Christmas Angels Aren’t the Only Gig in Town

FREE Produce Cooperative Exchange!



Tis the season of angels, they touch our hearts with beautiful dreams.  They remind us to reach high into the stars and hold on with faith…they tell us to believe.

The Garden Angels of Long Beach and surrounding cities do the same!  We share peace, good will, and good health; from deep within our soils, we extract treasures of the earth and exchange from hand to hand and home to home.

Last weekend we exchanged an abundance of fresh goodness:  Two delicious varieties of Grapefruits, Tangerines, two types of Limes, Avocados, White Guava, Kale, Swiss Chard, Arugula, Green Onions, Cabbage and Peppers!  And
of course it wouldn’t be a holiday season Exchange without a Santa gifting us
with several flats and varieties of produce seedlings ready for this seasons’ planting!

There’s beauty and magic in the sweet waves of angel wings that fly by and greet us each and every day without us even knowing or acknowledging them.  They do it out of pure joy and love; they bring messages through the music we hear and the treasures we hold dear.   But when you see a fruit-bearing tree reaching tall into the ever-expanding sky, or enjoy a fresh leaf from an herb bush; a root veggie pulled out from the depth of the ground, think of the Garden Angels!  Our wings may carry a little dirt upon them, our frequencies felt from the bottom up and upside down; but our love is felt and heard through the land, and therefore throughout the Earth itself.  We are the Garden Angels!  We supportive sustainable living!  We support and love the Earth!  We are eco-friendly and forward and we send the loving vibrations of our hearts through our fingertips and into the mouths of others. 

There are many more varieties of angels in this world, too many to count I’m sure of it!  So whatever kind of angel YOU are, just remember tis the season of Angels ~ be 100% of your truthful, loving, authentic, divine self…it will be a gift of the present this Xmas! 

If you’d like to join the Garden Angels Produce Cooperative Exchange which takes place monthly, just send me an email to GardenAngelsCooperative@yahoo.com

Until then, on the wings and waves of the Universe, I wish each
and every one of you a very Happy Holiday!

Long Beach Police Commander Jay Johnson is now the 3-year chief of the Newport Beach departmentRead More described by Orange County media as, "Police Department Management Is a Cesspool of Adultery, Lies & Retaliation Against Honest Officers." http://blogs.ocweekly.com/navelgazing/2012/07/newport_beach_police_departmen.php

Perhaps Ruehle should learn just a little more about all the things the Auditor's Office *does* do,Read More before whining and complaining about all of the things it doesn't. http://www.cityauditorlauradoud.com/office-of-the-auditor.shtml Beyond routinely identifying many areas of waste, fraud, and abuse in City government, the Auditor's office conducts a great deal of non audit-related services each year. Ruehle's comments seem to connote a belief that City Auditor Doud is somehow responsible for investigating and reporting on every bad decision the Council makes or every instance of questionable affiliation found throughout City government. She is not and even if she were, Long Beach taxpayers do not provide her with sufficient resources to do so. Despite that Ms. Doud is, herself, a citywide elected official, and despite her office's consistently excellent work-product, she can only fact-find and report her findings. Beyond her own office, she has no authority to mandate changes in the way other City officials conduct the people's business. Since her initial election in 2006, Ms. Doud's office has uncovered -and reported upon- millions and millions of dollars worth of fraud, waste, and abuse in City government. That's not sufficient for Ruehle who, despite all his complaints, will never consider running for that office himself and showing us all how much better *he* could do.

"...this article is saying that the fact that the city of Long Beach extorts millions ofRead More dollars from its residents in the form of RIDICULOUS parking tickets and charges outrageous fines for them is to be applauded?" No. There is actually nothing in this article that says that but please enjoy these lovely parting gifts.

What has City Auditor Laura Doud done since her re-election other than support anything wanted byRead More Foster & Delong. Maybe people should ask: 1. Why didn't Doud audit the city's transaction where city owned valuable port property was exchanged for swamp land? There certainly was enough controversy about the value of each asset. Wasn't it her job as the taxpayer's representative to look into it? 2. Why didn't Doud audit the amount of taxpayer's money used to support the 2nd & PCH project and the Home Depot project before that. The city was supposed to be compensated by the Developers for ALL of their costs, including meeting costs. However, that is NOT what happened. Millions of taxpayer's dollars where gifted to certain politically connected developers. 3. Why hasn't Doud audited the $1 dollar per year no-bid contracts of valuable city taxpayer owned ocean front property to the Long Beach Yacht Club, Alamitos Bay Yacht Club and other exclusive members only clubs for the wealthy and politically connected do determine what the value of an alternative use might be? 4. Why hasn't Doud audited the exclusive, no-bid, for-profit lease of city owned waterfront property to Steve Conley's and John Hancock's BANCAP company that has made those two men tremendously wealthy at the expense of Long Beach taxpayers? Doud started out with a bang when first elected. Since then, she has been a crony for anything Foster and DeLong related.
