She has generously agreed to be a supportive force in creating our detox teas &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;specifically&lt;/span&gt; for each person and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;evolve&lt;/span&gt; with them as they go through the cleanse process. It feels so good knowing that each person will be so thoughtfully cared for.&lt;br /&gt;Sarah is real and present. Her tea is made with you in mind each and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;every time&lt;/span&gt;. There is an overall sense of ease when I go to the shop. The pace and timing that go along with having a special blend made and brewed is a wonderful refreshing &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;experience&lt;/span&gt;. No hustle and bustle. There is eye contact. Life experiences shared. Treat yourself to tea with Sarah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Ptesf1hUDSk/SSzbb1qG7fI/AAAAAAAAABI/HRD1CmjiZ4c/s1600-h/sarah.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272830535050653170" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 117px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 185px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Ptesf1hUDSk/SSzbb1qG7fI/AAAAAAAAABI/HRD1CmjiZ4c/s320/sarah.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you Sarah.&lt;br /&gt;Homegrown Herb and Tea&lt;br /&gt;195 Congress Street, Portland Maine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;tuesday&lt;/span&gt;-&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;friday&lt;/span&gt; 11:00a.m.-7:00p.m.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;saturday&lt;/span&gt; 12:00-5:00p.m.&lt;br /&gt;207-774-3484&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also want to share my heart felt gratitude for this last hour which I spent talking with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Rebecca&lt;/span&gt; Thompson who is the founder of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Consciously&lt;/span&gt; Parenting Project. I love when i have those experiences where it isn't so much the content as much as the essence of the connection that makes the experience meaningful. Tonight we talked about wonderfully important content. I have much work to do for the web-site and the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;collective&lt;/span&gt; now! and, and.. What I am most aware of is how my whole being is made more soft, open, reverent, and grateful just from an hour in her presence. There is a Truth that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;resonates&lt;/span&gt; beyond words into the core of my energetic being and again breathes life into the words from a whole new place. This is conscious connection. This is true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel honored to have connected with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Rebecca&lt;/span&gt; and I invite you to spend time on her web-site. She has tons of great resources and a really great store where she has consciously gathered books she stands behind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ptesf1hUDSk/SSzaEudV9sI/AAAAAAAAABA/PKoXWTqCu48/s1600-h/Rebecca+Thompson.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272829038469445314" style="FLOAT: left;

We gathered around 8:00p.m. and the adults watched Martin Child and the kids watched Mickey Mouse. There was an abundance of popcorn and movie related &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;paraphernalia&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;In the adult viewing section we used &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Dazza's&lt;/span&gt; huge t.v. with a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;dvd&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;vcr&lt;/span&gt; set-up lovingly loaned to us by Eric. The room was set-up with two beds, tons of pillows and a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;mountain&lt;/span&gt; of blankets. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Zimmy&lt;/span&gt;, the house bear, and Bunny were also in the adult section.&lt;br /&gt;As the movie ended we were invaded by the little ones who yelled protests about bed-time and pleas to join in the fun. We surrendered and found to our delight ourselves being read to about Tree House tales and then a magical musical about the turkey tango unfolding before our eyes. This caused us all to laugh until it hurt. One of the actors started to get a bit too &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;boisterous&lt;/span&gt; so mom quickly diverted the show to the bathroom for &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;teeth brushing&lt;/span&gt; and night time potty duties. After a misunderstanding and a quick meltdown, we settled on one game of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;UNO&lt;/span&gt; and an end to our amazing movie night.&lt;br /&gt;Jude, Dazza, and Lea played while Judith watched in support. After many oscillating rounds of play and after D&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;azza&lt;/span&gt; attempted to win by &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;acquiring&lt;/span&gt; all of the cards, Jude &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;reigned&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;supreme&lt;/span&gt; by bolding calling &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;UNO&lt;/span&gt; and winning the game by laying down a red 7 onto the standing green 7.
