Rub A Dub Dub...

Good morning!  I hope your day has been wonderful so far.  

I need your help!  About a year ago I became interested in making natural soaps.  I have very sensitive skin along with a few of my children, and store bought soaps can make us break out into hives in an instant.  The natural soaps are gentle on our skin, feel amazing, moisturize, and are a much healthier choice since we know what we are actually putting into our body.  I think many times we tend to only think of the harmful things that we ingest.  But as all of you know, our skin is the largest living organ and everything that we touch seeps through our pores.  

I have given my soap as gifts before and have received many requests for more.  Everyone has loved it!  After thinking about it for a bit I thought I would try my hand at creating a business for this product.  The process takes about 8 weeks.  So I wouldn't have any ready until then - but I would love your feedback on the idea.  A sample bar would cost $1.00 and a regular bar would cost $3.00.  A price that is comparable with others out there.  The bars are large and last for awhile; longer than those that are store bought.  The question is, would any of you be interested in purchasing natural soap?  If so, what scents/colors would you like to use?  I can make soap that has a soothing lather, exfoliate with organic oatmeal leaving your skin radiant and smooth or remove unwanted odors (from cooking with onions, fish etc.) from your hands.  Whatever is in demand is what I am willing to make.

Please drop me a comment or email - and let me know your thoughts.  If I have a good turn out I will make available what you have ask for.  Thanks so much for all your help.

Until then...  
Jessie

    Hi Jessie.........this sounds all wonderful and interesting. I used to buy some goats milk Raspberry Orange soup. do you know anything about that? Also I don't know if you have ever bartered.......but I have done a little with some other girls. If not that is fine I just thought I would ask. If not I would love to know what you are doing with your soaps.

Invisible Monster

May 23, 2020, I woke to a miracle surrounding a loved one. Later, I sat in the gardens watching butterflies perch upon lavender lilacs while my Sweet Shalom giggled and chased after them. It had been a perfect day. The air was warm, but the skies overcast like a storm was about to roll in.   Life changes quickly...    The message flashed on the screen.        Wait - he's gone? Dear...I don't know what to call you, I've always wondered, with the slamming of the prison door, did you know what your choices would cost your children? Did you care?  My grandpa knew you as a kid. He was your pastor, said your parents were good people. He said you were a good kid too, but somewhere along the journey you lost your way.    You lost your way... and I was one of many that paid for your choices.      One of my last visits with you left me with a shoulder injury. The physical pain is a reminder that children should never have to v...

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity.  Hatred and poison spewed from their lips. The savage mob encircled me with no escape.  Screaming just a breath away from my face.  Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground.  Humiliated.  Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence.  Once inside my car I began to weep.   Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind.  Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists.  Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together.  Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears.  That was my experience at church this past Sunday.  To my relief the Pastor spoke words of love, life and truth NOT condemnation.  Healing and refreshing. ...

The Courage To Let Go

I journey down country roads, beholding field after field sprinkled in sunshine petals.  Cornstalks stand to attention in perfect rows.  We're still in the last days of summer but there's this waiting - waiting for a new season, a new breath.  Autumn is crouched around the corner; I can feel it. I wash the plates from dinner while that tall one dries and I listen to his plans for the future and they don't line up with what I want.  I'm proud of him but my heart worries.  Lights go out, beds turn down, and in the black I'm left with his suffocating words. No one told me when I became a mother the hardest part would be in the letting go. The dawn greets us.  We open books, devour their contents, and I look at these faces knowing my time with them will all to soon come to an end.  So we laugh and pile on the couch and read about an ordinary woman who really was an extraordinary women.  She went from one Jewish mother to the next pleading for th...
