<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/L2vrbzyR18A" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I now truly realize how the application of permaculture principles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
into our lives is the key to not only happiness, but health, freedom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and possibly even future survival in the next few centuries.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sure...we can buy veg and fruit at the market,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but standing in the middle of your garden,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
surrounded by life that has been co-created by your hands and heart,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is something that just can't be labeled with a upc code.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/65X1f05z23c" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It goes so much deeper than healthy food.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its about the deep connection to the sacred through the cycles of life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its about true freedom...self-reliance, and knowing that you are HEALING </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
your personal spot on this very special planet we call home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Permaculture and the planting of FOOD FORESTS</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
will save the earth and feed every Earthling many times over.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By converting unused or formerly monocropped lands,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we can establish perennial food forests that will </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
feed us, save us money and energy compared to growing monocultures,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and make our world a much more magical place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I truly feel that it is the answer that can make everyone happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I was recently in Brasil and had the great opportunity to visit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
an organic coffee plantation 3 hours north of Sao Paolo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Walking through the forest, while being surrounded by coffee berries</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was truly an experience that made my soul sing. Its hard to describe.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UxYlC-B9TJQ" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rarely do Americans end up in Cape Town.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its a great place, with a reputation that may scare away some</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but overall an extremely pleasant place to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was there for 6 weeks, and although I was flown out there for modeling,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a main personal priority was to plant a food forest out there for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my new social initiative, "Grow Paradise". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It can be found at <a href="http://www.growparadise.com/">www.growparadise.com</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My talks and my writings have shifted from Raw Veganism</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to more ones more based on Permaculture and holistic living in general.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I feel that this approach is not only more realistic and sound,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but can actually attract the masses and keep them excited about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this new lifestyle and an entire new way to view life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Raw Veganism is extremely exclusive. Let's be honest.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Few people in our society would subscribe to it, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and perhaps its because they really shouldn't or at least don't really have to.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Rawmodel.com will keep having posts on it,<br />
and will still have the youtube channel of course,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but the passion and the mission is Grow Paradise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Soon I will be getting tote bags and organic t-shirts for this,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and will also be selling seeds and other related items again soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its a huge year for everything, and because the story is so perfect,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was able to help get this Cape Town Food Forest off the ground</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it all happened on Valentines Day. Too cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy the video - and please spread around if you'd like!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Im funding this with my own money and generous donations from others,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so even $1 or $5 helps! The "tip jar" is right on the main page of Grow Paradise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a project happening in Harlem in a few weeks,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I will be speaking there on "Career Day" April 4th about my story</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and how eating healthy, exercise, and green living has helped my career. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Projects and Retreats happening soon in Minnesota, Utah, Hawaii, New Jersey, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Arizona, Florida, California, and so much more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ill be speaking in London at the end of June as well, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so definitely stay in touch on FB.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(www.facebook.com/anthony.a.anderson)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(www.facebook.com/GrowParadise)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Big year...keep spreading the organic garden/food forest vibe!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It should be GROW Paradise...replant has a negative connotation to it in my opinion...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like we have to "fix" something...we are into full positive mode with GROW. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Much love! Keep spreading this spirit!!!!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My new friend, and Partner in Paradise, Camden Long</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
has taken co-creation into his own hands and decided to plant</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a food forest in the apartment complex he lives in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He asked his landlord if this was possible, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and luckily he received the go-ahead. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His direct action is so noteworthy...he just went for it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No townhall votes, no petitions...just planting paradise. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We need many more like this young man.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is a teacher in Orlando, Florida, and has seen first hand</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the need for REAL food and the paradise lifestyle in the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
community he lives and works in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is where we will see the change.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Signing online petitions is fine, and useful,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but things that Camden, myself, and many more are doing is what</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
will really create the change that sadly so many politicians hollowly promise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are some pics from last Sunday...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Camden and I planted about 10% of his total number of trees purchased.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trees he purchased HIMSELF. The man just went for it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He is taking this vision much further as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Incorporating it into a school project and applying for grants,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
his goal is 25,000 fruit trees in Florida. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keep your eyes on this young man! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The inspiration is spreading.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Creating Heaven on Earth. It is possible. </div>

