Words can't describe how excited I get when I come across people that totally inspire me. Let me introduce you to Danielle Walker the author of the cook books Against All Grain.
I will not go into depth about her sorry, because frankly, I won't give it justice. To read her full biography visit her website.
But I will give you very tiny highlights. She was very sick, at the age of 22 she was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, an autoimmune disease. She would spend about six months out of the year severely sick, and other half trying to recuperate. All this, while doctors consistently told her that diet had no factor on her disease.
Finally tired of living in that way, and realizing that traditional medicine was not helping, she took matters into her own hands. After much research and listening to her body, she was able to nurse her body back to health. It is a must that you visit her website to see photos of before and after and to read about her journey. http://www.daniellewalker.com/#/my-journey/ The point here is that she didn't sit around waiting for traditional meds to fix her. Had she done this, God only knows what would have become of her.
Danielle is a Best Selling author and a very successful blogger that has been able to reach thousands if not millions, by simply sharing her story. When she decided to share her story it was in an effort to help others! And I believe that is how success truly reaches you (no matter what success looks like to you).
Today, I want to encourage you to think outside the box; don't settle for the things you've been told. I encourage you to follow your intuition, your heart, to listen to your body and see where it takes you.
I am not an expert on food at all but I do know this, my body definitely tells me what it doesn't like. Once it does, it's up to me to listen. Are you listening to your body? Or are you ignoring it simply to get that immediate satisfaction. If you are, make a deal that you won't ignore it anymore. Starting today pay attention to everything, like that knee pain you've been having, maybe it's due something you're lacking in your diet. Or that constant headache you have, don't numb it with over-the-counter meds, find a natural solution for it. I am not suggesting that medicine is bad, but it is my opinion that they are not always the best or only option. Danielle's story is just one of many that proves my point.
By the way, this goes for everything in your life. Is someone telling you it can't be done? Is someone in your life putting a ton of obstacles between you and a dream you have? You must not listen. You must take matters into your own hands, do the research, lean in and go for it. No one can tell you what's possible or not. So go for it, listen to that little voice inside you, it knows a lot more than those naysayers around you! That 'thing' inside you might be the very thing the world needs!
Till Next Time!
