Yesterday's 8 mile hike was incredible. What a memory! The wind was energetic and gave enormous energy. We had figured it was about 60 mph, but after reading this article it might have been more. We literally felt like we were flying in some parts of our hike. After the hike we cooked organic food in the parking lot and drank shots of fire cider (non-alcoholic drink that is made with apple cider vinegar, horseradish, garlic, cayenne, onions, ginger and ginseng). At 6:00 pm we were all standing in the parking lot watching the trees stand against the wind or should I say sway as we drank High Vitamin C Tea. Capelook Out was the last hike in our Winter Series Hikes and it was a memorable for all that came. Next up the Spring Hikes

Achievements don't have to be ones that were created with greed...Life is an adventure.  Depending on what the adventure is depends on the choices we make. 

Contemplation of the past can aid you in making positive productive choices for the future.  Your choices affect all either positive or negative. 

Life is a a series of paths leading toward your goals, you must navigate this adventure called the ever-living "Road Of Life"  Trace in your mind the choices you've made.  Did you make these choices with the thoughts of light, peace and harmony?  It takes courage to make choices  to do what is right with  light, peace and harmony.  Did your path give your success to your goals but caused disharmony amongst many?  Was the path a path of guiding light of love and peace?

OR 

Did your path fill you with  success, a greedy heart that hoards and controls?

The Adventures of life for a happy heart, soul and spirit require you to think about the chains of consequence

Trace the threads of consequences in your life.  If you followed the adventurous path of disharmony then the impact of the decisions you made will affect ALL, including your heart soul and spirit.  Success from greed gives darkness to ones heart, soul and spirit.   Success from greed, gives a fake happiness and that fake happiness hides the nagging unhappiness that is  an empty spot inside you and will haunt  you forever even on your death bed, unless it is resolved.   

The impact that you made from disharmony, deceit, greed and lies will ripple around every action that was made based on the the decision you took. 

For your heart, soul and spirit it is important to resolve such actions that affected others in a negative  way.  It is time to take the adventurous path of harmony, light and peace.  It will ripple around others in a positive way.  

It only takes one step down this positive path to heal what karma you have attracted and to build courage to keep on moving.   What you don't want is to create an empty spot, this empty spot  will run you into a fatigued unhappy self, lost in a desert of voices that haunt you, saying take more, take more.  

It is up to you to end a corrupt situation that was created by you and turn it into a peaceful one.  This will fill your heart with joy, it will give your soul and spirit the love that it needs and heal it,  Therefore you will not be running a never ending race to nowhere but Hell....

Achievements do not have to be ones that were created with greed, it was never yours to begin with.  

Be the one bud flowering, in its own time.

This message is to all the corporate greedy people, the evil politicians,  the workers of Monsanto, the selfish people out there, the ones that hoard, the bullies out there,  it is time to stop. Not just for us, but for you to.  

This is my families discussion on what Shire City Herbals(Brian, Dana and Amy) have done ( click on link below). So far they are showing no respect, and their hearts hold on to corporate greed. I can only hope their hearts purge the greediness that they carry. No I will not feel bad if we as a community close down their business. However, if they realize what they did, which is something very bad, apologize and drop the trademark, then I will wish them success. I will be making a video daily about this subject until it is dropped. There is a reason I did not die 4 weeks ago, it was not my time. I still had unfinished business, otherwise I would not be here. I a am female warrior who will fight for freedom. Those who threaten the old heritage of herbalism and try to make it a corporate item, I will not let happen. My heart carries the old ways of healing and I will do everything I can to protect this.

I have had enough of the corporate greed that goes on in America.  I have had enough with Monsanto and all these food companies trying to take control of everything.  For me this is the last straw.  Herbalism and healing foods have been a part of my life.  My battle is to protect herbs and plants.   I am now in a fight, and in this fight I need to have a strategy, a back door ( ninja warrior skills),  the patience of a cougar, the mind of an elephant and the trickiness of a coyote.  This battle requires patience.  

This is not a physical threat. My statement reflects that I will doing everything I can, push boycotts, flood the internet, send them letters that are peaceful etc.  

Isn't it time to stop the greed that is going on in America?

This is a perfect remedy for someone who needs a fiery kick to his or her immune system. A blend of spicy and sweet flavors were combined to enhance your circulatory and digestive system. Will come in handy for those cold months when you’re prone to sinus infections, or when you feel cold coming on.

Take cider when you feel a sinus or congestion coming on. Take fire cider in small amounts to
boost your immune system. Take in small amounts to defeat constipation.

The first recipe I made a it for my husband Joseph.  He has a hard time with spicy stuff, so this one is the milder version ( I think lol )
