Our Hygiene Homestead in The Woods now is, I held
tight to the God-given vision for the property and its use. I pictured
Health Seekers visiting who would make maximum use of Our Homestead to
get the maximum good for their time and money
here! I pictured Health
Seekers who would appreciate all of my 10 years of efforts to provide an
absolutely wonderful and
life-enhancing experience! I pictured Health
Seekers embracing the back-to-nature theme and getting a kick out of
my
"Wilderness Woman" approach! I pictured Health Seekers living and
learning in the spirit of love and kindness
and generosity and
appreciation and delight and awe of nature and adventure for learning
about Natural Hygiene and
enthusiasm and FUN! FUN! FUN! I even pictured
them getting a kick out of The HighJoy Horse and how he lives
so close
to nature and The 10 Energy Enhancers.
When Mary Horvath entered my life
last October, she brought an endless string of gifts from God to me that
I have used
to help Health Seekers. In December, Mary hauled the 3
pound+ 2 BOOKS IN 1: THE HEALTH SEEKERS' YEARBOOK WITH
THE BEST OF
COMMON HEALTH SENSE to Hawaii during her family vacation. I was
honored to see this big book made it
into her suitcase! While there on
the beach, she was so taken by "The Superlative Alternative of Natural
Hygiene" that
we phoned each other back and forth so that she would have
7 sets of the 2 BOOKS IN 1 plus sample seasonings
and many of
the raw bars from "The Great & Yummy GetWell Edibles" waiting for
her after coming home to make
Christmas packages for loved ones! Then
Mary booked herself for a 30-day visit to Our Hygiene Homestead in The
Woods
for a detox and physical tune-up and time for fasting and prayer. Already
dozens of loved ones have learned about
Natural Hygiene through Mary's
love. Since her daughter is a new medical doctor, thousands more will
learn
about Natural Hygiene or be touched by its foundational teachings
in some way. Two of her loved ones booked
for this spring and summer.
And the goodness just goes on and on.
Mary Horvath is the epiphany guest -- the reason I put in all those 10 years of work, work, work.
Originally, I had named Our Hygiene
Homestead in The Woods "GOD'S GUESTHOUSE."
Today, I look at all Health Seekers
who visit as gifts from God.
It is my calling to help all who come in whatever ways I can.
It is such a pleasure to have Health Seekers
come here to live and learn.
As for Mary? It has been such a joy
to watch her revel in Washington's spring offerings!
The truth be known, she has
done much more for me than I for her!
Last Monday, we headed out for The
Seattle Airport in "Black Beauty."
This is a rather new PT Cruiser I was forced
to get because I could not keep my older Ford trucks running.
And Mary
handed me her write-up. It was pure poetry!
I broke the imagery into
stanzas and added a little rhyming and alliteration. We share Mary's
Story with you now.
to HighJoy...
and to... My Hygiene Homestead in the Woods
I will miss the awesome, heart-stopping, glorious beauty -- of your Pacific Northwest,
Your fresh and pure gift-from-God mountain air, simply the best!
I will miss your majestic, snow-capped, free-rambling mountains,
Your streams tumbling down through the woods as free-falling fountains!
I will miss your ever-so-green -- "Christmas Trees Everywhere,"
Your green maples and green ferns and green meadows, so rich and so rare!
I will miss the bursting-forth flowers like soft-petaled fireworks -- wherever my eyes look,
From High's bright-yellow lunch dandelions to the purple clover dinner buds he need not cook!
I will miss the fragrant blossoms that turn trees into big pastel snowballs -- showing not one green leaf,
From white apples and pears and prunes to pink cherry blossoms, abundant beyond belief!
I will miss the sweet-smelling flowers -- lavender lilac and the tiny, rosy daisies big as my thumbs,
From the white, winnowing dogwoods to the Washington State Flower red rhododendrons!
I will miss the rolling, green rivers and tranquil, blue lakes -- and all that in these pristine Cascades abide,
From the protected, huge, grand elk to the smaller, sweet deer, just along for the ride!
I will miss the coyote, the squirrels, raccoons, possums -- and the beaver,
From their howlings and scurryings to their food-gatherings and washings so eager!
I will miss the grand birds of the air -- hawks, hooting owls, and the soaring American Bald Eagle,
From the chirping dawn-birds happy for a new day to their afternoon songs of praise so regal!
I will miss the peace and calm and refreshment -- that comes here with each day,
From the back-to-nature garden to The Guesthouse that made up my fine stay!
I will miss skies star-studded -- each so very bright like a diamond jewel,
From the Homestead front porch they are seen as the heavens they rule.
I will miss watching each night -- the waning then waxing of the high moon,
From the slim, slight crescent to its 28th night fullest and brightest so soon!
I will miss the warm coziness of my private spot -- in The Eagle's Nest,
From my 21 fasting days spent in leisure... sunning, reading, praying, sleeping, and deep rest!
I will miss my tangelo-&-cashew best drink -- and all the adventures that come with this place,
From our surprise outings upriver to your generosity of heart to your ever-smiling face!
I will miss you, My Wilderness Woman -- your visits and "The Best-Ever Bear Hugs" delivered each day,
From your energetic exuberance to your Correct Natural Hygiene commitment showing me the way!
I will miss HighJoy, -- whose name translates to "High on Life -- Let Me Show You The Way!"
From living back-to-nature, he performs "The 10 Energy Enhancers" and in the sun loves to lay!
I will miss this gorgeous mascot epitome of "Natural Health" -- for us all,
From us over-technologized, over-civilized, over-electronified Health Seekers, he has had a great fall!
I will miss his playful, smart image enduring for me -- of Nature's finest, homestead-grown horse,
From his jumping for fragrant, fresh-picked grasses to our deeply delivered butt-scratches, of course!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
"Deer" Wilderness Woman & The HighJOY Horse!
I will never forget you and the way were we.
A life-changing has been accomplished in me.
I am far better now than before visiting your place,
From living at this slowed-down, time-warped Homestead in The Woods' pace!
So enriched am I by my 30-day retreat in your loving embrace!
Happy Trails to You until We Meet Again...
With love and gratitude and blessings to you!
