Transform your Life

Healthy Living With Nature

Being Healthy is an inside job....


Drinking is the way to go


It is important to drink at least 2 or 3 litres of water a day.

Hydration helps to flush out the kidneys and expel damaging toxins.

Dried fruit looks all shriveled, full of wrinkles and ugly. Our body reacts in the 

same way when we fail to keep our bodies hydrated. 


Move Baby Move

 

It is suggested that we need to move our bodies moderately for 30 to 60

minutes about 3 or 4 times  in a week.

This will improve the heart and cardio fitness and reduce stress.

It will boost circulation and oxygen flow which leads to a clear and glowing 

complexion....

and builds and maintains bone and muscle density.

Sleep like a baby



We need 6 to 8 hours quality sleep every night


For bodies to work to their potential when we are awake or asleep - rise with 

the sun and begin to wind down at sunset.

 Ideally keep all technology out of the bedroom ( Phones, computers, tvs), 

because these items send out electromagnetic radiation which interrupts sleep 

duration and quality.(Nutrimetics Australia and New Zealand)

.......the CHANGE is up to YOU. 


Make the choice now!

Dreams Come True


Treasures In The Garden

What we want for our children is reaching fruition.......


We don't want our 
children
to follow in 
our footsteps.
We want them 
to take the path
next to us,
and go further
than we could have
 ever dreamt 
possible! 


.......They have done everything we prayed/ hoped for and more!

My word for today is "DREAMS!"

Going Green -Growing Kale

Healthy Living With Nature


Want to grow Kale?


It's a Classic leafy green veg, and is the easiest of plants to grow. The plants thrive well in average soil, either in full sun or in shade. We have our plants in a raised garden bed, in a shade house with a vegetable net to deter the white cabbage moth.But they don't mind where they are grown - pots,tubs, troughs, open garden,raised beds.


Usually seeds are grown in autumn for a crop through winter. Or sow in spring for a warm season crop. We buy 6 seedlings which give us plenty of green for use by 2 people. Start picking about 7 or 7 weeks after sowing. Pick as required.

Feed soluble fertiliser every couple of weeks to promote HEALTHY growth.

Varieties which we know are Curly Kale, Cavola Nero, Red Winter Kale, and at present we have planted the Dino Kale variety. We have used all 3 varieties but I think our favourite is Red Winter Kale

Picking the young leaves eliminates the bitterness that comes with older leaves.
Any old leaves we pick and throw on the garden around our plants for mulch.
 
This is such an easy crop to grow and it just keeps on giving.

Into a Blender:

The Benefits of Friendship

Treasures In The Garden


We can have freedom of choice in who are our friends.......

.......and we are free to pursue whatever makes our hearts SING!


In the sweetness
of friendship,
let there be
laughter and tears
and the sharing of pleasure.
