“USA 🇺🇸 North Carolina ~Monthly Blog Series of….It’s Never Dull!! ~FEBRUARY 2024”

Here we are in February, already! Our decision to remain in North Carolina, for a total of nine months, makes us happy, each and every day!

Aside from the obvious, of getting to be with family, we also have time to actually socialize! We meet people everywhere we go, but we haven’t stayed in one place very long, or very often to get to know people.

For Daryl and I, it also means NOT being tied at the hip. It’s actually strange that I’m on the beach so much, without him, for example. We aren’t used to being apart, but we are adjusting just fine. Ha!

I appreciate Daryl supporting my passion and obsession with all the beach combing. He is also “at the ready” to meet the kiddos at the bus stop, when needed, for Chels to remain at the beach, as we Shark Teeth hunt, since we always have different beach times, based on tide times.

In addition, I like to mention, it’s a privilege for me to even be on Onslow Beach, since it is a private beach on the Camp LeJeune Marine Base. I can’t go inside the gates, without Chelsie, since access to the base requires me to be with, in my case on this visit to North Carolina, a retired Marines and/or their dependents of said, retired Marines.

I truly have the greatest daughter, because she understands the passion that comes with finding shark teeth. If she is unable to spend the day on the beach, with me, she will pick me up and get me through the gates, and return at the end of the day (or when I’m ready) to pick me up and get me back home.

Like Chelsie, Kaylee; my friend, is able to access the military base as well, since she is married to a retired Marine. We have enjoyed many days on the beach, together, since we’ve arrived in North Carolina, as well.

Looking for Teeth on the beach, one often works with the low tide for best (most of the time) results in “finds.” Low tide times change every day, so on this one recent day, Chelsie picked me up at 4AM and we headed for Onslow… BECAUSE, when low tide is early, ya do dark thirty!

We spent the next, 9.5 hours hunting and walking about five miles. That was a record for both of us; time spent hunting on the beach!

Sunrise was beautiful and the whole day was, as well. We both found a lot of variety in teeth, today, in spite of the high tide, during the eventual, daylight hours.

⬆️ The top two bigger teeth, are Great White Shark Teeth

I lose track of how many Onslow days I actually get, but the tooth collection is piling up!!

************

Not long into this new month, Daryl and I made another big decision. We decided to stay EVEN longer in NC, by arranging a one year lease with the campground we are currently in. It’s looking like a spot will come available for April, but it’s a popular campground, so we understand. At a later date, in August, (hopefully) we will change sites again, to get a more desirable spot in the campground. 

We believe the world is heading for a huge transition, very soon, and since we are quite happy where we are at, in N Carolina, we have decided to lay down some roots, and enjoy our happiness here. We really had no idea we would feel as we do, when we planned for a respite, here in NC, but apparently we are in need of some big, respite time. What we really want to do is get back overseas to finish traveling, like we were doing, before Daryls mom passed away, suddenly, and we had to come back to the USA, a year earlier than planned.

We are both thrilled to be so close to our family, in the meantime, and we are all loving it, immensely! We just can’t imagine leaving at this time, other than short trips. Who knows, maybe we will make it permanent and purchase property and build, here. Whatever our future holds, we feel no pressure and for now, are just enjoying the day in, and day out of life.

In spite of the big storms this winter, so far, and some cold snaps, we love that the majority of the time is still so sunny! It will be humid this summer, but I’ve lived in Texas, and it won’t be THAT humid!

California

We still own our home in California, and lease it out, as well as a studio lease, too. We’ve  recently been getting A LOT of work done on the property, over the last six months, to keep her shiny and beautiful.

We had long-term tenants of six years in the house, so when inflation pushed their little family out of California, we did all the maintenance repairs and painting, before new tenants moved in, and continued doing so, after they moved in.

She got painted inside and outside, plus the tile roofing got power-washed and painted! She got new wood fencing replaced, and the metal fencing gate got  repainted, as well. The patio gazebo also got repainted. We have a beautiful, old, Bougainville plant that trailed around and over the front patio and gazebo. Also, grape vines. All had to be cut back, in order to do the repairs and painting. We def put that off as long as we could!  California has the best weather out of all of the states, so I know it will all grow back, but it looks really bare, in the meantime. The raccoons who feed on the grapes at night, will be shocked in the summer, when there will be no grapes this year.

