- Increases Blood Flow and Slows the Heart Rate

- Improves Concentration

- Reduces Anxiety & Emotional Distress

- Decreases Muscle Tension and Headaches

- Builds Self-confidence.

It’s easy to Learn Meditation.  Meditation brings inner peace within our Self and it then extends into the world in a positive way by raising your consciousness.  In getting to know yourself and for transformation, meditation is one of the best methods to bring it about.

Meditation is mind relaxation and a natural self healing process in that it relieves stress. Stress, as we know, can wreak havoc on the body.

Here are some tips to Learn Meditation so you can get the Benefits of Meditation:

- Find a location that is quiet and where you will not be distracted or disturbed. You are looking for five to twenty minutes of undisturbed time.

- Silence all telephones and anything else that might distract you.  If you know you have a certain amount of time to meditate you might set a timer—preferably with a soft tone (remember, meditation is gentle healing) so you are not jolted out of your meditation.

- Sit comfortably and quietly with your spine vertically aligned – with your hands placed gently on your thighs. If you aren’t comfortable sitting on the floor in a lotus position (legs bent and crossed), sitting in a chair is as good. Lying down is not the best position as it is easy to fall asleep. The important thing is that you should be as comfortable as possible for five to twenty minutes (your allotted time to meditate).

- Begin to relax by concentrating on relaxing the muscles in your body.  Spend a few seconds with each of these body parts and you will feel the tension leave your body.  Progressively begin with your toes, your feet, your calves, your thighs, your stomach muscles, your chest, your arms and shoulders, your neck, your jaw, your face, your forehead, your ears and eyebrows and the top of your head – allowing each of these areas of your body to relax.

- Continue to breathe throughout this mind relaxation process by breathing deeply and slowly. If any thoughts come into your mind at this time concentrate on relaxing your body.  As a beginner, you may have many thoughts at first.  Let go of the thoughts and do the best that you can to bring your thoughts to inner peace.  You might say to yourself, I am relaxed, I am calm, I am at peace.

- Upon ending your meditation come back into focus slowly.

Get the Health Benefits of Meditation by starting with as little as five minutes and add a few minutes each day until you can meditate for twenty minutes or more.  You can also keep a written log of your meditations.

There is no particular way to meditate that is right or wrong.  Meditating to soft music is also a way to get the Benefits of Meditation.  Getting started and to learn mind relaxation is the most important thing and you can schedule your meditations at a time that works for you.

Adding a few Daily Affirmations to your day will also help you to begin to see positive changes.

“As you sow so shall you reap.” ~◈~ Proverbs

Gulf Oil Spill

“As you sow so shall you reap.” ~◈~ Proverbs

Epistle of Paul to the Galatians:  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. ~◈~ Galatians 6:7

This would be the equivalent of, “What goes around. . . comes around!”

‘As you sow so shall you reap’ is a proverb which means that actions or deeds are repaid in kind.

What shall be reaped from the oil spills? What good will come out of this? How will this affect our Mother Earth.

Can we Save Mother Earth?

And what about the Golden Rule?

All of God’s Kingdoms of the world suffer huge losses from the oil spills.

God does not spare us from all the effects of our wrong actions.  There is reaping from what we sow.

What will the oil companies reap from their negligence? Who’s manning the Ship in these companies?  On second thought — who is manning the ships that create this devastation all over Mother Earth?  Are there people paying attention to what they are doing or is it the Titanic? Will the oil companies help Save Mother Earth?

Below you can see Mr. Seagull doing some reaping himself.  Here is a beautiful Seagull picking food off a store shelf for his survival.  Remarkable!

Is this Seagull Reaping?

Will we be seeing Seagulls moving inland to live in our swimming pools?  No more Seagulls but Poolgulls? Just like the wolves, deer and bears that are driven from their natural habitats — so, too, are sea life creatures forced into areas where they normally would not be.

When the Wolves and Bears come into our communities, we kill them.  What will we do with birds who are forced to eke out a food supply from inside our communities?

