‘Tis Always the Season
Abraham Hicks:
“I’m going to resonate with love. I’m going to love unconditionally. I’m going to love them whether they love me or not.
I’m going to stay in vibrational alignment with who I am. I’m going to see them as well, even when they are sick. Otherwise, I cannot heal. I’m going to see them as whole, even when they are fragmented. Otherwise, I cannot be in harmony with who I am.
I’m going to love them, because loving them is who I am. I’m not going to let them dissuade me from who I am and then blame them for not being who I am.
I am going to teach alignment. I am going to teach Source. I am going to teach wellbeing. I am going to teach love. I am going to teach
*unconditional love.* I am going to love across the board.
I’m going to find things to love consistently, so that the Universe delivers to me mostly things to love. It’s gonna be a really odd day when I feel like condemning, and then it is only going to be temporary. Because my condemnation only makes me want to reach for the part that I love more…
I’m going to focus myself into alignment with that which is love. I’m going to focus myself into alignment with that which is Source. And I’m going to stand in that vortex of wellbeing and I’m going to love every single one of them for the EXPANSION they’ve caused in me, for the caring that they have for me, for the desire that they hold.
I’m going to hold myself in vibrational alignment with all they have become, knowing that in time they will come into alignment with who they have become.”

What Does Your Toothpaste Say to Your Thyroid? “Sleep My Pet”
If you use conventional toothpastes every morning and night, you are placing fluoride very close to your thyroid gland which is located near the brain stem. We really need to think about this one! We should stop doing this!
According to the US National Research Council, “several lines of information indicate an effect of fluoride exposure on thyroid function.”
Fluoride’s potential to impair thyroid function is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that — up until the 1970s — European doctors used fluoride as a thyroid-suppressing medication for patients with HYPER-thyroidism (over-active thyroid). Fluoride was utilized because it was found to be effective at reducing the activity of the thyroid gland – even at doses as low as 2 mg/day.
Today, many people living in fluoridated communities are ingesting doses of fluoride (1.6-6.6 mg/day) that fall within the range of doses (2 to 10 mg/day) once used by doctors to reduce thyroid activity in hyperthyroid patients.
While it may be that the thyroid in a patient with hyperthyroidism is particularly susceptible to the anti-thyroid actions of fluoride, there is concern that current fluoride exposures may be playing a role in the widespread incidence of HYPO-thyroidism (under-active thyroid) in the U.S.
Hypothyrodisim, most commonly diagnosed in women over 40, is a serious condition with a diverse range of symptoms including: fatigue, depression, weight gain, hair loss, muscle pains, increased levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL), and heart disease.. The drug (Synthroid) used to treat hypothyroidism is now one of the top five prescribed drugs in the U.S.
As recommended by the US National Research Council: “The effects of fluoride on various aspects of endocrine function should be examined further, particularly with respect to a possible role in the development of several diseases or mental states in the United States.”
Source: fluoridealert.org
Consider the affects of a daily ingestion of fluoride and how it affects us as a society; unexplained fatigue, slow metabolism, feeling bored… a nation of tired kids. It is time to look at our household products and the information that is available to us and make better choices! Back to nature with us all!

Why GardenPlum.com Buys Local & Its Not What You’d Think
I received two packages in the mail today, wow did they hit my joy button! Over the years I have upheld a strict policy to purchase directly from artists in a desire to support them. Little, if nothing comes from China or some other place with a large carbon footprint. But really – the reason why I buy directly from an artist – is because its FUN AND RIGHT!!! It intuitively makes sense!
Rita Lloyd sent me her new book “Unconditional Self Love” which I am reviewing. It is a sequel to her DVD and book on Self Love. LQQk at her playful butterfly stickers! Thanks Rita! (Rita has created her art in part to assist battered women.)
This one made me roar, my retired Celtic Garden Stickmaker is apparently up to something and proud of it!
These are the things that make the difference for me!
Thank you God!
TGIF and Happy Weekend friends!!!
Horse Property in Hollis & a Note on Sally Fallon of Nourishing Traditions!
Look at this horse property! This huge farmhouse is about 1.5 hours from Garden Plum.
A luxury home, a horse property with acreage, herbs and rooms for processing them – finished off with a hot tub. Looks pretty doesn’t it?
Very soon, once again, farming and herbalism will earn the keep which is an up and coming economic reality. Did you know the USDA is now saying they need local farmers and they are funding this effort? That certified organic, and authentic lifestyles are NEEDED because the way we feed people now is not working?! That our current food model is not sustainable? This means re-establish your gardens for food and medicine and soon this will be feasible once again. Mass food production is killing us, and we need to get back to basics and our U.S. Government is putting their money where their mouth is. CLICK HERE TO HEAR THEM SAY IT.
SALLY FALLON COMING TO NH!
I just received news Sally Fallon is coming to Nashua (next town over from this house) in November! Here is the info:
The Fourfold Path to Healing
Nashua, NH, Friday Jan 29- Sunday Jan 31, 2010
Working with the Laws of Nutrition, Therapeutics, Movement and Meditation in the Art of Medicine. An incredible weekend of dynamic discussions, presentations and lectures with Tom Cowan, MD, Sally Fallon and Jaimen McMillan, authors of The Fourfold Path to Healing.
It does seem like lately New Hampshire has become a bit notorious for its herbal movement and abundance of herbalists and alternative medicine in the state. This means it is time for us to take our place of abundance as needed healers in the area as people become more aware of truth.
Are you Skittish? Rosemary Flower Essence
Are you a skittish person? Do loud noises make you jump? Have you had a trauma or tragedy in your life that makes you feel as though you would *always* rather be somewhere else? These types of behaviors could indicate that your soul is physically out of your body. And thats not really a beneficial place for you to be! Many times in life, when we fear for our lives or experience trauma, our soul literally leaves the body out of fear.
Rosemary Flower Essence brings you back into your body, fully and completely, so that you can enjoy life to the fullest. So that the endless skittish or concern that you are in danger can end. Finally!
Just like when you eat fresh rosemary and you feel a warming sensation, when you ingest it in flower essence form, it gives the soul a warming sensation and coaxes you fully back into your body.
I was recently making a batch, and had some leftover. I decided rather than waste the Mother Essence, I would take a gulp. Boy was I surprised what happened next! Sometimes we dont’ even know if we are fully in our bodies or not! Friend me on FaceBook to join in…
Sustainable Living with 7 Acres, Its Like a Blank Easel.
I haven’t blogged about farmhouses in quite a while and have been getting requests for more info so here is a nice one that is only about 7 miles from here. I always admire it when I drive by. One thing that catches my eye is “bridge over a small stream”- I have always wanted a small stream on my property so I could invite Angelica if she was willing! And it has a workshop (herbshop???) and a wood fireplace which is great for slow salve recipes.
With 7 acres the possibilities are endless aren’t they… come live near me, keepin’ it green, returning to a sustainable life! Its fun to dream the possibilities, feeding my house hunting fetish! This one could be fields of potatoes and fall veggies, hm… goldenseal in the forested parts… Ginseng??? Fields of St. John’s Wort? Its like a blank easel. Edible, medicinal, sustainable… BTW, Weare does not have a berry farm of any kind… another possibility!
Also, I’m happy to introduce you to my Realtor friend Donna Merrill. I’ve known Donna for several years, she lives here in Weare and has horses, chickens… is a vegetarian… and is working on her “Green Realtor Certificate”. She specializes in farmhouses & horse properties.
Email Donna if you like with questions! Oh yeah, the price is $214,900 if you are curious. Click any of the pics to see more info.