Its a little too developed for my taste, but they did it</div>

And yes...the good grass fed dairy. This chunk of goodness</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
cost me about $3...dairy is tricky...you gotta go for quality or</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
otherwise you should really just skip it. Too many questions marks.</div>

I even harvested my own seaweeds and mussels on the beach the other</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
day and incorporated them into my scrambled eggs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What would that go for at a restaurant? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being involved in the harvesting and then preparation</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and finally the enjoyment of eating it...it really all makes </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it come full circle. I wonder if other people would even dream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of eating the seaweeds that cover these (very clean) beaches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is kelp EVERYWHERE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I see it for sale in the shops back home after this</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Values...so different. Im telling you though...the people here could</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
really use those sea veggies...its a grain-potato based diet for sure,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and besides the young people, you don't see too many fit people.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I try to go to the beach at least 3 times a week..often walking home</div>

past guava trees and busy restaurants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I see everyone eating in the restaurants and it makes me kind of bummed out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't like eating out alone...honestly Id rather just make it myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But when you see people eating out and having fun it definitely</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
does look appealing...Ive made friends here but its different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe im embellishing it all in my head.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perhaps a wild-food meal at home while watching discovery channel is </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in fact a richer experience...maybe they both have their upsides.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recently found a garden that Grow Paradise will be able</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to help as well...they are a group of people living on the land</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the suburbs in abandoned buildings...they are technically squatters</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but they have been there for so many years. They want to garden but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the willpower has been lacking. There are olive trees and fig trees there,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so Im thinking about putting in passionfruits, more figs, and whatever else</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is more native or at least drought tolerant. Thats the beauty of the trees,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they grow so much easier than tender veggies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
People think they have black thumbs when it comes to gardening,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but the fact is that they are growing very temperamental plants!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More to come....</div>

The Sunsets are amazing...and the beaches are absolutely </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
loaded with life...so much kelp and seashells.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The seashells actually replace the sand. It goes to show what</div>

Just a little exercise update. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been staying at home each night after sunset</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to make dinner and then work out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I watch National Geographic, The Discovery Channel,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BBC, and The Home Channel </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Some South African Version of HGTV)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and work do push ups and sit ups.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I havent been going out to eat much. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mostly cook at home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What have I been eating? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Biodynamic Yogurt, Sardines,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.sunwarrior.com/affiliate/idevaffiliate.php?id=376_11_1_9">Sunwarrior Vanilla Powder</a>, Coconut Oil,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Avocadoes, Cape Gooseberries, Kerrygold butter,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and nori sheets I brought from home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are lots of good places to get groceries though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its a very low sugar diet - and it WORKS.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ive had very little fruit, and honestly I just dont want much</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of it besides the occasional mango or papaya.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For Groceries, my favorite is "The Wellness Warehouse".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are ever in Cape Town...GO THERE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on a Sunday but what a view! I walked at least 5 miles and every</div>

it feels safe, its pretty, and the people are nice.</div>

There are still remnants of racism here in a way...mostly just class based now.</div>

I would have thought that by now finding coconuts and other wild edibles</div>

Being grounded on the wet sand and connected</div>

I wouldnt really go back to Punta Cana...it was beautiful and the</div>

beaches were really nice, but there are so many other places to see in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The magic just wasnt there like I thought...it could have been because</div>

of where we stayed or the overall atmosphere, but it was still a </div>

wonderful place to disconnect and enjoy the fresh wind of the ocean</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I sat in the sauna for 30 minutes with my ice cold bottle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of spring water from Cold Spring Harbor and then had my massage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love it when places have Saunas...its such a treat and I always</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
try to take advantage...the heat relaxes my body before </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the massage too so it really adds to the whole experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I met <a href="http://spaceforwellness.com/space-for-wellness/drjoe/">Dr Joe</a> (founder of the SFW) thru <a href="http://www.organicavenue.com/">Organic Avenue</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and he invited me to have a chat with him over some fresh</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
coconut water...I found him to be a really down to earth guy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that is truly a warrior for healing and clean eating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He asked me to write an article for them, and I gladly agreed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It can be found <a href="http://spaceforwellness.com/2011/12/13/sugar-pumpkin-soup/">HERE.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did a quick interview with Dr Joe that I am working on now,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it should be up in a day or two. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you are living in NYC or are going to be in the city anytime soon,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd highly recommend visiting this oasis in the concrete jungle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll completely forget that youre in a city.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved the "no shoe" policy too! Genius!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Masterpieces of Frederic Back<div style="text-align: center;">Two Works of Frederic Back...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Both so enlightening.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Both truly masterpieces.</div><div style="text-align: center;">One shows the destruction that many men can do.</div><div style="text-align: center;">One shows the pure positive creation that one man can do. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I highly encourage you to see them both.</div><div style="text-align: center;">They are both wonderful and need to be shared with all.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The man that created these drew every single frame including</div><div style="text-align: center;">the backgrounds...tens of thousands of drawings to show us such</div><div style="text-align: center;">powerful stories...you can purchase his whole collection on Amazon <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Planted-Trees-DVD/dp/B0006UF7NY/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1317128131&sr=1-1">HERE.</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">He actually drew 200,000(!!!)

