What's Up Wednesday (April Edition)

Happy Wednesday friends! I am excited to link up with Mel, Shaeffer, and Shay for the "What's Up Wednesday" Link up! I have so enjoyed reading these ladies posts and am excited to join in! It is so fun to connect with so many other ladies who are doing this each month!
What We're Eating this Week...  Garlic. More Garlic. And yes, more garlic. So basically, as y'all know I spend every single day working to improve my immune system through the food that I eat, drinking tons of water, and the supplements that I take. I truly believe that working on building my immune system is just as important as all of the treatment I do to kill the Lyme. BUT whenever I travel I have a system that I start about two weeks where I literally kick that into overdrive. I do increased nutritional IV therapy, drink tons of extra apple cider vinegar, take extra silver, add lots of basil to everything, and eat tons of garlic which is one of the 17 foods that is known to boost your immune system. Despite my immune system registering at a very low percentage this helps me every single time I travel so I am smelling a bit like garlic right now. *smiles*
What I'm Reminiscing About...  As I shared on instagram, it snowed here yesterday. So naturally I started dreaming of one of my favorite past cruising experiences that included lovely Coco Cay, the beautiful bahamas, warm weather travel, and fluttering palm trees.
What I'm Loving...  Planning and dreaming about an exciting trip coming up to see my beautiful friend get married in July. Truly the Lord is good for preparing all of the finances from a friend to make this trip possible. AND I weep in gratitude over seeing how far I have healed in order to make plans like this and be able to go to her wedding. There have been so many life events and weddings I have had to miss out on over the years due to my health. To be able to be planning this is truly a dream come true.
What I've Been Up To... If you follow me on instagram than you know that this past month has been a whirlwind in so many different ways. My time these last several weeks has been slowly healing from treatment and prayerfully working through my upcoming speeches that I will give at a conference next week. (I am coveting prayers for this trip friends- as some of you know this is a complete leap of faith for me, traveling alone, giving these speeches, etc. Thank you for covering me in prayer! Truly the Lord goes before us...)
What I'm Dreading...  Let's be honest... getting a port in June. I would welcome any encouragement that anyone has heard or experienced? Thanks friends! I appreciate your prayers for all of this!
What I'm Working on...  Lots and lots of new items for the shop and a couple of exciting surprises that I will be sharing in the next few weeks! I can't wait to share with y'all!!
What I'm Excited About...  As I shared this morning, I am so honored, excited, and humbled to announce that my newest book, Path of Hope, was released!! You can purchase it where books are sold or on Amazon (also available in Kindle form) and you can click HERE to purchase it! 
What I'm Watching/Reading...  picture found on internetY'all know how much I love to travel and recently I have been reading about lots of travel things, specifically related to Phoenix, Arizona as I head there next week to speak. Does anyone have any tips for me on what to see in Phoenix? I haven't been there since I was a young girl so I really don't remember anything and would love some ideas! 
What I'm Listening to...  I shared this several months ago but if you haven't had the chance to listen to this beautiful song, "Jesus I am resting" yet, take the three minutes and do it right now. I promise you will be incredibly blessed! (Want to find out more about the Wissmann Family and check out more of their music? You can find their website HERE!)
What I'm Wearing...  Let's be real... I have been in comfy comfy clothes most of the last few weeks as I haven't felt that great but I am definitely dreaming of spring clothes! 
What I'm looking Forward to Next Month...  I am looking forward to heading to Phoenix to speak. It is going to be a leap of faith for me, going alone, having the energy for the whole trip, but I am confident that the Lord will provide. I can't wait to see all that He does next week!
I would love to know your answers to these questions friends! Share your thoughts below in the comments!! *smiles* Happy Wednesday!
