Sunrise on Grand Lake O the Cherokee, Oklahoma Copyright 2014 by R.A. Robbins
Greetings from beautiful Grand Lake O the Cherokee in the great state of Oklahoma! It is also our new home. I get up early in the morning and walk the equivalent of about a block and a half to the water to watch the sunrise and spend quiet time with Father God and Mother Earth.
Celiac Disease Awareness Month is almost over. I have enjoyed sharing the way of living and eating that keeps me healthy with you. If you have been diagnosed with celiac disease your life is not over. There are still many wonderful foods you can enjoy. Give yourself time to experiment and you may even find foods you like better.
If you believe you have celiac disease or gluten intolerance you will want to consult your healthcare provider. Remember you must be eating gluten for diagnostic tests to be successful.
For more information on celiac disease, check out the celiac disease resources on the My Gluten Free Life page here at Espirational.
If you are looking for positive tips and suggestions for living the gluten free life check out my newest e-book The Gluten Free Good Lifeavailable in the Amazon.com Kindle Store. In the book you will find practical solutions of living gluten free, including the importance of attitude and of course a few of my favorite recipes to get you started.

“Let us examine our attitude toward peace itself. Too many of us think it is impossible. Too many think it unreal. But that is a dangerous, defeatist belief. It leads to the conclusion that war is inevitable—that mankind is doomed—that we are gripped by forces we cannot control. We need not accept that view. Our problems are manmade—therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.” — John F. Kennedy in his 1963 A Strategy of Peace speech.