center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">(low audio...you might want headphones for this one)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">An important lesson here is the power of consciousness.</div><div style="text-align: center;">One conscious man was able to do SO MUCH positivity.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It took tens of thousands of unconscious men to pillage the St Lawrence,</div><div style="text-align: center;">but it only took one conscious man to create a forest.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Think about that...the power of a conscious soul that is active.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It greatly outshadows the unconscious destruction that may surround</div><div style="text-align: center;">some of us...but just know how it lies within you...always.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Whenever a person is ready to assume the task of co-creation,</div><div style="text-align: center;">the Universe sets up support systems to make it manifest.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Every time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">These works have come back into our lives for a reason.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ive said it before, but it needs repeating:</div><div style="text-align: center;">I FULLY believe that we have come to this planet to bring</div><div style="text-align: center;">Paradise back again...to turn Earth back into the Paradise Garden it was.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">People may get esoteric about why we are here...humanity's destiny.</div><div style="text-align: center;">They might say that we are here to fully explore ourselves</div><div style="text-align: center;">on the physical level and hopefully reach enlightenment one day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Some will say that its a test...a time to prove ourselves worthy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The beauty of this is that if we choose to turn Earth back into the </div><div style="text-align: center;">paradise garden it once was, all of these things and more will be achieved.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I feel as if its a PREREQUISITE. That we need to act and co-create</div><div style="text-align: center;">before we can philosophize about why we are truly here. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Again...grow the paradise around you...the paradise that Earth WANTS</div><div style="text-align: center;">to be again...the Earth as we found it...it is time to reconnect.</div>Anthonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02191035281346536783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641876630179038946.post-50917381457240669882011-09-26T17:28:00.033-05:002011-09-26T18:34:46.161-05:00Hail Merry!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijV1FzEktqMGMptWyuv-0-1-YIb31pC3uN0-Y2Hn-1YXN8IBOdFoTuEuiBTucFSCkjZfqTPFwOAZ85m1NsD7YVJkx_VON3dpIUNw9tfDmg3NHy_eEDQsinnZjl_xPUyd3USGV5jhUT5396/s1600/photo-1.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijV1FzEktqMGMptWyuv-0-1-YIb31pC3uN0-Y2Hn-1YXN8IBOdFoTuEuiBTucFSCkjZfqTPFwOAZ85m1NsD7YVJkx_VON3dpIUNw9tfDmg3NHy_eEDQsinnZjl_xPUyd3USGV5jhUT5396/s400/photo-1.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656815131024296018" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">A masterpiece in chocolate - Merry's Miracle Tart.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.hailmerry.com">www.hailmerry.com</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0CvZ2X4n0HHmoT4x4gkJIv-EtTEoOIXzBujpNmpSCMMtdtW5JSOZnHM5x05G7iRMpwx-0ounnfVq_JtHICiyGBgWtQD3ammug9j7fpwMx4Ee3EBGPf_amuqUYDXcnwDqQ73kPKGb9feGr/s1600/IMG_2184.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0CvZ2X4n0HHmoT4x4gkJIv-EtTEoOIXzBujpNmpSCMMtdtW5JSOZnHM5x05G7iRMpwx-0ounnfVq_JtHICiyGBgWtQD3ammug9j7fpwMx4Ee3EBGPf_amuqUYDXcnwDqQ73kPKGb9feGr/s400/IMG_2184.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5656811838255094338" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">I just received a big order from HailMerry.com...oh my. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">OH.
