Yep, I agree too. We all have to educate ourselves, and read beyond the label. I also agree about local. Whenever possible, I much prefer to support local farmers (I want to KNOW where my food comes from).

You've been busy lately. Are you taking over Kim's role as editor at large, or you just that connected with this community? Keep it coming, what ever the case.

Cheers,

Hi Esther

I did find it. I missed the 1st 2 speakers and our satilite broke down for the 3rd one. Can we get a copy of what the speakers on satalite said, if we went to the conference and missed it?

Other than that I enjoyed the conference very much.

Thanks for asking.

Love and light
Lori

Thank you for your kind words and I briefly looked at your profile. It caught my eye immediately that you have experience the emotional challenges of having a child with cancer. ~Hugs to you and your son and all family in support.

I am not too familiar with this site and really have not ventured too much into the internet world, yet I have had my fair share of experience.

I look forward to this new community, with many like minded souls... thank you for your welcome.

Beautiful day!

~Julie Ann