Can we Be the change you want to see in the world? Can we change?  Will the oil spills continue?  What are we doing to our Mother Earth and her inhabitants.  That would include me and you — we are her inhabitants– we are the Human Kingdom and of all the Kingdoms we are the only Kingdom responsible for all the Kingdoms.

We Humans are not superior to the other Kingdoms.  We can not live on Mother Earth without them!

What alternative fuel methods can we come up with to replace what is not working?

Your opinion is more than welcomed.

As You Sow so Shall You Reap, Save Mother Earth, oil spills, Be the Change You Want to See in the World,

Saint Francis Praying

“Prayer of Saint Francis” ~ Also known as “The Peace Prayer of Saint Francis”

The Prayer of Saint Francis is a powerful prayer to our Divine Master – God; used everyday it is to be understood as a transformational prayer — a prayer for change.

At the time of the Second World War, and immediately after, this prayer for peace began spreading widely as the The Peace Prayer of St. Francis and over the years has become a popular and powerful prayer all over the world with people of all faiths.

St. Francis was born Francesco Bernardone, to a rich merchant, at Assisi, Italy, in 1181. St. Francis disowned (renounced) his family and founded a religious order establishing principles of poverty and preaching with the intention to take the Church back to its Gospel origins.

In a small village north of Rome, St. Francis of Assisi in Greccio, is said to have created the first Nativity.  In 1223, St. Francis placed in a small cave with some straw, a crib, and a several live animals. This brought villagers to visit the site and to this day continues to attract thousands on The Saint Francis Walk.

At the most popular time of his life, St. Francis died October 3, 1226, at the Portiuncula Chapel near Assisi.  Two years after his death he was canonized (declared a Saint). Hence the founding of the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi where the Florentine painter Giotto painted a series of frescoes depicting many scenes of the life of St. Francis.

Prayer of Saint Francis

LORD, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon,
Where there is doubt, faith,
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light,
And where there is sadness, joy.

DIVINE MASTER, grant that I may not seek
So much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
In pardoning that we are pardoned,
And in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Prayer of St. Francis by Sarah MacLachlan

Change in America

Why “Be the Change You Want to See in the World”? The infamous quote by Ghandi — If NOT you — then WHO will be the change? Can there be change in America? Can we change the world together and make it a better place? I think most of us want to see change in the world.

“You Must Be the Change You Wish to See in the World.” ~◈~Ghandi

What is Change? It is to be or cause to be different.

Changing your life — begins with yourself. Many have gone before us, and Ghandi was one person, and he made a change that affected millions of people.

“Learn to live as you like by no longer living as you dislike.” ~◈~ Bob Proctor

If we all participated in changing some small thing for the better and for someone else besides ourselves we can “Be the Change You Want to See in the World.”

Change happens of its own. The future is in the past before you can take your next breath.

Changes happen every second, so if change is happening every second — why is it so difficult for us to accept change. . . or to be the change?  We are responsible for the changes in our lives by constantly making choices.

Why are you afraid of changing your life? If it’s important to you, consciously choose changing your life and we will see change in America and in the world. Be intentional and consciously choose to grow yourself.

When you change yourself you automatically change the world.  This is a fact!

What we think about, we bring about. Our subconscious mind creates without bias exactly what you are thinking. We are creating today what the future will bring. How you recognize and deal with the changes in your life today creates tomorrow and beyond – spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically.

When a word is spoken out of our mouth that creates change. That word becomes part of the past – that word creates our future. You are changing your life by what you think and speak.

Change in the world begins with each one of us as individuals. Change begins with awareness – of others and of the world around us.

No matter what your current situation is — whether handicapped or able bodied — you can begin at this very moment to change your thinking and Be the Change You Want to See in the World.

-  Be happy for the successes of yourself and of others.
- Laugh more – Laughing heals your soul.
- Smile and be kind to people. – What you do in kindness changes the world. This is a fact.
- Be Grateful.
- Offer to help someone.
- Stop and smell the roses.
- Be kind to plants, animals, and humans.

“Beware the barrenness of a busy life.” ~◈~Socrates

Do and be what you are meant to do and be. Ask yourself “am I seizing opportunities” to grow my soul — to do my part in seeing a better world for all things.

“Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.” ~◈~Albert Camus

“What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.” ~◈~Plutarch

“Your willingness to look at your darkness is what empowers you to change.” ~◈~Iyanla Vanzant

Thankfulness and forgiveness are keys to change. Be thankful for what you have and stop being so stubborn and forgive, release and let go of old hurts. Change your heart.

“You change your life by changing your heart.” ~◈~Max Lucado

“When you’ve seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.” ~◈~ George Harrison

If you would like to share your comments of your experiences with any change you have made I would be honored.

Thank you for being the change. Have a beautiful day!

About your Body

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” ~◈~ Hippocrates

It is about your body – and about the body of your significant other and your children.  What you eat and put into your body is either creating abundance in your body and in your health and therefore in your life or it is not.

But really, what do we have without having our health?  This is a BIG question that many people have never really asked themselves until they are very sick or so overweight or labeled with Depression, Chronic Fatigue, Autism, Asthma, Cancer and the list goes on and on.

“The greatest wealth is health.” ~◈~Virgil

Taking responsibility for our health and for the health of our family is the most important thing we can do while on the planet.  I mean really taking care of our health.  I mean –  it is about your body and creating abundance in your health by eating healthy foods and by taking control of your health by what you put into your beautiful body.

It is as simple as that. And you know what?  It really is simple.  If we just go back to the way people used to eat before there were preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, boxed and manufactured foods.

Eating healthy foods like fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and salads, meats, chicken, turkey, beef, fish, eggs, grains (bread) and brown rice, oatmeal and some dairy — all without preservatives is the best thing we can do for our health.

I was raised on a farm and we ate all these things and occasionally my mother would bake cookies, cakes, or pies; usually on a special occasion. We did have ice cream sometimes from the creamery where they processed milk and milk products — and mom would make homemade ice cream.  My mom would sometimes pop popcorn, grown in our garden. (At Christmas we made molasses popcorn balls –sticky and yummy!) and sometimes we ate Old Dutch potato chips.

We ate everything in moderation.

We were never deprived in eating like this.

I still eat like this.  And I feed my daughter like this.  I also send my daughter to school with a sack lunch, and she has never eaten school lunch food with the exception of several times in grade school.  My daughter never liked it.  In fact, my daughter never liked McDonald’s food.  She is in high school and seems to always have the healthiest lunch, and her friends comment that she’s always eating healthy foods.

“Respect your body. Eat well. Dance forever.” ~◈~ Eliza Gaynor Minden

The warmer months are here and it is BBQ weather.  If you feed your family simply and by eating healthy foods you will teach your children how to love them.  Your family is relying on you to know what is best for them.  (It’s easy to overcook meats and vegetables and it’s important to not overcook and destroy necessary enzymes.)

It starts with YOU!  Remember it is about your body.  Don’t you love being healthy?

“When you have your health, you have everything. When you do not have your health, nothing else matters at all.” ~◈~ Augusten Burroughs

Start saying YES to crunchy vegetables with a fresh dill and yogurt dip (Your kids will go wild over veggies and dip.). Start saying YES to salads using spinach, and lettuce.  Chop carrots, purple onion, cucumbers, tomatoes, and radishes and put them in your salads.  Use salad dressings that are low in sugar.  Our bodies love salads and raw veggies in the warmer months.  Your family will love it!

Isn’t Springtime great! It is in the Spring time when our body naturally wants to and does detox itself.  Spring is a great time for change and to begin eating healthy foods — you will feel the difference.  You will begin creating abundance in your mind, body, and spirit.

Start saying NO to foods with a shelf life of one year.  Start saying NO to canned foods.  Start saying NO to chips doused in chemical flavorings.  Start saying NO to Oreos.

“Lucky Charms are like the vampires of breakfast cereal. They’re magical, they’re delicious, they’re a little bit dangerous and bad for you. They initially make you feel great, but then over time you realize that maybe your relationship with Lucky Charms is just a little bit unhealthy, and you start to think, ‘Maybe I don’t want to be in a long-term relationship with a breakfast cereal that tastes delicious but damages my health.’ But then the Lucky Charms gets all stalker on you and for some reason you kind of like that. It makes you feel special. So yeah, you spend your life with Lucky Charms. That’s awesome. That’s a great way to… get diabetes.” ~◈~ John Green

Start creating abundance in your health.  Once you start eating healthy foods – You will then be able to extinguish all thoughts about even considering bringing those non-healthy foods into your home.

