Over the past month I have experienced the worst pain that I have ever known. I had a Shingles outbreak. It has been painful, debilitating, and outright frustrating. I did learn a few things though. I am deficient in vitamins, sleep and overall health. I was put on an antiviral which helped a little but did not treat the root cause of the symptoms. Below are a few things that I learned that I could take to build my immune system and keep the shingles virus dormant.

Vitamin D3 @ 50,000 iu

Vitamin K2 @ 500 mcg

Magnesium Glycinate @ 400 mg

Take the first two for 2 weeks then decrease to D3 @ 10,000 iu and K2 @ 100 mcg for 90 days.

I really hope this helps. Here is the link to the YouTube channel episode where I found this information: https://youtu.be/hkI7bxIm2e0?si=Ai9vWuVy53GFBtXt

Ooops! The episode that I referred to is actually episode 4 not 3. Anywho, there are several things that you need to do to winterize your chickens if you live in a cold climate. Now is the time to get your coop ready for winter. Preparation is a must on the homestead.

If you are considering homesteading then you need to try to find a community of like minded people. We need each other and it is always helpful to learn from those who have already been on that journey. There are so many people who are willing to share their know-how and experiences.

Every moment of every day we have the power to choose. What will I wear today? How will I greet my fellow employees or family? Will I return the nasty gesture of the person that cut me off in traffic? Every day is a day to choose either good or evil. In today's episode I bring encouragement to choose good.

In Acts 23:11 Paul was facing persecution from the Sanhedrin and others who disagreed with the gospel message that he was preaching. While sitting in the barracks, the Lord himself, came to encourage Paul on his journey. No matter what you are facing, the Lord himself, is standing by your side saying, "Take courage". Be strong in the Lord and the power of His might.
