My undying LOVE for all things natural

The natural journey is indeed difficult in a world full of cynics and  mass marketing of processed foods. I DO LOVE electronics, such as my OralB powered toothbrush, Irobot Scooba, Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, Asus laptop you know that amazing life changing stuff. But what I put in and on my body that stuff is seriously important to me. Some label me as a New Ager, Hipster, straight up crazy.. But I'm really starting to not care. I guess keeping my strength and heeding judgment is part of growing up. It's not pleasurable at all having to explain my ways or trying to find an organized religion to back myself up to my children's schools but, I'm ready to win the war righteously. I decide my children's upbringing and exposures NOT THE SCHOOLS. I cannot stand the Nanny State ways at all. I find the behavior offensive and unethical. My feelings border hatred and I fight my resentment by telling myself that their actions are due to their inexplicable  ignorance of the lifestyle. DIRT? Yes please we bathe in it! Cluttered home? Whatever we practice love and bonding as a family everything else comes second. Pharmaceuticals no thanks we prefer herbs. Though I CANNOT find a specific group near me that has the same values and views, I find herbalism to be a religious belief  and it pains me that the only thing somewhat relatable to it is the "New Age Movement" and is that legible to present to a school pressuring theoretical psychology methods such as counseling and administration of stimulants that cause seizures and tics? I'm really at a loss here since the pressures are so against my beliefs. Anyway that turned into a rant LOL I'll post some natural beauty and hygiene recipes later :D

And then she changed...

     

      One event can really change your values,spirituality, your entire perspective on life and what you stand for. I faced many tests but there is one that really stands out the most when I ask how I got this far. Experiencing my own child in danger and being completely powerless as a mother is where I truly was awakened. I know not what organized religion I may be quite yet. (If any) But, I do know I am one of few. (at least here in the USA) Believing in keeping physical purity, treating the body as a temple often causes eyebrows to be raised my way. However, no one knows the severity of what I have had to endure that made me this way. So, really all I care about is that I know, and that I make every effort to continue growing. Now, I love being my own. I'm not mold-able. I'm unwavering,indifferent,selfless,humane,logical, and intuitive. I'm a somewhat castaway,  a gypsy stuck in one place. I am proud of what I believe in. I come off as a lioness hunting her prey sometimes, but, that's only when I feel negatively attacked. I'm a mother protecting her most prized possessions in today's society.  I'm facing my own journey. I'm gracefully walking alone.
