A Day of Fifth Grade Homeschooling

By Barbara Christensen I Be Light Create LLC - 8:46 AM

Homeschooling... I loved it, then I hated it, then I loved it some more. When she was younger it was so much easier, but now, not so much. Fifth grade has been complicated over the summer. However, I have finally gotten my groove back. So I thought I would share a day of Fifth Grade Homeschooling from last week with you to help give you ideas.

We have struggled with finding a math program that works for my daughter. If your child has ADHD, you understand. If your child also has Dyscalculia (Math Blind) then you are reading with wonder. What will work? We have found that Teaching Textbooks is a fantastic opportunity to keep reinforcing what she's learning to drill it home. We've done Singapore, We've tried Saxon, we've done just about every math program you can imagine. So sharing this is hopefully going to help you, the way it is helping us.

Every day we log into the computer (it's on a disc) and we start by going over the problems she missed the day before. Then she moves onto the next lesson which starts with a TT Lecture and then the practice. We're several days behind in the Math Workbook so that she can yet again, reinforce those lessons we just went through.

Also last year we started using Oak Meadow for some of our curriculum. It's been amazing. I love the English/History combination as well as the science. We've completely failed at embroidery so far. Thankfully I have a homeschooling community to turn to.

Life Lessons From The Trainer I 2014 Look Back

By Barbara Christensen I Be Light Create LLC - 7:28 AM

7 Lessons I Learned in 2014

At the end of the year I like to go back and look through what I've learned, and build on the items that really had a major impact on my health, relationships, business or just the way I look at the world. I want to share with you 7 lessons I learned about all of these areas last year, and maybe the will change something for you in 2015.

My list of lessons I learned:

1. Sometimes in order to let go of something, you have to realize it is already gone.

I had a heck of a time this year right from the get go. My emotions were truly on a bender for most of the year. Between losing some relationships, realizing that some of my goals just were not going to happen in the way that I desired, and that was like this booming ah-ha moment. Think manifestation and how it happens on it's own time schedule and in it's own way, right?

What does realizing mean? First it is becoming fully aware of something as a fact, or understanding a situation fully. Or second, to cause something desired or anticipated to happen.

I had to realize that my control is gone the second I put something out there. Be it love, knowledge, desire.... I cannot move something that is not me. Get it? So I let it go. I started this meditation journey this year and I have let go of that fear of the great beyond. I'm allowing my own journey to happen, and reminding myself that others are on their own journey and I can only guide.

2. Leaky Gut syndrome is BIG time.

I started realizing this year... being fully aware... that leaky gut is something that I was really dealing with. Over the year I did several candida style clean outs, and am finally getting rid of that overgrowth and the parasites that went along with it. However it wasn't until a few months before the year ended that I accepted the fact that I needed to address my leaky gut. So I am. It's a journey, but the more I learn, the more people I realize are dealing with this just like I am. So it's not just me, it's our society. That means that if we don't address it we're going to see more and more people dealing with this in ways that are just horrific to think about. Surgeries, medications, passing on debilitating epigentics. This may well be one of the top health items of our generation.

3. The most important life key is service.

I think I love this, but I also had some additional ah-has related to this life lesson I learned. When you are working with someone, it should always be about the service without any attachment of expectations.

4. You need to have boundaries.

Here's the second part of that life lesson... some people are just looking to suck your energy. You have to go through the key areas of designing your life by serving, of course, but then as you are building this relationship does it drive your purpose? Is the relationship aligned to everything that you are...business and personal. If not, draw a boundary and move into a place where you are healthy and fulfilled with the relationship and not resentful and unhappy.

5. I love you potatoes, but that doesn't mean you are my friend.

I love and crave potatoes just about every day. But what I'm truly craving is not the actual starchy hot mess. It's the vitamin B6, potassium, copper, vitamin C, manganese, phosphorus, fiber, vitamin B3, pantothenic acid and resistant starch. Healing my leaky gut and taking the properly methyalated B vitamins is a big help. But I have to remember that I need all of the rest of the package too. Sometimes I still have potatoes. I like to make them, dice them, cool them so I can have them the next morning. I just don't have mashed, or baked potatoes anymore. They are not my friend. They bloat me and frankly for those of you like me, the nightshade family is very gut-irritating. So onto squash.

