Moment of Silence

 

The events that happened that Friday in Connecticut have horrified us all and left us in shock.  Having a precious 6 year old daughter, I just look at her and can't even imagine what it would be like for her to be gone forever.  Today my blog and Facebook page will be held silent out of respect and love for those lost and those left behind.  Please join me in sending love and support to those who need it most.  If you would like to help the families and community please visit Awesomely Awake to make a financial donation.  Shawn who writes this beautiful blog has put up a lovely post with an easy way to give.  Send spiritually healing support through prayer, meditation or however you connect.

Peace be with you and yours today.  

Hug your babies tight and be grateful for each breath, each day and moment.  

Much love to you.

Natural Living Monday #12

Good Monday Morning! I wanted to start off this week's wonderful blog hop with a little herbal tidbit about one of my favorite herbs to use with kids, roses!  Of course Summer is a wonderful time to collect and use fresh rose petals yet even during the cold of Winter we can enjoy the bounty of roses by using dried petals and fruits (hips).  Roses are great for supporting immunity and lung health.  They bring a ray of happiness to folks feeling sad in the during gloomy months of late Winter.  Plus they are great for crafting with!

Rose Petals and Hips

Rosa spp.

Roses, in their beauty, open the heart and speak of love.  Yet they offer so much more than meets the eye.  The petals are edible and are lovely added to salads, desserts and even made into rose butter.  They also make a tasty tea (use fresh or dried) that I have found to be quite popular with children.  All that deliciousness brings with it immune enhancing properties as well as soothing coolness for the urinary system, nervous system and heart.  The petals ease cold and flu symptoms and lung congestion increasing lung strength and vitality.  Roses are also helpful in cases of pms and fullness in the pelvis.  Emotionally roses sooth broken hearts and aggravated nervous systems.  Rose hips, the fruit of a rose, are very high in Vitamin C.  They make a tasty sweet sour addition to teas and foods helping to prevent infections.  I love to soak the hips in apple juice until they are soft and use them as jam on my kids' PB & J.

Be sure to use organic roses that have not been sprayed!

Roses are often heavily sprayed so be sure to use organic roses.

We are one week away form when Hurricaine Sandy ravaged the East Coast. Many are still without power, worse many have lost their homes. My love and thoughts are with you.

My friend Lauren from Tutus and Tea Parties is setting up an auction to benefit those affected by Sandy. I am swamped at the moment so I am helping her find lots of donors. If you have anything you can donate to raise money for hurricane sandy fill out THIS form for or contact Lauren.

The auction went live on Sunday so check it out HERE but you can still donate items for the auction until Wednesday.
