Health, Wealth and Prosperity
It is a beautiful Day in Billings, Montana. Today is sunny.
Molinda E.Goforth
The view from my window is incredible this morning. I love to see the sun rise, the different colors that fill the sky and messages for the day. Today the sunrise was red…“Red sky at night, sailor’s delight. Red sky in morning, sailor’s warning” According to folk lore, the red sky carries much moisture, so something may be on the way……
Health
No matter how much I verbalize that the weather doesn’t affect my health, I am lying. Warm sunshine agrees with my soul and bones. A priority with me must be to generate the funds to live where I am more comfortable.
My health is at the top of my list. For the second time ever, I had a scare and an unpleasant Urgent Doctors Report. The ten days following, I basically consumed a liquid diet and antibiotics. Before my follow up visit, I will consume items from the Health Food Store, lots of Water and monitor how I feel.
For the past week, my staples were:
Supplements were included.
Next week, I will include some fruit and a a couple bland vegetables. Spices will not be included.
Good Health means looking good. Two weeks ago, my friends were saying, “You look so tired.” More comments like, “Are you sick?” ” Haven’t you been sleeping well? “
These aren’t the comments I want to hear. It’s time for active change.
This afternoon, I have an appointment to get my hair done! Next I will hear: “Looking good this weekend! ” How about you? What are your friends and family saying about you?
Time for Exercise
Loving my Apple watch to keep track of what I am really doing. Sad, I can’t bear to share this week, because it was close to Nothing!
Monday, I have an appointment to visit a health facility with a warm water pool, hot tub and of course the usual machines for exercise. Lord Help me to pay attention.
Finances

My Foundation
Most important is my foundation with God. Greeting Him the first thing each morning and inviting the Holy Spirit to Guide My day through the Valleys and let me hit the Highs with Hinds Feet. My scripture this week is:
Isaiah 41:10 – So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Thank you for visiting with me, Let’s

My ABC’s Today is F
My ABC’s
F… Day 6 My Definitions for verbs starting with F
F – Music Note: Music notes are named after the first seven letters of the alphabet: A, B, C, D, E, F, G. After tomorrow, my ABC’s won’t introduce the day’s activity. It’s been enlightening to call to my attention the different sounds of music.
Verbs to live into this day are:
F- Finish: Life! Living life each day to the fullest, without regret when it’s time to call it finished.
F – Food: I am aware I left the joy of food at several fast food stops along the way. You know the drill, late for work, grab a cup of coffee, no time for lunch, eat greasy french fries hot and loaded with Salt, exhausted for dinner, grab a great fast food sandwich on the way home and finish with a bowl of sugary cereal before bedtime. This week, I have focused on a simple ingredient…water.
F – Finances: This one hurts. My money is financed, not invested. Daily action to delete the credit is essential. I have the plan for freedom outlined.
F – Fun: Designated fun time allowing for creative thoughts, play with children, revisit and welcome imagination.
F – Fast: Slow down and let the good times last. Last week my heart rate was so high, it frightened me. I went to see a Nauropath and it concerned her to the point she recommended I see a Cardiologist. Actually, I withdrew, had a close communion with God and made a commitment to slow down, enjoy life, food, health and home. I am blessed! My heart rate is normal today.
My ABC’s this week highlight music and it’s importance in my life. I recall hearing several people say, I wish I could play an instrument. All I can play is the radio. Well, if you are one of those, good for you. Play the radio and enjoy. If you really want to play an instrument, stop wishing and learn to play.
In the Bible we read, Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
I have fasted from all News this week, weather, political, fake and real, just living my life in my space and determined to do a kind deed each day for someone.
I learned to strum the guitar when I was six. The big Gibson my dad owned was much bigger than me. I loved to feel the strings, the different textures, and sounds they made. In my teens, I could play rhythm guitar well and the piano, an organ and the symbols. Yep, sometimes it was just a joyful noise. It’s important to listen…. lets revisit the scripture.
He asks us to Make A Joyful Noise Unto the Lord…..come before his presence with Singing.
Sing happy and good songs. Play what you can, you can always play the spoons! Smile and be happy. Tomorrow, we will celebrate the Lord’s day and
Go Forth and Prosper

My ABC’s Today is C
My ABC’s
C… Day 3 My Definitions for verbs starting with C
Surprise! It is a music note! Let’s sing success.
C is the first note of the C major scale, the third note of the A minor scale and the fourth note (F, A, B, C) of the Guidonian hand.
All of the above information seems very technical. When I was a little girl, I learned the sounds of each note and to this day I identify the key a song is played in by those sounds. Someday, perhaps we can discuss chords, not just notes.
Isn’t it fun to bring music into each day?
C – Bank Note a 100-dollar bill. See C–note defined for English-language learners. My action for the letter C is to generate a $100.00 before the first of August.
C – Calm: The past week my heart has played the part of a race car, rhythm far too fast. I found a meditation for the heart. While listening, my heart rate slowed to the beat. I entered a calm serene state of being! It was healing to visit this place.
C – Celebrate: Each day I will celebrate something that gives me pleasure.
C – Comfort: Many of my friends say they feel comforted when we talk. I thank God for those comments. With an act of kindness, I will intentionally comfort someone each day.
C – Cook: I have just completed a course from the Masters with Gordon Ramsey, teaching cooking! I fully intend to pursue more classes and make each meal a Celebration.
As you can see, many action words are associated with the Letter C in my world. One of the most important is:
C – Can: Philippians 4:13 New King James Version (NKJV). 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Each letter added from the alphabet will include more action on my part. This is a month of transformation, establishing patterns to become habits and insure I live life to the fullest. I Can do these things.
Three days into the design of this series and I feel a shift in my thoughts. I am so excited to know what lies ahead. For now, it’s time to enjoy the moment and,
Go Forth and Prosper,

