Housework

White wine vinegar and bicarb are really all the basics one needs to clean household surfaces.



immerse citrus peels in vinegar on a sunny window sill for a minimum of 2 weeks before use.  (Be sure to use only the peel, make sure there is no fruit flesh in the mix, as it makes everything sticky!)

I just take what vinegar solution measure I require and leave the peels in the vinegar because my window sill isn't sunny.  But as they get mushy and start to 'fall apart' a bit, strain out these mushy peels and collect in a separate  jar.  When bicarb is added to this it makes a great effervescent scrub to clean more stubborn stains.  

For a great all purpose cleaner: 
dilute 3 or 4 parts water: 1 part citrus vinegar solution in a saved cleaning bottle ~ nice fragrant cleaner :)



 

Easy Bread

equal measures flour and water mixed in a jar, covered with muslin.  1tblsp of each will do :)

feed equal measures each day for 7 days ~ the yeast collected here is referred to as "start"

Then:
1/4 cup 'start'
2 cups white wholewheat flour
1 1/2 cups water (rain, spring, or if not available used boiled water?)
1tsp salt


Allow to stand in a warm space for 16-17hours

Kneed a bit, then put into a baking pot/dish.  In a hot oven for 15-30minutes with lid on, then lid off to crust.

So easy and delicious.  You could also add pesto, or olives, or all kinds of interesting stuff :)

the Truth Will set you Free

but through an oft' dark tunnel One must journey

chains of bondage wrap themselves around your Heart

the fear like a wet blanket that cannot be ignored

but keep pushing forward

give Thanks for the education, and let it go

once you Know you can't unKnow

a Conscious Choice for new Synergies achiev'd

~ take back your Power.  Stand in Faith.

fear not the Responsibility, do not cower

Decision be a key of Cataclysm

Pride of achievements ~ Fiery Encouragement of Love of One

Physical manifest ~ Rock solid Vibration of God's Gifts

Trust of Graceful gusty motions in Acceptance of One

See the quantum ripple ~ in Fluid direction move...

look no more out side of your Self

Accept your part in the kaleidoscope behind, and in front

by example, share the direction of your Path

~

though the Path less travelled seems daunting, lonely 

the Choice is yours, one and only

...to meet your self en route, a treat

a brave and most encouraging feat 

along the Path a process to follow

'n 'jagged little pills to swallow'*

the Path not as lonely as first perceiv'd

to discover we are Free-er than we initially conceiv'd

that we are many, and growing In Frequency

unravelling all the secrecy

by example and request, share the direction of your journey

to widen the Flow to a World of Harmony 

He Is the Love, the Light, the Way
