Does Your Bacteria Whisper?

I had just started my blog in April of 2010 and was afraid that nobody would be interested in cultured foods. I decided to do it anyway. I believe we are all guided to do things but it comes in whispers, not loud sounding trumpets. One such whisper came from my daughter Maci. She told me I needed a Facebook page to help people find my blog and then quickly made me one before I could protest.

Whispers - One of the very first people who wrote on my Facebook page said, "Inspire us, please. Do something!" I gulped hard, and my eyes filled with tears. I had a huge desire to tell everyone what these cultured foods could do, but wasn't sure how to go about it. This stranger moved my heart and gave me the nudge I needed.

Whispers - Just a few days later, a man named Chris posted on my Facebook page. He was asking how to make kombucha. Chris had just discovered that he had cancer and was seeking answers. What I later learned was he had also been learning codes and website design on the side for a couple years and didn't even know why he was doing it . . . whispers. About a year later, Chris helped me build a membership site and redesigned my website. Now, he is my web manager and responsible for the way my site looks and runs and so much more. He's cancer free and is one of the people I most depend on to keep things running smoothly.

Whispers - My older kids had friends who had gone to school for videography. They entered a contest to film a commercial for Nerf. If they won, they would get $10,000 and the commercial would be aired during the super bowl. It was a long shot, but they won and started Sound and Shadow media production company. Three months later, I hired them and they do all my videos for me. We've become close friends and I've helped their families find healing from health problems.

Whispers - A woman named Jane contacted me and asked if she could help me edit blogs in exchange for a Biotic Pro membership. I told her no. I didn't want just anybody doing this. This was precious to me and I didn't know her. I kept seeing her name pop up on Facebook and in comments on my blog. The whispers kept coming. One night she showed up in one of my dreams and my previous editor was wanting to do other things. Finally, I asked her if she would still be interested in helping me. I hired her and she edits all my blogs and info and is a trusted and wonderful friend. I love her.

If you watched my story video (click here) you will know that cultured foods found me and shouted loudly! No whispers this time. That's okay, I needed their help and they needed me. I'm their voice. I'm so glad I listened.

My life is filled with all kinds of these incidents. When I began to pay attention and follow these so-called whispers, it changed my life. Everything I needed was doing its best to get to me, but often I would brush it by and not listen. But it kept coming all the while, I just needed to pay attention.
