There has been so much controversy whether organically grown foods are better than traditional. I decided I would give you some good reasons why organic is better and how it benefits your health.  1. Protect Your Children! Did you know that the average child receives four times more exposure than an adult to at least eight widely used cancer-causing pesticides in food? 2. Protect Our Water! Water covers 3/4 of the planet and makes up 2/3 of our body mass. Despite the importance or water, the EPA estimates that pesticides and herbicides have contaminated the ground water in at least 38 states. Unfortunately only 54% of the states have reported in, so it could be much more. 3. Support a True Economy! It may seem that organically grown foods are more expensive, but the retail prices are deceptive. Our current food prices do not reflect the cost of federal subsidiaries to conventional agriculture, the cost of cleaning up contaminated drinking water, the cost of loss of wildlife-habitat and topsoil, or the cost of disposal and cleanup of the hazardous waste generated by the manufacturing of pesticides. 4. Reduce Your Health Risks! Many of the EPA-approved pesticides were registered long before extensive research linked these chemicals to cancer and other diseases. The EPA now considers 60% of all herbicides, 90% of all fungicides and 30% of all insecticides as potentially cancer-causing. Pretty scary stuff huh? 5. Mass Produced Veggies Have Lost Their Nutrients! Data from the USDA food composition tables, dating back to 1936, reported that the land is nutrient deficient. Since 1975 to today, dozens of vegetables have been checked by Alex Jack, a macrobiotic nutritionist, and he has discovered that, on average, calcium is down 27%, iron down 37%, vitamin A down 21% and vitamin C down 30%. You can either pay now or pay later. Getting sick and paying horrific medical bills due to eating nutrient deficient foods that are creating free radicals throughout the body causing life threatening illness or disease makes buying organic far less expensive in the long run. These reasons alone should make buying organic foods the smart thing to do for you and your family, if not for the rest of the world. |

Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers. He
was raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother
and a nagual (shaman) grandfather. A near-death experience
changed his life and propelled him into an intensive
practice of self-inquiry. Now a nagual himself, from the
Eagle Knight lineage, Ruiz is dedicated to sharing his
knowledge of the teachings of the ancient Toltec.
In the Toltec tradition, three fundamental masteries guide us to out true nature, which is happiness, freedom and love. The first is Mastery of Awareness, the second is the Mastery of Transformation and the third is the result of the first two, which is the Mastery of Love. When we master Awareness, Transformation and Love, we reclaim our divinity and become one with God. This is the goal of the Toltec. Happy reading. |

As a business owner, your business is a reflection of you.
You have strengths as well as weaknesses. From experience
what I have learned is this; that as I concentrated on my
personal growth, my business began to grow. I literally had
to clean up my own psyche so that I can handle the
challenges, whether business or personal, as I
 continue to
move forward.
Quite interesting, you will find that as you continue to evolve by identifying your true self, your life purpose will become very clear. Unfortunately, knowing yourself isn't the only way to grow a business. Here are a few strategies that should be applied on a daily basis: 1. Effective Advertising. Interrupt, engage, educate and then make a low risk offer that will help them take the next step in becoming a client. 2. Group Presentations. This is a powerful way to get your message across. Develop a professional presentation; let someone you respect review it and then set out to do it! 3. Leveraging Relationships. The relationships we form in our business activities will help to get the word out about our product or services. Help one another by referring them if you believe that have a quality product or service. Why not tap into the wisdom of coaches, computer wizards and other business professionals who are there to support you and help your business grow? If you are stuck, meditation and reflection is a great way to get true answers about what course to follow. Everything we have comes from God, business growth included. We can either work really hard or we can give it up and let the Universe provide us with methods and actions we need to take so we don't have to feel so overwhelmed. Remember......you're never in it alone! |

The largest beef recall in US history was the result of poor
federal policy. Take action online TODAY to prevent cruelty
to downed animals and protect public health
Downed animal
(referred to as Downers) are animals that are too sick or
injured to walk on their own. As the recent undercover
investigation by the Humane Society of the US showed, these
animals are often dragged to slaughter with chains or just
left to suffer and die....sometimes for days. This kind of
suffering is inexcusable!!!!! In addition, downed animals
have a higher risk of carrying diseases like mad cow, E.
coli and Salmonella. Congress is considering a bill to ban the slaughter of downed animals. Please join me and encourage your Representatives and Senators to support the Downed Animal and Food and Safety Protection Act. It only takes a minute......here's the link: https://community.hsus.org/campaign/2007_downed_animals3?rk=q728-x11HgkyW |
