My Mom's Transformation!


My mom's transformation!
Mamma Mia! my beautiful mom went through some years of completely neglecting her health and beauty. She justified it by thinking it was an unselfish "sacrifice" so she could focus on the family. But really when God started to wake her up to the fact that she could be free to enjoy learning about health and beauty and take time for herself- she served the family FAR better by her example than by "denying herself for us". 
Here is my mom, Rozanne, in her twenties: What a hottie!

Here is Rozanne as she started to have 3 girls, taking care of her mentally handicapped brother, and being a dutiful wife- with no parents or family on her side to support her.

This is her in 2009 on a family vacation. She is still pretty but doesn't have the healthy glow and has gained weight over the years. She is supporting all of our dreams but not expressing herself. She loves to learn and teach (she was a teacher) and gets into Christian spiritual books and teachers but hasn't found that thing that really ignites her passion.

Around 2011, my sister started praying for my mom and dads health. At this same time my mom stumbled across some youtube videos from a fun, charismatic, down to earth health teacher named Dan the Life Regenerator. She started to find joy in eating whole raw food, juicing, learning and discussing health combined with the spiritual mindfulness all of this was bringing about in her. She had fun with it- we went to raw food restaurants, she went to conventions, natural food stores and gained a lot more confidence in her body and self. I've noticed she worries less and enjoys the present much more. She is passionate about sharing what she's learning and enjoys connecting with other like-minded people. I caught her passion and have started making my own changes. Now I have a passion to share the health message with Christians who sadly seem to neglect their bodies and fail to do what's best for the holy temples God gave us to dwell in.

Here she is today at 63, after losing 20 lbs (and she is still on her way down) and finding health and vitality the natural way!
