It's just another part of me.....

Yes, I have many facets, and many faces. But, the face I put on at home is farmer. :) I just absolutely love my animals, and I enjoy spending time with them. Around my house, you will see chickens, roosters, turkeys, and goats all crowding around me. (they really just want food). It's my version of Snow White! hehehe. I'm trying to train the chipmunks around here, but, they haven't caught up yet. :)

I just got a new baby turkey, and I don't have any video of her yet, but, she is a little cuddle bug! I never thought a turkey would be that affectionate, but, she is. Any time she gets the chance, she jumps in my lap and falls asleep. "Are you my mother?".
Love,
Jackie

This one's for you Cindy !!

Hilarious Video on Honesty!

My favorite part is the guy in the background. This video is a classic!! Hopefully, I don't need to explain to you why this is so funny, but, when I posted it on myspace, quite a few people didn't get it. Maybe they just don't have my sense of humor!! ;)

Dirt And Health

This is what I've been telling people for YEARS! Now, finally, a scientist is confirming it. It's only common sense people! Come ON!!!

WASHINGTON - Science has provided the souped-up seeds to feed the world, through biotechnology and old-fashioned crossbreeding. Now the problem is the dirt they're planted in.

As seeds get better, much of the world's soil is getting worse and people are going hungry. Scientists say if they can get the world out of the economically triggered global food crisis, better dirt will be at the root of the solution.

Soils around the world are deteriorating with about one-fifth of the world's cropland considered degraded in some manner. The poor quality has cut production by about one-sixth, according to a World Resources Institute study. Some scientists consider it a slow-motion disaster.

Most would rather die

It's really unfortunate from what I've seen of many people out there. They would rather die than change their way of thinking, or change their eating habits. I watched a good friend of mine die of lung cancer. He had one lung taken out already, yet he still refused to stop smoking. His breakfast every morning was orange juice and vodka, first thing in the morning. He refused to change, and it was very painful for me to watch him die. But, as the old saying goes, you can't help those who don't help themselves.

So, I simply put the information out there, and hope that people are willing to take their own health and well being into their own hands. My parents have always thought that I was obsessed over health. My mom asked me, "Just how long do you want to live, anyways?". My response is this, "It doesn't matter to me how long I live, it's the quality of life while I'm alive." I have friends who do take their health into their hands. One woman is in her 60's and she is DAMN HOT!!! She is in great shape, and she can run circle's around most 30 year olds I know. She was willing to make her health her own responsibility by becoming informed. I want to be in great shape, with a clear mind until the day I die.

Don't watch this video if you are not willing to take responsibility for your life.

The Invitation

THE INVITATION..


It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.


It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
for love, for your dream,
for the adventure of being alive.


It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow,
if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed
from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own,
without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.


I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own,
if you can dance with wildness
and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic,
to remember the limitations of being human.


It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself;
if you can hear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul;
if you can be faithless
and therefore trustworthy.


I want to know if you can see beauty,
even when it's not pretty, every day,
and if you can source your own life
from it's presence.


I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine,
and still stand on the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
"YES!"


It doesn't interest me
to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up,
after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone,
and do what needs to be done to feed the children.



It doesn't interest me who you know
or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
in the center of the fire with me
and not shrink back.


It doesn't interest me where or
what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you, from the inside,
when all else falls away.


I want to know if you can be alone with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.
