Vanilla gluten-free cake made with lemon essential oil. Chocolate fondant icing. Very cherry berry coulis made with port (and doTERRA's Wild Orange essential oil). Oh, and cream... As you might see it was all very tasty!

Neem: A Tree for Solving Global Problems

Those of you who know me probably know I am the unofficial neem spokeswoman and I will extol the virtues of this tree to anyone who will listen. If you'd like to learn more about neem this is a wonderful book (pictured below). Here's the description:
The neem tree, one of the most promising of all plants, may eventually benefit every person on the planet. Probably no other plant yields as many varied products or has as many exploitable by-products. Indeed, as foreseen by some scientists, this tree may usher in a new era in pest control; provide millions with inexpensive medicines; cut the rate of population growth; and perhaps even reduce erosion, deforestation, and the excessive temperature of an overheated globe.

Perhaps then, someday in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.”
—Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

". . .Some people mistake kindness for weakness. And if you're a person who likes to be giving, that's a horrible thing."

and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.

There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”

—Jelaluddin Rumi
