Summer is finally Here ....

I love Spring but this year spring was super hot followed by cold... then rainy and cold.
So now that Summer is here it seem like many of us need to play catch up  with everything especially with our gardens, ( even my blogging)
I made a little  formula ....I call "Exhaustion Blend" .....
When you feel you need a little pickup try this combination
frankincense oil
lemon oil
bergamot oil
and cardamom
with a little coconut or olive oil
take a break and massage the blend on the back of your neck and shoulders
even better have someone rub it on your neck and shoulders !

GMO's HEALTH RISK...



 NO TO GMO FOODS ........



This article discusses the potential health risks of genetically engineered foods (GMOs). It draws on some previously used material because its importance bears repeating. It also cites three notable books and highlights one in particular – Jeffrey Smith’s “Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods.” Detailed information from the book is featured below.
Genetically engineered foods saturate our diet today. In the US alone, over 80% of all processed foods contain them. Others include grains like rice, corn and wheat; legumes like soybeans and soy products; vegetable oils, soft drinks; salad dressings; vegetables and fruits; dairy products including eggs; meat, chicken, pork and other animal products; and even infant formula plus a vast array of hidden additives and ingredients in processed foods (like in tomato sauce, ice cream, margarine and peanut butter). Consumers don’t know what they’re eating because labeling is prohibited, yet the danger is clear. Independently conducted studies show the more of these foods we eat, the greater the potential harm to our health.

One genetician from Burkina Faso has accused Monsanto of "criminal" acts.

Burkina Faso, Africa’s top cotton producer and the only West African nation that has ventured into biotech farming, has decided to ban genetically-modified (GM) cotton produced by Monsanto on quality grounds.

Earlier this month Burkina Faso, the world’s 10th largest cotton producer, announced it was giving up Monsanto’s GM Bt cotton as it had proved uneconomical.

Cardinal John Njue asked Kenyans to reject the vaccine and GMOs and said that certain powers with a hidden agenda were behind the two controversial issues. Njue said protecting people's health should always be a priority and warned people on the next vaccination phase. "We all know the dangers and the damages of both the vaccine and GMOs. Let no one lie to Kenyans. Let us be careful with our own destiny and security of our people," he said. The Catholic head in Kenya maintained that the tetanus vaccine is laced with a substance that lowers women's fertility. Thorough investigations, he said, had proven the vaccine is harmful to women. Interestingly, tests presented by the Government conducted at the Kenya Medical Research Institute, have given the vaccine a clean bill of health.

I need to return to a simple livestyle ....

Less than a hundred years ago, the small farm was the King . And if folks didnt  live on a farm, at least they had chickens in their backyards and grew their own vegetables.( look up Norveft Pa. I lived there at a time in my life)  Name: 
Norvelt
Region: 
Laurel Highlands/Southern Alleghenies
County: 
Westmoreland
Marker Location: 
LR 6406 Mt. Pleasant Road, on V.F.D. property, Norvelt
Dedication Date: 
September 8, 2002
Behind the Marker

Norvelt, Westmoreland County, Pa., circa 1959.
In 1933, as part of the sweeping National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA), Congress allocated $25 million for the creation of "subsistence homesteads" for dislocated industrial workers. Over the course of the program's eleven-year history, the federal government seeded nearly 100 planned, cooperative communities. Norvelt, in southwestern Pennsylvania, was the fourth.

The idea for the program owed much to a "back to the land" movement, popularized by American idealists who promoted small-scale subsistence farming as an antidote to the economic exploitation and alienation of modern life. In the 1920s, the idea gained currency among a wide variety of progressive organizations, including church-related groups such as the markerAmerican Friends Service Committee (AFSC).
But then big business came on the scene, and we all got office jobs. And I went to work, too, because why should men have all the fun?
So I got dressed up , dropped the kids off at the public school and  daycare, spent hours in the car, sat at a desk for even longer hours, took half an hour at noon and raced to a nearby fast food place. worked at night at Restaurants  and thought I was having fun.......
