For those who think there’s no purpose to the wasp…think again

𝟭𝟬𝟬% 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗽𝘀!
Wasps are a really important part of the ecosystem – they're a top predator.
Take a top predator out of any system – like the lion out of Serengeti – it has knock-on effects in the prey populations that will then go unchecked by their predator.
And wasps are free, natural insect population controllers – so they are doing jobs in our gardens, in our wild landscapes, in our farming landscapes. They are helping keep insects like aphids, caterpillars and flies at bay.

I blessed it. And let it go. Enjoyed the sundae and bought an ice cream machine to make my own.

No, it’s not the sugar that’s the danger here. It’s the actual s**t show of chemicals that processed foods are now made with.

Natural flavour for example. If it’s vanilla flavoured, why doesn’t the label read ‘vanilla’? Because it’s flavoured with a chemical compound mix of around 200 to produce vanillin.

But the compounds were originally of a ‘natural source’.

So what? Well how about strawberry? The natural flavour did come from beaver butt secretions, but that’s considered too expensive by many companies.

I’m going back to basics. How about you?

Big love 💕

And so it is…

We have to get to know our farmers directly.

Never heard of this before, but it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling…

New research says that when you plant a tree and water it that you become the trees caregiver and when you come into a 2km radius from the tree it sends out different types of frequencies supposedly to get your attention to come and see to it.

What's really weird about hearing this is I always get these thoughts that pop into my head saying I must go and water this tree or that tree.

I never forget about my trees that's just been recently planted in the past couple of years or so to go and see to them.

Could the tree be sending me signals?
Who knows!!!

Peace and love

Synergy…so much more that the scientific analysis…

Synergy

I've been grappling for many days to find the best way to speak my mind about your desire to analyze herbs for specific nutrients. It seems so straight forward and simple. You want to help people believe in herbs by offering hard scientific facts.

But I don't believe that scientific analysis will be able to show us how nourishing herbal infusions nourish and create abundant health. I did, for a while, decades ago. Now I know better. Now I know deeper, more thoroughly, how nutrients move from one form to another — in this case, from plants to humans. Now I can tell you — in one word — why I don't believe analysis is helpful: Synergy.

We can measure calcium, but calcium isn't one thing. It occurs in many forms. And these forms are additive: the more forms of calcium we consume, the greater the absorption and utilization. Supplements are notoriously poorly utilized because they are usually only one form.

A nutrient chemist once said I was wrong to say the nutrients in nettle should be considered as ten times greater than their measured amounts. "It's more like 100 times greater, due to synergy."

The synergist effects of multiple forms of one mineral, added to multiple forms of another mineral which is synergistic with the first mineral, plus polyphenols, catechins, tannins, vitamins . . .

Healthy organisms are subtle, complex, and in synergistic relationships. Optimum nourishment is subtle, complex, and synergistic.

It's the forest, not the trees. We can count trees. We can't count the millions of interactions that make up a healthy forest. Synergy.

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Synergy.
You can't tell time by taking the watch apart. Synergy.
It's the journey, not the goal. Synergy.

Earthbeat heartbeat.
Breathe out gratitude. Inhale joy.
Beauty without.
Beauty within.
Loving green blessings.

Time to give up the cereals?

And this is why I don’t do these drinks…

This is the kind of menu item that would fool me back in the day…

I’d think “Ooo…Matcha! That’s healthy right?”

Meanwhile I’d be sabotaging myself with boatloads of refined sugar and processed chemicals linked to cancer.
