Personal Reflections

I’ve been working on a class about blood and blood typing with a couple of dear fellow educators. As I do my deep dives, it occurred to me to wonder why insects don’t have red blood (does anyone else’s mind go to places like this😂?)
I won’t keep you in suspense if you are now on the edge of your seat with curiosity. Unlike mankind, the blood of insects does not transport oxygen. …. therefore no reddish colored hemoglobin is needed. 
Love your blood friends. Don’t take it for granted and keep it clean and healthy or it cannot nourish the rest of your body.

We are created to think, reason, and use the intuitive gifts the Holy Spirit gave each one of us. Otherwise, we’d be not much different than a sea cucumber….. tho, these curious beasts still intuitively know when and how to protect themselves! 
Does the following article make you pause? Pfizer is suspending distribution of Chantix because “heightened levels of the carcinogen NDMA was found in some lots of the pills.” 
Furthermore, ” Pfizer told Reuters the distribution pause was ordered out of abundance of caution while further testing is conducted. The FDA approved varenicline, which is marketed as Chantix, in 2006.” (their words, not mine)
Meanwhile, the distribution of a certain product (ALSO made by the same company) continues……. despite the rising deaths (to date, the VAERS numbers exceed 6500 cumulatively) and is most likely a gross underestimate of actuality. That number is not reflective of only Pfizer. It includes the other media darlings who are producing a similar product that continues to be offered to people worldwide despite its “emergency approval ” status  to combat something that has less than a 0.1% death rate. 
Does that seem odd to you? The carcinogen factor of Chantix hasn’t officially even killed anyone (yet), and it’s an FDA approved product that has been around for more than 15 years.
Saturday ponderings…..

I’m a few days late on wishing everyone a wonderful World Bee Day! We had bees for several years and kept them organically.  Tragically,  we lost our two very strong hives to an outside toxin. Quite literally, thousands of bees died overnight😭😭😭. 
Someday, we’ll keep bees again. For now, we are relying on a few wild hives to do our pollinating. Thankfully, they are bountiful on our farm. 
Did you know that for every 2 out of 3 bites of food you eat (provided it’s REAL food…. not the synthetic junk you can’t pronounce), you can thank a bee? 
15 years ago, I wrote a children’s book on bees…. it’s “nature fiction”… designed to teach kids and adults alike about the lifestyle of bees. In honor of World Bee Day, I’d love to bless someone with a copy of “Ebenezer the Claustrophobic Bee”.

Emotions and thoughts are powerful things.🔥 I’m reading a book right now (written by a medical doctor) about the physiological consequences of even low grade chronic fear (most often manifesting as stress and anxiety)…. and the difference between “true” fear (a bear is about to eat me), and “false” fear (all those things we tell ourselves in our head). The body cannot differentiate between the two types, so it acts the same.

The same thing holds true for other destructive emotions and thought patterns that tend to grip us humans (and animals too!). 

Oh but oils can’t help with that. Really?? Have you tried? Really tried? Retraining your brain is like working to repair a deeply worn path in the ground. Not only do you have to forge a new path ( thought process), you also will need to fill in the dirt…. plant new plants…. and make a concerted effort to let that old path heal without returning to it. It takes work! 

The brain is a powerful piece of machinery, and our essential oils are a powerful tool to help get the job done… the amygdala / limbic system in the brain is  more powerful than you can imagine (especially when given the right support tools! )
…… all good things take time and effort, and YOU are a good human!…. very worth the time and effort to train your brain to stop doing whatever is holding you back! 
Notice anything interesting about this graphic? Yep! All these helper oil blends are free😍 this month as a gift with qualifying purchase❤.

When I was really young, I didn’t understand Good Friday. It seemed just the opposite to me. Someone we loved was beaten and cut, spit upon, jeered at, and nailed to a cross. The day was a very dark day for humanity. But here’s the thing: What man uses for evil, God uses for good…… and that’s where the Goodness of Good Friday comes in. It wasn’t the end, it was just the beginning of what was to come for all of us who believe.
Blessed Good Friday friends!
