's). I am new to eating a traditional diet and have been fortunate enough to have access to a source for raw milk and grass-fed meats. I am very impressed with your site and I added you to my food blogroll. I'm also Eastern Orthodox, btw! May your Advent be blessed!

I think your theory is probably right, and I suspect that I have a prolapsed uterus due to my structural pelvic issues, which could possibly throw things off, I wonder?

Laura Jo, and I can so relate, as you know!!! I definitely think Cod Liver Oil would be a quick and easy supplement to take and would cover a "multitude of dorm food sins" so to speak! My brother is also a college student and he has his little stash of CLO that he keeps with him. <br/><br/>Ok, and as for the rest of the quesitons I think it would be better for me to address them in a separate post, coming soon!<br/><br/>Stay tuned, ladies!<br/><br/>Carrie Laura Jo and Kelly,
