Tuesday, May 1, 2007 - Breakfast This Morning

Yes, I've been remiss in blogging here! If you need a reason, check this out.  Maybe having multiple blogs isn't a good idea. I still haven't found a balance yet. This one is supposed to be my business blog with a personal touch. 

So just to ensure my friends continue to visit this blog, I'll post what I had for breakfast this morning.

I recall reading a title of a book on blogging (which I didn't get, evidently) that went No One Wants to Know What You Had for Dinner or something like that. Actually, I'm quite interested what others have for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between, especially if they include photos. I'm just interested in food, lol.

So this morning, after I made my breakfast, I thought I should take a photo shot of it.

So here it is.

And What's That?

It's a slice of honey wheat bread spread with miso. Then I piled it with the alfalfa sprouts and tomato slices. See the greenish black stuff the open sandwich was sitting on? That's a sheet of nori or seaweed. I use that wonderful stuff to wrap everything. How else can I prevent the alfalfa sprouts from spilling all over me? On retrospect, I should have had a few slices of raw garlic. I LOVE that stuff. (I know some of you will drool over my concoction; the rest of you will wonder “What's she eating? Yucks!”).

So I had that and hot green tea for breakfast. I also had a tablespoon of organic peanut butter after that. Yummy. I can have this breakfast every day.

I must say that an hour before that wonderful Japanese-flavored repast, I had a tall glass of greens. I make that for my husband before he goes to work each morning nd I have that as well. Very rejuvenating and cleansing.

By the way, the automatic sprouter my husband got me for Christmas is one of the best investments of 2006! I get to eat healthful sprouts almost daily; and I get to give containers of sprouts away to friends and my mother-in-law too. And guess what, Berrysong WILL be selling these automatic sprouters soon! Look out for more news.

Have a wonderful day, all.

Monday, March 5, 2007 - Great News for Growers!

I was so thrilled when Nancy Carter shared in her personal blog as well as on the Front Porch the testimony of Jim Little, and how a Berrysong product has helped him as a citrus rancher. Read it for yourself! :)

I just want to clairfy that Jim Little conducted the Brix test himself and so it's not an official one. I understand that many growers purchase their own testing equipment to save the repeated costs of expensive testing. He also advised that the official temperature, as reported by the local news media, was 27 degrees Farenheit when those pictures were taken.

Growers use the Bio-Wash 1227 for a variety of reasons. They use it to wash away toxic pesticide residue, dust, oil, etc. Some have actually claimed that it helps produce healthy, faster growing plants and, happily insects and diseases seem to avoid healthy plants. Until we get EPA approval, we cannot make that claim.

As to how Jim Little did it, he applied 1st EnviroSafety Bio-Wash 1227 generously in late March or in early April, and again in early November. He soaked his tree trunks and limbs and both top and bottom of the leaves, allowing plenty to soak into the ground.

Other wonderful examples:

Mike Vaughan, Miami, Florida, experimented on one of his mango trees. On the advice of Mango Specialist Bob Murray, Owner, Tree House Farms, Mike sprayed his trees weekly. He started in January and sprayed all through the growing season. Like Jim Little, he soaked the trunk, limbs, leaves and fruit, allowing enough surplus to soak the roots.

Mike's mango yield soared from several dozen mangos per tree per season to an estimated 1,000 large mangos. Mike's mangos were so strong and healthy, they were disease free. It was an amazing claim so I asked for verification and fortunately, Mike had photographs of his trees and his neighbor's untreated ones. .

Mike had no freeze problem in Miami, but his fruit survived several wind storms that blew away the fruit on other grower's trees.

Many growers have reported huge increases in vibrant plant growth, food crop yields and health. Bob Murray credits it with saving his fruit tree nursery business from bankruptcy. A grower for Campbell Soup Inc. reported extra yields of peppers and tomatoes.

Wow! I personally have not used the Bio-Wash 1227 as my concentration has been keeping a toxic-free home. Now that I have four 4X4 square foot gardens, I'm going to try the product I'm selling, LOL.

Wednesday, February 28, 2007 - Thank You and Valuable Statistics

Berrysong Website

What a nice welcome I had from everyone. Thank you so much!

Today I thought I could share some statistics with you:

Did you know that:

• The average American home has 3-10 gallons of hazardous materials.
  (Source: Children's Health Environmental Coalition)

• Women who work at home have a 55% greater chance of developing cancer than women who spend the majority of their time outside of the home.
  (Source: Toronto Indoor Air Commission)

• The U.S. government has not conducted even basic toxicity testing for about 75 percent of the 15,000 high volume chemicals in commercial use. More than 90 percent of these high volume chemicals have not been tested for health effects on children.
  (Source: Children's Health Environmental Coalition)

• In 1999, 2.1 million human poisonings were reported to the poison control centers in the United States. More than 50 percent of the cases involved children under the age of five.

Monday, February 26, 2007 - Contentment

Are you constantly comparing yourself with others? Your favorite author? Your best friend? Your neighbor? Your sister? Your pastor's wife? You sister-in-law? That successful homeschooling mom in your co-op?

Well, don't!

Learn to be content.

When we start comparing, we allow negative emotions to take over. And negative emotions are toxic. They discourage us. They depress us. They hurt us and our physician well-being. They hurt our Christian witness too.

So today rejoice in your uniqueness! Embrace your individuality!

You are wonderfully and fearfully made.  No need to compare yourself with anyone. Let the Lord use you and shine through you!

Today.

Sunday, February 25, 2007 - New Here!

For a start, do visit my Berrysong website. Then I hope you will mark me as a friend as I have planned lots of interesting tips on cleaning, organizing, healthy cooking and eating for you. I will also share ways we can all live a more natural and less toxic life. This includes not just our lifestyle but also our mindset, heart-life and relationships. There is no point trying to live on pure air, water and food, wear organic clothes and use only organic products if our hearts and minds are toxic!
