This film was announced on one of my LinkedIn groups and I thought it valuable enough to share with others.

“Strive For Happiness” is a documentary film about the lives of those who live with or care for loved ones who suffer from the many forms of severe mental illness. The director’s hope is that this film raises awareness about the illness, removes some of the stigmas that still exist, and hopefully makes some change in policies that currently exist (funding, etc.)The film is documented by director, Richard M. Patricia as it takes a closer look at his life growing up in a household with a “loved one” that suffered from bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. The interviews throughout the film reflect what his life was like growing up in a household dealing with mental illness. His hope is that this film will catch the attention of many family members throughout the country that know or lived with a loved one who suffers from mental illness. This film will also relate to anyone who cares for someone with an illness in general.

I’ll be writing more very soon!

There is not a single person that I’ve met along this path that has not been led to become more holistic in their approach to living and eating. It happens gradually. First you will notice that certain foods that are bad for you, lose their appeal and actually start to taste bad. Then one day, you’ll try something like Green Tea and find you really like the flavor! (Funny, but I didn’t like it when I tried 2 years ago!)

This happens because as you grow in your spiritual walk, you will start to vibrate at a higher frequency and those things that do not serve your highest good will start to fall away. That could be food, things you drink (I’m still waiting for the coffee to leave!), and sometimes people and habits will just suddenly disappear.

All of these events are normal and I will cover them in detail as this site progresses.

For now, I’d like to turn you on to a site that you may want to bookmark for when the time comes. This site will get you in touch with a local Watkins representative in your area for good old fashioned products from Watkins Online.

The Watkins line of products have been around long before our mainstream chemical additives were even discovered. Their soaps are made from natural vegetable oil with no artificial colors or animal by-products.  For more than 140 years they’ve been providing what is now considered “earth friendly” and organic products! Imagine that, before it was fashionable to do so!

So, go visit the site and when the frequency hits, head over to the store and start the path of progressive holistic living. Jus for the fun of it, visit it now and look for a representative in your area!
