Published on Leave a comment on If You Heard These 10 Phrases As A Child, You Were Raised By People Who Never Healed From Their Own Trauma

By Farley Ledgerwood

Is This You Or Your Parents? Healing From Traumas - It Is Possible!

Some wounds don’t end with the person who got hurt.

They get passed down—quietly, unconsciously—from parent to child. Not always through actions. Sometimes, it’s through words. Offhand phrases. Things said in anger or stress or fear. Words that, at the time, might have sounded like discipline or “tough love,” but left a mark that still lingers today.

I’ve heard these phrases in friends’ stories, in quiet confessions over coffee, and even from people who weren’t sure why certain memories still sting.

In most cases, the parents weren’t bad people. They were tired. Overwhelmed. Still hurting from things they never fully processed. And without realizing it, they handed some of that pain to the next generation.

Parents Need To Heal From Trauma
and So Do You

If you grew up hearing any of these phrases, you might have been raised by someone who never got the healing they needed. And that’s not about blame—it’s about understanding.

Because healing often begins with recognizing what we’ve absorbed—and deciding what we won’t pass on.

1. “Stop crying before I give you something to cry about”

It sends the message that your emotions are a threat.…

Published on Leave a comment on 10 Life Experiences That Have Quietly Made You A Better Person, Says Psychology

By Farley Ledgerwood

Life can be a wild ride, throwing experiences at you that reshape and redefine you in unexpected ways. And guess what? Many of these experiences, according to psychology, are quietly making you a better person.

Let’s get personal. We’ve all had moments that challenged us, made us grow, or changed our perspective.

But did you know that these very experiences might have been subtly improving you as a person? Now that’s food for thought!

Let’s dive in and explore ten life experiences that psychology says have been quietly transforming you into a better version of yourself.

And remember, it’s not about the big, monumental changes – sometimes it’s the quiet ones that make the loudest impact.

Wiser and Brighter through
Struggles and Triumphs

1) Embracing failure

Failure is a fact of life. It’s unavoidable. But how we react to failure is what truly defines us.

Psychologists have found that those who see failure as a learning opportunity, rather than a setback, exhibit higher levels of resilience and personal growth.

This doesn’t mean that failure doesn’t sting; but it’s about shifting perspective and seeing it as a stepping stone to success.…

Published on Leave a comment on Woodchips From Endangered Possum Habitat Sold To Domino’s For Woodfired Pizza – State Forest Involved! ABC

DON'T YOU JUST HATE IT FOLKS, WHEN SO MANY OF OUR PRECIOUS TREES ARE CUT DOWN FOR ALL THE WASTE OF PAPER BAGS and SHOPPING BAGS DESTINED TO BE THROWN OUT; MILES OF UNESSESARY A3 BANK STATEMENTS (Only A4 is needed and some of those Pages are Mostly Blank) HUGE CARRY BAGS GIVEN BY WOMEN'S CLOTHING STORES FOR SMALL ITEMS OF CLOTHING; TONS OF AMAZON ITEMS STILL BEING PACKED IN CARTONS and BOXES INSTEAD OF SIMPLE BAGS THAT REQUIRE LESS PAPER PULP = LESS TREES; ETC, ETC. IT'S ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS, THAT IS! DON'T YOU THINK?

Unique Trees In State Forest Cut Down For
Dominos Pizzas - Reprehensible!

A Victorian Sawmill harvested wood from Endangered Mountain Ash Forests and sold it to Domino's as Woodchips to smoke meat for Pizzas. Imagine that?

The pizzas were marketed with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. However, an Investigation has now found Seven Breaches of FSC Standards.

When Domino's advertised its "smokehouse" pizzas in 2023, it trumpeted that the meat was smoked over timber logged from "Aussie Mountain ash".

It also advertised that the timber was certified as sustainable.

But what the advertising didn't promote was that Mountain Ash Forests are Critically Endangered, with Logging listed as one of the Key Processes threatening them.…

Published on Leave a comment on Push to BAN Gazania daisies after New Research finds them Harmful to Australian Environment

AND SHAMEFUL BUNNINGS!

‘They are Moving into Grain Production Areas,
Choking Out Crops and Costing Farmers.’
From 7 NEWS

WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED?

An ornamental flowering plant sold at Bunnings and Other Nurseries
has been labelled dangerous to Australia’s Environment.

Do You Know This Flower?

Gazania daisies, bright coloured flowers native to South Africa, are a
“Highly-Invasive Plant”, a new study by La Trobe University said.

According to the Research, Gazania Seeds show a High Tolerance for a wide range of environmental conditions, enabling them to Spread More Aggressively and Destructively than previously expected.

As a result, researchers warn that the plant can become a problematic weed all year-round across much of Australia, potentially leading to widespread infestations.

Gazania has already been found growing in a range of habitats, from coastal sand dunes and stream banks to wastelands, open grasslands, roadsides and cultivated or irrigated sites in southern and parts of Western Australia.

