A Miraculous Story One of the MANY miraculous stories to share took place on a sunny afternoon in a tiny town near Tokyo, Japan. First of all, the foundation of the Japanese culture is respect.

Since Toe Reading opens up the discussion of the soul and a person’s life path, releasing this way of life is vital. As KC read the toes of about 30 Japanese women and a few men, built up emotions poured out of these souls. The use of aromatherapy combined with Toe Reading was also especially fascinating.

Urban Farming Is A Thriving Industry! According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Urban and peri-urban farms already supply food to about 700 million city dwellers — one-quarter of the world’s urban population — and nearly all of the world’s population growth between now and 2030 will be concentrated in urban areas in developing countries, so that by then almost 60% of people in developing countries will live in cities. With this rapid growth in our cities, farming in and around urban areas needs to play a bigger role in feeding city populations. Involves using small plots such as vacant lots, gardens or roof tops in the city for growing crops. Can take many forms, from small “microfarms” to larger operations. Can also involve animal husbandry, aquaculture, agroforestry and horticulture. Is generally practiced for income-earning or food-producing activities, contributing to food security and food safety.
