Kindness and Generosity of Spirit

Kindness is a true virtue that since time immemorial has been a precious priceless gift, yet today in the 21st Century, it's become very rare.  Generosity of Spirit comes from kindness and a caring kind loving Heart is the Source of all this Magickal Beauty.  It's very sad that in this era of strife, struggle, and stress, kindness and generosity of Spirit is very rare and when it's found, it's a precious gift to be cherished and appreciated.  It's very sad that animals treat each other better than humans do.  Humans treat each other worse than wolves.  Kindness is often given primarily to family and people we know and the Christmas Holiday is when kindness is at its peak, though it's very superficial and not genuine.  Humanity has become very mechanized and detached and if a person isn't sipping a cup of coffee, he or she is considered to be an oddball.  It's very sad that in the 21st Century people have become very rigid, cynical, and jaded and mistrust is all too common.  People need a cup of coffee, refined white sugar, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, and their electronic gadgets just to cope, feel good, and be able to cope with and tolerate each other.  I know from personal experience that it's very difficult to know whom to trust, especially when you've been trespassed on and violated and abused, but as much pain and horror as I've suffered, I still manage to have Love in my Heart and Care and want to help others.  

Animals and children are wonderful teachers of kindness and generosity.  When treated well, Loved, and Cared for, they are very loving, gentle, caring, innocent, kind, and very affectionate.  It's not in their Nature to be harsh, cruel, and unkind.  Children learn to be harsh and unkind from their parents and other adults in the world with whom they interact.  Perhaps if we adults would take occasional moments to remember our humble roots and all the natural innocent inherent Beauty and Love we received from our Loving Caring parents and gave to our friends, perhaps we would then smile and stop being so unkind to each other and be like the young children we used to be and Love today.  "Put a little Love in your Heart." Jackie DeShannon

Obscene Man Made Noise Is Harmful To Your Health

Noise, noise, noise, I'm so fed up with man made noise!  It's very aggravating, obnoxious, rude, and insane and it tears my nerves apart.  I suffer PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) because of it and it makes me absolutely miserable.  I'm not talking about the kind of noise Mother Nature creates, such as volcanoes, earthquakes, and thunder.  I'm talking about noise created by man made machines, such as vehicles, especially those with excessive obscene illegally modified exhaust pipes, the size of two large open fists put together!  I'm also talking about those excessive, obscene, obnoxious, overpowering, rude extremely low frequency bass that feel like an audio earthquake plowing tearing down the road and it's far worse than a disco!  I've had to involuntarily have it shoved down my throat for 10 years and I'm sick and tired of it!  This is why it's called secondhand noise.  It's gotten to the point where I can't tell the difference between a propane truck going down the road, farm equipment maintaining the road, and the unnecessary excessive loud thud vibration vehicle, the kind of overpowering stereo in which the operator can't even contain it within their vehicle and it vibrates their vehicle and everything within 50 feet of them, and it terrorizes sufferers like me who suffer from severely frayed nerves!  

I'm not sure where to move to in order to have peace and quiet and peace of mind and sanity, but I'm starting to wonder if I need to move to the Continental Divide to have it, but then I wonder if that will be good enough and far enough away from all the abusive jerks terrorizing me!  Whatever happened to enjoying peaceful solitude quiet?  Heaven forbid people should enjoy the lovely gentle healing sounds of Mother Nature, like wind, breezes, rain, leaves rustling through the trees.  This incessant need for overpowering man made noise is way out of control!  Humanity is so much in need for a day that the Earth stood still!  Please visit http://www.noiseoff.org to learn more about the harmful health effects of overpowering obscene man-made noise.

Natural Holistic Herbs Are Safer Than Big Pharma Baby Medicine

My sweet adorable beautiful 10 month old little boy has entered a painful teething phase and it's exhausting.  I connect and communicate with wise Mamas online throughout the world asking them for advice to help my baby and they've been very caring, kind, and loving with their kind sweet advice.  My husband and I bought several popular homeopathic and holistic natural remedies that are supposed to bring relief.  They are very helpful and healing.  Unfortunately, The poor little Cherub is having a very difficult painful time.  As his Mommy who Loves him and cares about him so very much, it's not easy to watch him suffer through this.  We are totally 100% holistic herbal and are not supportive at all of anything synthetic made from big pharma medications OTC or prescription.  We asked his pediatrician for some helpful suggestions and he suggested Baby Tylenol.  We weren't thrilled with the idea, but as an absolute last resort if our sweet adorable son, Michelangelo is miserable and nothing works, we thought maybe we can give him some kind of pain killer to help him feel better.  

