Everyone is his or her own authority. You are your own authority. This does not mean that you are an authority over what other people do or say or think. Even as what you perceive may be right on the money for yourself at any given moment, tomorrow you may change your mind, or, if you do not change it, somehow life may change your mind. One day, even about something as little as a dish detergent, you are certain this one is the best of all. In another month, you may declare another detergent is best of all. When We get down to it, who are you to tell others what thoughts of yours they ought to have?

When it comes to Me, hold back on making absolute statements. Say whatever you like to yourself, to others you don’t want to assert yourself so much. If you are certain of something concerning Me, it doesn’t have to be so important to you that others know the inside story as you do. You are not a hawker. Even if you are absolutely correct – and you may or may not be – it is not for you to declare that your discoveries are essential for everyone else to know and believe in. Your discoveries are your discoveries.

No one has to flaunt his expertise. You don’t have to assert what you believe as if you have the total answer. You don’t have to mount your soap-box. Living your Truth is one thing. Refrain from the idea that the last word belongs to you. Even if you know more than anyone else, still, beloveds, you don’t know everything.

Drinking water is incredibly good for you. Which makes sense since our bodies are mostly water. Depriving yourself of adequate amounts of water can be incredibly detrimental to your health, and overtime can cause some serious and painful diseases. There are three diseases that can be easily avoided with the consumption of water.

Kidney Stones

Guys, women say that passing a kidney stone is similar pain to childbirth. Imagine the pain of birthing a child out of your penis, and you’ll be grabbing that glass of water in no time. Drinking two liters of water a day reduces the risk of kidney stones by 50%, and that’s pretty cool.

Urinary Tract Infections

While UTIs aren’t quite as big of a bummer as kidney stones, they still suck. If you consume a sufficient amount of water and make sure to urinate when you need to...

In 2008, 59% of Alaskans voted for John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, over Barack Obama, the Democrat. In 2012, 55% of the state’s voters voted for Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential candidate, over Barack Obama, the Democrat. In 2014, 52% of Alaska voters voted to legalize recreational marijuana. Why do these numbers matter? Because it shows that blue states, like Colorado, Oregon and Washington, aren’t the only states where marijuana can be legalized. And that energy is on its way to deep south and deep red Georgia.

The leading bill is expected to be filed in the General Assembly and would allow Georgians to use cannabis oil to reduce seizures that accompany epilepsy and some other illnesses. But another state senator is taking a much broader approach to the matter...

As it turns out, honey is a lot more useful than a tea or oatmeal sweetener. It has a trove of healthy values other than being eaten for better health. Here are some of the more unusual, lesser known uses for honey.

1. Treating wounds. Only non-life threatening wounds, of course. If you have bumps, scrapes, scratches or bruises, applying a bit of honey to the area will help soothe the pain and heal faster.
2. Hangover remedy. The high fructose content of honey allows your body to process alcohol faster. If you’re having a real rager of an evening, take a spoonful of honey before bed and again in the morning. Don’t remember to hydrate!
3. Treat red parasite infections. This is one I definitely didn’t know! a 1:1:1 mix of water, vinegar and honey might not taste great, but it helps get rid of mild red parasite infections.
4. Cleansing the skin. Honey is a natural exfoliate. Wash your face with honey and rinse with lukewarm water. Warning: this face wash might be tough if you have facial hair. Did I learn this from experience? We’ll go with maybe.

In the 1960s, the Espanola Galapagos tortoise was in pretty tough shape. There were only 15 individuals remaining – 12 females and 3 males. But fortunately, that was the animal’s low point. 50 years of dedicated conservation effort has brought the population of the tortoise up to 1,000 individuals! More importantly, their recovery is stable, and it looks to be on its way up.

In 1973, the Galapagos Islands National Park Service started a captive breeding and reintroduction program for the giant tortoises. Through this program, they have been able to breed and release 1500 of the captivity raised tortoises back onto the island of Espanola. Unfortunately, the non-native goat populations on the island had to be culled.
