Monsanto Mafia Go After Dr. Oz, Where Focus on the Family Went Wrong, 26 Things You Don’t Know About George, and More!

Good morning everyone.  🙂

Well friends, I do believe I've taken ‘fuddy duddy' to a new level.  We had a gorgeous weekend here so I was out running/walking.  When I run I want my music, but when I walk I want to fiddle around with my phone, find good podcasts, plan my schedule, etc., SO I might need to make the switch to bifocal contacts because… I've started having to take my reading glasses with me when I exercise so I can SEE my phone.  Pretty pathetic, eh?  It paid off though because I heard a really interesting podcast by Father Michael Schmitz about picking one thing to change today that will help you be the person you want to end up being at the end of your life.  He was saying that it's too bad we're all on electronics more we ever have been (and he asked, “Anyone ever panic when you're in the bathroom and realize you forgot your phone?  Yeah, me either.” Haaa!), because doing so impedes the part of our brain, in our frontal lobe, that help us to prioritize our time and our lives!  Interesting, huh?  Maybe that's my problem…!

Here's else what I've found for you this week…

• PLEASE help me to spread the word, share this on FB, and local readers, please tell all your friends!  Nourishing Ways of West Michigan, our local WAPF chapter, is sponsoring a screening for the film: Trace Amounts: Autism, Mercury, and the Hidden Truth.  We have 23 days to get enough ticket reservations or we will lose our opportunity to show the movie at the theater. It's scheduled for Thursday, May 21 at 7:30 at Celebration Cinema North (where you can pay extra for REAL butter by the way!).  We need 50 more ticket reservations to make it happen. CLICK HERE to reserve your spot!  Credit cards will only be charged if and when enough reservations are placed.  Here's the trailer:

• I have always LOVED Focus on the Family ministries.  They were a huge part in healing our marriage over 20 years ago now (follow that link for the story) and they're still who I call when I need the perfect resource to help a hurting friend or loved one.  But wow, they drive me crazy when they end up on the wrong side of an issue.  I loved this article in response to their stance on vaccines!!!

• I'm trying this recipe from Katie!  Parsnip Fries with Harissa Mayo.  She talks about tallow and where she gets it, but I still like my source for beef tallow better (less expensive).  I am excited about a new brand of mayo she mentioned there, though!  Until now I've only been able to recommend either homemade mayo, which is so simple you may as well do that to save the money, or this WFN brand, those were the only options.  But now you could try this mayo, too, with all good ingredients!  (Don't ask me why they don't sell it on its own, and it's only packaged with another item.  They're all good products, though, so it would be worth it to pick one of those that you use.)

• George is an online friend and I wanted to share his story, which will bring up a whole range of emotions inside of you:  26 Things You Probably Don't Know About Me.

• Check out what this Dad did for his son with Downs Syndrome, he made him FLY!  🙂

• The Monsanto Mafia Go After Dr. Oz

• From Donielle:  Natural Ways to Alleviate Period Pain
