I was just posting a blog about shedding the old skin in order to have the new you. It reminds me of how many different phases I went through in my own healing process. Having clear skin is actually very easy but when you don't have it and you are struggling, it seems like that is just too good to be true. I had the most extreme case of eczema that doctors had ever seen. They loved to marvel and show their constituents the bleeding, oozing, crusty skinned girl who had walked into their sterile office looking for a cure. The best they ever gave me was some temporary relief. Nothing wrong with relief as a stepping stone but I was interested in it being permanent. When I first changed my diet, my parents really thought I was going to die. I had contracted so many illnesses over the years from not being able to ward much off. As the years went by, the illnesses were more and more severe and I was spending not only more time in the hospital but literally almost dying on several occasions. It was so dramatic to see my skin clear up in only 2 weeks of some simple dietary shifts that it started me on an investigation that has now lasted almost 20 years. Incredibly it just gets better and better all the time. The consistent thing that I do is shed my old ideas and be willing to do things differently. I might eat a little differently, think a little differently and do things a bit differently now but the results are nothing short of miraculous. I got off a plane last night and it was Christmas day. One of my seat mates and I were chatting on the way to baggage claim. She said it was a miracle meeting me as I simply gave her a little hope for her own condition she wanted to clear. She's willing to shed a little of who she believes she is in order to have clear skin and better health now. Maybe it is a miracle and I'm willing to be living it each and every day!

Because we all can be and do and have so much more than we might realize but it takes willingness to shift and shed some of the old skin. Everyone can start by making some small shifts and start from there.