The picture above is not at our house, it’s actually in Hong Kong; but just showing the same kind of plant I mentioned. It’s the same color, too. I love Bougainville! With our continuous travel, I no longer have all photos I want at my fingertips, (like a million pictures) and this would include photos of our house, before recent upgrades.

Daryl built all of this fencing, and put in pavers for the patios and walkways, and a raised garden area, over 30 years ago; after he bought this home. Still looking great!!

Daryl found a repair guy who is in California, from Ukraine. He is a very hard worker and does great work, at a fair price! We are grateful to have been presented this Angel, while we are so far away.

⬆️ I like to refer to California as “the sea of red tile roofing.” In this picture, you can see our brightly cleaned and painted tiles, vs another in the background. Since our guy did this work, our neighbors hired him to do the same for their tile roof, as well as paint the outside of their home.

Ladies Spa Night 

Kaylee invited me over to her house, in nearby Emerald Isle, for a “girls only” spa night and I spent the night. We had a blast. My bad back got pampered with bath soaks and a steam room, from all the shark teeth hunting. We also played a game I just love; called “Cards and Marbles,” which friends of Daryls and mine; Nancy and Mike taught us, while visiting with them in Colorado, years ago.

Kaylee is a wonderful host and an excellent cook! We sure had fun!

⬆️ Oh yes, Shrimp n Grits

Daryl and I share one car, between us, now; our Jonah, and it is working out just fine. He dropped me off at Kaylee’s and picked me up the next day,

We have spent several Sundays, all together with Kaylee and her husband, Tom. Tom is also a great cook, and we have had the pleasure of enjoying smoked ham for dinners, from Tom’s hunting trips.

We also, all played “Cards and Marbles,” as teams. Cards and Marbles is the original name of this game, from 30 some years ago, and we all enjoyed lots of fun competition and laughter.

I meant to take a picture of all four of us, but forgot to…oh well, next time!

Yes, that is a card shuffler. Have you ever tried shuffling four decks of playing cards? Ha! 

*************

Chels and I hit Onslow, many times again, and these times, all during daylight hours. Sometimes it’s windy and we got cold hands, and other times it is so warm with sunshine, we are peeling off layers. For whatever reason, on one fine day, I found so many shark teeth. The waves were not very furious, but the teeth were literally all up and down the beach; everywhere I looked. I ended up with quite the haul!

⬆️ Look at the “Shell Fish” Chelsie found…. We still are cracking up over that one! 🤣🤣🤣

One time, Chels drove me and dropped me at Onslow, while it was storming. Daryl was home, staying dry, but worried a little about me out there, by myself. I didn’t hear his text come through, but saw this random text, later….🤣

Mentioning funny comments, a friend of mine from Oregon made this comment after seeing photos of just Chels and I, being on the beach so much. We all got a big chuckle from this ⬇️ 

Back at Onlsow 

The next day, with sunny skies, Chelsie and I returned to hunt for teeth again, together, but what met us on the beach REALLY surprised us. The 2-day storm wasn’t particularly hard; just wind and rain, but from just one week before, when I found so many teeth, everywhere, the night high tides brought in at least one half foot of new sand! It’s hard to tell from the picture, but the added sand created a slope, walking from tide line to the dunes, where it used to be flat. We have never seen this phenomenon before…I’ve only visited for short periods, over 14 years, but Chels has lived here. What this means is, there are probably a lot of shells and teeth that came in with the sand, so as time goes on, and natural erosion occurred, lots of treasures will be exposed, as the tides take the sand back out.

Something else this extra sand means is; low tide hunting is not as important as it used to be, since the shell beds and rock beds all shifted higher. The low tide does expose more beds, but not as big and plentiful ones.

⬆️ Amongst other amazing teeth  finds, I found a unique tooth. Not a Megalodon, nor a Great White. It’s a bottom tooth from an extinct version of the modern-day Mako Shark; Usurus Retroflexus, Short-Fin Mako

Chelsie found one of her best finds to date, for her. What a beautiful Megalodon! ⬇️

⬆️ My haul from two full days hunting, in a row! 

⬆️ Dolphins are often seen in the surf, from the beach on Onslow, when training is not going on, using heavy artillery. I always watch for them. Dolphins are so happy to play in water.

