Hi Everyone,
Were in a time in our existences where spiritual enlightenment and awareness is abundant.Many people have discovered some gift or another they have and most times they are coming in multiples so we all have choices how to receive our guidance and enlightenment.
When I start a day and find I am not on my path of least resistance,I find myself tripping over my own 2 feet.I have a grand square that gets triggered every now and then and when my days have a string of obstacles I start thinking "my grand square is triggered".Then I over think and start talking to my guides and ask if it's Gods will that this be on my path at this time.The list can go on and on.
I guess I'm back to step one...surrender.All in Gods time...your will Lord not mine.The point is by using our wills sometimes we block that which is directly in front of us.Tomorrows another day :)

Are You Happy?
Hi Everyone,
Stop for 5 minutes and sit down with a nice cup of Joe and stare out the window.Get lost in the sun,clouds,rain,whatever the weather is and float back in your mind to one of the happiest moments in your life.Feel that moment.Live it over again.pretty awesome isn't it.
Now come back into the moment and after feeling that, ask yourself, "Am I Happy"?Be totally truthful with yourself...are you truly happy?Most days,we are too busy with life to even stop and reflect whether were happy or not.Are you travelling the path of least resistance?I would predict,especially with the worlds events and personal events that most of us are experiencing we all would welcome a happier life about now.
For all those who said "yes I'm happy"...great!For those who said "I'm not happy" I want your to try something.Write a list of things that bring you to your happiest state of being.List them and then look at them.Choose just one thing from that list that brings you this great joy and DO IT everyday.Put the list on the fridge and choose a new happy moment everyday.Take the time from your busy schedules and just decide today is the start of treating myself to something that will make life a happy place for me.Sound Dumb?
No,it's not dumb at all.We have forgotten about happiness.As adults we only smile 30 times a day...IF!Children smile over 400 times a day!!! Whats wrong with this picture?I know what your going to say.The stress,pressures worry etc.All excuses.If you have to go back and be a kid again...DO IT.The way you'll see life will change.You will regain a life of abundance.Abundance of love,relationships,energy,patience and surrender.Laugh my friends and make others laugh.The best medicine in the world.

Do You Feel Invisible?
Hi Everyone,
Do you work hard on your Facebook,Myspace or Twitter sites trying to make an impression?Whether your there to share,help add to someones life or working a business promo,we all feel many times that were invisible.Why is that? Let me share with you my bent on it.
Very few people have the ability to tap into the knowledge of mass interest.If you write about a hot topic you'll acquire the traffic that you are looking for and won't feel invisible.There are many search engines for your to locate the hottest topics of the day, week or month.Then set up a blog and start writing about what your thoughts feelings and emotions are about the topic and issues.if you give a different point of view than everyone else and make some common well thought out sense when you write and ad posts,then traffic will grow and they will return.
If you have Google AdSense then it is in your interest to highlight your point of view on these hot topics to get the clicks on your blog or site.Now I'm not saying this is a easy task.It's a lot of hard work doing research then giving your best effort to write your heart out.
I hope this helps you "get noticed".We all have good things to say.It's just finding the way for others to find you.

Part 2 Indoor Pollution...the Facts
Hi Everyone,
Thank you for reading part 1 of indoor pollution.This part 2.I hope this will enlighten everyone to make your house safe for you and your children.
Our homes should have a complete change of air 3 or 4 time a day. New homes are built so air tight that it is impossible to get a complete change of air. We should leave our windows open on each side of our house for better cross ventilation. In Alberta last year accidental poisoning statistics were as follows: Between the ages of:
0 - 4 years 5 - 10 years 11 -19 years 20 and over
11,515 poisonings 1,524 1, 019 7,799
Top three culprits - Household cleaners, bleach and medications. In the USA the #1 cause of accidental poisoning is Dawn Dish washing detergent WHY? Because it is the #1 seller. Tide contains Lye and is the #1 polluter and it is also the #1 seller. Deep Woods Off has an ingredient called DEET. DEET causes seizures in children and adults.
Inert (or inactive) ingredients in products are protected by trade secrets and very dangerous.In the work place Material Safety Data Sheets must accompany any product used. The work place and the outdoors are considered legal environments while the air in homes is not.The ideal rate of humidity is between 35% and 45%. Anything higher causes mold. When we use humidifiers or dehumidifiers with standing water we are encouraging mold growth with the standing water. The ideal temperature in the home is between 68 degrees and 72 degrees, anything higher makes chemicals more active.
When we shower, the hot water combined with the chlorine in the water, can cause major headaches. Using aerosols causes dizziness. Steam from our dryer vents is extremely toxic, because of the chemicals from dryer sheets and residue from laundry soap and bleach.Chemicals used to dry clean clothing are very dangerous and can cause cancer. When you bring dry cleaning home, you should hang it outside for at least 3 days. Dry-cleaning chemicals are the same cancer causing chemicals that are found in mothballs.
There are 4700 chemicals in tobacco smoke. Chemicals from carpets and plastic have been found to cause kidney and liver damage. More products that contain Formaldehyde :Antiperspirants Toothpaste Baggies Floor waxes Wax Paper Mouthwash Tupperware Permanent Press clothing Furniture polishes Money
Some symptoms caused by formaldehyde are: Allergies, cancer, immune system failings and asthma .
Products that contain Phenols :Mouthwash Baking Powder Computers TV Sets. Acne medications Wallpaper Sugar Substitutes .Some symptoms caused by phenols, which are absorbed by lungs, and skin are: (besides being possibly fatal) Caustic burns, kidney and liver damage and hyperactivity "Lysol" is even more dangerous than we thought.
Lysol contains phenols and dioxin (Agent Orange). Fungicides used on fruit trees in the Okanagan, BC and in south-western Ontario have been found to cause babies in both areas being born with no eyes or very tiny eyes.
When using Chlorine, antiseptics or bleach in industrial areas you are required to wear impervious protective clothing, hard hats, boots, gloves, apron or coveralls, chemical goggles or full face shield and use in well ventilated areas.
When using Easy Off make sure all your skin is covered, wear protective clothing, do not breath in and don't get on your enamel, (if this product will hurt the enamel on your stove, can you imagine what it will do to us.)
Air fresheners desensitize the nerves in your nose so you cannot smell.
1970 - NTA's were banned
1980 - Lobbying by Proctor & Gamble brought back the use of NTA's in our products. NTA's mean more suds - more suds mean less clean - more toxic danger!
Studies on the suds in toothpaste found the suds to be laundry soap.
Our immune system is very powerful, like a janitorial system Giving our bodies good nutrition means our body can repair itself and be able to handle what we face in the world.
Household chemicals cause all kinds of symptoms - from cardiovascular problems, panic attacks, anxiety attacks to bed wetting. Eliminating the cause of the environmental illness is more effective and much less expensive than treating the symptom. Prevention - 80% - 90% effective Treatments - 50% - 60% effective What seems to make the most sense?
There you have it.Reference material for this article : By Dr. Joyce M. Woods .
Dr. Joyce Woods worked as a medical/surgical nurse, public health nurse, nurse educator, nursing school administrator, occupational health consultant. She holds Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Arts (Specialist), Master of Education degrees, and has completed her doctoral degree in the area of “Indoor Air Pollution, and ...it's effect on your health" .

