A Muffin A Day

By Anonymous


I admit sometimes I’m guilty of skipping breakfast. Early in the morning is the last time of day I have an appetite, especially if I’m having a busy morning with lot’s to do. But just by skipping breakfast, however accidental, I’m actually doing more harm to myself than help. It’s a common fact that adults and children alike need to eat breakfast daily. Growing bodies and developing brains rely mainly on eating regularly. Studies have shown that kids who don’t eat breakfast are more apt to be tardy and absent from school as opposed to children who eat breakfast on a regularly. Sleeping those extra minutes to skip breakfast isn’t as helpful in your overall health. It’s even been shown that missing breakfast is strongly linked to obesity! Try this delicious recipe and give breakfast another chance!

Partake of the beautiful Lotus to inspire your mind. It sedates and seduces..

By
Lotus - Its God's favorite flower...Its mysticism may also be linked to the  mild narcotic or sedative effects   from flowers that are eaten, smoked or steeped in wine and drank. Also called the world's most beautiful flower, the lotus is the most sacred, and it seems there never was a time when man did not adore it.....Of all the myriad buds and blooms, the most revered and esteemed--by God and man--is the magnificent lotus in the sub continent and all across China and Japan. According to Buddhism and Hinduism, within each human inhabiting the earth is the spirit of the sacred lotus. It represents eternity, purity and divinity and is widely used as a symbol of life, fertility, ever-renewing youth and to describe feminine beauty, especially the eyes. One of the most common metaphysical analogies compares the lotus' perennial rise to faultless beauty from a miry environment to the evolution of man's consciousness--from instinctive impulses to spiritual liberation.
