ART for cancer – The Mini

Enjoy this wonderful video of some of the finest art available at Imagekind. Art for Cancer is a wonderful way to purchase fine art prints with a portion of the purchase price going to specific charities to fight cancer.

Pixar – Geri’s Game

This award winning short Pixar film ‘moved me’. It seemed so suited for sharing in my For One site…reminding me that we do ‘adjust’ to life ‘for one’…and sometimes those adjustments means, making friends with ourselves.

How to Make Organic Cleaning Supplies

As I get older, I find that the strong chemical odors found in many of the commercial over the counter cleaners are becoming more offensive.
I’ve done a lot of checking into ‘natural and green’ remedies and cleaning.
I ran across this on You Tube and decided to share with you!

Natural Cleaner Recipes

forone — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 03:00:51 +0000

I’m ‘trying’ to go as “green” as possible in my home. Seeing all of the damage we’ve already done to our environment, with special attention to my home environment, I’ve started putting together natural ‘remedies’ for how to replace those chemical filled cleaners I’ve been using for years.

Here are a couple of those natural cleaning ‘remedies’.

Clogged Drain Remedy
1 cup salt
1 cup baking soda
1 cup vinegar

Mix, then pour down the drain. Follow with 2 quarts boiling water.

Fabric Softener
2 cups baking soda
2 cups white vinegar
4 cups water

Mix ingredients and store in a plastic or glass container in your laundry area. Label the container and keep it out of the reach of children.

I have more of these ‘remedies’ here.

Walking In The Air

This is soooo ‘point on’ to how my internet marketing is going at the moment.
Try so hard…..and nothing seems to work.
Oh but….what if it really ‘takes-off’??
Have I thought that far ahead??
