A message from Cate Montana about the film Water. Made by one of the creators of "What The Bleep Do We Know?", Betsy Chasse.

Here's a brief summary of the movie-

We fill our coffee mugs, sports bottles, and swimming pools with it. We use it in manufacturing, rely on it for hydropower, and for cooling nuclear reactors. We wash the car, the house, the dog, and the dishes with it. Water is the most mysterious and vital substance on Earth. But it’s obvious from the way we treat it that we don’t really get the vital importance of this deeply exploited resource.

The film Water, however, just might shift our indifference. Through a series of interviews with leading water researchers from Russia, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Israel, the USA, Britain, Austria, Japan, Argentina, China and Tibet, Water brings the extraordinary properties and life-enhancing qualities of H2O to life. It also provides cogent proof that water is a living substance. Kirlean photography and other spectrographic analyses reveal that water’s energy can be destroyed, not only through pollution, but also through the way we treat and deliver it. Forcing water through metal and plastic pipes curtails water’s natural eddying, spiraling flow and breaks down its life force. Distillation, ozonation, chlorine and other processes destroy its life-giving properties. The “purified” water that fills those plastic bottles we buy is essentially dead. Plants watered exclusively with processed bottled water eventually wither away and die.

Water examines research giving scientific credibility to such deeply criticized healing modalities as homeopathy. It also highlights the work of people like Aloise Gruber, Chzan Guohua, and Masaru Emoto, who have been researching water’s ability to absorb energetic impressions from a wide variety of sources, such as words, prayer, meditation, or electronic frequencies.Water challenges historical assumptions, and unveils applications of structured water in agriculture, and the use of impressed water in treatment for the most serious of human diseases. The film even cites research that suggests water has the ability to convey messages faster than light, perhaps linking water with the realms of the Absolute.

One of the most important documentaries of our time, Water is a must-see for anyone who is concerned about health and the future of life on planet Earth.

Happy St. Patricks Day Cupcakes, and Easter ones too!

Happy St. Patricks Day! I made these cupcakes today to celebrate St. Patricks Day. They are pistachio cupcakes with pistachio frosting and little four leaf clovers I made out of fondant.

These cupcakes I made for Frederick on his birthday a few weeks ago. They are carrot cake, (one of his favorites) with spiced cream cheese frosting.

And since it's St. Patricks Day, here's an Irish Blessing, A Wish For A Friend.

Wishing you a rainbow

For sunlight after showers—

Miles and miles of Irish smiles

For golden happy hours—

Shamrocks at your doorway

For luck and laughter too,

And a host of friends that never ends

Each day your whole life through

Lime Pie, Lemon Buttermilk Cookies and More!

Spring officially starts March 20Th this year, but it sure feels like it's here already. The weather here has been beautiful. The growing season has started and I'm excited to begin working on our garden. I adore having all kinds of fresh herbs on hand. And roses, how I love my roses! Being able to cut fresh flowers feels like such a luxury. My father has given me some dahlia bulbs, and I'm excited to get them planted and growing.

Here are some goodies I made during Blue College in February for our guests. An old fashioned Lime Pie . A very simple, easy and traditional recipe. Tart with a wonderful lime flavor topped with sweetened whipped cream to bring some sweetness to the equation. We had enchiladas for dinner so the lime pie for dessert was a nice finish.

These are Lemon Buttermilk Cookies. Adapted from this recipe. I also added some lemon juice to the frosting and increased the zest for a stronger lemon flavor. They are delicious and have a cake like texture. Perfect with afternoon tea!

A beautiful rainbow I saw recently nearby.

Eckhart Tolle's, "A New Earth" on Oprah's Book Club, And Live Web Event!

Best-selling author and spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle has been inspiring readers since he wrote the number one New York Times best-seller The Power of Now. His current book, A New Earth, is the current read for Oprah's book club and a new Live Web Event every Monday night for the next 10 weeks starting March 3rd.

Quoting Oprah.com "Get ready to be awakened! Oprah and author Eckhart Tolle will teach an exclusive online class about his best-selling book A New Earth. Join us every Monday night."

I invite you to join Oprah and myself in our weekly online sessions. We will be studying A New Earth, but not as an academic subject or in order to acquire new theories or beliefs. Our aim is to explore through the teachings of the book the most important question you can ask: What is the purpose of my life and how do I fulfill that purpose? It will be a course in self-exploration and awakening. It will help you see what the dysfunctional patterns are within yourself that create unnecessary conflict and suffering and prevent you from finding true fulfillment. Hopefully, it will also help you access a dimension within yourself that perhaps you didn't know existed or only caught glimpses of on rare occasions. Don't be trapped for the rest of your life within the narrow confines of your personal history and your conditioned personality and allow your life to be transformed from within, through the power of consciousness itself. —Eckhart Tolle
