4 Basic Steps for Food Safety
Each year millions of people get sick from food illnesses which can cause you to feel like you have the flu. Food illnesses can also cause serious health problems, even death. Follow these four steps to help keep you and your family safe.
1. Clean
Always wash your food, hands, counters and cooking tools.
-
Wash hands in warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds. Do this before and after touching food.
-
Wash your cutting boards, dishes, forks, spoons, knives and counter tops with hot soapy water. Do this after working with each food item.
-
Rinse fruits and veggies.
-
Clean the lids on canned goods before opening.
2. Separate (Keep Apart)
Keep raw foods to themselves. Germs can spread from one food to another.
-
Keep raw meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs away from other foods.
-
Do this in your shopping cart, bags, and fridge.
-
Do not reuse marinades used on raw foods unless you bring them to a boil first.
-
Use a special cutting board or plate for raw foods only.
3. Cook
Foods need to get hot and stay hot. Heat kills germs.
4. Chill
Put food in the fridge right away.
-
2-Hour Rule: Put foods in the refrigerator or freezer within 2 hours after cooking or buying from the store. Do this within 1 hour if it is 90 degrees or hotter outside.
-
Never thaw food by merely taking it out of the fridge.
-
Thaw food:
-
In the fridge
-
Under cold water
-
In the microwave
-
Marinate foods in the refrigerator.
Think you have a food illness?
Call your doctor and get medical care right away if you think you have a food illness. Save the food package, can or carton. Then report the problem. Call USDA at 1-888-674-6854 if you think meat, poultry or eggs caused the illness. Call FDA at 1-866-300-4374 for all other foods.
Call your local health department if you think you got sick from food you ate in a restaurant or another food seller.
Anyone can get sick from eating spoiled food. Some people are more likely to get sick from food illnesses.
Some foods are more risky for these people. Talk to your doctor or another health provider about which foods are safe for you to eat.

“Silver Moon Mining” Spell Of Prosperity
Gather the things that you will need:
A Large cauldron, or a big bowl
Enough purified water to fill your cauldron half full
A silver colored coin, (an actual silver coin if you have one)
Hopefully, a large-sized moon that is shining light through a window (or better yet go outside to the place the moon is shining).
It is best to do this on a full moon, or nearly full moon. This is the best time to cast this spell… If clouds are covering the moon it would be best to wait for another night you need the full light of the moon.
First: Set up your very basic altar. A small table near the window (where the moon is shining in) or outside will do just fine. You can even use the ground outside and be closer to the earth. I like the raised effect of the table but that is me. The full light of the moon outside is the best spell casting effect.
After setting up the altar, cast a basic magick circle.
Next, fill your cauldron half full of water and drop your silver coin into it.
You will then need to position the cauldron just right so that the light from the moon shines into the water.
Gently sweep your hands just above the surface, this symbolically gathers the Moon’s silver.
As you do this repeatedly say, “Lovely Lady of the Moon, bring to me your wealth very soon. Fill my hands with your silver and gold. All you give to me, my purse can hold.”
Repeat these steps three times. (Sweeping and speaking.)
When you are finished, pour the water upon the earth. Poor it somewhere close outside your home.
This spell is extremely effective if you BELIEVE, and if you have nothing but good INTENTIONS.
It is very important that you let the spell go after it is cast. Return to your regular life and be open for opportunities for prosperity. There will be plenty.

To become a mother is one of life’s greatest blessings. It is a lifelong event that forever changes you. Becoming a mother changes your heart, your thoughts, and your actions. However, you may soon wish you had a few extra hands.
As a mother, you find that they first tug on your sleeve and later on your heartstrings.

Meditation has been practiced around the world for thousands of years. It is a technique used to quiet the mind and body, and release stress. It can also bring focus and clarity, and often, after meditating, problems that you have been struggling with, miraculously become solved. Meditation has also been known to inspire people to write, and to spur lucrative business ideas, as your subconscious comes to light.
One simple form of meditation requires you to sit in a quiet room, either on a pillow, or cross-legged on the floor, or in a comfortable chair, making sure your spine is straight. It is advised that you use the same place every day. It is also suggested that you personalize your spot, by beautifying it with candles, flowers, and pictures of the people that you love.
The idea is to sit quietly, with your eyes closed, and focus on a point inside of your forehead. Try not to think of anything in particular, but don’t try ‘not’ to think either, allowing your mind to become calm, and peaceful. If you find that your mind is ‘chattering’, don’t try to control it, just let it finish what it is that it is working on, it will eventually quiet down. It is also recommended for beginners to begin with ten to twenty-minute sessions, each day. After a while of doing this, you will start to feel deep relaxation and joy during these sessions.
The first step to this self-hypnosis is to sit in a quiet, comfortable spot, making sure you are facing a wall about eight feet away from you. Pick a spot or object on that wall, and make that spot or object your focal point. Looking at your focal point, begin counting backward from 100, one number for each breath you exhale. As you do this, imagine yourself floating, and feeling very relaxed. You will begin to feel your eyelids getting heavy, and may begin to blink. Let your eyes slowly close, and as you continue to count backward, imagine yourself as limp as a rag-doll, totally relaxed, and floating in a safe and comfortable place. Stop counting, and just float in your space. If any disturbing thoughts should come while in your space, just let them flow out again, and allow yourself to continue to feel safe and relaxed. This technique can help you to cope with stress, and discharge the tension that accumulates during stressful situations.
When you are ready to come out of this self-hypnosis, you can either let yourself drift off to sleep, or you can count from one to three and exit. First, count one, and get yourself ready to exit. At two, take a deep breath, and hold for a few seconds. At three, exhale and open your eyes slowly. As you open your eyes, continue to hold on to that relaxed and comfortable feeling.
You may then want to increase the length of your sessions to thirty minutes, or maybe even an hour. In our highly active lifestyles of today, it is imperative that we include a brief time for meditation in our daily schedule.

