Haiti ~ Our Hearts and Thoughts are With You














As the people of Haiti try to endure and survive the horrific trauma that has fallen their tiny nation, a small film crew has set out to share their stories with the world. I have been following the Inside Disaster blog since I stumbled upon it last week. Their selfless efforts, emotion, and humanity has captivated many in a way that the evening news has not.

Please watch Nico's video "Asking the Earth to Be Still", sung at night by the survivors at camp Carefour des Brosses, a camp situated out of town, of 3,500 people who still have not received aid. Hopefully Nico's video will find them help soon...

Passionflower & Valerian - Essentials for your home


Hello and Happy New Year!

How many of you blog-readers watch Dr. Oz? On a recent show, Dr. Oz talks about stress and weight gain. Passionflower tincture is 1 of the solutions he presents to his attentive audience: when we are stressed, the brain releases a chemical that goes to the Adrenal Glands. The Adrenal Glands in turn excrete steroids that go into your stomach fat and actually make it larger. Passionflower has been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety thus breaking this stress cycle. You can watch this segment of Dr. Oz's show here: http://tinyurl.com/y8w875t
