An Important Life Tool Everyone Could Be Using.


An important life tool everyone could be using.

Are you teaching your child to have a relationship with their inner voice?

Do you have a relationship with your inner voice?

The benefits of this vital tool (learning how to listen to your inner voice) can carry you through your lifetime.
Ask yourself these questions to tap into your inner voice.
Tapping into your inner voice or intuition is the ability to access and respond to information coming from the subtle energy fields around us including our higher selves, spirits, angels, nature, signs from "Divine Guidance" or "Source Energy"

1. What are you feeling?
2. How are you feeling?
3. Are you even having a feeling?
By tuning into your inner feelings you are able to learn how to decifer what your gut instincts are trying to tell you.







Your inner voice you have within you is your own inner guidance system.
It is available 24/7. It is up to us to utilize this gift. Every human being on this planet is born with this ability. This ability can be recognized by many different names such as:

Sixth Sense
Goosebumps
ESP
Clairvoyance
Hunch
Divination
Discernment
Intuition
Gut Instinct
Feelings
Vibes
Inner Awareness

Are you tuned in or are you tuned out?

When you are tuned out and unable to listen, your feelings are shut off!

Part of being tuned out could feel like your out of balance, things are just not jiving, something just feels a little off. You are not in the flow of manifesting what you truely want in your life. It is very hard to connect with your inner voice if you are tuned out.

What is your experience? What has happened in your life when you listened to your inner voice?
What about when you weren't listening? (We would love for you to share with us, how trusting your inner voice has made a difference in your life)

Celebrate Earth Day Every Day By Going Green!

Celebrate Earth Day Every Day By Going Green.

Going green isn't just for hippie, organic, mother earth, loving granolas! (As i've been called)
It's for anyone who wants to live in a healthy world.
Here's my simple checklist for going green!
  • Use non toxic cleaners. "According to a five year study, the air in an average American home has chemical contamination levels 70 times greater than outdoor air" The Naturally Clean Home. Karyn Siegal-Maier
  • Use cloth napkins.
  • Donate your used clothing to your local Good Will or womens shelter.
  • Clean up trash around your neighborhood.
  • Use less plastic! There's a giant garbage patch called "plastic soup" twice the size of Texas floating in the Pacific Ocean.
  • Recycle
  • Reuse  -One of my favorite items to reuse is glass candle jars with lids, they make great decorative storage containers.
  • Before you toss anything into the trash ask yourself is you can recycle, donate or reuse the item.
  • Bring your own bags to the grocery store. You could even go to a local craft store pick up some cloth shopping bags and decorate/personalize them for your family. This is great activity to do with your kids.
  • Use reusable water bottles.
  • Lunchskins reusable sandwich bags are handy and easy to use. Easily fits into your lunch box.
  • Buy in bulk, less packaging to be recycled or put into the landfill.
  • Learn about GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms) and what's really in the food you are eating. Read my previous post What's on your plate?
  • Shop local, by shopping local you are stimulating your local economy and you know where your food came from. Buy organic seasonal produce.
  • Buy sustainably grown and produced foods. Look for locally organic ethically raised beef/poultry.
  • Request locally ethically grown/raised products from your grocery stores. Consumers have the power! If enough people start demanding healthier food choices, foods without a long list of unpronouncable ingredients that your great grandma would have never dreamed of eating, foods that are wholesome and healthy, without GMO's, sustainably and ethically raised. Companies will provide them. Let's unite our voices and demand change!
  • Plant a garden, grow some herbs/vegies in pots inside or join a local community garden. Gardening is very grounding and balancing. Run your hands and feet through the dirt and reconnect with Mother Earth. Talk to your plants, thank them for the substance they provide you physically and spiritually. Invite the Elemental Kingdom into your garden world. Ask them for assistance.
  • Carpool, walk or ride a bike whenever possible.
  • Buy free range eggs. Chickens raised in confined unhealthy living environments are under a great deal of stress and can create the Salmonella bacteria in their bodies and eggs.
These are just a small handfull of ideas that have worked for me. Get creative! Remember your children are learning by watching you. By watching what you buy, how you cook it, what you throw away, your actions do not go unoticed.

Change starts with us. One consumer, mom, dad, grandparent, student, blogger, inspired writer at a time!

2012 The Beginning..Part One

2012 The beginning-Part One

This is what 2012 is. A movement from what was to what is.
Children will absorb this in a way we do not understand, for it
will simply be their world. It would be ignorant to try and shield them of this change.

Many choose the old beliefs and cling to these beliefs.
There is no future there.
The future is armageddon for the old beliefs.
That is not the humanity that needs saving.
These things are what will save humanity.
  • Love
  • Peace
  • Joy
  • Harmony
  • Togetherness
Not life rafts and shelters.

Spread Joy!

The beginning has to come from the end of something.
It is said at this time many are angry.
This vibration is anchored in a decaying system that does not by evidence, proven does not foster what is needed for the future. Destroying is caused by disconnect from the creation.
Honor all and you will be involved in this creation from the trees to the animals to  your climate to your clan.
Find direction in this change. It is there.
  • Wisdom is in direction.
  • Direction is in purpose.
  • Purpose is in determination.
Which is the manifestation of thought. We feel this should be the center piece of life at this time.
For what is will not be. Change is constant.
As we always say follow your intuition!

Be sure to continue with 2012-The Beginning Part Two for the complete article.

An alternative viewpoint on autism!

