Hello World:
I’m just finishing the 9 p.m. prayer call. The playback number is 641-715-3517 playback code 994031#
if you would like to listen to it and be blessed. Our main focus in prayer tonight was PHYSICAL HEALING AND GOOD HEALTH. I realize that so many people deal with so many health related crisis. And I wanted to provide hope and comfort during tonight’s prayer. God has not forgotten anyone who is in need of better health. Healing is possible—whether it comes through medical science or supernaturally. Healing does happen and it can happen for you and your household. It is time to believe…and take better care of our bodies.
This time of fasting has allowed me to take note of physical changes in my body since I began this journey 10 days ago. I have noticed that my sleep is better. My mobility is quicker—no stiffness at all. My body feels freer and more alive. I’ve been building a list of healthy foods that I’ve been craving (in the midst of the crazy cravings..LOL). This list will become my grocery list when this fast is over. I’ve started planning new menus for my life AFTER this fast has ended. I have a greater desire to take care of the temple that I have been given. I have even repented to my temple/body for the crap that I’ve been filling it with over these years. I am not saying that I will no longer eat potato chips—that’s not the case—LOL. I will just control the amount of chips that I eat. I will make sure that a larger portion of my daily intake will include fresh fruits and veggies (organic, when possible). As many of you know, uncooked fruits and vegetables are called “live” foods. So, you already know what cooked, fried, processed, chemical-laden foods are called, right? Yes, you got it. They are called DEAD foods. Live foods help to sustain and bring life to our bodies. Think about it. Dead foods…well, you know the rest. Live foods help to flush the body of toxins and wastes in our bodies, as well as provide the necessary nutrients for our bodies to perform at it’s peak every day. Yes!
With the holidays approaching, I am glad for the breaking of the chain of gluttony. A toast to controlled eating, good health and peak performance!!Cheers to that. (I am lifting up my bottle of water for tonight’s toast—LOL).
Good night, guys.
Much love to you,

Hello World:
Let me share with you my thoughts about today—
Wow. I am amazed that it’s the end of day #6. I was not as hungry throughout the day as I would have expected—especially since I had 2 major growls in my stomach today. You may have heard them where you were (lol). Anyway, I was blessed to be reminded of wisdom from a new friend (hey Dr. Haniah) about the detox process and the importance of the impurities leaving the body during the fast. What’s funny is that I have a whole notebook that I’ve put together on fasting from previous years and I’ve read tons of stuff about it—until this fast. I did not have time to properly prepare before entering it. I have always relied on the water as the sole provider of what it takes to move the toxins out—for myself. In talking to her and listening, I was pushed in my heart to continue a regimen of cleansing that I began on Saturday but discontinued due to uncertainty. So, her advice prompted me to call my highly respected friend and brother, Franco Taylor, whose products I had pondered during this fast and attempted just 2 days prior. I had purchased his products a little while ago, at a time that I was still struggling with this ugly monster of gluttony (and the ugly monster was still winning). So, I called him up and he confirmed to me that I did need to use his “Body Broom” and his colon cleanser daily on this 40 day journey. By the way, if you don’t know Bro. Franco Taylor, then you need to get to know him at www.rightstuffhealthsystems.com and watch his videos. He has dedicated his life to health and wellness in a way not often seen in our country. He lives this thing called “discipline” everyday. Check him out.
So, I have added his products (still no food) to this journey to move out the waste in my body while I’m fasting.
What I’ve learned today is how it is so easy to allow food or anything/anyone else to take the space that is supposed to be occupied by the components of purpose in our lives. Gluttony for me has occupied spaces that I’m not even yet fully aware of. It causes me to examine my life in layers. To sit here typing to you on my computer tonight having eaten no meal for several days, no potato chips , no soft drinks, no sushi, no cheesecake, no key lime pie, no guacamole and all of my other favorites (Is anyone besides me seeing “visions of food” right now?—LOL) Back to my point:
—in “mainly” (smile) a state of resolve and calmness…is a sign that the chains of bondage are starting to loosen in my life. That is “greatness” peaking it’s head. In fact everyday that I continue this path of self-denial and self-discovery, hand in hand with our Master Potter and Creator, I’ll see greatness find me—I will not have to search for it. Amazing.
So, think of what or who occupies your place of purpose. What’s causing you to cry in the dark? What are you hiding from the world? What is your ugly monster that won’t seem to die? No matter your level of success, true greatness only shows up in an honest and surrendered environment. How willing are you to experience it? Let’s be found by it—together. Join me on this journey. Sacrifice food only according to your physical and mental needs. It does not have to in any way be the fast that I’ve undertaken (water and a glass of juice). I am also adding fresh squeezed lemon to my water as of today…great detoxifier as well. About 4 months ago, I stopped adding lemon to my water and started drinking either plain water or other stuff filled with sugar and caffeine…but I’m back!!! (smile)–Thanks for that reminder as well, Dr. Haniah.
Okay, what are you waiting for???? It is not too late to join me. Submit your comment at the end of this blog and leave your name (or initials), city and state and the type of sacrifice you’ll be making. You are welcome to tell us the reason you are joining us on this journey. Remember: You are not alone.
Much love to you,
Melody Sherra

Hey World:
Let me begin by saying that I am so grateful not to be as hungry as I have been the last 5 days. I have 34 more days to go on this life-changing journey. The other days I ‘ve awakened with great weakness and crazy hunger. This morning was much better. It lets me know that my body has started feeding off of itself (that’s a good thing) as well as the internal cleansing that’s taking place now. My skin is dryer and scaly because my body is throwing off toxins through the skin. Yippee!!