Well, we thought about this until we went to the pharmacy and saw the terrible medications being sold.  We were aghast by what we saw.  There was a bottle that contained a moderate amount of big pharma synthetics, but we were relieved to see there were zero toxic petro-chemicals in it.  Then, we looked at another bottle and it showed 2 ingredients, which we found to be very suspicious.  We couldn't find the extensive list of ingredients, so we consulted with the pharmacist and she told us to peel back the label and sure enough, there was a long list of toxic ingredients, including propylene glycol, which is found in anti-freeze, and several F.D.&C's, artificial food dyes that contain coal tar, which is essentially petroleum.  We were mortified and disgusted and we cannot believe that any self-respecting physician who has any integrity would prescribe or recommend that a parent give these medications to their young children.   Personally, I put my trust in Mother Nature's medicine cabinet before I put my family's health and safety at risk with these toxic medications.  Wouldn't you?

Organic Beauty

Organic natural beauty is a precious gift and yet it is completely unappreciated and misunderstood. In a world where people are constantly bombarded with commercials telling them which cool new makeup to wear or which new vibrant glowing shampoo to buy, it's no wonder that men and women often feel inadequate and insecure about their appearance. True natural beauty isn't found in a bottle of shampoo that's loaded with 5,000 petro-chemicals and irritants. True natural beauty is found in a mint leaf or a lemongrass plant. Chemically laden perfume and cosmetics are not the solution to having youthful wonderful beauty. There's nothing beautiful or sexy about a product that contains a toxic soup of chemicals. True beauty is a mixture of sandalwood oil, rose hips oil, lemongrass oil, and sap moss extract oil that when mixed form a wonderful blend that creates a silky beautiful shampoo and cheek blush color that enliven the skin cells, not suffocate them. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and it absorbs everything you put on it. It's wise then to only put earth-friendly healthy plant pigments on your skin so your internal organs are safe and healthy.

Turn off your television and put away the stinky perfume magazines. Either take some time to go on the Internet and learn how to live in a non-toxic earth-friendly manner or drive to the nearest health food store and learn about earth-friendly products that are safe enough to drink and won't destroy your organs and skin cells.

Green Organic Mama Laundry

As a new Mama, life has changed profoundly for me and I'm enjoying and cherishing every moment with my now three month-old little one.  I've been an organic green Earth Steward for more than 20 years and today, my responsibility as a Mama has added much more strength and conviction to my healthy green choices.  As I write this, I'm doing a load of laundry for my beautiful wonderful eight-month-old son, Michelangelo, the loving light of my life.  Although it was a wonderful generous blessing to receive baby clothing donations from the hospital where I gave birth to him, it is a painful reflection of the toxic ignorant world we live in that all the clothing has an overpowering smell of toxic detergent and fragrance. 

It's very painful, but fortunately, my green laundry method helps to mitigate it and my baby's health is safely protected.  Baking soda and white distilled vinegar are two of the most wonderful blessings ever to touch my life and I'm very deeply grateful for the discovery!  I'm hoping and praying that more people will wake up and realize the importance of greening their life via the important messages in my blog and my notperfume website.  Please see the link to my notperfume website on the bottom right side panel on this blog.  Thank you.  Greening your life isn't just about protecting Mother Earth/Gaia.  It's also about protecting your family's health, especially your children, and keeping their air safe and healthy.

Using Toxic Scented Detergent In Rural Settings Is An Insult To Mother Nature

My family moved from the city to a rural area a week ago, looking forward to clean air, quiet, and a lot of lovely nature.  Much to our chagrin, we painfully discovered that the washing machine that is on the property that is shared by several occupants was used by a couple people who used to live here and they used toxic scented commercial detergent.  We discovered this when we lifted the lid of the machine to check it to see if it smelled.  We bowed our heads, feeling very disheartened, and I shook my head, realizing that once again I'd have to run a couple loads with white distilled vinegar, baking soda, and my 2 magical laundry solution balls, before the machine would be safe to use.  I've lost count of how many times I've had to do this in other places we've lived, especially rural settings.  We find it very disheartening and aggravating that people who intentionally live in a rural setting to enjoy being away from the city madness and enjoy quiet and nature continue to use commercial scented detergent that clearly pollutes the groundwater and the air and hurts the wildlife.  Thank goodness there are people like my husband and myself who are aware and enlightened and vote with our wallets in a healthy sane green manner.  We've been using vinegar and baking soda for 20 years and we continue to enjoy efficient healthy clean results.

I'm wondering...does anyone who visits this blog live in an off-grid self-sufficient home with an heirloom vegetable garden and herb garden? With all the horrors going on with Monsanto and corp. America in general and adequate healthy eating being of serious concern, I'm surprised that more people aren't coming together with other like minds to live cooperatively and harmoniously and communally in this sane manner.