I’m telling you what… I’m loving the amazing Stem Cell Therapy Patches. We are about three weeks in, on using them, at this point in my blog post. There was no way I could have been putting in 6-8 hours on the beach; two days in-a-row, without the help of the patches. I was born with a curvature in my spine, and then in my mid forties, I broke my back, neck and tailbone in a horrific accident. It used to be, one day out there would put me out of commission and needing recover time for several days. (No, I do not rely on pain pills) With the patches, my recovery time is now; one evening on the heating pad and a good nights sleep! I’m loving this so much! It’s like new life has been breathed into me! I can’t say enough good things about the patches!

************

We Have a TEENAGER in the House! ❤️

Happy 13th Birthday to McKenzie; our first grandchild, and the most beautiful person; inside and out! … so funny and cute. Kenzie is also a very loving and patient big sister, to her two little brothers, who love her very much!

We are blessed to be her MeMa and Grandpapa!!

I took the teenager out for a shopping day, and we had a very fun and exciting time!

************

⬆️ The Time Has Come!!

I’ve spent the better part of three years, growing out my hair, from my overseas cut (super short). It’s been pretty awful, with no help from a terrible stylists in Colorado, who fried my hair the first year, when I just wanted a light, wavy perm. I had to get all the growth cut off. For the second and third year, the grow-out continued to be the bane of my very existence!  🤣

I met a new friend in the campground, and she recently got her hair, newly cut, in a cute style; from long to short. That did it! I called up her stylist and got an appointment. I had to wait four WHOLE days to get in!!! 🤣

Daryl is almost as happy as me. He always loved my pixie cut I had, when we first met.

************

Decor From the Sea

What to do with the collection of treasures from the ocean? Well, I already have so much, found in years past, from beach combing; including in Okinawa. They are in glass vases and stored away in boxes, back home in California.

Currently, I have very limited space, living in The Whale. For now, I’m enjoying some creative arrangements, to display what I have collected, so far. We don’t watch TV, so it’s a good place for now. 

Chelsie found the complete blonde-colored Channel Shell in the middle, and gave it to me! She knew I was looking for one.

I have found whole teeth. I have found broken teeth; mostly of the shark variety’s; extinct and otherwise. I have a variety of shells, small rocks, fossils of bones, and (dried and no longer stinky) fauna, found, so far.

Some fauna continues to stink, even though I’ve had them outside for weeks, but I know they will get there! I’m very excited to fill my new glass vases with my finds, but the stinky fauna is holding up the whole creative process. Oh well, I’ve got time. I just have to be patient.

In the meantime I organize my tooth finds, by category: Favorite Shark Teeth, Whole Shark Teeth, Broken Shark Teeth, Tiny Shark Teeth, other Marine Life Teeth; mouth plates, plus fossil finds; and/or bones. My grandsons  collected sand for me from the beach, and I got these really cool, tiny, battery powered LED lights on a long wire, to add to my tall vases, to incorporate them amongst the shells, rocks and Shark Tooth finds, when I get it all put together!

***********

Kaylee and I get to spend more time together, again. We walked on the beach on Emerald Isle. The city has had a big dredging project going on for a while now, to deepen the waters at the point. This beach is not known for shark teeth, but Kaylee found a few tiny ones. The picture with the smoke in the background shows how close the Onslow beach area is; and showing a few controlled burns on the Marine Corps Base.

It was a beautiful day!

***********

SPORTS!

Springtime is right around the corner, so the two grandsons are starting soccer. Luke, at 10 has been playing soccer for a while now. He is all about it. Rylan, at 7 has been watching his siblings for years and is SO EXITED to finally be old enough to play sports, too! Both the boys got soccer cleats, recently. New to Rylan was needing to practice tying laces. In comes Grandpapa to help. Rylan tells everybody he knows a better way to tie his shoes, now. 

McKenzie spent two days, trying out for volleyball. She is in middle school and there is only one varsity team. She has never played VB before. There were 59 girls who tried-out and only 15 made the team. 12 girls will play the games and two girls will be “managers,” which means they practice all together, and gain experience. Kenz made a manager spot and we are all super proud of her! Of course Kenz is a bit disappointed she won’t get to play in every game, but her position on the team will be a great stepping-stone for tryouts in her 8th grade year, and on in to high school! She will soon realize this, and be as excited as the rest of us!

We look forward to watching all our grandchildren play in their sports. They come from a long line of family with athletic abilities, so no surprise they have the interest.

