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.

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

Published on Leave a comment on 9 Flowers You Can Grow To Ward Off Bugs And Other Pests

Having bugs in and around your home, garden, patio, or yard can be frustrating. Not to mention, they're especially hard to get rid of. While powerful, inexpensive insecticides can help eliminate these nuisances, they can also introduce harmful chemicals into your living space. 

Looking for a natural way to get rid of bugs and other pesky critters? Then know that many flowers offer protection against them. According to the Malaria Journal, certain plants and flowers contain compounds that insects find toxic, resulting in an effective repellent that can keep them out of your garden or home. Ultimately, this will mean seeing fewer pests, such as mosquitos, fleas, cockroaches, flies, and more, all year long.

Purple Onion Flowers - Wards Off Bugs

So, if you want to enjoy your time indoors or outdoors without annoying insects, there are plenty of blossoms out there that may be the solution you're looking for. Whether you're a novice or someone with a green thumb, you'll be sure to find the right bug-repelling flowering plant in this comprehensive guide.

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.…

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.…

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 1 Comment on Happiness: Is It Luck or Discipline?

Learn how to cultivate happiness through mindful choices and healthy habits.

Robert Puff Ph.D. - Psychology Today

Have you ever looked at someone who seems to radiate joy and wondered, "Are they just lucky?" It's easy to assume that people who seem to have had easier lives—stable families, good education, successful careers—are simply fortunate when it comes to happiness. Conversely, we might believe those who have faced significant challenges are destined to struggle to find joy.

But is happiness just a matter of luck? After a lifetime of exploring this question, I've come to a different conclusion.

Learning from Life's Challenges

Throughout my life, I've sought out individuals who seem genuinely happy, regardless of their external circumstances. These aren't necessarily the wealthiest, most attractive, or most accomplished individuals. They are simply people who seem to be thriving, despite whatever life throws their way. And when I ask them about the turning point in their lives, the moment that led to their current state of well-being, the answer is always the same: challenges.

These individuals have faced difficulties, just like everyone else. But instead of being defeated by them, they learned and grew from their experiences.…

Yelling is Out for Kids and Parents
It's Not Good for Either of You
Let's Find Better Ways!

Children of all ages, but especially very young ones, often have a hard time with the concept of time. Be sure to utilize visual reminders or timers. Also, if you say you'll be there in a minute, stay with that.

Your child doesn't want to do the task

If your child is seemingly not listening, it may be that they actually just don't want to do the task you're requesting. Prompt them to share why this task feels daunting or share ways the task could be completed.

Reasons your kids aren’t listening (and what to do instead)

Are you having a challenging time getting your child to listen to you? If so, you're not alone. Parents everywhere often struggle with disobedient children who won't or choose not to listen to them. In this gallery, you'll find 13 common reasons your kids might not be listening to you, followed by what to do instead and ideas for encouraging them to listen. If you're unsure what to do to teach your child the best listening skills, read through today.…

Published on Leave a comment on Health Care Professionals – Commercialism and Modern Day Living in Relation to HEALTH

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

The World's System Profits when People are Unwell and Medical often makes us Sick. Most times, Natural Health Practitioners are genuinely Sincere and Help you to Build Up your Health. However Health Manufacturers are often into charging horrendous amounts for their Products, creating confusion in the minds of many.

There are Ways of working around that to gain Better Health when you know what to look for. And how to Identify and Dismiss false and Misleading Advice and Guidelines Governments Accept and Promote through Education Systems due to Greedy Cheapskate Manufacturers Lobbying to change Food Laws to Support their Arguments decades ago now when most people weren't aware that those Changes took place and the Real Reason they did.

This In fact has been the Underlying reason why So Many People's Health has been badly affected, and the Over Processed "Foods" in recent years have drastically affected the Health of Many including Children.

It's a shocking state of affairs, I'm sure you agree when many of you reading this
realise for the first time that some of that goes on.

Things should not be that way.…

Published on Leave a comment on Springtime’s Here – Let Kids Play – Outdoors Is Actually Healthier!

ONE OF THE VERY BEST THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR CHILDREN - Especially an Only Child - IS LET THEM HAVE TIME OUTDOORS. LET THEM EXPLORE. NATURE IS GOOD FOR THEM - NOT SO MUCH TECH. TOO MUCH TECH IS BAD FOR THEM. IT'S ACTUALLY COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE. ESPECIALLY TO THEIR IMAGINATIONS. SO CONSIDER INTRODUCING THEM TO SIMPLE DISCOVERIES OUTDOORS HEY?

Kids NEED To Explore - Don't Limit Their Imagination

Children’s Indoor Lifestyle Stunts Their Imagination
Sydney Morning Herald

The way we have allowed our housing market to develop means that most of our new our homes are extraordinarily close together (“Ban kids from social, but what will they do outside?”, September 14). They are designed to look inwards; there is no scope for seeing wider horizons. And with this comes a tendency for a narrowness of imagination and vision. This means that Daisy Turnbull’s point is well made. Where are the backyards to play in? Where are the creeks to dam? Where are the places to cycle to? It would be nice to think we can turn this around, but for many this will not be possible.
