I played golf with my daughter on Saturday and took my wife out for dinner. I also performed twice on Sunday with two different ensembles, one where I played guitar and the other I played bass guitar. The ensemble where I play bass is a new group that just got together a couple of weeks ago and each week new musicians (who are excellent) continue to appear out of the woodwork. They all have great voices and sing excellent harmony while two of them can play drums and switch off on guitar. It's incredible because I prayed to God the other day to help me to make a difference with my music ministry, and now I can see the attendance increasing and both congregations appear to be listening more intently to the word of God and to the music which I believe exists to supplement God's word and help lead people to seek God's truth. /Alex

The siren calls to you, "O' my sailor, I hear your anguish. Your rage calls to me! But I can help you, my sailor. Come to me and I promise to match your anguish with the cries of the storms, your rage with the wrath of the waves. To me, my sailor, and together we can make pay those who wronged you. Together, my sailor, we can destroy any who oppose you. I promise you this, the oceans and their powers can be yours, if you only join me, my sailor."
The siren preys on your ambition and on your hunger for power. She knows what you crave but are too weak now to pursue. But she can help you… You are often in the leadership position and hate when others tell you what to do. You know that you know best, why would anyone suggest otherwise? Why would they doubt you? You want everyone to recognize your potential, your confidence, your ambition. But you may be secretly worried you have none of the above. To quell your insecurities, you may be hiding behind pomposity or arrogance. The thought of anyone seeing through your façade of confidence is enough to make you crumble. But falling apart isn’t allowed, you’ll just have to work harder, now won’t you?
Basically: Someone hurt you and you want revenge. Or maybe you never want to be weak ever again. Either way, your ambition grows and you need power to supplement it. You’re probably the leader friend or the strong one and either way someone needs to check up on you.

Yeah. We don't get enough sunshine in Ireland to have proper VitD & we don't have great calcium or phosphorus either so our bones are terrible. Vegans get our calcium and the likes from plants which works better w/ the human body so our bones break less. But we're typically low on VitB12, VitD & Omegas, even when we're very strict with our food. It's due to our food affecting our absorbtion. For example, omnivores need less of a certain vit in order to absorb the correct amount but we need more bc we'll absorb less of it. But that's only for very few vits, really we absorb most vits better than omnivores & we tend to have better nutrition levels even without supplements. They're just an extra help.
I'm v sensitive to VitB3 & bc the multivitamin I take contains it, I avoid having things that have it added bc I'll get headaches & feel unwell for a few hours.
I don't need to supplement things everyday but I typically do anyway bc I've an eating disorder & may start to feel shame if it's not in my routine or I could get obsessive with how much of each vit is in my food otherwise. So for me it's definitely better in the long run to take them daily. They also help my hair, nails & skin which is great bc I have neon hair, have a disorder which makes me bite my nails & my skin is negatively affected by my type 1 diabetes.
I take Holland & Barrett's vegan multivitamin supplements that contain A, D, E, C, B1, B2, B3, Pantothenic Acid, B6, B12, Folic Acid, Calcium, Iron & Zinc. They contain a lot of vitamins but not a whole lot of every vitamin included.
I also take a vegan Omega capsule for brain function which is most important as a vegan. If you look up Miley Cyrus on the Joe Rogan podcast she talks about how her brain wasn't the same on vegan food in comparison to a pescatarian diet. But she's v uneducated on the difference between the two & the fact that vegans NEED omega supplements unless they're consuming nothing but chia seeds all day.😂
My omega supplements contain Omega-3s(ALA & SDA), Omega-6s(LA & GLA) & Omega-9(oleic acid).
I'm big into skincare nowadays & use a vitamin skin spray every morning that has vit B5, E & C. My skin is more evenly coloured w/ it, softer, more resilient to the harsh Irish Winter weather & more refreshed even when I'm still super sleepy in the morning.
My skin is clear, my energy is great, my mood is fab & more stable(especially considering I've mental health issues), my hair+nails+skin heal and grow faster, hair+skin are softer, I recover from things faster & rarely get ill, remember things better, less headaches, less zoned out. But vitamins aren't a cure, they're just a lil extra help.
I'd recommend them to most but it varies a lot based on the person, their food, residence, routine, s3x, how often they go outside, if they're pre-natal/post-natal/neither etc.

Meat is referred to by medical specialists as a "food pain trigger" meaning it causes pain, but isn't known to prevent it.
What it is known for tho is being packed full of hormones which can cause migraines when you're having withdrawals from it.
If you don't want to stop eating meat but do want to cut down, have no more than 70g of red meat or processed meat a day.
Meat alternatives can also be a great replacement as an almost placebo and also for nutritional purposes.
Animal dairy, especially cow's dairy can prevent you reaching your maximum potential for iron absorption.
Vitamin C helps absorb iron.
I'm also anemic and all supplements I've ever been on said to consume them with a meal so I used to try to have my daily worth of VitC in the meal I consums the iron supplement with, if not at least 3/4 the daily need of iron.
Iron supplements often don't give you iron/much iron, they just help your body absorb it so it's best to still eat loads of iron rich foods.
Some foods rich in iron are tomatoes, spinach, tofu, white beans, dried apricots, cooked soybeans, spirulina, pumpkin seeds, lentils, dried peaches, peas, prune juice, quinoa. So put of these you could cooked some quinoa as your carbs, which is fast and inexpensive to cook. Then fry up some tomatoes, peas, spinach and tofu and have that as a meal. You can even add tomato sauce for extra iron and add in whatever else you want like bell peppers for VitC.
Bit C rich foods are sweet potatoes, white potatoes, cabbage, turnip greens, red and green bell peppers, winter squash, tomatoes, broccoli and cauliflower.

I don't want to tell you "it's impossible for meat to prevent migraines" because that's probably not the case, I've just never heard of it happening. So if it continues go to see your doctor and get a blood test done and tell them about the migraines.

I'd say overall just cut red or processed meat down to 70g a day, if it makes it easier and causes less waste, just buy minced meat and keep it frozen until you're using it. It might even help to meal prep, especially with a young baby in the house so you could buy a container of minced meat, divide it into 70g portions and freeze the portions in separate bags or containers. Cronometer is a huge help too. Their app is a once off €2.50 charge. But their site is free to use. You can just type in what you eat or plan to eat that day and it'll tell you if you've been getting enough iron, vitamins, minerals, carbs, fats etc. so you can see what you need more of.

Some great meat alternatives other than the obvious fake beef/fake chicken etc. is tofu, tempeh, soy pieces, beans, lentils. Even just pouring gravy or spices typically used on meat over vegetables can help them taste like meat.