*************

Happy Valentines Day!!

Daryl picked up a special “dinner” for us at Lowe’s Market. It was the perfect “kit” of Steak, Lobster tail, Twice Baked Potatoes and pre-made Brownies. We added our own salad, and thoroughly enjoyed it and Daryl cooked everything, just right!

Yes, we got out the best china!

***************

SEAFOOD FETTUCCINE and Ice Cream

Not long after we arrived in NC, I promised Luke I would make him Seafood Fettuccine, which is his mother’s favorite dish. Luke loves seafood like his mom and his MeMa, and we were very excited to see his big smile. I made homemade pasta, and only the best ingredients from our Mexico trip: Shrimp, Scallops, and Crab.

⬆️ I got a Pasta Making Machine for my birthday. I’ve had a few over the years, but this Philips is a cut above the rest. It’s a good one!

There is nothing like homemade! I like to make my pasta with eggs, water and flour.

We feasted till our bellies were so full! Joey was even able to stop by on his work day.

⬆️ Here is a picture of Joey; to show “proof of life!” 🤣🤣🤣

We also surprised the grands by making homemade ice cream! I always make the ice cream mix, way in advance, to get it very cold, so it’s sets up the best in the Machine. I take the extra time to make Old Fashioned Vanilla Ice Cream with eggs and milk cooked on the stove, first. So creamy and yummy!

We got the ice cream maker for spring break with the kiddos, to take with us, to a beach house we are renting, but we didn’t want to wait till March to try it out!

We know it will get plenty of use, being around “young uns” and all, but who am I kidding? Grownups love homemade ice cream, too!

I can still remember my grandpa making homemade ice cream. Back then, it was a hand crank, and we all got a turn. I also remember us being too little to keep the crank moving. So I’m all about the electric option, and the kiddos can help with the ice and rock salt. It’s all about making memories! Chelsie told me she remembers us making ice cream when we lived on the farm in Oregon. Of courses I had fresh cream back then, from milking my own cow.

⬆️ Chelsie made a delicious chocolate cake to add to the party!

“Non Terra Sed Aquis” ~Not by Land, but by Sea

Our friends Kaylee and Tom took off on an adventure in their yacht; “Amazing Grace,” today. The plan is, Kaylee will be at anchor for the next eight months, up in Beaufort, NC, while Tom still works on base. He will have a very long commute, much of the time, but it’s a boating life they love, and they are getting closer to their dream of living full-time on the water, after Tom retires, so it’s all good. We wish them both the very best.

Kaylee will be too far away to hunt Shark Teeth together, at Onslow. I will miss her, but Daryl and I will make the drive, every now and again to visit Tom and Kaylee, when we can, in Beaufort. We will also stay on Amazing Grace, for them, whenever Kaylee needs to get back home for a bit. Mostly though, we will miss our friends a lot. We’ve had a good time, all together, over the last few months, but nobody understands big dreams, like us, and we couldn’t be happier for this couple, as we are living proof that dreams really do come true, with a lot of hard work, determination, and grit! 

No sooner had I written this part of the blog, about our friends leaving out on an adventure, when hearing from Kaylee, things did not go, according to plan. Mostly, they were having anchor issues and must work on a new plan for that, before they will try again. Also, Kaylee had shoulder surgery and is only one month; post-op and still in too much pain to do what is needed to be done on board.

Kaylee’s words from their FB page:

⬆️ Picture taken by Kaylee, of the Sneads Ferry bridge

They had a terrible night with the anchor issue and all. A lot of prep went into that departure! We wished we could do more, but we invited them for dinner, at The Whale, after they secured Amazing Grace at the Marina, back on base. They had empty bellies, after an all day and night ordeal on the water for them, in very cold conditions.

After dinner, Daryl and Tom took off to Beaufort to pick up his truck and the dingy, which they got down there, prior, in anticipation of arriving in Beaufort with their boat.

⬆️ Tom cracked us up when he got into the Bug and said something along the lines of; “Don’t I need a joint to ride in this?” 🤣🤣🤣

After the guys left, I drove Kaylee to their house on Emerald Island, where we chatted it up, till the guys arrived. We didn’t stay too long, because Tom and Kaylee were really knackered, and needed a good night sleep!!!

⬇️ Kaylee posted this on their FB page: 

After Tom and Daryl left in Jonah, and right about the time we were getting into Kaylees car to get her home, Chelsie called me for the boys. They had something very exciting to share with MeMa, so we FaceTimed!

