The Magical and the Mundane

Small children are fascinated with the stuff that comes out of their own bodies—things like "poopie" that we find mundane and a little disgusting. To the child, though, that poopie is his own creation—one of the countless many things that he will create in his lifetime—and he values it as much as any success he may create when he's older.

There is much we can learn from this. Each thing that we create is marvelous—not just the painting or the book or the job or the healing, but also the food on the table, the working indoor plumbing, and the clean, orderly house. Every thing, every element, every relationship and situation in your life is equally marvelous as it represents all the people and energies who came together to create it. Regard all your creations with equal awe and gratitude. Let every creation be magical and also mundane.

Rough Winter Skin? There's a Quick Fix in Your Kitchen!

To slough away dry, chapped skin on your hands:
  1. Go to your kitchen, grab white sugar and a bottle of oil (olive, grapeseed, coconut, etc.) and bring them over to your sink.
  2. Working over the sink, scoop  about 1/4 cup of sugar into one hand, then pour a little oil over it. (There's no exact ratio needed here;  start with less oil and add more if you prefer.)
  3. Mix the oil and sugar together between your palms to form a gritty paste.
  4. Rub the paste all over both hands, front and back, paying special attention to knuckles and any other areas that are extra dry. A circular motion is especially effective.
  5. When you're done, rinse and dry.
The sugar removes dead skin; the oil moisturizes. You can use salt instead of sugar, although that may sting on cracked skin.

To make a body scrub, increase the recipe and use in the shower. For a scented scrub, add a few drops of extract or essential oil. And for safety, be sure to wash the oil off the floor of the shower when you're done.

A Free World - a Law of Attraction Quote

See this world as a free world, and see everyone in it as trying—through their individual experiences—to find their way back to that calling, back to that Source Energy. And even though there are billions of them going about it in a way that is different than you would choose, there's no right or wrong way. In other words, bless them all, and get on with the only thing you have any power about, which is opening or closing your vortex to your natural state of Well-Being.
