I am truly blessed and receiving all your truths on as deep a level as I am capable.<br /><br />Vegaia, thank you for writing so passionately about human on animal violence and the unconsciousness with which so many of us approach our food. This is just the type of dialog I hope to foster with this blog. I am heartened that so many people around the world are addressing this problem and finding solutions. I'll continue to speak out on those issues here and elsewhere, as well as to continue to raise my own consciousness. Thank you for sharing the links to the videos.<br /><br />Wanda, I so agree with you. Many of the health problems we face today have to do with the way our food is grown, harvested and processed. Anecdotally, my grandparents routinely filled their breakfast table with platters of bacon, sausage, chicken, and eggs--all from animals they named, raised and butchered themselves--accompanied by heaps of fried potatoes, large slabs of homemade bread, and carefully pressed bricks of freshly churned butter. They both lived nearly to 100, having experienced little or no exposure to pesticides, herbicides or factory-farmed food. My dear papa, who could work circles around an ox, was not so fortunate and died much younger of cancer and heart disease. My mother is convinced his genes would have given him a long life had he not been exposed in the fifties and sixties to enormous quantities of fertilizer, pesticides and herbicides our government then deemed safe.<br /><br />Sharon, yes, let us tell our stories of receiving throughout the year. I look forward to yours.<br /><br />Paul, thank you so much for checking in. Your blog is full of inspiration that keeps me going and lights the path to Ordinary.<br /><br />Pamela, I'm following through with my doctor to learn what caused the problem. Tests and more tests, and I'm taking steps to be more conscious of the needs of my body than I have been in recent years--working to reclaim the more healthful habits of my youth. Perhaps sometime you will share with us your journey with your 2009-2010 focus word.<br /><br />Hayden, yes, Ma'am, I certainly did. I'm paying attention now.graceonlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600679221472546269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7571714765362039648.post-92052337066420153452010-01-24T17:44:45.879-08:002010-01-24T17:44:45.879-08:00What a fascinating process and healing you receive...What a fascinating process and healing you received! Sometimes it takes a huge thunk on the head with a 2X4 to be able to truly receive.

Of course, you are receiving more, but what, where and how specifically are you doing for you? I look forward to hearing how you nurture yourself!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765066456547855854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7571714765362039648.post-48580290713283153812010-01-22T15:47:14.779-08:002010-01-22T15:47:14.779-08:00Kathryn, I'm happy to hear your crisis is endi...Kathryn, I'm happy to hear your crisis is ending well.

Receiving is still somewhat difficult. Must be a generation thing, as many women in our age range are imbalanced in this way. <br /><br />I love your description of your medical crisis, how the ease of your telling reveals the happy ending before I even get there. You are a lucky woman indeed, and you deserve it!Laughing Doodle 2022https://www.blogger.com/profile/18147973806343659342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7571714765362039648.post-39008871949246279462010-01-22T08:07:10.291-08:002010-01-22T08:07:10.291-08:00Kathryn--I am so glad you are okay!

And I love it that your arteries are so clean and clear and your heart so healthy--even with butter and eggs! I use them liberally, too. It is not those foods that are the problem I believe, but the way foods are processed and turned into non-foods. The non-organic, etc. Same with eating red meat. It it not red meat that is the problem, but the way it is processed and turned into...something other than food.<br /><br />I hope you receive something good every day.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654451878235512846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7571714765362039648.post-21255213527695212072010-01-22T06:29:17.225-08:002010-01-22T06:29:17.225-08:00Aren’t humans amazing?

They kill wildlife - birds, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice and foxes by the million in order to protect their domestic animals and their feed.<br /> <br />Then they kill domestic animals by the billion and eat them. This in turn kills people by the million, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - - health conditions like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and cancer.<br /> <br />So then humans spend billions of dollars torturing and killing millions of more animals to look for cures for these diseases.<br /> <br />Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals.<br /> <br />Meanwhile, few people recognize the absurdity of humans, who kill so easily and violently, and once a year send out cards praying for "Peace on Earth."<br /><br /> <br />~Revised Preface to Old MacDonald’s Factory Farm by C.
