The Wisdom and Peace of the Teachings of the Tao Te Ching

written by

Matthew Barnes

Most people are always trying to better themselves or even to find their true selves. This book and many other in the same category can help you do that. For me I just like to read and gain a closer walk with God. 

This book really is the same chapter after chapter just said in a different way. Some people need to hear things over and over again in order to learn. Something will click and they will say I got, I understand now, etc. 

Although this book never really refers to God or the like I find myself referring it to God because for me he is a big thing in my life. If you are interested in healing, moving forward, while learning this book may be for you.

About Tao TeChing
The Tao Te Ching has been interpreted many times and by many authors. This translation is not a strict line-by-line translation, but is instead an attempt to express the SPIRIT of the Tao Te Ching- to present what Lao Tzu (the original author) was teaching in modern and simple language. As such, this translation becomes immediately applicable and relevant to people today. The Tao Te Ching is an ancient Chinese book of wisdom whose teachings can truly change your life, and how you see it. 

In this translation, written by a long time Tao Te Ching enthusiast, is a modern, simplified interpretation that will show you, in plain language: 

- What is really in charge of everything (and it’s not you). 
- How the Tides of Life work and how to let them work for you. 
- How to merge with Life instead of fighting fruitlessly against It. 
- How to avoid suffering (it has to do with preferences and divisions). 
- How to find your true home, carry it with you at all times, and stay safe within it. 
- How to stay safe, no matter how hard the winds of Life **** around you. 
- How to handle almost every situation Life throws at you. 
- What real strength is and which kind endures.

Can your shower get better?

We live in a pretty old house so I filter our drinking water to make sure we aren't getting lead just in case. We have a well outside of our home which we rent, although I have not actually tested the water, I have this big thing about tasting the water where we will live and so far our water tastes great.

We do however have hard water which really plays havoc with our shower heads, coffee makers, and the like. So far we have found that the Ava Water filter works well although I had doubted it would work because of how the filter hooks up.

Others have said they have tested before and after and have seen no difference but of course we were only looking for the hard water to be less harsh which so far we have had good results, I would recommend this for hard water alone, the difference is in that I haven't had to replace my shower head like we usually do.

Premium Pet Odor & Stain Removal Spray

With owning pets comes smells and messes just like having children. We have one Kitty who is a male that likes to leave his mark. They say getting him fixed will do the trick, well his days are numbered before we find out if it works or not.

On top of him we have his mother and three sisters as well as our Saint Bernard and our daughters Samoa. My husband is currently looking for a ferret for me. What a lover. I would love to have chickens but will have to check with our landlord first.

OK back to the stains and smells. Every now and then with having so many animals and a busy family life there is an accident that ends up on the rugs. Luckily with Odor and Stain remover as well as our steam cleaner for the most part we are able to stay on top of things. A quality stain and odor remover is hard to find. I have had the pleasure of working with some awesome companies including Cute and Cuddly that offer great products that do what they say they will do, which makes cleaning that much more pleasant.

What I thought was really great about Cute & Cuddly is that the spray also deters from the animal returning to the area to remark it which is A OK with me.

MarksvilleandMe

Sponsored by

Made From Earth

Most people including myself want to protect or body, soul, and mind from damage. Usint Made from earth Vitamin C moisturizer is a great way to protect your skin which is in the elements everyday of the year. Made from Earth is Organic, holistic, and healthy. This is lightly earth scented moisturizer that helps defend all types of skin with the power of vitamin C.

For those with dry skin you can use daily like me, or for those who have oily skin do the every other day thing. One thing my mother always reminded me to get was enough Vitamin C while growing up. I know for a while the Dr. had me on supplements, although I am not sure why I was little and of course both my mother and that Dr. have been long gone for many years, so asking why is not an option.

All I know is that I try to make sure I have Vitamin C in the foods I eat each day as well as making sure my children who still live at home get their supply as well. It just might be one of the reasons why I look younger then I am. I had someone tell me last night that most of the time I look younger then my girls, as in they usually don't get Id'd while I do.

Now for the Giveaway

One lucky MarksvilleandMe reader will win their very own jar of Made from Earth Organic Vitamin C Daily Moisturizer value of $39.00. Open to USA residents only from 4/27/2015 - 4/30/2015 12:00AM Est.
