We live in amazing times, when we are finally starting to realize the full extent of the capabilities we humans have. And some of the things we’re capable of doing are the type of thing we used to consider miraculous. Many still would.

Here’s an example.

The other day I was sitting in a restaurant having lunch with my daughter when she told me she couldn’t breathe. She said she felt like she had been punched in the chest, but nothing like that had happened and there was no outer bruise. Every time she tried to take a breath it hurt, and she wasn’t getting enough air in.

How would you feel? What would you do if your child told you that?

I know how I would have felt not too long ago. Very afraid for my child.

That fear would have put me into instant red alert status. I’d have revved up the parental action motor, gone straight home, called the doctor, or perhaps tried a slew of home remedies, which might or might not have worked, eventually necessitating a trip to the doctor (or even hospital emergency room), lost work and school time, etc., etc., and in the best case eventually the problem would have gone away. In the worst case it could have been the start of something chronic or led to other problems, maybe even worse.

This time, however, – remember, we’re still in the restaurant – I performed a process that uncovered the two causes of the breathing problem and removed them. Simple as that.

I know it worked because when I was done I asked my daughter to take a big breath and tell me how she felt. She said “Fine”. Never have I been happier to hear that word, which usually frustrates me in how little it communicates. This time it said a lot.

I did the entire process without touching her. No one in the restaurant knew what we were doing (it was done silently). And it took all of 60 seconds.

Sound like miracle? It did to me the first time I learned of this process. Then I found out that anyone can do it. It’s one of those things that we usually attribute to the Divine. We call it a miracle or say our guardian angel must have been helping us. But turns out we all have this power. My belief is that that’s because we’re all pieces or facets of the Divine. But that’s a subject for another post.

Would you like to learn how to “perform miracles”? I’m happy to teach you how. I can teach it to a single individual or a large group. Anyone can do it, no matter what their age, circumstances or abilities in other areas. All you have to do is take the first step by scheduling your free sample session. I assure you, life will never feel the same after you do.

Love Note/Household Tips and Tricks

Now some great things to do around the house or garden. Life is getting easier all the time! (Thanks to Keith for these and the Food Tricks!)

Weed prevention
Start putting in your plants, and work the nutrients into your soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go. Cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic, but they will not get through wet newspapers.

Broken glass remedy
Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can’t see easily.

No more mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away. (Much better to use it this way than in your dryer – see below.)

Squirrel away
To keep squirrels from eating your garden plants sprinkle them with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn’t hurt the plant and the squirrels won’t come near it.

Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or from under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

Reducing static cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and — ta da! — static is gone.

Measuring cup ease
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don’t dry the cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

Foggy windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser. Works better than a cloth!

Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside , just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily.

Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It’s a lot cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It’s also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn’t like when you tried it in your hair…

INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS [from Ellen: I don’t use dryer sheets for health reasons, but those of you who do should read this.]
The heating unit went out on my dryer! The gentleman that fixes things around the house for us told us that he wanted to show us something and he went over to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter. It was clean. (I always clean the lint from the filter after every load of clothes.) He then took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it. The lint filter is made of a mesh material – I’m sure you know what your dryer’s lint filter looks like. Well…the hot water just sat on top of the mesh! It didn’t go through it at all! He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh and that’s what burns out the heating unit. You can’t SEE the film, but it’s there. It’s what is in the dryer sheets to make your clothes soft and static free — that nice fragrance too, you know how they can feel waxy when you take them out of the box, well this stuff builds up on your clothes and on your lint screen. This is also what causes dryer units to catch fire and potentially burn your house down with it! He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months. He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long!
