    <title>It’s only my POV</title>

    <description>I have never been one to sit silent when a heated discussion is taking place. Yes some will say I am opinionated. I agree with them. We were given the freedom of speech from the powers that be and our US government, to this date anyway, allows us that same freedom. &lt;br/&gt;So---I use it from time to time.&lt;br/&gt;You can read in this blog some of my thoughts on lots of different things that cross my mind, the headlines or are of general concern to the planet, well being and the population.&lt;br/&gt;I welcome your comments and suggestions for topics to speak about</description>

      <description>So you go to see a Natural Health Practitioner, either an Acupuncturist, Homeopath, Chiropractor etc...&lt;br/&gt;They look you over ,do some treatments in the office, get your history and complaints and send you home with bottles of remedies that are touted to make you feel better by the time the bottle is finished.&lt;br/&gt;You follow their instructions to the tooth but don’t feel any different at the end of the month!!&lt;br/&gt;How can this be?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I recently discovered that I have a “weakened” response to several vitamins and minerals as well as many other things. As well as this I have a “stressed” response to some items as well.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We often think that allergies have to be of an acute nature with flare ups of rashes or some other violent obvious display. This is not always true of an allergic response. We can have subtle allergic responses that our bodies can handle from minute to minute without totally disrupting our lives. These types of allergies, I believe, are the type that cause us to eventually get these “Age Related Dis-Eases”.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When the body is constantly dealing with immune responses(unbeknownst to us) it gets weak. One of the major complaints of people when they hit a certain age is that they “Feel Tired” all the time or “weak”, “no energy”.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I highly suggest, based on my own experiences, that if you are not feeling yourself these days, even after trying everything in the book---then get to a N.A.E.T. practitioner right away. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.naet.com/&quot;&gt;Find one here&lt;/a&gt; .&lt;br/&gt;This system  discovers the weak responses to “allergens” and then immediately removes them so that you can continue on your path to a better you. It is a system, unlike having to “Avoid those things that you are allergic to”, that retrains your Brain to think that the “allergen” is a friend, instead of an enemy. By doing this, the “allergy” goes away.&lt;br/&gt;Dr. Devi S. Nambudripad created this revolutionary treatment after discovering and healing her own allergies. &lt;br/&gt;I suggest getting either book shown here, read it and make an appointment to see what&lt;br/&gt;underlying immune response weaknesses you have, fix them and then start any other program of vitamins, minerals , dietary changes etc.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Good Luck!!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>

Being as we are under construction and are using the storage area that the tree normally resides in until the next December---we have no choice but to leave it be.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I have recently chosen to use it as the official “Holiday” marker in our home. So I cut out some hearts, decorated them like those little candies we use to get in kindergarten and hung them on the tree.&lt;br/&gt;A few of the xmas ornaments, like the crystal stuff, red bows and a few of the clear snowflakes add to the transition time of the year from winter to spring as well as sparkling it up a bit.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This year Valentines day falls with the Presidents day holiday and I am busy gathering paper money denominations to celebrate that “holiday”.&lt;br/&gt;I can’t wait to see our money tree for the first time when I walk in the door. My husband has been wishing for a money tree for a long time now--his wish will come true....soon:)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The heart season is among us and the other day we were busy making pink pasta to use for heart shaped raviolis. Never making a colored pasta before I came up with beet juice for the coloring--it works great! The perfect color pink, not offensive at all on the plate but definitely needs a cream sauce over a tomato. Or maybe a deeper beet colored sauce.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Need to work on the sauce color a bit. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Already thinking ahead to St. Patrick’s day and looking for tiny beer bottles to hang on the tree. I would do the regular size bottles---but that might mark us for life as the trailer trash couple who live on the hill:)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If you have any ideas or links to where I might be able to find these small beer bottles please send them to me. I will be traveling a lot between now and then so the sooner the better.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Happy Valentines Day to all of you&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>

      <description>How fast are your thoughts transmitted into the universe???&lt;br/&gt;How often do you even stop to think about that?&lt;br/&gt;With computers--our thoughts(e-mails) travel pretty fast depending on your connection. &lt;br/&gt;With snail mail it may take a few days to a few weeks depending on where you are throwing your thoughts to.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I have had a great experience when the thought created reality within seconds--or some may say it was coincidence, which is actually, events happening at the same time--so pretty much the same thing as thought tossed out there and thought retrieved(or thought stimulates universe into action).&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Have you ever been thinking of someone then they call--yes--we all have. And each time we are just as shocked as the time before---wow!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I have become habituated to really put intent behind my thoughts, put specific dates, places and names with them and send them out there big time---like a letter to the sky.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And usually I get what I think of !!!!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;So try it---it is sort of like prayer---just be specific in details because the universe gets tons of mental mails a second and the more specific you are the quicker the universe can send you what you are praying for.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;More on this topic a bit later...stay tuned&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>