OMG, Chels took Luke and Rylan to Onslow for their very first, serious shark teeth hunting outing and they both scored! They were so excited and I’m pretty sure they are hooked, now!

I’m super proud to be part of the influence for the boys to get out there to find teeth, just like their Mama and MeMa do!

It was just a matter of time. ❤️

All three kiddos, now have these cool glass jars from MeMa and Grandpapa, to display their shark teeth in.

Not long after Chels took just the boys to the beach, Chels and I spent another fun day at Onslow; on Presidents Day. After about three hours on the beach, we drove back to their house and picked up all three kids and returned to Onslow, for an agreed upon “hour.” They love the beach, but don’t like spending six hours there, like their mom and MeMa do. 🤣🤣🤣 This was McKenzies’ first, serious shark tooth hunting time. She did so good, too!!  

On another day, yet, Rylan wanted to go back to Onslow for more shark teeth hunting with us. He understood we would be there for more than an hour, and he was still into it. What a trooper. He did so good and found some great teeth, again!

*************

Some good news. We think we have found a mechanic that can keep our Jonah maintained.

Since we are staying in the area, we definitely need somebody who knows what they are doing, on the regular. Jonah is 52 years old  now, and though restored, as long as we keep her oil changed and valves adjusted, she will keep running like a top! 

Funny Story:  We picked McKenzie up after the bus dropped her off, one day. Just as we were pulling up to her, the horn on the Bug started going off, and we couldn’t make it stop!! At first, Kenz, who was walking with a neighbor gal, thought we were letting her know it was us, but she thought; how strange, because the Bug itself is so obvious… then she got in and we continued driving. She was so embarrassed, she laid down in the back seat so nobody would see her, while the horn was going off on its own, for about a mile. People were waving at us…..It was so funny. Daryl kept pushing on the steering wheel area, trying to get it to stop. We pulled up in front of Kenzie’s house and it suddenly did stop. The horn still works, but hasn’t gone off on its own like that again, so far. 🤞

Something I did notice, before the horn went rogue, is; driving along I heard a faint ticking noice in the steering…like a tiny pebble was rolling around, inside. I thought it was the keys lightly tapping the steering column, but figured out that wasn’t it. Clearly something was loose around the horn depression area and it got stuck “exactly right.” So far, I no longer hear anything rolling around. SO WEIRD. 

**************

I can’t believe how fast this month is going by. We stay plenty busy, so that’s why.

***********

Lukes First Soccer Game 

The Saturday game got canceled, due to the field being too wet, from recent rains. The next day, on Sunday, their game got played and of course Grandpapa and I wouldn’t miss it! 

The entire family, plus friends showed up. I love how the siblings support each other, giving big hugs to each other, after the games are over. ❤️

Ryland first game isn’t until March. They are a super young group of kids and are learning how soccer is played, yet.

McKenzie’s First and Second Volleyball Game  

When Kenz had her first volleyball game, we of course drove to watch. As a manager, she was positioned at the corner line with a flag; to help monitor out of bound balls. She also helped retrieve the balls for the other team, during warm up. Super proud of our 7th grader! ❤️

**********

Some more Shark Tooth hunting days! Rain or shine, it makes no difference to me. It’s all good!

I did look into what is required, to arrange a stay at the RV Park on Onslow Beach. This is not a public RV Park, and Joey would need to be part of the process, as he is the retired military personnel that would get us the access, but it’s a process involving qualifying for passes, to get us on and off the base on our own, so we will definitely do this option for a month, sometime, after summer, when all the kiddos are back in school, and the weather changes back to winter, where storms replenish the treasures on the beach, again.

Yes to Stem Cell Therapy!

Daryl and I are now into our second month of Stem Cell Therapy. What an amazing technology! I know several people who are also using the patches and everybody has testimonies….. Just know. It doesn’t matter what you have put into your body, or what injury or illness you have, your own stems cells wake up and go to work for you, to heal.

Have you ever noticed how long it takes an elder to heal from a broken arm (for example) it’s because the older we get, the fewer active stem cells we have, to help us heal.

People are talking about their hair growing back in bald spots and their hair turning from grey, back to their youthful color, again. Fingernails, becoming way stronger. Cataracts and glaucoma are going away. Glasses no longer being needed! The list of improvements are a mile long.

