Don't Throw a Good Thing Away

USING A P&G SWIFFER MOP?

Think again! In 2008 I wrote about Proctor and Gamble and their ploy to deceive customers with their mops, squeeze dollars out of us with their mop and dusting systems as well as increase the amount of waste products in cleaning solution bottles and disposable pads. You can read that Blog post  here: BABY COME BACK . Clearly P&G gets a huge THUMBS DOWN. 

Here's a Great Company for Mops! 

My new LIBMAN mop is superior to P&G’s system. It comes with a washable pad, and a container that you can fill with any cleaner you like. Plus if you click on the link to their website you get a $5 mail-in rebate! I bought my new mop last year and highly recommend it. I use it with my favorite cleaners from Melaleucca or Gold Canyon Candles Rosemary Floor cleaner. It means a lot to save money these days as well as to protect the waste of environmental hazards. Libman clearly stands for all these issues.

All about LIBMAN from their website:

Bringing the world a better way to clean through innovation, design and quality. For over 110 years, the Libman family has made quality their utmost priority. William Libman started The Libman Company in 1896 with one mission; to make the finest, most durable wire-wound corn brooms. William’s sons, grandsons and great grandchildren have since expanded that mission to include the finest mops, brooms, brushes and cleaning tools.

From now on, LIBMAN in my choice of cleaning tools.

This all American company provides us with CHOICES, savings and tips to clean that are truly GREEN and truly is an environmentally responsible company. Their products are for the home, outside, industrial use and refills or replacement parts for them all. 

It's important to give word of mouth advertising especially when things work. So don't believe the BABY COME BACK commercials or any for that matter.

Try LIBMAN products. If they work and you are happy, like them on FaceBook!

Then tell everyone you know about the products that work for you. In fact, write to me letting me know your very favorite companies and products. I'll feature them on this blog! 

The Yin & Yang of Life

My mother gave me a diary when I was in the 4th grade. It was her practice to write daily and she figured it would be good for me as well. It was red and had a key which made it very special. In those days I reported what any normal fourth grade girl would write: went to school, took a bath, fought with my brothers, washed the dishes and so forth. By the time I turned fourteen I discovered life wasn't so easy, my hormones changes and everything seemed chaotic. Writing it all out felt good. Now the little diaries were replaced by notebooks, and became a practice of mine to this day. I have boxes of these spiraled notes, or composition books in black and white awaiting a time in the future to be read by me.


It's was always my habit to use journaling as a dumping place for all the dark thinking, griping, bad days and things that just simply confounded me locked inside my head with no other place to go except a page in a notebook. I even used to own a black paper  notebook  allowing me to write in pencil so that not even I could decipher the junk being written down. That one eventually ended up in a ceremonial burning and departure from a bad time in my life. For the most part anger to rage to sadness and desperation filled many pages releasing my mind from sinister grips of bad thinking. That is the content of my lifelong journaling. They were a friend to me when no human being could possibly understand or so I thought.


On occasion a poem, prose or  "aha moments" of enlightenment or resolution, graced a page or two with even illustrations to boot! There were many prayers, recordings of memorable events or dreams. I suppose there is even a yin and yang to everything in life. Black ink on white paper (or visa versa), good and bad, hard and easy, male and female, complaining or gratefulness. 


This year, I immersed myself in reading a devotional called Moments that Matter by Catherine Marshall - a womanly sage, full of deep yet gentle wisdom. She takes a day with a promise of scripture, an example from life and paints her words like a Masterpiece concisely into something worth remembering. She is never judgmental or trite, always open-ended with room to apply the meditations to my life.


I realized that all my writing doesn't have to be about darkness. I experience so much good, pleasant times and memories. I determined with her influence and authoring model to spend more time in authentic stories, with gratitude, noble messages, and solution based writing. That and keeping things short, which in case you haven't noticed, is very difficult for me to do! There is always room for improvement...
