A Talented Designer, Ron Marvin



Traditional Home magazine recently named Ron one of their Top 20 New Traditionals, showcasing him in the launch of their new online magazine Trad Home. Ron’s work has also been featured in Lonny Magazine, as a part of the premiere issue. A makeover project was published in The New York Times. His New York home has been shown in Metropolitan Home magazine, and on the HGTV show “Small Space Big Style”. After being featured on the show, Ron was asked to join the show as an on-air expert.

 - Ron Marvin is not just a talented man, but a sincere breath of fresh air.  Ron is a long time college freind of my sister's and a fellow Iowan. If you are born and raised in Iowa, a blueprint is embedded within you of grounded integrity and gentleness that even New York City cannot dilute.  I can't seem to get to a high enough mountain top to sing prasies for not only Ron's talent, but for the contagious happy spirit that is Ron Marvin.  He is animnated, overflows with creative vision and energy, and truly LOVES his work.

I Wish You Enough

A mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport as the daughter's departure had been announced. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said:

"I love you and I wish you enough."

The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom." They kissed and the daughter left.

The mother walked over to the window where I sat. Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed to cry.

I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?" "Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever good-bye?"

"I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is the next trip back will be for my funeral," she said.

When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, "I wish you enough." May I ask what that means?"

She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone." She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more.

"When we said 'I wish you enough' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them". Then turning toward me, she shared the following, reciting it from memory,

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye."

NATURES MAGIC, THE BLUE OCEAN MINERALS



BLUE OCEAN MINERALS are an incredible gift of nature. Here we have comments from John Douglas of Spirit Repair, LLC on the minerals from his observation of the minerals in the body and the unbelievable results of the magic that occurs when one consumes just one teaspoon every day.  There is no one size fits all in supplementation as each persons physiology is unique.  However, one fact is the body requires full spectrum minerals and when given in the correct synergistic balance according to nature, the minerals are 100% biologically available or absorbed by the body.  There is no comparison to synthetic supplements.  Following are John's comments.

"Blue Ocean minerals contain known and unknown elements of nature. Minerals which all play a part in our body's processes and all play a part in the regeneration and nourishment of our cells. There are known minerals in Blue Ocean minerals but there are many unknown compounds which I have identified which have many, many amazing properties and work in different areas of the body. 

Blue Ocean minerals rejuvenate and regenerate the body giving you a zing in your step.  Why? Because with the state of the earth, the soil, and even organic farming we are often not ingesting enough of the micro nutrients our body needs to be healthy and strong. Various types of malfunctions and illnesses in the body accompanying a mineral deficiency, or mineral malfunction Blue Ocean minerals are one of the most powerful compounds giving us known and unknown gifts of nature. 
Blue Ocean minerals are derived from the pristine underground wonderland of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, the largest tropical reef in the world.  The Great Barrier Reef is teeming with life, and life energy and lots of nutrients and magical things. Blue Ocean Minerals  are extracted from the waters of the Great Barrier Reef and will regenerate the cells and help rebuild the body effectively and quickly.
Blue Ocean minerals are a definite gift of nature.  Many people are not able to absorb water because of a lack of necessary minerals which are necessary to control the chemical reaction to metabolize water into the cells to hydrate, the result is dehydration.    One spoon  of Blue Ocean Minerals in a little bit of water corrects this malfunction immediately. It's unbelievable.   All of the cells in everyone who takes Blue Ocean Minerals come alive and start to respirate to push poisons out because they are coming to life with complete synergistic mineralization in perfect balance as crafted by Nature."

LAUNCH YOUR CHANGE

TIME FOR A CHANGE

With the turn of another calendar year, once again its time to take stock 
in what is running you and your life
where are your actions and intentions taking you
what are your patterns
where are you stuck
what do you want to keep
what is ready for an upgrade
where are you in your self awareness
 how discerning are you of your intentions, actions and relationships 
that are guiding you along a certain path
are they the best for you
how sharp is your ability to sense the options nature is showing you 
for your highest life path
do you seek your answers in others

how aware are you
how still can you be to hear the intelligence in every particle of nature around you that is guiding your every action and decision
are you living your life to what is expected or deemed normal to those around you
 are you choosing according to your desires and passions which is your happiness

how well do you know yourself?

do you know nature
do you have a sense of the divine in your daily life, or do you take it for granted
are you tethered to your soul
do you know what your spirit is
are you open to all possibilities in nature, or do you need to read it in a book
are you stubborn
do you conform
do you need to be told
can you feel
can you sense
are you open to the un-imaginable and the magical 
or do you need it to be scientifically proven in order to be true
how open are you
how flexible are you
how willing are you
how free are you

do you move your body
do you look after the cause of your discomforts or do you treat the symptoms

are you productive
are you creative
are you flourishing in your life work or is it time for a change

does your nutrition regime consist of whole, pure and colorful foods full of vitality and life which serves as the paint brush creating a natural beauty and glow
or do you consume a vast amount of packaged, processed and preservative packed food 
what you eat becomes your physiology, the art work on your face
are you bright as the sun or stiff as a board
are you clear and healthy or clogged and inflammed

do you spend time in contemplation of yourself
do you make time for love, giving and compassion
do you take time to be still, quiet and alone
do you smile
do you laugh
do you cry
do you love
do you give thanks
do you share
do you give
do you serve
do you try

how well do you know yourself

choose to make this year your special year to release yourself from all you think you need to be.  have the intention and take the steps to invest in your senses of self awareness and discernment.  try something new each day.  make efforts to upgrade your nutrition, start a new workout regime, make time for love, make time for contemplation, look for answers in yourself, take a risk, try something new.

be open
be free
launch a change

amen

WHAT DO YOU LEAVE IN YOUR WAKE?



what trail to you leave through your journey?  
what do you leave people with every day, every minute, 
what do you leave people with?  
what do you leave in your wake?  
do you leave people better then they were? 
do you leave a battle with nature?  
if someone is not conforming to your plans, or requirements, 
or needs, do you fight the natural flow of nature in someone else?
do you reject nature when it is convient to you?  
how do you deal with oneness in your daily life? 
do you reject nature when someone didn’t turn up on time?  
do you reject nature when someone let you down on something?  
does it work out later on and you think, what was i worried about?  
what was i upset about, its worked out.  
do you have the realization to know,  
to sense the order of nature in your life?  
are you manifesting the correct things?  
are you vibrating in the right way to make your path most effective?

what do you leave in your wake?