Indoor Pollution If this Doesn't Scare you...the Facts
Hi Everyone,
I hope this is and eye opener for lots of the readers that follow this blog.I'm going to talk about indoor pollution and the possible effects it could be having on you and your family.
Begin by thinking of your house as a toxic waste dump.The average home today contains 62 toxic chemicals.More than 72,000 synthetic chemicals have been produced since world war 2.less than 2% of synthetic chemicals have been tested for toxicity,mutagenic,carcinogenic or birth defects.I'm just touch the tip of the iceberg so far.Are you concerned at all,especially with little ones in the house?
The majority of chemicals have never been tested for long term effects.The EPA survey concluded that indoor air was 3 to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air.Another EPA study stated that the toxic chemicals in household cleaners are 3 times more likely to cause cancer than outdoor air.
CMHC reports that houses today are so energy efficient that "outgassing" of chemicals has no where to go, so it builds up inside the home.We spend 90% of our time indoor, and 65% of our time at home. Moms, infants and the elderly spend 90% of their time in the home.
National Cancer Association released results of a 15 year study concluding that women who work in the home are at a 54% higher risk of developing cancer than women who work outside the home. Cancer rates have almost doubled since 1960. Cancer is the Number ONE cause of death for children.There has been a 26% increase in breast cancer since 1982. Breast cancer is the Number ONE killer of women between the ages of 35 and 54. Primary suspects are laundry detergents, household cleaners and pesticides.
There has been a call from the U.S./ Canadian Commission to ban bleach in North America. Bleach is being linked to the rising rates of breast cancer in women, reproductive problems in men and learning and behavioral problems in children. Chemicals get into our body through inhalation, ingestion and absorption.We breathe 10 to 20 thousand liters of air per day.
There are more than 3 million poisonings every year. Household cleaners are the Number ONE cause of poisoning of children. Since 1980, asthma has increased by 600%. The Canadian Lung Association and Asthma Society of Canada identify common household cleaners and cosmetics as triggers. ADD/ADHD are epidemic in schools today. Behavioral problems have long been linked to exposure to toxic chemicals and molds. Use of Ritalin has skyrocketed since 1990. Chemical and environmental sensitivities are known to cause all types of headaches.
Labeling laws do not protect the consumer - they protect big business. The New York Poison Control Center reports that 85% of product warning labels were either inadequate or incorrect for identifying a poison, and for first aid instructions.
Formaldehyde, phenol, benzene, toluene, xylene are found in common household cleaners, cosmetics, beverages, fabrics and cigarette smoke. These chemicals are cancer causing and toxic to the immune system. Chemicals are attracted to, and stored in fatty tissue. The brain is a prime target for these destructive organics because of its high fat content and very rich blood supply.
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health has found more than 2500 chemicals in cosmetics that are toxic, cause tumors, reproductive complications, biological mutations and skin and eye irritations. Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, circulatory disorders, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, and hormonal problems are diseases commonly related to chemical exposure.Pesticides only have to include active ingredients on the labels, even though the inert (inactive) ingredients may account for 99%, many of which are toxic and poisons.
Now if that's not an eye opener then I don't know what is.I will follow with part 2 of this post.If you would like to know how to be toxic free in your home and what products to use,email me at spiritfriendss@gmail.com and I would be happy to provide the information.
