Are you confused about and by all the different diets?
Go into any bookstore and you will find a section dedicated to these books. Why? They make lots of money. Why? Many of us in the Western world are either overweight or think we are overweight or have a family member who is overweight.
So what IS the answer?
Well, the video in the following link is an overview of where to start:

It is not a "fad" approach at all.
If you would like an free assessment of your diet, please contact us:

In the meantime, watch the video and explore the concepts for yourself.
Peace to all,

New Year's Resolution
Do you have a New Year's Resolution? Common ones sound something like these:
Lose weight?
Eat right?
Reduce your toxic load?
Live more sustainably?
Grow your own food?
Get involved in your community?
Help the less fortunate?
Start a community group.
Many are totally self centred. That is not always bad but life exists beyond the self and the self will not survive without considering things beyond the self.
Sorry if that's a bit too deep and meaningful and/or cryptic. I want to get you all thinking outside the square and beyond your comfort zone.
Let's get back to basics and support each other and see where that takes us.
Peace to all,
KISS for life,
Miriam.

Triclosan - a dangerous compound in many products
Well, this compound, Triclosan really is the pits if you like to be healthy.
It's making its way into such a vast range of products too. All manner of personal care products - due to its "antiseptic" capabilities. Yep, that means toothpaste, soap, and lots of other stuff. It's now in lots of socks, pillows - anywhere the product owner thinks it would be a good marketing ploy to have an anti-bacterial agent in their product.
So, be an educated consumer - check out what you are getting before you purchase ("caveat emptor" = buyer beware) 'cos if a chemical is approved for use noone else will look out for your wellbeing. (Remember- passive smoking and asbestos?!) Unfortunately, it won't always be obvious that Triclosan or another unwanted compound is in the item/s you are buying.
At Between Father Sky and Mother Earth, we don't sell anything with Triclosan. We vet our products as well as we possibly can before deciding to include them for sale. AND we are very particular about what we will sell. We value our own health and those of everyone else.
Check out www.betweenskyandearth.com.au for great natural and or healthy alternatives to choose from. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact us.

A New Beginning
WOW! We finally launched our website late last week.
It's been quite a journey and a number of products still need to be added or have their image modified.
I started this process nearly two years ago (and had a couple of false starts over the last 12 years). I spent about a year researching the best way to do my website given what I wanted to do. Everyone I contacted, of course thought I should use their software/method.
In the end I chose not to go with open source software but an ecommerce software package from the USA. No system is perfect but this one allows me a lot of freedom and flexibilty. I have a good consultant/web designer to work with (happy to make recommendations - see www.cameronsloutions.com.au).
The hardest part was coming up with a design - both Lisa and I spent many hours trawling istockphoto and my own photos for ideas. I had the logo, which I designed 11 years ago.
Eventually, the design was borne and I love it. Thanks Lisa.
Please visit the site - there's a lot on offer. It is a dynamic enterprise, like life. Enjoy. Tell us what you think - both good and bad. Make suggestions.