Each patch is good for 16 hours of activation, but we only use them for 12 hours at a time, as the body needs a full 12 hours, off the patch to rest. I’ve read where people are putting the patch from them, right on to the children and/or pets, for the remainder of the activation time (or you can put them away in a cool place and use, later, since heat from the body is what activates the crystals).

Anyway, I have a friend who told me they had to back off from sharing their patches with their elder dogs, because now their senior dogs are acting like puppies again, and they can’t keep up with them!!

We can’t see what is healing inside our bodies, but once in a while, and certainly after months of using the patches, the results start showing, in visual ways, on the outside, as well as feeling some healing going on.

One of my most unusual testimony came by way of quite an alarming bruise that appeared on the back of my hand. Kaylee was the one who noticed it and was like; “what the heck, Pen?”When I looked at it, I knew it wasn’t there the day before. I also did not bang or bump my hand. Nothing like that, and I do not bruise easily, either. Yes, it was tender to the touch.

In a few days time, the bruise was gone. It did not fade away slowly, as much as it just disappeared, quickly; the same as it had appeared, just as suddenly. I thought of the patches and their healing powers, then recalled a situation many years ago, where I was given an IV, before surgery, by an inept nurse. It did not go well, and the alarm was raised, where competent nurses stepped in, to get me fixed up. The inept nurse inserted the needle into the vein on the back of my hand, but instead of stopping when the needle was in, she continued shoving the plastic, at the end of the needle into my vein. Holy Krimany did that hurt, and I screamed for her to get away from me. (I’ve had 33 surgeries, so I know how IV needles work).

Soon, I was bleeding all under my skin, and on top of my skin. My whole hand started swelling. I almost didn’t get my surgery! Fortunately, I have two hands, so once they deemed my injured hand okay for the time being, I got my surgery, and another IV attempt set up in my right hand….. anyway, my hand was so sore for over a month after that injury.  I had a lot of tissue and nerve damage in my hand, after that debacle. My vein could not be used after, for any procedures, due to scar tissue. WELL, guess what? The patches fixed what was damaged under the skin there, in two days time; bruising again and all!

Another thing that took a few days to fix, was my left knee, where I’ve had a few surgeries. Randomly, my knee started hurting, more than usual, and within two days, it felt better than ever! Again, the patches are waking up/activating my very own stem cells, which with age, had gone dormant. It’s amazing!!!! 

My biggest change has been with my back. Between being born with a curvature spine, plus the traumatic accident that broke my back, neck and tailbone, I’ve had bone on bone activity with my vertebras, causing nerve pain in my lower back, for many years.

As I’ve gotten older, this has not improved, and no, I do not rely on pain meds. I’ve toughed it out for YEARS! Just walking gives me terrible pain, now, let alone spending all day beach combing on uneven beach sand.

Two years ago, on the same beach, I could bend over to pick up the teeth I found, but not anymore. I use a scooper. My granddaughter can not believe how tough I am to keep going back to the beach; over and over again. Like I tell her. I choose to keep moving and doing what I love. Laying around, feeling sorry for myself is not an option. She has been just the sweetest. She insists on helping me from the car, getting over to the water faucet and hose, to wash off my waders for me. Then she helps me peel off; said waders, and socks, because I’m unable to bend, at that point. With this visit, the grand kiddos are watching me walking; bent over, crooked, and in pain, due to my extra activities on the beach. They are old enough now, they are completely aware. When they were younger, the same situation occurred, but they didn’t remember, nor understand. Now they jump in and help!  

One time when we were all on the beach, Rylan told me he would pick up any teeth I find, for me, so I didn’t have to bend to get them.

I love them all so much. They have such sweet hearts! ❤️ 

So, into month two on the patches, my back pain has greatly improved, from needing days to recover, to just needing an overnight, and I’ve done several two-days-in-a-rows at the beach, now. I’m also experiencing less pain at the time I’m doing long days at the beach. It’s so wonderful!!!!

The Patch packaging is easy and simple. Inside the shipping package, is a blue envelope. Inside the blue envelope is what is called a “sleeve.” Each sleeve holds 30 patches. Each patch is a little bigger than a quarter.

These patches we wear are awesome. While we can not see the healing going on, inside our bodies, which can take time, I’ve been fortunate enough to notice many changes, already, on the outside!

