Summer Time Blues
Well another summer is almost coming to an end; with the wrapping up of all that lawn furniture to the last few nice warm days at the beach, this sometimes leaves us with a sad feeling and the anticipation of the colder weather to come. While there are some who really enjoy the cold weather as opposed to the sun the seasons changing really does affect some people and can actually put you in a depressive state. While I like to remind everyone that you can control this with simple mind tricks it is a fact SUMMER is OVER. Now in putting things into a positive alignment you can start to focus on the upcoming holidays. With these holidays and each religion has their own, you can focus on the good ever changing life that with each day gives us the opportunity to create a better world for us to live in. Take that blue mood and decorate your world with what you want it to be, keep yourself and your world amazingly happy. Remember life begins with you and no one can affect your world unless you allow them to.
Politics
Everyone is chatting about the upcoming election and if I don't acknowledge this, well it would be wrong. I have in the past and in numerous articles promoted the fact that it would have been the right thing to do to put a woman in the white house. We all know the saying "behind every good man is a women" well with this in mind we could have done away with the middle man and stepped up. Now I am not saying that it would have been a perfect fit but come on people look at what has been going on with the ones in charge now. Our wonderful country really needs to have a change; it is not for the people or even about the people these days. The people, us seem not to count. I think in a perfect election, which we all know does not exist, Hillary will win! But well we all know that just is not going to happen. But good luck to the ones who are running and I would say let the best man win but I don't believe it works like that these days. So let it be!
Reference & Information
There are some really good items one can keep in their home that is not only beneficial in magic but also good for several other purposes. I have listed some very useful items below that you can use for several purposes that will keep costs down when buying supplies due to the fact that they are multifunctional
Sea Salt: now we all know that this is great for cleansing items and used for seasoning food but some do not realize that this also stops itching, great to soak your body in and one of my favorites is when you have an ear ach fill a sock with warm salt and place it on the ear. There are many other uses for this item so take advantage of them
Cinnamon: this is very good to sprinkle on breads, cereal, coffee and so on, but you can actually use this for many other things around the house. This can be burned or even boiled to use as an air freshener, with this in mind while doing this you are attracting love. I personally put some in my vacuum to make the entire house smell great.
Sage: this is very good to use for meats, poultry, fish but when burned it is good for cleansings, to attract money. I have found this very helpful when you use it for tea; it's a natural antibiotic and will help with several illnesses.
Almonds: Not only are they very tasty but carry one in your pocket for prosperity.
REMEMBER to read more on the ingestion of any item prior to consuming
Equal Rights
Seems these days the equal rights amendment does not hold true for all people. Whether it be smokers or specific people in general our rights are being taken away one small step at a time. I see so many people who are smokers being told they cant smoke here or there and now in some areas they are actually not allowing those who smoke rent specific apartments. Sad but true someone else has the right to tell you what you can do in your own home. While I am not saying smoking is a good thing I think everyone in the good old USA has the right to equality. Sad but the powers that be seem to think that controlling the people is much better. Sad that we as a whole sit by idly and allow this to happen. While smoking is just a small piece of the puzzle there are several other individuals that do not get fair treatment when applying for specifics in our country. There are people who are not treated equal when applying for housing assistance (this is why we have so many homeless) because our system allows them to pick and choose. This is a subject that needs to be evaluated by the powers that be so we can get back to being an equal rights country.
Poetry Corner
Blinded by the tears I sit and reflect on what should be
Not understanding what choices they made
To bring us to this point in time
How can people choose to live in mayhem?
How could they expect me to allow
My child to grow in this grime
Who would put clutter above clean
Who would put danger above safety
Who would put me in tears
The answer is sad for I really don't understand
Why they cant understand that my child
Safety is what I fear
Those who have chosen to be this way
Will suffer not I
For my child and me will live as I choose
Not live in the pigsty

The original game of "Monopoly" was circular.
One-fourth of the world's population lives on less than $200 a year.
Ninety million people survive on less than $75 a year.
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the fear of long words.
A snail can sleep for 3 years.
The average human eats 8 spiders in their lifetime at night.
Mosquitoes are attracted to the color blue twice as much as to any other color.
If one places a tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion, it will instantly go mad and sting itself to death.
Grapes explode when you put them in the microwave.
The Grateful Dead were once called The Warlocks.
A group of unicorns is called a blessing.
Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.
The youngest pope was 11 years old.
More Poetry
I've lost a lot of friends these days
Yes I'm afraid its true
But in the sadness of it all
I lost my friend in you
The time we had was precious
Sometimes happy and insane
But since you're not my friend now
My tears will fall like rain
In life we learn some lessons
But this one I don't see
Cause I did not do anything
You just cut me free
So in my world there will be an empty place
That was reserved for you
But now I will move on and up
To something a little new
But in my heart will rest a place
For the love that is just yours
But you shut me out and I will survive
Even though you closed the door

Greens Dreams
Why cant we live is a more peaceful world? The thought that the fighting is still going on and our wonderful solders are risking their lives really sets me off. No in my opinion we should not be over in another country fighting, the idea that our family and friends are dying but the people who have decided we should be over there still have their family right by their sides is just so mind boggling that I am hoping with a new person in the power that be table things will change and our loved ones will come home.
Now I am saddened by the thought that good average people are loosing their homes, that pets are being left unable to understand why their families can no longer love them, how when these people go to the system for help they are turned down because they make too much money, I am saddened that you have to be dirt poor in order for our government to lend a hand, mean while you work and pay taxes and what do you get!

It appalls me that our country will send money over to another country to rebuild, feed, educate and so on but when it comes to ours the system fails us. Sad but true you either have to be already on the system or from another country to get our wonderful system to help you. Maybe someday we will have a system that is working again
Parenting is such a serious job that it annoys me when you see a parent telling a child to do something that they themselves will not do. To teach a child is such a wonderful gift but to teach them by example is the correct way.
I am at a loss as to why more people don't start banning together to utilize the items we already have, solar energy, wind energy, gardens and so on. If we would all just start using the power that is natural instead of other fuels our earth would be healthier, our lives would be less stressful and our bellies would be full. In the past many people used a trade system, they would trade some fruit or vegetables to another for items they needed, milk, eggs and so on. Seems our system was much better in the past

Wrapping it up
As with each newsletter I like to close with blessing going out to all those in need, always remember that love should be unconditional and that each and everyone of us are unique and special. Remember the prayers are done for each of you and with all the love that is out there reach out and except it.
To those who are in need look around there are a lot of people willing to help, for those who can offer help do so, the circle of life is endless but only if each of you helps a little each day.
Love and Light Lav
