Ms. Halona Black is on a mission to help women realize how to fight the battle against fibroids. Halona says “I am not a physician or nurse. I'm an advocate for women's wellness and guide women through making choices regarding their reproductive health through an integrative approach. That means that food and lifestyle are of the utmost importance. I do teach cooking classes.” Welcome, Halona! Questions: What is your ‘why’, we hear that term a lot, but what put you on the journey to battle fibroids?   You say that ‘Herbal remedies are wonderful’, tell us more about them?     Some years ago, after my hysterectomy, I went to a Natural Medicine MD for an issue other than my hysterectomy. I honestly cannot recall, may have been migraines. After a few visits I stopped going because, and the main reason was because after she read on my questionnaire that I had had a hysterectomy, she said several times that it was too bad I had not come to see her before my surgery, that I would not have had to have the surgery. Hearing that more than once made me feel like so many negative things. Because the fact was, I had already had the hysterectomy and there was no turning back. You say that ‘Living a happy life is important. It's also important for women to know that even if they have lost their womb due to fibroids or other issues, it is still important for them to take care of their reproductive health.’  How exactly does a woman take care of her reproductive health if she no longer has a womb?   Some of the women in my group have had hysterectomies. Do you have any examples where someone was helped post-hysterectomy, and how?   Tell us about your 10-Day Detox book. It’s available on Amazon, is it available anywhere else?   Anything you did not get to discuss as we wrap up?   Halona’s contact information:  http://GarlicAndLemonsLLC.com www.GarlicAndLemonsMag.com.   Halona’s ebook is available on Amazon: Loving My Fibroids Away: A 10-Day Detox Plan Kindle Edition, $7.99 5-day ecourse on the website hello@garlicandlemonsmag.com  to order the physical workbook, $37.00 PLEASE NOTE: As Ms. Black mentioned, she is not a clinician. Please see a licensed clinician for health-related issues and questions. Thank you.      Thank you for listening to this episode of Childless not by Choice. I appreciate it!

Hello hello, hello everyone! Civilla Morgan here! Welcome back to another episode of Childless not by Choice, where my mission is to recognize and speak to the broken hearts of childless not by choice women, and men, around the world.  I am spreading the great news that we can live a joyful, relevant, and fulfilled life, although we could not, did not, have the children we so wanted. Thank my Patreon Contributors:   Patreon Contributors: (Patreon contributors are those who have taken an interest in my platform whether they fit the childless not by choice demographic or not.