6. A picture is truly worth one thousand words.

When marketing your image people will look if it's visual. Almost all of the time. People like pretty. they like seeing something. It connects to who we are. A study called “13 Reasons Why your Brain Craves Infographics“ (NeoMam Studios) reports that we’re “visually wired” – almost 50% of our brain is involved in visual processing. So if you are trying to connect with a growing audience, adding a great photo will do that.

7. I want to go global in a bigger way.

I have finally come to a place, even with the horrible year for airplane crashes, that I am ready to get beyond my fear and travel outside of my comfort zone to places of beauty. Why not. I'm in need of more visually stunning arenas to live in. Isn't that why we love photos? So that is something I hope to add to this year. Hopefully I can take some of my global business friends with me.

My experience with the Vegan 21 Day Portion program I Hemp Seeds and Soy-Free

By Barbara Christensen I Be Light Create LLC - 11:13 AM

My experience with the Vegan 21 Day Portion program

#Soyfree #vegan is a pretty hard way to eat when doing the #21DayFix You're not going to get the protein in the way they've built into the plan, but that's okay. Beachbody made it 30% of the calories, and most people are fine with less.

And idea that was thrown out by the resident Beachbody nutrition dude, and I agree, is skipping a couple reds and replace them with two yellows each (1 red=2 yellows). Now, make sure of each yellow pair, one is beans, lentils, or peas. That could be pea protein shake, soaked beans {always soak}. Beyond Meat even makes a pea based "ground meat" that you could use. And make the other some type of grain or my preference is a grain-free proteinesque option. Avoid the processed ones like rice, amaranth, millet, buckwheat, barley, oatmeal. I'm generally anti-grain, although after a good clean out and leaky gut healing many people can use some grains.

Quinoa is a wild card because it has acceptable amounts of all the essential amino acids (as does soy) so use that where ever, but can be a gluten-free personal issue. If you have gluten issues, quinoa may not be for you. I personally can't do quinoa. However, I like using mashed cauliflower, as a head of cauliflower has about 11 grams of protein. You could even make a great cauliflower hummus!

You can also do hummus (bean container) and these Thyme and Onion Crackers from Leanne Vogel
I modified because I am allergic to sunflower seeds, and so I did hemp seeds, and lightly pulsed them because grinding them turns it into hemp seed butter. And hemp seeds are a great sub for soybeans. A complete plant protein. In just three tablespoons of raw hemp seed, there is a whopping 10 grams of complete protein. The difference is, the hemp seeds have been "technically" put in the orange container category, but if you are vegan you know that hemp is a part of your protein source. But a full red container of hemp... get out of town. LOL... so if you are going to use hemp seeds, then use the orange in place of the red for measuring, but count it as either a part of this red substitution of two yellows, or orange if you are using it alone. Also homemade hemp milk is a yellow.

Modified Recipe:
Ingredients
1 cup coarsely chopped sweet onion (Vidalia)
1 large clove garlic, minced
¼ cup grapeseed oil or coconut oil
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
¼ teaspoon Himalayan salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
1½ cups roughly ground flax seeds or milled flax seeds
¼ cup hemp seeds, pulsed gently

Directions
Preheat oven to 225F and take out two large baking sheets. Set aside.
Place onion, garlic, oil, thyme, salt and pepper in the bowl of your food processor. Pulse until onion is completely pureed.
Add flax seeds and hemp seeds and pulse just until combined.
Transfer to a large bowl.
Grab a piece of parchment paper about 10 inches wide. Scoop ½ cup of the cracker dough, roll it between your hands to make a ball, then place on one side of the parchment, in the middle.
Fold over the parchment (like a book) and then roll the dough between the two pieces of parchment until it's about ¼-inch thick. Fold away the top half and cut or rip it away. Score the crackers into 1-inch cubes. Keeping the crackers on their current sheet of parchment, transfer the sheet to a baking sheet and repeat.
Bake for 2 hours, flipping halfway through and removing the parchment paper. The baking time will vary greatly on how thick/thin you make the crackers. You want the end result to be crisp, crunchy with no moisture left.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
Makes 75 crackers, 5 crackers per serving.

Vegan options for your red containers would be: Vegan meal replacement shake, veggie burger, any vegan protein such as hemp, rice, pea at 1.5 scoops.
