-"What's Wrong With Our Food System? And How We Can Make A Difference." ~ Birke Baehr~

This is a great video, I just had to share it. I hope you watch and enjoy, this kids is awesome.

I do believe we should all buy as much as we can locally and organic. We are putting too much junk into our systems. If you only knew what was in all our foods, you would think twice. I hope you choose your health over convenience.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE!

You have a choice in using safer products out there. Do you realize how many chemicals and harmful toxins that is out there? Well I tell you much more than you probably realize. It’s just not in our air; it’s in our homes as well. The things you may use every day in your home may contain harmful chemicals and toxins. These things are in our shampoos, lotions, soaps, tooth paste, cleansers, make up, deodorants, laundry detergents, baby products and other common products.

Like most people, I always assumed that if a product was out in the market it must be safe. I now know this is not the case. Actually most consumer products that we all use every day are filled with toxic chemicals, many which require special handling if used in a chemical laboratory or in the work place.

There are basically three ways that toxic chemicals can enter your body; by swallowing, by breathing, or by contact with your skin or eyes.  

When most people hear about a chemical poisoning, they usually think about swallowing. Over three- quarters of all of poison exposures reported to poison control centers involve ingestion of toxic house hold products.

The personal care products we put on our skin and hair create possible toxic exposures through skin. In 1989 a House subcommittee asked the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to analyze 2,983 chemicals used in personal care products, and 884 were found to be toxic. Of these 778 can cause acute toxicity. Of these 778 can cause tumors, 218 can cause reproductive complications, 314 can cause skin and eye irritations.

What you can do. The first step, educate yourself. There are lots of books and websites containing information on this subject. The next step is to begin to eliminate toxics from your daily life. While cleaning and personal care products are not the only source of toxic chemicals in your home, they are among the most toxic and deadly. Fortunately they are also the easiest to replace. 

There are products out on the market that are green, with no harsh chemicals and are safe for us. Do your research because not all companies are green, they just have a green line. I buy all my products from one place, a company with exemplary business practices, and a reputation of quality and value. They have been in business 25 years and have been green since they opened there doors in 1985.  They have over 350 every day household products for the entire family. I couldn’t be happier since I switched stores, and my family is seeing the difference in our overall heath.

If you would like information of where I shop for my green health and wellness products you can email me at: jennmclennan@hotmail.com or go to the website www.Safer4myFamily.com

7 Golden Rules for Working at Home

By: Guest Contributor

Nothing compares to taking your lunch breaks with your 2-year-old and her teddy bear, canceling calls and meetings on a whim to play hooky on a sunny day or write a sentimental blog post to the sounds of laughter in the playroom. It’s the reason many moms are choosing to work-from-home and combine building a business with raising their kids.
For all the fun and games that go with working at home, if you are serious about building a sustainable business, you need to follow the 7 Golden Rules for Working at Home:

1. Designate a workspace – Find a quiet corner of the house where you can set up your workspace, preferably with enough storage space for files and any other related items. The next best thing is a portable filing folder to storing paperwork and clearing work clutter off of common family areas.
2. Schedule official ‘office hours’ – Maybe it’s early in the morning before the household wakes up and when the baby is napping or maybe you hire a babysitter for a couple of days a week. Whatever you do, you need to schedule in undisturbed focus time.
3. Get organized (to the extreme) – Pre-pack lunches and activity bags, create a family in and out box to manage the things that come and go from the house, and plan your weekly menus and bulk shop for ingredients.
4. Set clear boundaries – Let friends and family know that you are working from home and set clear boundaries on calling or dropping in. The same holds true for clients. Let them know when you are available and manage their expectations by avoiding responding to voicemail and email in ‘off’ hours.
5. Find help – Parenting and building a business are both full-time jobs. Doing both requires ‘outsourcing’ tasks. The good news is you get to ditch the stuff you hate doing anyway, like cleaning the toilets or bookkeeping. It doesn’t matter what you get help with – the key is getting help.
6. Set daily goals – Use daily goals to stay focused and get priority tasks done. Remember to make your goals SMART (Specific-Measurable-Achievable-Realistic-Time-Sensitive). For example, growing your web traffic by 10% by next month or adding 3 new clients this quarter.
7. Celebrate your successes – All work and no play makes mommy a dull (and often overtired, grumpy and overwhelmed) girl. Take the time to celebrate the small daily victories and treat yourself to a bit of me-time for the big milestones.

Carla is the proud (and totally biased) mother of one very precocious daughter, a loving wife to one very lucky husband, and a supporter of moms everywhere who want to build a lifestyle business that gives them the flexibility to work-from-home and raise a family.
She is a believer that the best business training isn’t in the classroom or the boardroom, but the playroom where she hones her business skills on a daily basis. Want marketing help? Try upselling a toddler on carrot sticks instead of cookies. Need to negotiate a contract? Try talking a reluctant preschooler into washing her hair.

Here are some more Motivational Poems!

Here are some motivational poems. Some will get you thinking. Some will motivate you to take action. If you find a poem that resonates with you, save it. Enjoy these motivational poems!

Influence
By Joseph Norris
Drop a pebble in the water,
And its ripples reach out far;
And the sunbeams dancing on them
May reflect them to a star.
Give a smile to someone passing,
Thereby making his morning glad;
It may greet you in the evening
When your own heart may be sad.
Do a deed of simple kindness;
Though its end you may not see,
It may reach, like widening ripples,
Down a long eternity.

Before You
By William Arthur Ward
Before you speak, listen.
Before you write, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you invest, investigate.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try.
Before you retire, save.
Before you die, give.


___________________________________________
Do More
By William Arthur Ward
Do more than belong: participate.
Do more than care: help.
Do more than believe: practice.
Do more than be fair: be kind.
Do more than forgive: forget.
Do more than dream: work.

___________________________________________
We Must
By William Arthur Ward
We must be silent before we can listen.
We must listen before we can learn.
We must learn before we can prepare.
We must prepare before we can serve.
We must serve before we can lead.

Be The Best of Whatever You Are
By Douglas Malloch
If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley-but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.
If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass
But the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
There's something for all of us here,
There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,
And the task you must do is the near.
If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail
Be the best of whatever you are!

In Honour of my Anniversary

In honour of my 4th Anniversary today, I am going to share the bible verse that was read at our wedding. I picked this verse as it is one of my favourites and was so suitable for our wedding.

<< 1 Corinthians 13 >> English Standard Version

---

The Way of Love

1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned,^a but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;^b 6it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

13So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