Awaken & Heal Your Soul

Soul Healer

“GOD will heal us and restore us.” ~◈~Malachi 4:2

Every one of us is a Soul Healer. Accept everything as being perfect for the moment – for it is a perfect Holistic Remedy for our Healing. Every situation is a lesson and an opportunity to heal. We have all incarnated knowing what we are here to heal and what our purpose is. We know, but we don’t know. . . it is our own individual awakening to who we really are.

We are here on Mother Earth for a Purpose, and it is for each one of us to find what it is that we need to heal on our own spiritual journey through life and to heal it and to grow in Love. All experiences we have in life are valuable gifts for our growth and learning. Open yourself up to learn from these experiences.

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” ~◈~ Carl Jung

You are a soul healer – I am a soul healer. There are endless opportunities for us to heal our soul. People we come into contact with are helping us to heal, and we are continuously and unknowingly helping other people to heal their soul – daily. There are all kinds of lessons that present themselves every day for us to learn, and if we do not learn from these situations they are repeated over and over for our benefit — until we get them.

It can be very emotional, and enlightening to discover how you relate and to see where you need to heal.

You might be thinking “Oh, brother — repeated over and over until I get it?” Yup, that is the way it is. It’s all about Love.

“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are.” ~◈~Paulo Coelho

“Healing yourself is connected with healing others.” ~◈~Yoko Ono

“Every situation, properly perceived, becomes an opportunity to heal.” ~◈~A course in Miracles

“Holistic approaches operate from a different context of the nature of human consciousness than does traditional medicine, with emphasis on healing rather than treating. And though their connection with the theoretical breakthroughs of recent decades may not appear explicit, the alternate therapies employed by holistic health-care givers, whether physicians, alternative practitioners or lay healers – however widely they differ in their approach and method – all have one common element: all are based on techniques to influence not protoplasm as such, but an energy field which surrounds, courses through and conditions the human body.” ~◈~David R. Hawkins, M.D., PhD.

Healing is an art and a Holistic Remedy is Art from the Heart. Know that there are those of us Soul Healers who are available to assist you in your healing using a Holistic Remedy.

“What you do in the service of others is healing for your soul.” ~◈~Faith Pyka

Positive Affirmations

Daily Affirmations

I am the greatest! ~◈~Muhammad Ali

Our thoughts create our world.  Daily affirmations are a great way to change our thinking from a negative to a positive mind.  Every thought we have had or have creates what we have lived in the past, what we live now, and what we will live in the future whether these thoughts are true or whether we believe them or not.

Our subconscious mind is controlling most of our day.  Some of our ideas and beliefs have come from other people who taught is in our early childhood.

However, the people we learned these beliefs from were not enlightened individuals, and we picked up on these beliefs but they are not benefiting us and can be changed with the help of positive daily affirmations.

In fact, we are constantly thinking thoughts that come to be and these thoughts are not, in many cases, beneficial to our growth.  Stagnation becomes the norm when we are caught in unproductive thought processes that keep us running around on the “hamster wheel of life.”

We have a subconscious mind that is running our life and daily affirmations can change our subconscious mind.

Affirmations Work

Repeating daily affirmations helps to change the programming of the subconscious mind and helps to change the direction of our life by removing the old negative programming that has been sabotaging our life over and over.

Affirmations can and do empower and transform our life in a very big way.  We will develop a more positive mind about ourself and our beliefs about ourself and create more successes in our life on all levels.

We are still masters of our fate. We are still captains of our souls.~◈~ Winston Churchill

Grateful to be in Nature

Attitude of Gratitude

“The single greatest thing you can do to change your life today would be to start being grateful for what you have right now.” ~◈~ Oprah Winfrey

You may have heard some things about attitude gratitude that you have briefly thought about.  Cultivating an attitude of gratitude for the things we have in our lives is being thankful to God for what we have or for the way things are in our life.  In other words, having an attitude gratitude or “Mind of Gratitude” raises your vibration, which attracts more good energy and brings in the things which you desire.

