The Four Agreements

BE IMPECCABLE WITH YOUR WORD
Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.


DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.

DON'T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.


ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse, and regret.

Oh they loved these too!

* 3/4 cup hot water
* 1/3 cup margarine
* 1/2 cup powdered milk

Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

Ok these where strange they where way to soft to roll out. I added more flour; I added wheat flour and still made them into "cookies" because it was to soft to roll out. They smelled just like peanut butter cookies while baking, they are softer treats but the dogs loved them any way!

* 1 ½ cups water
* ½ cup oil
* 2 eggs
* 3 tablespoons peanut butter
* 2 tsp. vanilla
* 2 cups flour
* ½ cup cornmeal
* ½ cup oats

Blend wet ingredients together. Whisk dry ingredients together and mix into wet mixture to form a ball of dough. Roll out and shape. Put onto a non-stick cookie tray or lightly greased one. Cook 20 minutes at 400 F. Turn off oven and allow the biscuits to cool in oven until crisp and hard. Store in airtight container.

Ok... So yeas this is hitting the pagan list like look at this......... Wait... if you read the story this wiccan is saying that police are infringing on her religious beliefs. But her neighbors complained because she was disturbing them. They find her with headphones on singing around the fire...... Wearing just a t-shirt and underwear. What every well dressed wiccan will be wearing this summer ......

Guess what if you play your music to loud your neighbors can call the police and report you. Yea it may mean the neighbors are kinda freaked : Oh my Gawd there is a witch in the neighborhood... What? We all come from the goddess?? but then it could mean that your chants where too loud. Or maybe your singing was freaking them out even more........ We all know people like that...
