Just Bee (poem)

Who is that bee who fell on my lap?
Just like a tree - stable it sat.

Should I be scared?
Should I move away?

The word is that bees sting if they stay.

If I enable it - it will die.
Should I play God and keep it alive?

I know it will hurt, but so much joy it might bring.
Sweeter than honey - those marvelous wings.

Today -  I'll let it fly.

The Face of a Man (poem)

The face of a man is not an exact reflection of who he is,
but rather a map of where he's been.

The lines. The color. The marks.
So tendered. So perfect.

He looks, but his feet stay firmly planted.
He knows that the journey runs greatest through his heart.

My Observation Balcony (poem)

How did I end up on this balcony?

All the water's rushing beneath me.
All the sun's shining above me.

No resemblance of man.
Only empty chairs and leftover puddles of water.

Is it a sign?

Indentation's in the seats of women who sat before me.
Now tailored perfect to my behind.

The sun's beating down harder and I start to sweat.
It's soon to evaporate the puddle of water.

Will it rain again?

I hope it waits 'till I've had time to travel to the water.

Apple Cider Vinegar remedies for you and your pets!

Apple Cider Benefits!

For decades, people have been using apple cider vinegar for home remedies. It claims it can help cure anything from joint pain to keeping flees off your dogs. 

I decided to test it on my precious puggies first. After all, it's not going to hurt either one of us, but no one will care if they stink for a day. Believe it or not, it really didn't stink much beyond the initial spray. Best part - it seems to be working!!! It's been about 3 months now.  And that sure beats the hell out of spending hundreds of dollar bills in the summer time to keep fleas off. Hell, it beats spending hundreds of dollars anytime!! The stuff is $3. Now keep in mind, you always should give them heart worm medicine (totally different!). 

Currently, I'm mixing about 1/4 cup ACV (organic, with the mother) with an equal amount of water and spraying it on my dogs anytime I think about it.

So after my successful puggie cider adventure, I decided to take the plunge myself...hmmm... how could this benefit me? Well, believe it or not, I went to Ulta searching for a detox bath of some sort, and two women told me to go to the market and get ACV! They said it was the BEST option, and none of their stuff would really "do" anything like that. Ironic? I don't think so. I'm not saying I think God wants me to be getting drunk on ACV, but who knows - maybe she does. ;)

I've begun taking a swig every day to not only detoxify my inner self, but I feel that it helps bring clarity and aliveness to my day when I'm feeling a little lethargic. 

I went to Newflower shortly after the Ulta experience and the helper there told me she takes a swig of it for migraines!!! Apparently, the list goes on for this little miracle juice.

Basically, if someone tells me that crystals will cure diarrhea, I'm going to squeeze the crystal as hard as I can, or sit on it, ok. Anything natural & inexpensive is worth trying (in my opinion!) these days. Sometimes when I write, "in my opinion" I wonder who else it would be... ?

I posted a link above, but there are tons if you just google "apple cider vinegar benefits."

Good luck & Happy consuming!
