BRAIN FOOD ESSENTIALS
Fuel for the brain
BRAIN BENEFITING SOURCES:
ALPHA-LIPOIC ACID: A small and powerful molecule enters the brain to protect it from free radical damage. Alphalipoic acid activates glutathione — the most powerful antioxidant in our cells — which stimulates the ability of each to absorb free radicals, thereby neutralizing their negative effects.

The Peace of Wild Things
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with the forethought
of grief. I come into the presence...

TWO KINDS of Intelligence by: Rumi
There are two kinds of intelligence: one acquired, as a child in school memorizes facts and concepts from books and from what the teacher says, collecting information from the traditional sciences as well as from the new sciences.

The ‘creative pause’ is defined as the time interval which begins when the thinker interrupts conscious preoccupation with an unsolved problem, and ends when the solution to the problem unexpectedly appears in consciousness. (“The Creative Pause”, 1967)

“Whenever we need to make a very important decision it is best to trust our instincts, because reason usually tries to remove us from our dream, saying that the time is not yet right. Reason is afraid of defeat, but intuition enjoys life and its challenges.” — Paulo Coelho
“When you begin to touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you begin to discover that it’s bottomless, that it doesn’t have any resolution, that this heart is huge, vast, and limitless. You begin to discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, as well as how much space.” — Pema Chodron

Secret #44 Air repair for "take care, anywhere...
Airplanes are the enemy of the skin. You can’t escape the recycled air, the neighborly hacking, sneezes and cramped quarters. What’s a girl to do 30,000 ft in the air?
I just order my second packet of Air Repair. I used all the products this summer while traveling to Scotland and Ireland and my skin was never dry or broken out. I kept it in my purse for long car rides so I could...

Visibility
The sky was patient today.
Streams of milky mist lingering lazily.
Fastidious fractions of blue appearing as a quiet reminder.
A gust of unexpected warmth surrendered like an unfinished sonnet.
Shadows sharing the light as they dance on trees.
How patient is your sky?
Jacqueline M. Cohen

The grouches pull you down. 3.Keep learning. ! Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. ‘An idle mind is the devil’s...
Secret # 40 TRIPLE OXYGEN INSTANT ENERGIZING MASK...
Before I went to Miami last Friday, I secured an appointment to be scrubbed and colored at Bliss. Due to my fair complexion and past solarized burns, it is imperative that I am lathered in 50SPF , wearing a hat that competes with my arm span and a sarong that covers my toes. My friend Kelly informed me about the scrub and color so that I could prance around looking like a golden Goddess for 48...

The Teachings Of Don Juan: Does this Path have a...
Look at every path closely and deliberately. Does this path have heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn’t.
One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you.
A path without heart is never...