Guidelines instruct to use the patches for one month, per every ten years of your life, to keep unseen healing going on, but rarely does a person have to wait for results that long.

For example, if you are in or near your 70’s, that would be seven months. Daryl is in this category. I’m in my 60’s, so six months… etc. Chelsie is 40, so four months.
Like I’ve said, three months seems to be average for most people who use the patches to see and feel results, based on so many testimonies I’ve read, for full on healing that shows on the outside: Lots of people getting off RX drugs. Hearing coming back, eyesight improving, surgeries cancelled.…. The list goes on and on.

I broke my neck where my arms are attached, and after 2.5 weeks of the patches, I started getting a weird electricity feeling going through my forearms. I have a lot of nerve damage in my arms, since the accident, causing numbness in my fingers, and can’t grip very tight. Well, guess what? My nerves are regenerating and healing! I have a stronger grip, again!

I also cut my finger REALLY bad a few weeks ago….bleeding all over, couldn’t stop it for an hour, kinda thing. Large flap of skin, hanging…within two days, it stopped hurting, and that flap of skin REATTACHED itself. (I’ve always had to cut this flaps off in past bad accidental cuts, ‘cause they keep catching on everything and causing pain). I literally watched the excelled healing, right before my eyes! Freaky and exciting at the sane time. 1.5 weeks after the cut, and I can’t even see a scar!! This type of cut is usually a three week ordeal to heal, at best, AND leaving a chunk off the side of the finger, kinda damage.

Three days after this cut, while on the X39 patches, I was washing my own hair….no issues! 

I think my floaters have cleared, too. I have an eye disease with scarring, that sees like very bad floaters, so not sure which is clearing, but something is going on, there. I feel a vibration going on in my eyes. Very subtle, and not bothersome of painful, just a sensation.

Speaking of scars. I had a minor surgery on my chest, some years ago, to remove a benign cyst. It left a terrible scar. Guess what? Two weeks in, on the patches, and this scar is flattening out and slowly disappearing!

Okay, one more testimony on patches.

We went to another Volleyball game at Kenzies school. It was five games, instead of three games, like on the last game day.  I did not come prepared to sit on wood bleachers without my butt pillow for 1.5 hours. After I broke my tailbone, instead of healing back into a a soft “C” angle, my bone healed in an “L” shape, so the tip jabbed nerve ending, whenever I sat down; and especially on hard surfaces. For the first time, in 19 years, I sat on hard wood, for over 1.5 hours, and had zero pain!!!!  My tailbone appears to have healed! I almost cried with excitement!

Sleep is also AMAZING, and I also have an increased; overall, feeling, of well-being. 

 I know a few people who have also started the X39 patches. Everyone feels happy and quite energetic, with various results. Subtle at first, but the more time on the patches, the more healing occurs. There is no age requirement and pets are benefiting, too! 

X39 Patches activate for 16 hours, but only 12 hours is the maximum usage at one time. Then one removes the patch for 12 hours. Then a new patch is applied; so on and so on.

Many users are putting their used patches on their children, partner, and/or pets, for the remaining four hours.

Don’t hesitate to get started. Daryl and I ordered a six-month supply to start. We just don’t want to deal with shipping each month; that’s just us, but you can order monthly, if you want. They cost about $100 a month. There are also different patches to choose from. Get your membership and order the patches. This Stem Cell Therapy is next level healing and has only been available to the masses, at the end of last year.

⬆️ Patched Up!

In the picture, I am wearing a patch, which improves eye and brain health. I have cataracts and an eye dis-ease. I also suffer from a brain injury (19 years now and I’m ready for healing). Some patches are worn at night, others during the day. It’s all very easy.

 These patches are not transdermal. This is not an RX or any of the kind. This Stem Cell Activation Patch is made out of ORGANIC Amino Acid crystals that when applied to your skin in activated by it’s heat which is a form of infrared light. This reflects back a light wave the elevates GHK-Cu Copper Peptide which is proven to ACTIVATE you stem cells, PRODUCE more stem cells, and RESET you stem cells to a younger healthier state, much like the sun activates Vitamin D in your body.

Do you Love American Bald Eagles, like I do?

I “follow” a nesting pair of Eagles out of Big Bear, California: “Jackie” and “Shadow.”

They are currently proud parents of three eggs. 

The chicks are very close to hatching!
