Eating healthy Non-GMO food is not just a privilege reserved for the rich. With a little work and planning we can all benefit from a GMO free diet.

To all of you who don't think you can make any money in Network marketing. Well here's my answer. Jenya is my friend. I know her and her story is true. You can if you are willing to do the work. It's just like anything else. If you have the good grace to do it as a service to those in your life who would benefit from a shot at being financially free, and who are willing to do the work, of sharing it with others, then like Jenya, you too can be financially free. Essante has everything you need in the way of support to give you the chance to be do and have whatever you desire. It's up to you if you want to take advantage of it. Private message me if you'd like to learn more about how it could work for you.

My work with care has spanned half a century. Care is essential to life on the planet. If we can begin to appreciate and be inspired by how care works in support of life, then perhaps we will listen to the wisdom of those who care for us and learn how to care for Our Mother, Earth.

Self-Care is the heart of community. Community Health begins with self-care and when this is absent, then family care, and when family care is unavailable or inadequate community care, when community care is unavailable or inadequate then public health care. That is the way it has been in most communities. Only in America is Health Care marketed as the first course of action. And the rest are not even considered worthy. The Holistic Health and Green movements are returning us to right order of things. Be an ambassador for good.

Low energy attracts low energy. Low energy thoughts, such as anger, hate, shame, guilt, and fear, weaken you. And they attract more of the same. By changing your inner thoughts to the higher frequencies of love, harmony, kindness, peace, and joy, you’ll attract more of the same, and you’ll have those higher energies to give away.

Here are a few shoulds and should nots. This is on my mind because all of them happened today.

First, we get a text message. "Your dad (whose 91 is no longer talking. He had company yesterday and he didn't even talk to them".

Friends, if you have that kind of information for someone, pick up the phone. It is really disconcerting to be in the grocery store and learn that your father may be having a stroke.

Second, when you call your sister to find out what is wrong. "Please sis, don't say well your dad is dying. We're just making him comfortable. " If you think someone is dying. It is wise to have a health professional evaluate him even if it is just to make him comfortable."

So, the end of the story is that when we called and put dad on speaker phone. I could hear him gasping for breath and gurgling. He said his chest hurt a little. "From 1,000 miles away. I could tell his lungs were full of fluid. I told them to call 911 and get him evaluated. He had pneumonia.

He had said on the phone that he wanted to be here for his birthday. So I knew he hadn't decided it was his time.

"Pneumonia when untreated can feel like drowning. There are more comfortable ways to die even if you have advanced directives and do not want extraordinary measures".

Whether you have a wholistic or an allopathic practitioner. Please please please consult with them before you decide that you are just going to let your loved one die and keep him comfortable. Drowning is not a comfortable way to die.

Dad is now in the hospital on antibiotics for his pneumonia, breathing treatments, and oxygen. He is feeling much better.

It is time that we all became a little more self reliant? I think so. When we look at the fact that the mainstream idea of food production is becoming more and more out of touch with nature, it becomes clear that we need to begin thinking about growing our own food. While we can […]