Or are other things just really important to you?
The Importance Of Your Mindset In Anything You Do In Life.
Generally speaking, there are two very different approaches to one’s mentality, and the results yielded from either one are usually going to be at opposite ends of the spectrum.
One way of approaching things is known as a “fixed mindset,” and the other is referred to as a “growth mindset,” and overwhelmingly, those with a growth mindset are often more successful in whatever venture in which they choose to participate.
Those with the “fixed mindset” frame of mind tend to feel that their skills, potential, and abilities are pre-determined and are not able to be improved upon, whereas those with the latter mentality are open to the idea that there is always room for improvement if they are willing to work enough at it.
Those in the “fixed” category tend to feel powerless over any ability to manipulate their pre-ordained, possibly genetic skills and talents while those in the growth category are far more optimistic about who is calling the shots concerning their aptitude and competence. There are a few other significant differences concerning these two attitudes toward the concept of mindset and how much control any given person has over their own lives.The primary one being how a person views mistakes or obstacles and the attitude that they foster when the inevitable hindrances arise…
For example, those with a fixed mindset are apt to become easily discouraged by impediments and are far more likely to “throw in the towel”. They panic at the first setback, whereas those with a growth mindset are far more optimistic in their outlook and adopt more of an opportunistic approach to problems, meaning that they “make the best of it” and try to turn negativity into a chance to learn and hopefully grow from whatever hindrance they might encounter.
Given what actually about the two opposite approaches to mindset, clearly the fixed mindset does not leave much room for growth, learning or personal prosperity, while the growth mindset is the healthier, more positive option that is most likely to maximize an individual’s success and subsequent overall happiness in life.
It is also important when discussing this particular topic to consider how our mindset can affect us other than in our ability to grow and prosper and be successful.
For one, there is the knowledge that our mindset can have a significant impact on our health and physical well-being. In that, a person who tends to be discouraged or depressed consistently is far more likely to have that morose mentality suppress their immune system, which in turn means that those with a fixed mindset are more prone to illnesses and tend to take longer to recover from whatever ailment to which their defeated attitude has subjected them.
People with a growth mindset tend to become sick less often and most certainly tend to be happier and healthier.
It is generally agreed upon among psychology and other professional experts on the subject that any person ultimately does have control over which mentality they choose to foster. Meaning that only because someone has been operating with the fixed mindset for any part or all of their lives, this in no way means that they can’t choose to make the transition far more positive growth mindset, no matter what phase of their life they are currently experiencing.
That means that there is hopeful news for those who find themselves stuck in the pessimistic fixed mindset in that their fatalistic attitude toward their accomplishments and success need not be permanent and can always be improved.

A friend of mine sent me this, I think it is an incredible statement of our life’s facts…
On the surface of the Earth exactly now there is war and violence and everything looks horrible. But, simultaneously, something quiet, calm and hidden is happening and certain people are being called by a higher light. A quiet revolution is settling from the inside out. From bottom to top. It is a global operation. A spiritual conspiracy. There are cells from this operation in every nation on the planet.
You will not watch us on TV. Or read about us in newspapers. Or hear our words on radios. We do not seek glory. We do not use uniforms. We arrive in several different shapes and sizes. We have costumes and different colors. Most work anonymously. Silently we work out of the scene. In every culture in the world. In large and small cities, in the mountains and valleys. In the farms, villages, tribes and remote islands.
We might cross paths on the streets. And not realize … We follow in disguise. We are behind the scenes. And we do not care about who wins the gold of the result, and Yes, that the work gets performed. And once in a while, we will cross paths on the streets. We exchange looks of recognition and continue following our path. During the day many are disguised in their normal jobs. But at night behind the scenes, the real work begins.
Some call us an army of consciousness. Slowly we are building a new world. With the power of our hearts and minds. We follow with joy and passion. Our orders reach us from the Central Spiritual Intelligence. We’re throwing soft bombs of love without anyone noticing; poems, Hugs, songs, photos, movies, fond words, meditations and prayers, dances, social activism, websites, blogs, acts of kindness …
We express ourselves in a unique and personal way. With our talents and gifts. Being the change we want to see in the world. This is the force that moves our hearts. We know that this is the only way to accomplish the transformation. We know that with the silence and humbleness we have the power of all oceans together. Our work is slow and meticulous. As in the formation of mountains.
Love will be the religion of the 21st century. Without educational prerequisites. Without ordering an exceptional knowledge for your understanding. Because it is born of the intelligence of the heart. Hidden for eternity in the evolutionary pulse of every human being.
Be the change you want to see happen in the world. Nobody else can make this work for you. We’re recruiting. Perhaps you will join us, maybe you already have.
All are welcome. The door is open.
