Grow Lavender

This fragrant herb which is in the mint family is easy to grow and can be found as a feature in almost every home herb garden. It can be found growing all over the world from Africa to Europe. here are around 39 different species of lavenders (Lavandula). It grows best in dry, well drained, sandy or gravelly soil in full sun. For urban gardeners you can also grow it in containers with good drainage.

Sleep Soundly with Aromatherapy

Lavender is a popular scent in the practice of aromatherapy. The relaxing scent is used to soothe headaches and calm nerves. English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is what is used to make most of the essential oils on the market today. The oil is distilled from the oil glands embedded among the tiny flower blooms. It has a sweet, clean scent and can be used in lip balms, salves, perfumes and massage oils. Many people carry or wear small vials of lavender oil and massage into their temple when headaches occur. It is also a cure for jet lag and allows travelers to go to sleep while traveling or changing time zones.

Lavender also has antiseptic properties and can be used to treat minor cuts, scrapes and insect bites. It can be added to skin lotions and massage oils to calm skin inflammation and soothe sore muscles. It can also be found in laundry and cleaning products. In fact it was used in World War I to disinfect hospital floors and walls. Today you can find many all natural cleaning products that contain lavender oil.

Parental Rights

ParentalRights.Org's mission is to protect children by empowering parents through adoption of the Parental Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and by preventing U.S. ratification of the UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC): (1) by securing citizen support for the Parental Rights Amendment; (2) by securing cosponsors for the Parental Rights Amendment in the U.S. House and in the Senate; (3) by encouraging state legislative resolutions in support of the Parental Rights Amendment; (4) by securing sponsors for U.S. Senate Resolution 99 opposing ratification of the CRC. Our team works to preserve the right of every current and future American child to be raised and represented by parents who love them, and not by disconnected government bureaucrats.

Consider this...

"The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. 

Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An 

important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative 

thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will 

change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you 

to stay where they are. Friends that don't help you climb will want you to 

crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that 

don't increase you will eventually decrease you." 

"Never  receive counsel from unproductive people. Never discuss your problems  with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those  who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. Not  everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the  worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person.  Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere. 

With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it. Be careful 

where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life. Wise is the 

person who fortifies his life with the right friendships. If you run with 

wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you 

will learn how to soar to great heights. 

"A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the 

kind of friends he chooses." 

The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you 

closely associate - for the good and the bad. 

Note: Be not mistaken. This is applicable to family as well as friends. 

Yes...do love, appreciate and be thankful for your family, for they will 

always be your family no matter what. Just know that they are human first 

and though they are family to you, they may be a friend to someone else and will fit somewhere in the criteria above."

~by Colin Powell

Marrige

A true wife makes a man’s life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love “turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.” While she clings to him in holy confidence and loving dependence she brings out in him whatever is noblest and richest in his being. She inspires him with courage and earnestness. She beautifies his life. She softens whatever is rude and harsh in his habits or his spirit. She clothes him with the gentler graces of refined and cultured manhood. While she yields to him and never disregards his lightest wish, she is really his queen, ruling his whole life and leading him onward and upward in every proper path. ~Rev.J.R.Miller~