Monday’s Menu
Monday’s Momentum Menu
Monday Momentum: strength or force gained by motion or by a series of events, eg The ice pic gained momentum as it rolled down the hill.
Horrible events happened at the house Sunday. I take full responsibility for the results of the day. I did not go to church. I should have. I did not take my granddaughter swimming like I promised. I should have.
I did chip ice from the steps, very physical as some of the ice was 4 inches deep. I should have done that Saturday. A heavy ice chipper slid down the hill, curved and landed on my foot. It hurt!
I made my son angry. Oops, I cannot make him angry. He chose to be angry.
Sunday screamed for a change. Have you ever felt like it was time for a change?
On Excellent Avenue, my behavior was unacceptable. Sunday is over, reviewed and forgiven. Forcing action for today generates the momentum for this week.
Let’s share a success menu. For food, remember we are doing Keto. Weight Watchers will happen as soon as I get my body detoxed.
First on my Menu: Appetizer — Keep commitments, avoid the awful feeling described above! Enjoy peace, harmony and share joy!
Breakfast: Protein shake
Lunch: Mixed Green Salad with a sliced hard-boiled egg and sugar-free dressing.
Tuesday Dinner: new recipe from KETO comfort foods by Maria Emmerich.

Keto or Paleo for Dinner Menu?
Monday’s menu was supposed be a written and posted February 19th. The weekend prior to the 19th, I researched, read, and generated thousands of thoughts before committing. Monday, the menu was not ready. Today is Friday and I am completing this post. Remember, Friday is Finish Day.
If I were good with this communication, I would have shared a ton of questions and asked for encouragement. Instead, I struggled. My Second issue was technical. In my head, I could see the way I want this to look and read. From my head to my fingers it did not compute. I am in the messy middle of a learning process.
Finally, I selected the Ketogenic diet. Dr. Mark Sisson suggests the 21 day step down diet to Keto.
Recipes I am using this week are from Maria Emmerich’s book, Keto Comfort Foods. I ordered The Keto Reset Diet by Mark Sisson. I read his blog, testimonials and for me the reset diet right. It is a 21 day step down from my “normal” eating patterns.
The past two months I refrained from sugar with every meal, ate very little bread and did not drink Sodas. Deleting these items will be a great boost going forward.
I am Excited and looking forward with anticipation to health improvements, energy and improved skin and hair!
This weekend I will complete the grocery shopping list for this month. Changing foods will not be as expensive if daily trips to the grocery store are avoided. Monday should be good for sharing the list with you!
Tonight we had Cabbage soup made with:
-
1 Large Head of Cabbage
-
1 Large Onion Sliced
-
1 Stalk of Celery
-
2 quarts of chicken broth
-
Salt
-
Black Pepper
-
Chunked Bacon Bits
Fry the Bacon Bits Slowly in Olive Oil. Add sliced onion and 2 table spoons of butter. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 45 minutes.
go forth and prosper,
I will go forth and write…haha

Two Thousand Miles Away from Home!
It has been so much fun to drive across country see people I haven’t seen in 3 years. Did you realize we look older after 3 years? Now, why is it some folks look younger after 3 years.
My judgement of appearance was those people who were happy, at a great weight and at peace seemed younger than I remembered. Other friends had endured hardships, hung onto them and the weight of the world had taken a toll.
For the journey, I promised to post everyday. I have had a meeting with myself and the self that does not keep her word is Fired!
Here we are destination Woodbridge, Virginia. My last stop and task for this trip was to stop in Durham, NC and see the surgeon who fixed my foot. As you know, it wasn’t fixed has gotten progressively worse each day for 3 years. He was sad that his fix did not work. He assured me, he could fix it! While that maybe my option, my next task is for a second opinion.
I have an appointment at John Hopkins September the 8th! I am excited as this is the number one hospital and looking forward to the Verdict!
State of the Art Medical Facility
This week has a full schedule. Wednesday, I leave Woodbridge and travel to Charlotte to discuss business with Jan.
Thursday, it’s time to go to the Dodge Dealership in Spartanburg for the recall on my car.
Friday, I will travel to Middlesboro, Ky and visit with Family.
Saturday is the Asher Family Reunion in Corbin, Kentucky.
Would you like to have pictures of this week’s travel?
Goforth with me,
Molinda Sue