To be exact!   We did a Facebook Live at the end of October to kick off the 30 days of GRATITUDE event all November. To close out November, we will do a Facebook Live inside the group, on November 30th from 6:00pm-6:30 pm US EST. If you are not in the group but would like to create a list, please do create your list of 30 items.  Use nice paper or a nice journal book, because I suggest you keep your list in a prominent place where you can remind yourself of those 30 things on a regular basis throughout 2018. A couple of the ladies in the group sent me words of encouragement for you! Isn’t that nice? Here is the first one:      The Other Me I took a path I did not choose Nor thought I'd ever take, My dreams were of Prince Charming And of the babies we would make. But something really bad occurred That destroyed those dreams so dear, And who I would be without them At first, was none too clear. From the shattered fragments Of my old dream I once had, I saw a shining treasure, And I wasn’t quite so sad. So, I now pursue a new dream Because I am an “Other.” I have joy along the journey, And I'm thankful for my mother. —Carol   This poem was written by Carol, one of the ladies in the Childless not by Choice with Civilla Morgan group. Thank you, Carol, for sharing your beautiful words with us. I am sure it touched many hearts!       And here is the other item:   Hi Civilla, I would like to share the 4 F’s: Faith, Focus, Fortitude, and Follow-through: Faith - in your spiritual being to nourish your soul and wellbeing. Focus - on caring for your physical & emotional health.  Don’t be afraid to seek out professionals to help you (& partner) to cope. Learn new ways to cope! Fortitude - Strengthen your heart with the love and support of those who love you, whenever you are feeling emotionally vulnerable. Follow through - with courage in facing your future. Know you can (& WILL) find joy, love and laughter again.  Move on to live your best life! This wonderful lady also said:  “I am grateful for my husband, without his faithful love and support, I don’t know where my journey in life would have taken me. At this moment in time, there are so many things I am grateful for and I just don’t have just one.  I know the above 4 F’s is a lot of words, it’s more like me sharing to the women who are not at this level of joyous contentment (I am at now). Once upon a time (dark times) I was in their shoes!” Aloha, Janice   Thank you, Janice, for your wonderful words of encouragement!   Well, I won’t read you my entire GRATITUDE list, but I will read you three things from my list, here goes:   My Parents/family—I couldn’t do this without their love and support even when they did not fully understand my grief.   The ability to help others through the childless not by choice grieving process—Some tell me that creating this platform is a gift. If it is, it is my gift to you.    The members of my childless not by choice platform/ growth of the platform—I am thankful for the trust you all have put on this platform. You have joined the Facebook groups, followed on Twitter, subscribed to the Newsletter. You have purchased the devotional, and most importantly, you have told me how much this platform has helped you. THANK YOU! I am thankful!   My word of encouragement for you: Well, here in the US we just celebrated Thanksgiving, so we are right in the middle of the Holiday Season. I know many of you are dreading yet another holiday season of no children to buy gifts for, watching other people’s children dressed in cute festive outfits, and maybe even spending more time alone than you would like. In our Facebook Live on the 30th, we will be discussing 10 ways to navigate The Holidays as childless, not by choice women. I hope you can join us. One of the things I suggest is that you concentrate on helping others. In fact, I mention helping others in different ways throughout the list. Helping others is that important to calming our nerves and our psyche. When you are considering others, it is difficult to dwell on what did not happen for us. As I always say, it’s not that we are ignoring our feelings. Our feelings are valid. Our hearts hurt. We feel like second-class citizens who missed out. I get it. But still, I say, we have a choice as to how we will deal with it. We can sit idly by, and watch the Holidays from our living room window, or we can go out and find an organization that needs help distributing, giving, helping, or listening. It’s all about choice.   Well, after this episode, there are two more in 2017! I feel like I am doing a countdown. The next episode on December 11th, I will be talking to Ms. Halona Black as we discuss the war on fibroids! That is a great episode especially if you deal or dealt with fibroids. And even if you had to end up having a hysterectomy because of them, Halona has some great suggestions for self-care! I hope you will listen in!   Well, I don’t want to sign off without reminding you to come join the Childless not by choice with Civilla Morgan Facebook group if you are a woman who is childless not by choice. The group has grown by leaps and bounds, and it continues to grow. There are women in there from all around the world, all on the same journey as you and me, navigating life as childless, not by choice women. Come join the conversation. Don’t attempt to do this alone, or only with people who do not understand. And remember, there is a Childless not by Choice Supporters group with Civilla Morgan for men who are childless not by choice and for everyone who is interested in the platform but may not fit the demographic. I will eventually get a childless not by choice men only group up and running, I will let you know when that happens. In the meantime, there are those two groups as well as the different Facebook pages available to everyone. So come on by!      My contact information: Website: www.childlessnotbychoice.net and www.civillamorgan.com Facebook: booksbycivillamorgan Twitter: @civilla1 Instagram: @joyandrelevance Pinterest: Civilla M.

Episode 9 of 24. A reading from the book Policies of Exclusion, Poverty & Health: Stories from the front. Compiled, with Introduction and Reports by Chrystal Ocean. Copyright 2005. Halona's is one of five stories by Métis, and native or First Nations women. Raised off reserve, Halona was born into a quite wealthy family. Until the family's breakup when Halona was eight years old, life had been good. Halona adored her father and he encouraged and supported her aspirations. After the breakup, it was arranged for the children to stay with their mother. At that point, Halona's life began to fall apart. Halona's story is one of abuse, poverty and addiction. It's also a story of one woman's immense determination to make a better life for herself and her daughter. Everything I am striving for right now is good role modeling for my daughter, my community and my family. My message to others is that it is possible. Don't give up. Fight back!
