If There Is A God Why Do So
Many Bad Things Happen?

Curator: Hive account@kenistyles - This mornings curation read has been full of wonder and incredible writers. However River stands out to me with this post as one I enjoy provocative perspectives and secondly I found myself compelled to add some thoughts that in turn unraveled what could have been it's own post. Anyway the topic is god and how we perceive the concept of this omnipresent consciousness, the labels and the interpretations of good and bad in the eyes of the "most loving". What I love most about Rivers writing is that she allows so much space and respect for all others belife and faith, while opening herself and hers up to the reader. She is a careful and inspiring writer, I feel we would all take away some greater innerstanding of self simply sitting with this post and ruminating with it over a pot of tea. Enjoy 🙏

Curator: Hive account@kenistyles - This post has so many wins woven throughout that it's a pleasure to curate. First Artemis tells us a valuable story about her hurdles to produce environmentally conscious products while maintaining her happy consumer base in the natural health, beauty and well-being industry. She inspires us to realize the benefits of building her business on the blockchain. Through transparency and open communication, relationship marketing is taken to the next level. This looks like a great opportunity to catapult her existing business into a successful digital enterprise. I'm happy to see a ethical and environmentally conscious woman and mother leading the way on Steemit!

Curator:Hive account@karinxxl - In this story our buddy River explains on how they are cutting out garlic from their diet, because of the sensitivity her partner has for it. She explains how FODMAP is helping them getting rid of the belly issues, but that doesn't mean getting rid of your favorite cooking friend is easy!

Curator: Hive account@riverflows - We all know chocolate has to be good for us, right? Right? Well Rachel goes a step further here and gushes about CACAO, which is a whole new ballgame. Did you know that one of the key chemicals in cacao is called anandadine, which is the Sanskrit name for bliss? This author not only outlines the medical benefits, but describes the magic of a sacred cacao ceremony.

Curator: Hive account@artemislives - Cognitive dissonance is a big one! It can sabotage so much when we are unaware, and leads to procrastination, depression and 'failure' in the outer world (if indeed one believes in failure). Sam provides us with simple tools to help ourselves - to see-hear-feel the dissonance and work with it. As we smooth-soothe ourselves into alignment of thoughts, feelings & actions, everything FLOWS. Sam's work adds to much value to our convoluted and contradictory world. Grateful for this post and countless others he has created to help inspire and teach.
