Mother Earth

This coming weekend is Summer Solstice. It is a time of manifestation and change. I'm doing a lot to prepare for this...cleansing my body, my mind, even my house and workspace. I've started a "wish list" of things that I'd like to see happen with the intent of "this or something better." Along with this, comes taking stock of all of the wonderful things in my life. One major one that has been on my mind today, is our planet and the crisis that it is in. I became aware of the way that I contribute to it's demise. Even the steps I take affect the earth as an imprint of my energy. My goal is to become more mindful of the way I walk and I intend to walk and run in peace. If I'm upset, I'm not going to stomp around in anger. I wish to give thanks to this beautiful planet and the life that it sustains us with. All this earth has ever done is help us to live it has given and given and given. And all we seem to do is take take take. When do we reach the breaking point? This is my vow and my commitment in writing to do whatever I can to change it all...I hope you do to.

Buy the eco bags at the grocery store...and remember to bring them with you each time you go. Turn off the lights when you aren't in the room. Unplug the appliances you don't use often. Pick up the trash in your community. Plant a garden. Quit consuming products that come from companies that pollute. Go vegetarian! Eat products that are organic! Quit wearing leather. Be mindful of the trash you put in your garbage can...can you reuse or recycle it it anyway? And last but not least...educate yourself about the mark you are leaving on the planet. This is the only one we have!