  • Children with autism are very powerful beings on this planet.
  • They are here for a very specific purpose and are beginning to unveil that purpose.
  • They are teaching their parents how to be vibrational interpreters.
  • They are not flawed or inferior they are just different and misunderstood.
  • They are here to assist in this time of awakening.
  • They are very advanced, they can sometimes communicate without words. (when your dog hears/feels your thoughts about wanting to take him on a walk and then he runs over and touches his leash with his nose you don't think, wow he has learning issues or that he has something wrong with him. You think, "that's pretty cool you knew what i was thinking".
  • They connect on on an intuitive basis through thoughts and feelings. They are asking us to feel rather than to think.
  • They will be who they came here to be and will wait for the rest of us to catch up.
  • Children are old souls that come in with alot of capacity and lessons learned and to be learned.
  • They have much to teach us if we will take the time to listen and learn from them.
For a different take on Autism you might be interested in checking out this DVD.
DVD: The Autistic Revolution. Children in the time of the awakening!

When I was walking through a local bookstore the other day,
I was drawn to this book.It's another alternative view on what's
going on with the children of today.
    Beyond the Indigo Children: The New Children and the Coming of the Fifth World                            
Tobin Hart interviewed more than 100 children
and adults about their spiritual experiences.
They share their experiences and their secret spiritual lives.

   The Secret Spiritual World of Children: The Breakthrough Discovery that Profoundly Alters Our Conventional View of Children's Mystical Experiences
One things for sure there are many different view points on autism, is it caused in utero? Is it from a nutritional deficiency? To much mercury or other toxins built up in their bodies? Or are they just simply here to teach us how to raise our vibrational levels and to help us shift into another way of being? I guess only time will tell.
Regardless they are depending on us to provide a place to grow and expand and become who they came here to be. It's up to us to believe and open up our minds to different ways of thinking.
As we always say: Follow your intuition.

If you are inspired to learn more about alternative views of autism be sure to check out the cutting edge work of Suzy Miller, founder of Blue Star Brilliance and author of AWESOMISM! A New Way to Understand the Diagnosis of Autism.

Parents all over with autistic children are having great results working with color.

Am I Not Adorable????




















Our beautiful Maggie, because of her and millions of other precious babies out there is why we care and write and share our mind thoughts with society. We are their protectors. For they have no one else.

Their very life depends upon us . As parents and human beings, hopefully we feel the instinct and need to support the inner light of the children. It is a lifelong learning and teaching asset for both parent and child.

The old saying "to teach is to learn and to learn is to teach" is such a true statement.
They come here with a clean slate.
One of the most valuable assets we can give a child is what we put in there minds.

Examples of ways we affect them are :
  • By everything we do and say and teach them ,and our actions.
  • How we handle situations, If you are yelling or talking in a frightening voice it scares them every time. They will carry that through-out their childhood in their core belief system that they learned from childhood...be aware of your mood swings because they are living it right along with you.
  • Don't be naive to this fact it is a true statement. Ask any psychiatrist .They are feeling you and what you are doing and your emotions .
Believe me they are watching your every move. You are raising little geniuses dont be fooled by their size.
I beg you all to be aware of this to the best of your ability, you are the example If you want them to be the best they can be than you must give them the best of you.
Enjoy what you have what ever it is.
For you see, it is all a gift.

What's on your plate?


Have you seen the movie Food, Inc? It is a movie that takes a hard look at where our food comes from.
This is a time in America when we are wanting the truth. It's hard to make educated choices in our lives if we don't know the facts. Some people don't want America to see this movie.  I'm personally greatful that there are people willing to risk it all to get the truth out. Then we as consumers and parents can make our own informed opinions and decisions. We are the voice for our children! It is up to us to demand healthier food choices. There's a small handfull of companies running our country. They are making the decisions. Unfortunately the decisions they are making are not in our best interests they are in the interest of making money. The impact upon generations to come could be astronomical if we don't wake up and demand changes now. There are other voices to join out there speaking out on behalf of everyone's option for healthy food.
Food, Inc was an academy award nominee for best documentary feature.
Check it out and let me know what you think of the movie and our food crisis in America!
Make sure to follow food, inc on facebook to stay informed.


Food, Inc.
Food it's what's for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Where does your food really come from?
How healthy is your food? What are we really feeding our kids?
This is a topic that is popping up everywhere with good reason.
We should know what's in our food and were it comes from.
If you can't pronounce the ingredients on the label you probably shouldn't be eating it.
Killer at LargeFour-Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year LongGrow Great Grub: Organic Food from Small Spaces

There's a new show on ABC called "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution". I think it's a great show.
He's trying to change the menus in schools to include more healthier choices.
This is a great show and it could be beneficial to watch with your children.

Simple tips to eating healthier and reducing your environmental impact:
  • Shop local. Do you have a local food co-op you could join? Local food co-ops carry mostly local foods with a smaller price mark up. If there's no co-op available ask your mainstream grocery stores to carry more local organic foods.
  • Learn about genetically modified food. It's everywhere!
  • Eat more organic fresh fruits and vegetables. Eat whats in season. Eat local.
  • Grow your own vegetable garden outside or inside in pots. Teach your children the importance of knowing how to grow their own food. Get them involved. If they have participated in choosing the seeds or plants, watering, taking care of and providing love to their plants they will be more apt to eating the vegetables they grew. Fruits and vegetables locally harvested have more life energy available in them than an item that was transported around the world.
  • Shop your local farmers markets.
  • Keep your cubboards and fridge stocked with healthy choices.
  • Eat everything in moderation.
  • Drink lots of filtered water.
  • Eat smaller portions.
  • Take the time to enjoy and acknowledeg what you are eating, thank your food.
  • Respect yourself, your planet and your food.