With an “Attitude of Gratitude” we see more abundance in our lives.

It is not a long process to express an attitude of gratitude, and for a few minutes each day you will increase your happiness and health by about 25%.  This is amazingly notable!

Studies show that writing in a gratitude journal and utilizing the practice of having the “attitude gratitude” regularly causes these wonderful side effects:

- Better physical and mental health; will have a better outlook on life and with more optimism.

- You become a better person; friends and family will see you as more generous, more forgiving, and more helpful and accepting of others.

- Inspirational; you will more likely work toward goals, be more alert, enthusiastic, determined and attentive.

- Makes you a better person; your friends will see you as more generous and helpful, you’ll be less envious of others.

- You will sleep better; you will get a more restful sleep and have more energy during the day.

Who wouldn’t want these wonderful side effects with attitude gratitude?

Love & Gratitude

These gratitude quotes say it all:

“Gratitude helps you to grow and expand; gratitude brings joy and laughter into your life and into the lives of all those around you.” ~◈~ Eileen Caddy

“Gratitude isn’t a burdening emotion.” ~◈~ Loretta Young

“Gratitude is when memory is stored in the heart and not in the mind.“ ~◈~ Lionel Hampton

“Gratitude is one of those things that cannot be bought. It must be born with men, or else all the obligations in the world will not create it.” ~◈~ Edward F. Halifax

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” ~◈~ Melody Beattie

“One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.” ~◈~ Carl Jung

“Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.” ~◈~ Aesop

And Now a Little Food for Thought

Bad High Fructose Corn Syrup

We have a sweeter diet than we did in years past.

Would you make a homemade pizza and pour artificial sugar on top of it?  Would you squeeze fresh orange juice and add artificial sugar to it?  Would you mash a banana for your baby and put artificial sugar or bad high fructose corn syrup on it?

Food manufacturers add bad high-fructose corn syrup to things we  would never dream of adding sugar.

Bad high-fructose corn syrup was invented in the early 1970s and was an inexpensive way to sweeten processed foods and beverages. There are no nutrients found in this toxic artificial sugar.

The U.S. Agriculture Department reports that Americans consume more than 60 pounds per person per year — nearly a pound a week.  How can we even question obesity?

Bad high-fructose corn syrup is highly valued by food manufacturers for many reasons, but mainly because it has a long shelf life, and it is cheaper than sugar.

Some say high-fructose corn syrup is a natural product because it is made from corn.  Check this out –when hybridization takes place it also changes the make up of the kernel. So, for example, the hybridization has taken the corn kernel from ¾ protein and ¼ carbohydrate which is how the corn kernel was created by God . . .to ¼ protein and ¾ carbohydrate. It isn’t like the original kernel at all.

If you read food labels, you’ll find high fructose corn syrup in baby food, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, cereal, cookies, pizza, processed luncheon meats, beer, sodas, juices, candy, bread, yogurt, and in most, if not all brands of manufactured boxed foods which number in the thousands.

Fast food restaurant foods use corn products in nearly all items you could order.  Bad high fructose corn syrup is in the bun, the salad dressing and the soft drinks.  Corn is a filler in the meat and is in the breaded fish, and corn oil is used to fry the french fries.

Do we know what food should taste like anymore?  It’s not easy to find food products without a dose of bad high fructose corn syrup. Are we being poisoned? What are we to do?  Shall we continue to rely on food manufacturers to make our foods?

I always loved my mother’s cooking and my grandmother’s cooking.  Do you have any favorite foods that you remember a family member making?   Maybe we need to find their old cook books and do it the old fashioned way!!  Let’s get back to health and go back to what works!

And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.” ~◈~Genesis 1:29

Faith at Mt. Shasta, Spring Equinox, March, 2010

My Snowman, Mt. Shasta, March, 2010

Fluoride Cocktail

What is a fluoride cocktail?  It is impure drinking water with toxic levels of chemicals.  Do we know the importance of pure and clean drinking water?

