Calm in the storm. How do we find it? Photo by janeb13–725943 Finding calm in the storm can be difficult. This is a habit that we work on daily because, as you may have experienced sometimes life gets hard! Dennis and I live in Florida and we have experienced many hurricanes. There have been days during these storms that we are listening to the TV or if we are without power, listening to the radio and we hear the reports of roofs being ripped off of buildings close to us. We hear about piers being pulled into the ocean only a few miles away or flooding in neighborhoods nearby. As we step out ..read more

There are numerous cell types that either circulate throughout the body or reside in a particular tissue. Each cell type plays a unique role, with diffe ..read more

What does it mean to love yourself? Loving yourself does not mean you do not love others. Honestly, how can we love others if we don’t love ourselves? For me, loving yourself is about your own thoughts. When I was younger I would speak negatively to myself. I was never enough. Constently comparing. Constently telling myself ‘I can’t’ or ‘I’m not good enough’. Then I met a man who captured my heart and we got married. He is an encourager. One afternoon he said; “positive breeds positive and negative breeds negative.” Over the years, each time I would speak negative to myself I would ..read more

Clean Label, Clean Label Living and Clean Living seem to be a thing. Clean Label Living. When I first heard this term it got my attention. Clean Label Living, I’m intrigued!

Grey water is the waste water from showers, baths, sinks, and laundry. You may choose to alter the type of detergents that you use to low or has no phosphorus. Generally, I look for  personal care products, soaps and detergents that are free of boron and very low in salts.   I live in Florida so we have seasons of frequent rainfall. Rain will leach salt out of the soil before it can build up to harm plants. However, an occasional salty product shouldn’t cause harm to plants. Just over half of household water used could be recycled as grey water. Just ensure the chemicals and soap ..read more
