Hello everyone!

I know you guys get my Healthy Junk posts through this platform, so I’m sure you saw my post on Castor Oil about a month ago (if you don’t remember, take a look at it here).

Sometimes, it takes a while for information to sink into our brains. Especially now that there is soooo much coming from TV, Internet, and unknown voices that whisper some how into our psyches. When I got this information, I was a little peeved…only because I’m mad I didn’t get this sooner.

I’ll go in my chronological order, even though this is not the order of events in this story. I want to go with my own order so that you can see my thinking process and how sometimes, learning things later can really help your awareness to grow…
