YHS changing lives - thank you Angela for sharing!

A sweet letter from a co-op member

Dear Monica and fellow YHS workers,
I just want to thank you so much for the vision that you had to create Your Health Source. I truly thank God for you weekly, if not even daily!!
I cannot tell you how you have changed my and my family's lives!! First off, my kids are all SO excited on Tuesdays - to see what we get in our box!!! My oldest daughter eats anything out of it. I had never bought some of the things and didn't even know what others were!! BUT we just googled for a recipe and away we cooked. Nobody (I couldn't get enough of them!!) cared for the beets but that is okay - maybe next fall they will. :)
My son is a MUCH pickier child but can name everything in our bins. I told him he will have to start tasting everything this summer. (He had SEVERE reflux that we have all but cleared up and could vomit on command. Now that is managed so much better - basically from us switching to a completely whole foods/no chemical household.) I did have him try cooked carrots the other night and he actually said - mmmm!
Our third child is in the middle - will take a bite of anything but not always eat an entire serving. But she is the sugar tooth and can sniff out candy ANYWHERE. :) She has had severe constipation since birth - even being breastfed her first 15 months of life. Since our diet change and having a variety of fruits around, she is completely healed AND sleeping through the night!! She hadn't done that in her entire FOUR years of life!!
So we are now eating things, I never would have picked up in the grocery store!! Along with the grocery store, I hardly go anymore!!!! The produce bin along with the dry good you offer makes up a large part of foods. Then my host offers milk, eggs, beef and chicken. I have started grinding and making our own bread and yogurt!! Not much else do we need to get!! :) Oh, how I love to cook with your products and KNOW that I am giving my family the absolute best!
My husband has been having serious GI issues (gall bladder removed, appendicitis, stomach ulcers) and I believe part of it is due to him traveling a ton (he is in the military) and eating out all the time. But I want to give him power packed meals when he eats at home. :)
I feel like I am fulfilling a lot of my God given roles through your program!! And then teaching my children and my girl friends about it too!!
We just moved here late last summer and you are by far the reason I love living here. I will hate leaving this program on our next move!!!! We are so blessed by ALL you do!!
Thank you, thank you again!!
