Often in life, we tend to see things as one thing or one way. We have been raised a certain way, taught things that were our parents(or others) way of thinking, given the ways that "life is". "Thats just the way it is" they say! What do you see here...a young lady or old? Things are rarely what they might appear at first glance! (someone will see the old lady and give you a clue!) Is is really exactly the way "they" say it is? I am talking about LOVE here, more specifically..(yes we are on that subject again). HOW is love, really? Is LOVE just one thing or is it everything? Is it smooching and hugging or is it in those who might speak unkindly to us? Is it in certain places or is it everywhere? Is it in only the good stuff or in the rough stuff too? Is it only in color or is it truly black and white..either it is LOVE or it is not!? For many, this has been a prison of limited thinking and has kept them small, in a tight box, cramped and not op...

What you got in that bag?  Did you know that just looking in your bag, your pantry, your closet, under your sink, that I can tell you how big your body burden is? Yes. By the products you put on your skin, eat, use on your clothes, and your cleaning products alone, I can see a large part of your body burden (how toxic it is).

AROUND THE WORLD Wow it has been a long time since I posted here. Life seems to take us all the way around the world and back again! No, I didn't go around the world but almost. Not physically so much as mentally and emotionally, growing and changing. Aren't we all forced to every single day? WOWeeee In the world of health and food, this changes daily too and it is no wonder people wonder what to eat! One day it is good and the next day not. Let's just eat BERRIES!! Haha! Right? Keeping it simple really does make life easier. Choosing simple but healthy and very tasty options keeps us on the right track while loving our food. Our body loves it too. We all know by now that simple green smoothies are the way to a healthy body! Imagine making sure you have greens, fruits and maybe some special additions you like, in your fridge all the time. If you were to have smoothies every day, varying the greens, your health would improve so much! That is your ditty for t...
