Planting Seeds
Copyright 2006 Mike Pniewski
I was having coffee with a director friend of mine and we were talking about how business was going.
He has been very busy with a good stream of projects coming his way.
I told him that things were a little slow for me but I was using that time to try some new ideas to spread the news about my speaking business.
To that he responded, "Oh, so you're just planting seeds right now." "Yes," I said, "I'm planting seeds."
That assessment of my current pursuit really stuck with me after we left.
I had been harvesting a lot in recent months while I was taking full advantage of work that had come my way.
But once things slow down, we all can forget that our "crops" need to be replanted in order to reap another great harvest.

Some people with asthma have had allergic reactions to psyllium and the powder from psyllium can cause an asthma attack.Some you may be allergic to psyllium. If you are, you may become constipated or develop dark areas under your eyes.Psyllium is the fiber part of seed husks from plantain. It is high in a soluble fiber that is called mucilage, so it absorbs water and becomes bulky. It contains almost no insoluble fiber, yet it acts like it has both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Stomach enzymes do not easily breakdown psyllium, so it moves into your colon like insoluble fiber. Psyllium fiber acts on your colon relieving constipation.In your colon, psyllium activates peristaltic action and helps to clean your colon of any stagnation that has occurred there. By adding moisture to dry hard fecal matter, psyllium helps to move fecal matter through your colon. As psyllium seeds bulk up in your colon, they push against your colon walls...
