I just want to thank you all for all the prayers, light, love and healing that was sent to my sister and my family. It was a journey for us that ended with Carol’s transition and I feel so humbled to have been with her at her time of transition. Your thoughts and prayers supported us all through this difficult time. I thank you from deep within my heart.

Right now I am trying to play catch-up and re-schedule classes so there will be a shake-up in the previous class listings that you have received. Within the next few days I hope to have the current class offerings on the website. Please note that I am only speaking of the classes I am offering. Everyone else’s classes will remain at the same date and time. So if you have an old class calendar you might want to check the current class listing on the website before registering.

Thank you all again! Blessings upon your hearts,
Jeanne

This past week her beloved dog Deuce died. He has been with Kathy for many years and his presence at Kathy’s resort has been a joy for many people. He was a huge dog—had lots of bear energy. He was like every child’s dream of a huge stuffed animal they could ride! He was a friendly dog with much personality. Please, everyone, send Kathy and her family, and Deuce some love and light. We’re all holding you close Kathy, in our hearts! You may contact Kathy at Kathy@kathydv.com

However, if you are like many people and believe that deodorant and antiperspirants are one in the same, please read on.

Antiperspirants are designed to keep you from sweating. They typically contain aluminum salts which clog, close or block pores so sweat can’t be released. With continued use, aluminum accumulates in the brain and has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease.

On the other hand, deodorants work to kill the bacteria that actually causes body odor. Deodorants allow the body to cool itself through the natural process of sweating. While deodorant is always the preferred choice, what can you do to prevent the embarrassing underarm sweat patches?

Call me lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you look at it!), but I’m one of those people who rarely has underarm odor; however, regardless of the outside temperature, I seem to sweat like I’m continuously running a marathon. Why my body feels the need to continually cool itself is an entirely different matter, but I’ve tried many different concoctions to fight underarm wetness and here are a few of my favorites:

1. Tea Tree Powder: It’s naturally talc-free and keeps me very dry. Just lightly wet your underarms, put some tea tree powder in your palm and pat on to your underarms. The only problem I’ve had with this is when I put on a dark-colored shirt. If you end up getting the powder on your shirt, just dampen a wash cloth and rub it gently over the spot.
2. Baking soda: follow the same instructions as above.
3. Make your own deodorant:
• Powder
o ½ cup cornstarch
o ½ cup baking soda
o 5 drops organic peppermint essential oil
o 5 drops organic lavender essential oil

Place all ingredients in a glass jar with a secure lid. Apply a liberal amount daily (or as needed) with a powder puff, blush brush or your hands. You can also play around with the essential oils – try cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla, etc.

All I kept thinking throughout the day was how fortunate I was to be among so many wise, loving and caring people. People who want to do good in the world and change our world to that place of peace we all hold in our hearts. Every gathering together of like-minded people brings about an energy that affects our world. Thank you all so very much for making our world a better place!
This morning (June 22) I received an email on a new Go Gratitude gathering session that is beginning. I did the last session and found it made such a difference in my life. It seemed fitting to start this new session, coming off of the gratitude I feel from the Midsummer Festival gathering. I invite you all to join in on this world gathering of gratitude. Just go to http://www.worldgratitude.com You can make a donation or not. There are 9 pledges you make to demonstrate gratitude in your life each day. Some of you may want to keep a gratitude journal as well. I encourage you to be a part of this exciting journey!
I thank you all again from deep within my heart,
Jeanne

If you were in my house, the answer would be a resounding no! If you’ve ever pondered giving up your Kleenex, paper towels and the like, consider this: if every household in America traded one box of Kleenex and one roll of toilet paper for a 100% recycled version, we would save a whopping 807,000 trees! This doesn’t even count the over 1.4 million trees that would still be standing if we replaced our toilet paper and napkins with recycled ones. To give your non-recycled tissues a toss, check out this handy, printable guide (but consider NOT printing) to the most earth-friendly options on the market: http://www.nrdc.org/land/forests/gtissue.asp