Shall we drink the water?

We, in California, have Mt. Shasta at the top of our state.  It majestically stands at 14,161 feet.   I just visited this beautiful mountain which is almost completely covered in snow, and the snow at 6,000 feet is over 8’deep.  Mt. Shasta is in the northern part of the state and the water pouring out of the mountain has the cleanest taste you will experience in mountain water.  This water is the best drinking water.  This is what we think of when we read a label that says ‘spring bottled water.’

The headwaters of the Sacramento River begin at Mt. Shasta. The best drinking water is pure, cold, refreshing and flouride-free water, which flows with intensity from this majestic and pristine mountain.

We are not getting this water in its purest form from water suppliers.  We are getting our water as a fluoride cocktail from water distributors who sell us contaminated fluoride cocktail water at a high price — why?  Who knows?  I would like to know why wouldn’t you?

Bottled water companies are not required to notify their customers of contaminants in the water.  They are not required to tell their customers where the water comes from, and they are not required to tell the customer how the water is purified. They are not required to tell the customer if the water is spring water or if the water is tap water.

Even in the city of Mt. Shasta, stores sell bottled fluoride cocktail water just like any other place in the U.S. or in the world?  How could this be, you might ask?  Who knows?

Laboratory tests conducted at one of the country’s leading water quality laboratories found 38 contaminants in ten brands of bottled water purchased from grocery stores and other retailers in nine states and the District of Columbia. The pollutants identified include common urban waste water pollutants like caffeine and pharmaceuticals, an array of cancer-causing byproducts from municipal tap water chlorination, heavy metals and minerals including arsenic and radioactive isotopes, fertilizer residue and a broad range of industrial chemicals and bacteria.

In my opinion, toxic levels are any levels of toxins, and we all drink water and thereby ingest these toxins at toxic levels.  The reason I say this is because it is not acceptable for us to be ingesting toxins.

Toxic levels of anything we ingest affects our brain and every organ and cell in our body.

Is there any water on the market that is “spring bottled water”?

“It’s buyer beware with bottle water,” said Jane Houlihan, Vice President for Research at Environmental Working Group. “The bottled water industry promotes its products as pure and healthy, but our tests show that pollutants in some popular brands match the levels found in some of the nation’s most polluted big city tap water systems. Consumers can’t trust that what’s in the bottle is anything more than processed, pricey tap water.”

The bottled water industry markets their product as somehow safer or more pure than tap water, and it appears to be untrue. Are we paying the water industry to poison our children and us?  How long will we participate in our demise at the hands of the water giants?

The earth is 70.8% water and 29.2% land.  The human body is approximately the same percentages as that of the earth, which is 2/3 water and 1/3 solid mass.  Do we realize that water is more important to our bodies than food?  Do we realize that we are drinking toxic fluoride cocktail water?

Americans paid $12 billion to drink 9 billion gallons of bottled water last year alone. Yet, as Environmental Working Group tests show, several bottled waters have chemicals the same as any standard municipal water treatment — a cocktail of fluoride, chlorine and other disinfectants whose proportions vary only slightly from plant to plant. So that means that bottled water was chemically almost identical to tap water. The major difference — the price tag. The cost of a gallon of bottled water is $3.79 – 1,900 times the cost of a gallon of public tap water – and more than a gallon of gasoline.

With promotions of images of mountain spring waters and prices almost 2,000 times the cost of tap water, we are obviously led to believe that we are buying a product that has been purified to a level beyond the water that comes out of our own faucets.

The residue from fluoride and other petro chemicals releasing from the plastic bottle itself are contaminating our bodies — not to mention the contaminants coming from our water faucets from city water systems that contain fluoride cocktail water plus more chemicals for us to bathe.

Things to think about:

Chemicals:  How many do we want our children and us to ingest and to bathe in?

Think about how much better we would feel and how much better we would think without chemicals in our bodies.

Will we ever have the best drinking water available for us to drink at an affordable price?

“We need to drink water, and as long as we participate in purchasing bottled water, we are supporting the water industry and ensuring their future and not our own.” ~Faith Pyka
