Published on Leave a comment on An Absolute Kudos To SA Wine Region For Wishing To Stay GMO Free!

IN ADDITION TO THEIR PRINCIPLE OF PRODUCING AND MAINTAINING TOP QUALITY WINE, I HAVE DONE CONSIDERABLE RESEARCH ON THE LIKES OF MONSANTO - THEY ARE VERY SHADY, TO SAY THE LEAST. I WILL PLACE LINKS TO TWO OF MY WEBSITES IN SUPPORT TO DECISIONS LIKE THIS. THE SA GOVERNMENT DID NOT DO THEIR HOMEWORK PROPERLY CONCERNING THEIR DECISION TO ALLOW GMO CROPS INTO THE STATE. THERE ARE REAL FACTORS, I BELIEVE, THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF TO APPROVE SUCH A THING! THE MCLARENVALE WINE REGION HAS SOME SMART DECISION MAKERS - IT IS WISE TO DO DUE DILIGENCE IN SUCH MATTERS AND I WOULD LIKE TO APPLAUD THEM WHOLEHEARTEDLY.

Key SA Wine Region Leads Push To Remain GM-Free

From Indaily.Com.Au

South Australia’s largest council is poised to be the first to ask permission to ban genetically modified crops from its borders following a push from McLaren Vale’s wine industry, which says the lifting of a moratorium will cost the region millions.

Onkaparinga councillors will decide tomorrow night (Tuesday, September 15) if they will ask for the district to be given non-GM crop designation following months of public consultation.

Legislation lifting a 16 Year Ban on Genetically Modified Crops in SA was passed by state parliament in May.…

By Janet Vargas - Founder Of This Website

SOME NEGATIVE VOICES WERE SAYING "YOU'LL DRIVE EACH-OTHER NUTS" and "THE KIDS WILL DRIVE YOU NUTS" and YOU KNOW THE SAYING: NEGATIVITY STRENGTHENS NEGATIVITY. THE SAME CAN BE TRUE FOR A POSITIVE OUTLOOK - YOU CAN REAP GOOD FRUIT. ONE PERSON SAID THAT "COVID CAN MAKE YOU, YOUR MARRIAGE OR BREAK YOU" - DEPENDS WHAT WE DO IN/WITH THIS TIME AYE? SOME APPROACHES ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS. I WILL NAME A FEW HERE.

I don't want to sound sinchy but I believe that things can work out for Good and have practiced this for some years. You know something? A few months ago, I could see ways our lives could be enriched and improved during this time and sure enough, I'm hearing reports in Good News media of people experiencing that. Stay with me......

Think about it for a minute: things were "rush rush" for most people. Not enough time to do everything, not enough time to spend with each-other and kids........ then think of all the time most of you have now? Think of this as a positive, rather than a negative hey?…

Published on Leave a comment on Finding Calm In The Restless Sea Of Humanity – This May Benefit You

By Janet Vargas - Owner of this Website

Humanity has become a restless tide with unseen influences affecting our values, choices and peace of mind, not to mention the way we relate as families, friends and citizens in daily life. Even the way we work has taken on phenomenal changes for countless employees, office workers and tradesmen and business owners.

We need to stand back from it all sometimes and say “hey, wait a minute”............ we need to find composure aside from the rush and bustle of things that place claims, so to speak, on our time and energies. We need to determine our values to make our lives meaningful and balanced - finding a happier and healthier existence for doing so, in this stressful generation. 

We all have values, big or small, constructive or destructive, beneficial or otherwise, yet many of us have not taken much time to think of our values, to actually determine a set of values.

 This is a Good Thing and a Healthy Practice for everyone to engage in - even to take a look at our values periodically. 

Actually, many of us in our upbringing  have not not been encouraged to establish values, having been brought up with two busy working parents, single parent managing things on their own or business parents - that takes a considerable amount of time and attention.…

Victorian Mum Shares ‘Incredible’ Random Act Of Kindness

A Victorian mum was left floored after buying a second-hand car and discovering the owner had left her a gift of “incredible thoughtfulness”

By Sarah McPhee

A single mother has shared an “incredible” act of kindness that brought her to tears after she purchased a second-hand car.

Jen Willis, from the Victorian town of Daylesford, northwest of Melbourne, bought the vehicle privately last week but soon discovered the owner had left her a heartwarming surprise.

A white envelope containing three $50 notes had been tucked between the sun visor and roof.

“This is a random act of kindness,” the note reads.

“Please use to spoil your family in a way that makes you happy.

“Just felt it on my heart to do this for you, in what sounded like a challenging time for you.”

