Back to the basics- AGAIN

by Claire Rae
written by Claire Rae

One step at a time...

It’s been quite a time this last couple of years, it seems like recovery has become a regular thing for me. From severe concussions, tumors and broken necks I think by now I can say I know what it’s like when people go through tough times. I’m not going to say it’s easy but I will say that there has been a lot to learn throughout it all and that I’m more grateful than I’ve ever been for the decent health that I do have; without health we really have nothing. 

After my accident I really needed some time to regroup, rest and recover, those things have always been hard for me. This year has been an interesting test of faith but surprisingly a real filling up of it also. It’s weird how some of the worst things in life can leave you either faithless or filled to the top with hope and expectation.  I feel filled, blessed and excited about what’s to come and how God will turn it all around. In my experience, after a lot of trials and tribulations blessing usually start raining down. God is so faithful, loving and kind and I can’t wait to see what’s next. Whether rain or shine I know that He is right there with me. My recovery time has been good for my faith growth and has given me a level of peace that I have never known. Maybe there’s just something about almost dying that makes you realize nothing lasts that long in the grand scheme of things so might as well make the best of it.

I am still weak and still do suffer from quite a bit of pain from time to time but that is normal and to be expected. I don’t think it will be long  before I’m fully healed and ready to be active like I’m used to. My hope is while I focus on my diet and exercise and incorporate some naturopathic and physical therapy remedies I will be back to full health in no time but patience is likely needed as some injuries can linger. 

As for training, I have been starting at the basics like walking, laundry folding ( you’d be surprised how much this can hurt when you first get started) and working my way up to chopping wood and other mountain chores. I find some days I just want to push myself because it’s hard not feeling strong but when I do I end up having to nap or just end up really sore sitting in ice baths. Either way, it’s all part of the process and I know it will get better with time.

 

I’m not quite ready to share with you all what’s been brewing behind the scenes but I can say that God is doing a new thing in this season and there is a lot to look forward to for those who love Him. Don’t let anyone tell you different, especially if you have been suffering many challenges. God is good all the time, “All the time God is good” even when it doesn’t feel like it or look like it. There is a plan and purpose for it all. 

 

I pray that you are doing well and thank you for all of you have prayed for me during my recovery, I am praying also for you, your loved ones and our nations.

Royal Recovery

by Claire Rae
written by Claire Rae

I’m going to make this quick because I have already explained myself on Instagram and YouTube. I was in a very bad head-on collision on June 26th. I currently have a broken neck which although is pretty crazy in of itself, it could have been a lot worse. I’m extremely grateful for the angels watching over me. I will be taking the next few months to recover and rest and try and get my mind and body as healthy as possible while I work through the current challenges. 

Unfortunately, that means that retreats this summer are cancelled and although I am upset about it, I hope to be back and ready for some winter fun.

I’ve been doing YouTube videos about my faith journey if you are interested, find me on there and take care for now!. Please know I don’t have all the answers but enjoy sharing anyway from time to time. Just so you know share but don’t usually keep my videos up for long. 

My Neck Back Ninja Update is here: YOUTUBE

I am just working through the struggle of what’s been happening the last couple of years and so go easy on me. It’s been a lot of challenges and so I’m sharing how I am working through it both mentally, physically and spiritually. It’s not easy but hopefully at some point we can all have a good laugh. 

I hope you are having a great season and nothing like this is happening to you. If it is, please reach out, I’ll be praying for you!

God bless!

Summer Update

by Claire Rae
written by Claire Rae

Wow, it’s been a minute. So much has happened in the last month.

 

I moved back to BC and started a new project out in Revelstoke, BC. 

 

I wanted to just jump on and give a health update and some of the things that have been helping. If you followed any of my winter health issues including a tumour that was removed i wanted to update you and let you know I’m doing great and feeling much better these days. I was suffering from quite a bit of pain and couldn’t quite figure out what was going on but I have had some relief as of late and thought I would share some of the things that I did.

Addiction

by Claire Rae
written by Claire Rae

I’ve honestly been putting off writing this post for a while now because for some reason it just felt too painful at times to talk about. Instead I usually just repost recovery stories in my Instagram/Facebook feed or bits about addiction and alcoholism to keep the message alive for those who either love someone who suffers from addiction or for those who may be fighting to overcome addiction. The truth is way more people suffer in silence than we know and that goes for both addicts and those that love them. 

Talking about it is just the beginning of healing…

FIT SOUL-Lifestyle Program

by Claire Rae
written by Claire Rae

This program touches on the aspects of the fit life that include sharing your journey with family, friends and those around you in a loving and exciting way. 

There is an ongoing self-reflection when it comes to those who strive for excellence. Finding balance in all things is the key to long term success. 

Many fitness programs focus on exercise and diet alone but this program focuses on how to stay motivated while making your life about others. When you realize how needed you are and how inspiring others is the ultimate motivation, you will never see taking care of yourself the same way. Being surrounded with love is about creating a loving and healthy environment. Taking care of yourself is the first step in loving others.  

Having a Fit Soul is all about how to create and maintain a healthy life for yourself and those you care about. Do it for them and reap the benefits of a long happy and healthy life.

I know where my help comes from

by Claire Rae
written by Claire Rae

Hallelujah

It’s a time to celebrate and just take a moment to be so thankful. March 2nd was Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. If you don’t know what that is, it’s the fast before Easter to recognize the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross for our sins. It lasts from March 2nd to April 14th this year. I have not always been an observer of this tradition but this year it seems important, not only because the state of the world but because of the personal understanding that I need God’s grace and mercy on the daily. I have so many things to be thankful for and in that, I want to make sure to revere God and His graces. Perhaps you feel the same?

Results are in

I got my results back from my tumour removal and it looks like it’s negative for cancer! Just an issue due to chronic inflammation which is still something I’m working through but a much easier pill to swallow. That is a reason to celebrate and praise God all day! I believe this was all part of a journey God has been taking me on to heal, learn, restore and then teach some valuable lessons that I can then share with you. I am beyond grateful for this report and feel so relieved to know that not only does God hear our prayers about health matters but also heart matters as well. He will work through the issues one by one if we are willing. 

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD. Isaiah 54:17

The “C” Word- Cancelled

Moving Forward

As I move forward and work through the health issues, I believe I will be back in full swing sooner than later, at this point I want to call it all minor. I am working on a few things in terms of the spiritual aspect of healing as well that I hope will not only complete my healing process but also give you the tools when it’s complete. God has never given me a challenge without giving me the solution through His word and Holy Spirit guidance. 

As for Lent

There are few things people fast and I see this being highly beneficial not only on a spiritual aspect but also a physical. Here are a few things you could fast and are quite popular. It should be something that you do regularly that will bring Jesus to mind every time you reach for that thing. It should hurt a bit to remember what Jesus did for you, because what He did was unbearable to imagine. 

  • Fast social media
  • Fast sweets
  • Fast Coffee 
You know what your habits are, pick one that will give God space and time.

Sweet Nothings

Sugar the Silent Killer

It’s all fun and games until you get sick, I know all too well how easy it is to get carried away when enjoy the sweet stuff. No, it’s not everyone’s weakness but it is a major problem in our diets these days, the worst  part is many people have no idea that it’s the sugar in their diet that’s making them feel low, gain weight, have brain fog and be moody. Instead, people think it’s a variety of other things, run to the doctor only to get pills that don’t solve the simple issue; Simple sugars that are hiding in your diet may very well be a bigger problem than you may think.
