I'm wanting to share a few new products with you, along with some downloads, recipes and wonderful timely herbal articles. Our world seems to be in such a place of turmoil since the election--voices being heard shouted from the rooftops, shadow sides of our fellow human beings being shown quite clearly. I've started an online Gratitude Journey to help myself stay focused on the positive--and am finding places myself for humor and love to remain a part of our lives. I suggest that each of us begin to or continue to do these important life saving rituals. Prayer, connection with other like minded and some not so like minded individuals will help get us through. Remember our Prayer Warriors out in Standing Rock who are praying for all of us to awaken and choose Peace at this time. Even when it is a struggle.
You can find my own online Gratitude Journal here here
and here If you so choose, start one for yourself. Not just because we have Thanksgiving coming up, or even that Christmas is around the bend. But because the world needs more kindness right now. If it's not a Gratitude Journal...then choose a Random Acts of Kindness Journal...but do something good to balance all of the hatred that is out there. Our own balance is wavering...and we are being given a choice. Time to step up, rise up and allow the truth to be shown for all peoples.
Thank you all once more for being part of our lives and joining us as we celebrate our time here on Mother Earth, Sandy MountainsDreamz Click on a photo and go to our Etsy site!

Now, many of us have broken the dried “wishbone” with another person. The person who gets the “long half” of the bone gets to make their wish. Some of us may even recall that old-fashioned pastime of making wishbone necklaces. To use the wishbone as a weather predictor, here’s how it worked:

11 Reasons you should start collecting Pine Needles... by Sierra Bright Of the many types of conifers native to North America, pines are recognized by their thin, long needles that usually come in bundles of 2-5. But some, like the foxtail pine and bristlecone pine, have very short needles. The fallen needles that cover the ground beneath the trees are mainly used as mulch in gardens, especially where acidity is desired. Pine nuts and the inner bark of pines are considered survival foods; many Indian tribes and even the early European settlers depended on these foods during the harsh winter months when other edibles were scarce. Many species of pines are known to have medicinal properties as well and have been used extensively by Indians for food and medicine. The needles also contributed to their nutrition.

Rosemary and Thyme: Does this Italian Hamlet have a recipe for Long Life?
In and around Acciaroli, Italy, a particularly pungent variety of locally grown rosemary — said to smell 10 times as strong as the norm — is a daily part of the diet. Residents raise and consume their own rabbits. Anchovies hauled in by the town’s fishermen feature prominently on dinner plates. Abundant sunshine and clean air keep people outdoors, swimming at beaches or climbing the steep hills that ripple along the Cilento Coast, south of Naples. Do these environmental factors and food choices — a hyperlocal twist on the Mediterranean diet, which also includes olive oil and fresh vegetables — explain why so many people here, both men and women, live past 90?

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Coffee And Climate Change: In Brazil, A Disaster Is Brewing October 12, 20164:00 PM ET Heard on All Things Considered LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO A worker separates coffee cherries during harvest at a plantation in Brazil's Minas Gerais state. Brazil's coffee exports fell to 2.6 million bags in June, a 12 percent drop from a year ago, according to a report last week by Cecafe, the country's coffee export council.
Coffee lovers, alert! A new report says that the world's coffee supply may be in danger owing to climate change. In the world's biggest coffee-producing nation, Brazil, the effects of warming temperatures are already being felt in some communities.
You can see the effects in places like Naygney Assu's farm, tucked on a quiet hillside in Espirito Santo state in eastern Brazil. Walking over his coffee field is a noisy experience, because it's desiccated. The leaves from the plants are curled up all over the floor, in rust-colored piles. The plants themselves are completely denuded. "We've had no rain since last December," Assu tells me in Portuguese, "and my well dried up. There was nothing we can do, except wait for rain."
