Planet Organic - Guess where I’ve just been?
You have to check the link below. I have been there EVERY day and cannot get enough of it. I have never been to an Organic shop that has so much to offer.
Once upon a time, there were no artificial pesticides or additives. Getting enough food for our children may have been hard at times, but at least we could usually trust what nature provided. As agriculture improved, scarcity became less common. In the twentieth century, the widespread use of artificial fertilizers and synthetic pesticides has helped create unimaginable abundance.
Yet industrialized agriculture has created new problems. Now our food comes from large farms with vast areas of genetically identical crops which need great amounts of fertilizers and pesticides to survive. Over time, these practices deplete the soil, poison our waterways, and lower the nutritional value of our food.
Our children deserve better. By feeding them organic foods, we can give them better nutrition while they’re young and growing, and leave them a healthier planet for the rest of their lives. The care we show now will stay with them forever…read more

I hope that this video gets YOU thinking!!

The Golden Compass - Nicole Kidman
Posted by Viola Woolcott
I am not sure what I expected about this movie. I watched it with my friend last night here in Calgary, Canada. Not sure what to make of it, but I wouldn’t watch it again. Nicole seems to be the ‘nasty’ one again. I did think that ‘little’ Lyra was perfect for the part she was playing.
Here are the first 5 minutes of the fantasie epic. Let me know what you think.

Reaching Your Goals for Healing and Growth
Posted by Viola Woolcott
We are living in times of great change as well as great uncertainty. There is a lot of confusion and unease going on and also the pace we live at has speeded up. Responsibility has increased and the issues we are asked to resolve become increasingly more difficult, which makes huge claims on our resources physically, mentally and also emotionally. The side effects are shown as stress and it can be felt everywhere on our inside and outside.
We demand quick fixes searching for skills and tools of the latest techniques and also training. But in our hearts we know that we seek inner peace and harmony.
We need to find the quiet place inside of ourselves. We need to seek the time to start the journey towards balance between others, ourselves as well as between work and life.
Have you thought about reaching your goals for healing and growth?

Albert and Marilyn embedded together in an illusion. Do you think they have ever met?
Don’t they look similar? Who is who, I wonder?

Ali-G Interviews Posh Spice and David Beckham
Posted by Viola Woolcott
Ali-G Interviews Posh Spice and David Beckham for a fund raise in England.
It appears that Posh and David are embarrassed at times. You got to watch their body language. David hardly gets a word out and Posh even seems to get ‘annoyed’ on a couple of occasions. The things Ali-G gets away with…
Ali-G at his best. It’s HILARIOUS! You got to watch it.

When To and When NOT To
Posted by Viola Woolcott
We all know that action is very important. But do we all know that sometimes ‘inaction’ is important too?
I am sure that we have all experienced moments where we were glad and relieved that we chose not to act.
Is it fate? Is it the Universal force? What drives or guides us when NOT to? What is it that protects us from harm?
Is it intuition or just the wisdom of the experiences we have experienced over the years? Or is it learning from our own mistakes?
We all get caught up in action as well as ‘doing’ rather than ‘being’ and considering a appropriate response is the last thing on our minds and not something that we are doing naturally. It doesn’t come easy to us. Of course, that leaves us with consequences in not getting the things ‘right’ that we want to get ‘right’.
When our ‘buttons’ get pushed, we throw out all common sense. We need to change our patterns in order to get things ‘right’. And to be honest, it is NO secret that in living a ‘hassle-free’ life all we need is the wisdom of knowing when we need NOT to.
