The Martyr Eustathius (Eustace) was converted when he saw a Cross between the antlers of a stag.

This is a very attractive logo, and a very positive message.

I hope the items sell like hot cakes.

It would also be very nice if in future, shipping could be expanded beyond North America.

In Biodynamic agriculture a stag bladder is a key element in one of the preparations introduced into the compost heap to aid plant health.

Also, look up the legend of the white stag (Hungarian if I remember).

Celia - I just ordered a natural color tee shirt and look forward to receiving it and will wear it well. I believe that spreading the message of health, freedom, peace and truth is the most important thing we can do for ourselves and for all who strive for the best possible life.

Much love

Jeff

Yay! Congratulations-

It’s never ever useful to feel bad about yourself- especially around creating a product and supporting yourself 💕😎- Secret share here-

I run a small art gallery, I’m a metalsmith myself. A few years ago we started making soap and what I call a body ‘quench’ all natural - as I wanted clean products and love doing two or more things at once-

Over dinner one evening a name hit me up side the head:

CUYA stands for Clean Up Your Act.

Small batches: 8-10 2oz jars of the body quench, and less than 20 bars o soap at a time.

Fun, creative and shareable!

Packaging- hand done, brown craft paper, ribbon and sharpie 🤪😂🥳

from "Stag's Leap" by Sharon Olds:

Telling My Mother

Outside her window, a cypress, under

the weight of the Pacific wind,

was bending luxuriously. To tell

my mother that my husband is leaving me ...

I took her on a walk, taking her fleshless

hand like a passerine's claw, I bought her

a doughnut and a hairnet, I fed her. On the gnarled

magnolia, in the fog, the blossoms and buds were like

all the moons in one night—full,

gibbous, crescent. I'd practiced the speech,

bringing her up toward the truth slowly,

preparing her. And the moment I told her,

she looked at me in shock and dismay.

But when will I ever see him again?!

she cried out. I held hands with her,

and steadied us, joking. Above her spruce, through the

coastal mist, for a moment, a small,

dry, sandy, glistering star. Then I

felt in my whole body, for a second,

that I have not loved enough—I could almost

see my husband's long shape,

wraithing up. I did not know him,

I did not work not to lose him, and I lost him,

and I've told my mother. And it's clear from her harrowed

sorrowing cheeks and childhood mountain-lake

eyes that she loves me. So the men are gone,

and I'm back with Mom. I always feared this would happen,

I thought it would be a pure horror,

but it's just home, Mom's house

and garden, earth, olive and willow,

beech, orchid, and the paperweight

dusted with opal, inside it the arms of a

nebula raking its heavens with a soft screaming.

I love Sharon Olds and even saw her read in 1992. I didn’t know this poem though. Thank you. She is so raw and real.

Freedom in the physical world requires independence. Money is an essential component. How you manage money strips you naked of who you truly are. Giving is an important intention when wealth is concerned. Spreading it around appropriately. Goal not to amass but build new relationships with people and cultures that can only develop with a spiritual proxy when it comes to money. There is no excuse for a starving writer. Service to yourself and others ensures that Life can be lived more abundantly via creativity that endlessly fountains from being free to act.

Great action slogan, and the pairing of it with the energy of the stag symbol, gives it deeper meaning: MYHA; [My] Healthy Again; Make Yourself Health Again -- to evoke confidence in the Individual to take self-action to do the work to make themselves healthy again. Many people will benefit from having one of these physical reminders in their hands---the conversations that will be sparked! Congrats!

Never associate money with anger. It's not the agape love of money that is the the root of evil, it's the phileo love.

Money is just a point of contact. It's why God has commanded tithes and offerings, and why he blesses those who give, whether money or time or things.

It's meant to be a continuous flow. Money has a purpose. If you're ambivalent about it, it will leave you. Money responds to positive vibrations, just like everything else.

Respect it, see it as a blessing from God, let it flow. And never be afraid to ask what you're worth.

You give your time and energy to it, so ask what you want. If you respond to negative vibrations from critics, you will vibrate down to their level and money will elude you.

Congratulations on your new venture! Be tough, be strong, be positive and full of joy. It's an avenue of blessing for you from your heavenly Father. ❤️🙏

Thank you Anne. I know this, mentally, but the programming is from childhood. When families divorce...

I will do some mind shifts as best I can because this has really gone far enough. I've created way more stress and chaos than I needed to.

Yes, renewing the mind is a lifelong pursuit.

It can only be done through God.

We ask God to search our hearts for negative emotions and feelings and thoughts. We ask him to remove them from us from the roots. We forgive ourselves and ask forgiveness for allowing those thoughts.

We thank God.

When the feelings or emotions surface, that's when we cry them out, journal, release. The Holy Spirit will reveal things that are unpleasant and must be released. It's a wound with the bandage removed. God cleans it out, and progressively the negative thoughts and emotions diminish and disappear.

The mind is then being renewed in that area as we meditate on healing scriptures.

A daily process of self crucifixion.

You can do this. Hugs and Love

Please reach out Celia. There's still that other money making idea I talked to you about regarding a book. Would be nice to bring that to completion and it might inspire a whole new line of T-shirts too :)
