Ray Wallace and Judy Garland

Ray Wallace and Judy Garland

Ray Bolger was born Raymond Wallace Bolger on January 10th, 1904 in Dorchester, Massachusetts. He worked in the broadway and film industries from 1922-1985, but he is best known for one role, Scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz.
This clip is from an episode of “The Judy Garland Show” that aired on March 1st, 1964 and featured Ray Bolger as a guest. Ray and Judy looked back on the film, and their memories of making it together. Everyone is always remembering the negative aspects about the production of Oz, but when I see clips like this, I remember how much love there was amongst the cast, despite the challenges on set. They loved the film and the story then, as much as we do today. I’ll leave you with this quote from Ray Bolger to start your day, as it’s one of my favorites…
“I was brought up on the books of The Wizard of Oz and my mother told me that these were great philosophies. It was a very simple philosophy, that everybody had a heart, that everybody had a brain, that everybody had courage. These were the gifts that are given to you when you come on this earth, and if you use them properly, you reach the pot at the end of the rainbow. And that pot of gold was a home. And home isn’t just a house or an abode, its people, people who love you and that you love. That’s a home.” – Ray Bolger, 1964

Vaccine Damage Silenced

Vaccine Damage Silenced

Something historic happened in the U.S. Senate today (10 Sept 2025).

For the first time, the unpublished vaccine safety analysis from the Henry Ford birth cohort known as the Wayne County Health, Environment, Allergy, and Asthma Longitudinal Study (WHEALS) was read into the congressional record.

This study tracked 18,468 children from birth to 10 years old and has been cited in many peer-reviewed, published papers on asthma, allergies, and the microbiome… but the data where researchers compared vaccinated vs. unvaccinated outcomes, those results were never published in a medical journal, or even submitted for peer review.

Here’s what the study revealed:
• At 10 years old, only 43% of vaccinated children were still free of chronic illness, compared with 83% of unvaccinated children.
• Vaccinated kids were far more likely to develop asthma, autoimmune disease, atopic disease, and neurodevelopmental disorders.
• And in this cohort, ADHD, learning disabilities, and tics were not found at all in the unvaccinated group.
Reported increases in the vaccinated population: asthma (+329%), autoimmune (+496%), atopic (+203%), neurodevelopmental (+453%).

That means the majority of unvaccinated children in this study remained healthy over a decade of life, while the majority of vaccinated children did not.

Sometimes studies get buried not because they’re wrong… but because they’re inconvenient… career suicide… that or the findings could stand in the way of billions in profit.

Affected mothers didn’t need a study to tell us this… we already knew.

Elizabeth Packard

Elizabeth Packard

In 1860, Elizabeth Packard was a wife and mother of six when her husband did the unthinkable: he had her committed to an asylum.

Not because she was violent. Not because she was unstable. But because she questioned his strict religious views.

At the time in Illinois, a husband could institutionalize his wife without trial, evidence, or her consent. And inside the asylum, Elizabeth discovered the horrifying truth: many of the women locked away were not “insane” at all. They were wives who resisted, daughters who defied, women who refused to be silent.

Elizabeth did not break. She wrote in secret, observed carefully, and waited for her chance.

After three long years, she stood before a jury, defended her right to her own thoughts — and won.

But she didn’t stop there. Elizabeth published her story, exposed wrongful confinement, lobbied lawmakers, and helped change the laws so no woman could so easily be silenced again.

Elizabeth Packard’s courage cost her nearly everything, but it gave countless women the protection she herself had been denied.

Keyhole Garden Bed

Keyhole Garden Bed

A keyhole garden is the ultimate sustainable method of growing your food. A keyhole garden should reduce the need for watering and feeding your plants.

It’s called a keyhole garden because from above it looks like the shape of a keyhole with the channel in the circular bed left to provide access to the permeable compost heap.

There are lots of variations of a Keyhole Bed, but this is how I do it.

Keyhole gardening originated in Lesotho, in Southern Africa for growing food crops. In regions where the soil was too impoverished to grow food, they created raised beds with a central, permeable compost.

The theory is that the compost leaches out into the soil, feeding plants and reducing the need for watering. It is called a keyhole garden because the raised bed is shaped like a keyhole, with a central walkway (cleft) which enables you to reach the compost heap in the centre.

Keyhole gardening is great for dry arid conditions and droughts and can be used to combat climate change. It is also useful for improving food security.
