Oprah has some great inspiring words to say, so here are some quotes from her:
1) Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.
2) The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.
3) Turn your wounds into wisdom.
4) Understand that the right to choose your own path is a sacred privilege. Use it. Dwell in possibility.
5) We can’t become what we need to be by remaining what we are.
6) What goes intended for you goes far beyond anything you can imagine.
7) Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.
8 ) When I look into the future, it is so bright it burns my eyes.
9) Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded, or how much power you have.
10) The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
11) Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness.
12) The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.
13) The whole point of being alive is to evolve into a complete person you were intended to be.
14) You can have it all. You just can’t have it all at once.
15) You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it.
16) Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.
17) I feel that luck is preparation meeting opportunity.
18) If you come to fame not understanding who you are, it will define who you are.
19) I have a lot of things to prove to myself. One is that I can live my life fearlessly.
20) I’m black; I don’t feel burdened by it and I don’t think it is a huge responsibility. It’s part of who I am. It does not define me.
21) If you want to accomplish the goals of your life, you have to begin with the spirit.
22) Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody is going to know whether you did it or not.
23) I don’t believe in failure. It is not failure if you enjoyed the process.
24) I always know I was destined for greatness.
25) Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself.
26) I am a woman in process. I’m just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.
27) Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this moment is the only one you know you have for sure.
28) Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment
29) Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who ever mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.
30) As you become more clear about who you really are, you will be better able to decide what is best for you, the first time round.

Did You Know......?
Did you know.................
50% of all illness is due to poor indoor air quality (Source: 1989 State of Massachusetts Study)
AIR FRESHENERS: interfere with the ability to smell by coating nasal passages with an oily film, or by releasing a nerve deadening agent! Toxins in air fresheners include: Formaldehyde: highly toxic, known carcinogen. Phenol: can cause skin to burn, peel, and sweat. Can cause convulsions, coma, circulatory collapse and even DEATH!
LIQUID DISH-SOAPS: is the leading cause of poisonings in the home for children under the age of 6 (over 2.1 million accidental poisonings per year) (contains formaldehyde and ammonia in most brands) One Million poisonings in Canada each year are due to household cleaner ingestion. Some are fatal. The #1 cause of household poisoning is dish detergent. What kinds of chemicals are in those products? http://www.rense.com/general19/chemical.htm
AUTOMATIC DISHWASHING DETERGENTS: contain dry chlorine that is highly concentrated. #1 cause of child poisonings, according to poison control centers.
CHLORINE BLEACH: is a strong corrosive and can burn or irritate skin, eyes and the respiratory system. Can cause vomiting or coma if swallowed! WARNING! Never mix with ammonia as the fumes are very dangerous and can be DEADLY!
AMMONIA: is very volatile and damaging to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract!
FURNITURE POLISH: contains Petroleum Distillates, which are highly flammable and can cause lung and skin cancer!
DRAIN CLEANER: most drain cleaners contain lye, hydrochloric acid or trichloroethane, which are all very caustic. They burn the skin and eyes, and can cause liver and kidney damage.
OVEN CLEANER: contain lye, which is a strong caustic and irritant to skin and eyes. Can cause tissue damage if swallowed.
TOOTHPASTE: can contain a number of harmful ingredients, such as: ammonia, benzyl alcohol/sodium benzoate, colors, ethanol, flavours, fluoride, formaldehyde, mineral oil, plastic (PVP), saccharin. Formaldehyde, mineral oil, PVP, and saccharin are all classified as carcinogens or suspected carcinogen, as is fluoride, which has been banned in many European countries and is the subject of concern with regard to thyroid problems. In fact, as of April 1997, toothpaste is required to carry poison control information on the label as even a small amount can harm or kill a small child.
Occupational Safety & Health analyzed 2,983 chemicals used in personal care products. A personal care product is de-fined as anything we use to clean our bodies, or make ourselves look or smell good.
The results are as follows:
884 are toxic
146 cause tumours
218 cause reproductive complications
314 cause biological mutation
376 cause skin and eye irritations
778 caused acute toxicity

Over the last 20-30 years, as more toxic chemicals have been introduced in greater amounts, the level of toxins stored in adipose tissues (fat cells) of our bodies has risen. Bio-accumulation studies have shown that some toxins store in our bodies for life. Greater and greater amounts are being stored at younger ages. Diseases that used to occur later in life are now appearing at younger ages. Diseases that used to be rare are more frequent. For Example: There has been a 28% increase in childhood cancer since the addition of pesticides into household products. (Source: National Cancer Institute)
In one decade, there has been a 42% increase in asthma (29% for men; 82% for women-the higher rate for women is believed to be due to women's longer exposure times to household chemicals) (Source: Center for Disease Control)
Due to the increase in toxic build-up in our bodies, including the toxic build-up of formaldehyde, dead bodies are not decomposing as fast as they used to. (Source: National Institutes of Health)
There is an increased risk for leukemia in children where parents have used pesticides in the home or garden before the
child's birth (Source: Journal of the National Cancer Institute)
Over 150 chemicals found in the average home have been linked to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological
abnormalities. (Source): Consumer Product Safety Commission

In most cases, however, you won't find much information on the label. There are no requirements of manufacturers to actually disclose what is in a product, and there is no regulation or enforcement. All of it falls under proprietary trade secret legislation.
Today, cancer is the leading cause of death for women ages 35-74. In 1901 cancer was considered a rare disease. Statistics show that only 1 out of 8000 people had cancer. TODAY, according to the American Cancer Society, 1 out of every 3 people has cancer. TODAY, 1 out of every 2 people has been touched by cancer. The fear of cancer is on every-one’s mind these days. So many forms of cancer and they all had to start somewhere . . .

How Safe is My Family?
This is the question that every parent should be asking themselves.
We have no choice but to breathe the air, eat the food, and drink the water; but we DO have a CHOICE of what we put on our skin and what products we have in our homes.
I know that I personally do not ever want to believe that I caused harm to my family, when I had the choice to change it. I’d love to help ensure a safer home for your family.
For more information on how to make your home a healthier place for you and your family please go to my website and I will call you with the information. I would love to help you have a healthier safer home!
