Testimonial of the Month:
One nurses story...
“I was in downtown Olympia to pick up some things at Radiance Herbs. It was a beautiful day with people walking around. I parked in a nearby parking lot. As I left my car, I was approached by two panhandlers, who asked me for money. I told them I didn’t have any money to give them and one of them walked away. The second man, however, started pacing me shoulder to shoulder as I walked toward my destination, muttering under his breath. As we approached the stop light he began to get loud and really foul things were coming out of his mouth. At this point, I was afraid. As I stood there I recalled instantly what we had been taught in the seminar. I squared my shoulders, turned to him, and in my loudest voice yelled, ‘Go AWAY or I am going to call the cops!!!” He slunk away without another word. I got to Radiance and stood in the doorway and shook for awhile. Then all of a sudden, a good feeling came over me as I realized, ‘Oh my goodness, this stuff really works!’”

2 (3 ounce) packages strawberry flavored gelatin mix
1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice

In a large saucepan, combine sugar, water, and strawberry flavored gelatin. Boil for 3 minutes. Stir in pineapple juice, lemon juice, and orange juice. Divide mixture in half, and freeze in 2 separate containers(I like to use sturdy gallon zipper bags).

Safety Tip of the Month:
We've talked a lot about self defense for women. But many of you may have not considered roadside safety.
Please ladies, don't become a victim by being unprepared or uneducated. Opening your trunk for strangers, or putting full trust in them will get you into a bigger fix. Many of you say,"but I've got a cell phone". Cell phones go out of range at times, and cannot be relied on solely. Practice changing a tire. Practice using jumper cables. Knowledge is power that you control.