Ms Willis said it was “such a beautiful random act of kindness” to be gifted.

“With only one adult now in our household here in Daylesford, I did a two for one with our cars and sold our Prado and Suzuki Swift to a dealer and bought a Subaru Outback privately and when I pulled down the sun visor as I went to drive my new car home, this fell into my lap,” she wrote on Facebook.…

Published on Leave a comment on Building Up Our Immunity Against Viral Infections And Pandemics – Some Insights!

By Janet Vargas Independent Natural Health Researcher

There is a Vital Principle, that if practiced should most times, spare us the necessity of Medical intervention.
I will teach you how to Look After Your Immune System here and Strengthen it.

Please stay with me, I will take you somewhere in this post as you read further. Keep Reading!

We would be better looking after our own Antibodies, hey? Shall we do that? LET'S GO>>>

So far this year, it seems evident to me that people in USA where Diet Standards are Very Poor, leading to Compromised Immune Systems and some third world countries where people are impoverished and lacking Vital Nutrients and Antioxidants to build Immunity, more people without a doubt are affected by these modern time Viruses in greater numbers. And also where little restraint is practiced when it comes to protective measures like Distancing we have practiced so well in Australia and New Zealand, recording good results and making us the first countries to be breaking free of this life threatening virus.

Belgium Scientists efforts to find Strong Antibodies – in place of strong Medical Drugs – I hope you can see a Vital Principle here, that ‘Wonder Drugs’ are not the Answer to the Health Needs of Today and they actually weren’t years ago, in the first place.…

"Children Who Are Brought Up With Laughter Cope Well With Life"

This is taken from a Special  Feature  Page  on my natural health website concerning ALL  the  Benefits  of  Laughter  - I  call this phenomena revealed by Heart Specialists, Neuroscientists, Psychologists and Various Physicians (collectively) the CHEMISTRY OF LAUGHTER. I've gleaned the following Information from various sources of research. LAUGHTER IS GOOD for your MORALE and also your IMMUNE SYSTEM.........It Releases Endorphins in your body that are "Feel Good Chemicals"  It can be a sure weapon against stress and if practiced regularly - as part of your Lifestyle - it can help to prevent and sometimes relieve Stress Related conditions.

Laughter Clears your Emotions and helps to Sharpen your Mental Faculties. Laughter is fun and it’s good for you. It makes others feel good. It provides physical, emotional, and psychological benefits. 

It was discovered some years ago that Children having Laughter in the Home, gives them better Coping Skills for future years when they grow up. It has been known to make some Kids quite Resilient.

Published on Leave a comment on Treasures In Contentment – A Different Perspective

By Janet Vargas Owner of this Website

"Let's live in Contentment - Happiness is more tangible that way, not so far from our grasp" (JV)  I will share some good insights with you. Would you care to join me?
Contentment is a good thing, it is not dependent on circumstances for our peace of mind. Can you see the beauty of that? Maybe you will after reading this post.
A family member said these words to me today: "I am going to enjoy what I have in life.....I am going to be content with the things that I have and not bother with the things I don't have. I will make the most of everything I have that is good.....it makes me contented and happy. If we want to be happy, we need to stop and think about what we have. Obviously, you have them because you liked them at some stage.I'm going to enjoy them now!"

I can give a hearty "YES" to that because her words (above) are SO TRUE! Happiness is not in endless possessions, the latest car and furniture or that something big you are waiting to happen - whatever that may be - Happiness is within your grasp once you see and find the Value of Contentment.…

Published on Leave a comment on How we See Ourselves is So Important – It Can Give You A Better Outlook On Life

By Janet Vargas Owner of this Website

I will share with you a Life Principle.
The way we look at ourselves is important and has a lot to do with how we experience life. Yes, the way we look inward has to do with our outlook on life.
We all have self-talk, an inner chatter. A dialogue as it were.

Take A Breather - Be Kind To Yourself Each Day

Make sure your dialogue is kind and give it some guidelines on a daily basis until it becomes your friend - bringing to mind positive thoughts, cheerful thoughts and loving thoughts. Yes, feed yourselves this type of thinking until it becomes natural.

Because our inner chatter is somewhat negative for most and unruly for some, with content that is disturbing and sometimes troublesome if not kept in check. Yes, you can monitor this self talk and tell it what to say, so to speak. You can decide the things you would like to hear. 

Our God given Power of Choice is a wonderful thing. We can choose what we want in life_ company, past-time and interests, food and cuisine, TV programs and websites etc and we can determine what type of thoughts we like to think, so we can see ourselves and life around us differently. …
