The first article is from Holy Kaw. Pets Are Good for You, mentions a hormone, oxytocin, that is released when we make contact, even eye contact with a pet or friendly animal. The second article is from Psychology Today, Pets Are Good for Us: Where Science and Common Sense Meet.
Although from one family, American Architecture, styles over time bore no resemblance to each other. They seemed unrelated although they all bear the same classification, indigenous architecture.

Ten Buildings That Changed America, A PBS Special
With the exception of the Capitol of Virginia built in Richmond, VA and designed by Thomas Jefferson, each of the other nine buildings represented shows a unique and dramatic shift in style, structure, materials and sense of aesthetics. It is an amazing study.
Online fuel are foods that we can quickly grab out of the frig, freezer or kitchen cabinet. We can heat them in a micro wave; popcorn is the best example. It suffices to say that short of the take out order of pizza or Asian food, online fuel is not the most balanced food program.
Our featured image is courtesy of TechCrunch and their article, Don’t Let Your Company’s Scale Tip Your Bathroom Scale. Just the title pretty well says it all.
Here’s a parable from Instagram that tells the story of how they changed their eating habits and exercise routines after their acquisition by Facebook. Having a billion dollars sure can take of the pressure and desire to consume online fuel while glued to the technological ball and chain for endless hours.
In future posts, we will explore more ways to overcome the online fuel obsession. Decreasing hours chained to a computer may be a different addiction to deal with. So we will focus on one thing at a time.
It also begs these questions. What is prevention? What is treatment? What is unnecessary mutilation? This information filled video gives the holistic perspective on the ramifications of such a severe decision.
Here is an article from People Magazine about her story. It does not go into any medical details or explanations for her decision.
Here is another People Magazine article that sheds no further light on the topic. The only additional information is that she plans to remove her ovaries as well.
This New York Times op-ed piece sheds some light on the story. The piece is written by Angelina Jolie, herself, and explains both her decision and a bit of the process.
The Pink Lotus Breast Center is mentioned as the place where she was treated. I wonder how many of the women who decide to follow her example would have access to such luxurious facilities and care?
A great event held, last night, Thursday, May 20th. Just waiting for the after report photos.

The first known ‘modern’ company to produce flower essences or remedies, part of the vibrational medicine system, was the Bach Flower Company. It was started by Edward Bach in the Uk about 75 years ago. The value of the remedies for healing was based on an inside-out rather than an outside-in disease process. Bach believed that disease starts as dis-ease. If an emotional issue could be dealt with at that level, disease might be avoidable.
His process for identifying which flower was right for which emotional imbalance was never recorded it. There are many other companies that emerged all over the world since then. They were based on Bach’s theory but not his system. No other company or person could corroborate with Bach’s conclusions.
The theory goes something like this. The vibrational ‘personality’ of a flower could be transfered to water when the flower was left on top of water in sunlight. How Bach figured out which flower had what personality is unknown. Fortunately others did uncovered it after much time and experimentation.
Today one can choose from tropical flower essences to Alaskan. They are truly available worldwide. The essences are preserved in alcohol, once the ‘personality’ is imbued into the water. For purposes of storage and then sales, the liquid is transferred to small dropper bottles. The liquid is consumed a few drops at a time over the course of the day. One tends to know when the remedy is no longer necessary by the improvement in emotional state.
VEGAN CHICKEN SOUP
Relief in minutes
Vegan chicken soup in progress. Takes minutes to make, tastes great and works wonders.
Well, my husband woke up sneezing and tired, after a full day of school yesterday. I had to do something to help him feel better. So I went to my mental medicine cabinet of folk remedies.
It is amazing how much money people spend in the drug store for all sorts of patent medicines when the traditional remedies cost pennies and work wonders. Hot water is the base of almost every remedy including the patent, over the counter cold cures.
I filled the tea kettle and let the water get good and hot while I grated some ginger and squeezed some lemon juice from organic lemons. I went to my medicine cabinet (the hand painted on that was my grandmother’s jelly cabinet) to get the echinacea/golden seal drops.
You pretty much have the process of the recipe from my description. Here is a list of the ingredients.
• At least two cups of hot water, good and hot, not necessarily boiling
• 1 inch of fresh (preferably organic) ginger, grated or cut into tiny pieces
• the juice of 1/2 lemon (preferably organic)
• a dropper full of echinacea/goldenseal liquid extract (drops) either with alcohol or alcohol free depending on your preference
By the time the water is good and hot, all the other ingredients are prepared. Drink at least two cups, rest (if possible) stay warm, eat alkaline foods and feel better soon.
