I used to have asthma, I used an inhaler on a daily basis, but now I am asthma free… unless I clean with ammonia, or use cascade dish detergent or windex,,, hmmmm… DID YOU KNOW– of the 17,000 chemicals that appear in common household products, only 30% have been adequately tested for their negative effects on our health, less than 10% have been tested for their effect on the nervous system, and nothing is known about the combined effects of these chemicals when mixed within our bodies. Maybe , just maybe that is why the cancer incident rate which was about one in 50 at the turn-of-the-century is now one in three with women and one in two with men. WHEN IT COMES TO CANCER…WHY TAKE A CHANCE?? Since 1975, Children’s Cancer have increased by 20%. Breast Cancer incidence increased by 40% between 1973 and 1998. We lack the basic information about the Chemical content and the Risk of most products we buy. Labeling Laws need to be Changed. WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO BE TOXICOLOGIST TO SHOP SAFETY FOR OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILY!!! SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT??????

People say that “when the next big thing comes”, like marriage, new job, new baby, more money, getting your drivers permit, or a new girlfriend I will change. I’ve learned my mind, my body, my house is where the change needs to begin. This is true happiness.

This is my son and grandson. This is just so precious and brings a smile to my face every time I look at this picture. I remember the day that Chace knew he was a cowboy for life. With a ruptured spleen sitting on a saddle in the yard, roping a dummy. He is a cowboy through and through and a good one. He is a role model to young cowboys all over the country. But most of all he is an amazing dad and husband. That is what brings me the most happiness. Little boys growing up to be just like him. The perfect legacy.

A sweet young friend of mine is such an example of reacting in such a mature manner. When she is around someone who is negative, rude, or disrespectful she removes herself from the situation. She is more comfortable being alone then around obnoxious rude people. Thank you for your example of not reacting, but acting.