“These preliminary findings suggest This Weed has the potential to develop a significant seedbank in Australian no-till grain production systems,”
the report said.

Invasive Species Council Advocacy manager Imogen Ebsworth has called for a National Ban on the plant, expanding from the current restrictions in South Australia.…

Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

Hi Friends, because I have been engaged in Natural Health Research for 30+ Years Independent and there is Considerable Interest in the Health Categories and Posts in my Blog here on Ours Australia, I have decided to start a few Pages at the top of your Screen called Website Recommendations to direct you to some Good Reading by Noteworthy Professionals and Natural Health Advocates who are a Lot More Interested in Our Health and Our Children's than most Medical Practitioners are these days with their "Hypocritical Oath" (Pun Intended) because Greedy Big Pharma runs the Medical Profession and Incentivises their Practitioners quite heavily.

So you should all know that it is Not a Health Profession actually, it is a Sickness Industry. They Profit far more if you are not well. Sorry to inform you but many People I meet in Shopping Centres when out and about (I like to have micro-conversations with) are becoming pretty aware of that since the Pandemic.

Some also suspect the Medical Industry and Food Industry are Closely Affiliated and to answer their Question (and yours maybe) that is absolutely True.…

Published on Leave a comment on Medical Profession: It Is A Sickness Industry NOT A Health Profession – Please Know The Difference!

Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

They run everything as a SYSTEM - they have Streamlined Everything to give as little Time and Attention as Possible..........they are doing Exactly that.

It's Pure Greed, and so maddening for many People. It is often dangerous too because wrong decisions can be made in those short few minutes - by the "Practitioner" or "Patient" what we accept.

It is not Respectful, Courteous or Wise to pass People through like products on a Conveyer Belt in a place of Manufacture. Yes, it's Insensitive and Mercinary - this SYSTEM and we can do much better for ourselves - believe me - and most of us don't Stop and think "there are Options" but some People have, and are happier for having made that decision.

I generally don't go to the Medical Profession if there's a Health issue of some kind - being a Natural Health Researcher, I can address things myself.

Two Caring Medicos in a Video I watched on YouTube this week, Dr Mike and Dr Marty Makary, are Waking up to some things while still blind about other things.

They have demonstrated to me in the first 23 Mins of a 2 Hour Video while trying to Expose and Alert People of things in the Medical and Food Industries for our Health and Protection and being Activists for Change.…

I don't recommend a lot of things from Medical Sources because they're sometimes into Misleading INFO however this Article is really good and I hope you read it.

A Womens Health Article from Yahoo Life

Here Medical Practitioners break down the science behind this, plus how to make walking for blood sugar work for you.

Meet the experts: Clare A. Kelly, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Case Western Reserve University and an endocrinologist at University Hospitals; Mir Ali, MD, medical director of MemorialCare Surgical Weight Loss Center at Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, CA; Christoph Buettner, MD, PhD, chief of the division of endocrinology at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School

What did the study find?

The study, which was published in , had 11 adults sit in an ergonomic chair for eight hours, getting up only for bathroom breaks and to do a recommended exercise “snack." The researchers looked at five different exercise "snacks" (short bursts of exercise): doing one minute of walking for every 30 minutes of sitting, one minute of walking after 60 minutes, five minutes for every 30 minutes of sitting, five minutes every 60 minutes, and no walking.…

Do you like Nice Stories? I like Nice Stories and don’t have much time to read them often.

Neighbour Friendships At Their Best -
It Doesn't Get Better Than This!

My husband and I found a sinkhole in our backyard. When we received a high bid to fix it, we decided to D.I.Y. the project following our contractor friend's detailed instructions.

The job required a few tons of dirt — more than our Subaru Forester could haul. My husband had eyed our neighbour's truck in the driveway. Even though we had lived next door to each other for 11 years, I really only knew that his name was Gary and that he was a retired bachelor.…

Published on Leave a comment on Things To Consider When Naming A Child

By Janet Vargas - Owner of this Website

Naming Children is So Important because most times, they have these Names
for Life. Every name has a meaning that is being spoken when we call someone
by that name.

Some of us are happy with our names, some are not. Nicknames can come in handy when we would rather have a different name. For some people, a change of name becomes necessary when we are really unhappy with our name.

There are some really odd names being used these days like "Carr" for boys and "Atlas" for girls. Seriously, would you like one of those for a name?

I've also met a girl in her 30s whose mother called her "Bo" after a ship and a very nice young man in his 20s whose parents actually called him "Bratt" - that is his official name! Can you believe that!?

Some parents choose names like "Beverly" for a boy or "Charlee" for a girl.
And some websites encourage parents to super-impose a personality or a career on a child through choice of names?

At the end of this Article, I will give you Links for two Extensive Lists of Boys and Girls Names I spent about 4-5 months Researching: Elegant Names and Beautiful Names for Girls and Smart Names and Good Names for Boys.…
