What are we doing to the Earth?  This is a question I ask myself often.  I struggle with this many days.  Children love the Earth, animals, the water that surrounds us and other living things, but other people do not get it.  I know that I might pay more attention to things that are going around us that others.  However, you cannot deny something is very wrong, you have whales and dolphins being washed up to shorelines that they are usually not near, mantees in Boston, MA. this is not how it is suppose to be.  Forget about devastation that is done from natural disasters; now our plant and wildlife are facing man made problems like oil spills over an over again. 

     When will we wake up?  When is it going to be enough?  The rate we are going it will be soon.  This oil spill is something everyone will feel the effects of for many years to come.  The unfortunate piece, it is not over, the oil companies can not even stop this.  This also impacts an already fragile ecomony.  Now more jobs are lost and more to come.  For anyone that reads this please take the time to step outside and enjoy nature and try to become it, not kill it.

                                                           A New Year's Resolution (2010)

     It is time for all to celebrate

     passing to a New Year.

     It is time for family and friends

     to gather for cheer.

     We all try to make a resolution

     to better our ways of life.

     Some will have goals of solace,

     and some some will have goals of delight.

     I wish I may, I wish I might

     make my dreams see the light.

     And with this new hope and joy

     of a New Year.

     May this resolution find a way

     to see clear.

     May all your tears vanish

     through this year.

     May all your dreams come here.

                                                                I WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Thank you for being a part of my website.

Money VS. Environment

          Last night I saw an incredible movie both scarey and an eye opener.  The movie "2012" if people are not aware is basically the world coming to end.  Now I am not saying the world is going to end, but I believe there is some truth in the movie.  What I mean by this people focus on making and spending money.  We all love to spend.  How much time do you spend with the environment?  It is almost like people live in a big bubble and do not pay attention to things in it.  When you drive in your car do you look at the sky or just look at the car next to you that cut you off?

         Anyway, getting back to the movie, there was alot of storms, earthquakes, and unimaginable happenings.  In reality we could not over power it.  If we were to stand up against the environment we would lose.  Why is taking people so long to realize we need to start focusing on the environment.  The very people in power that make the decisions for us to send our children and families over seas to be killed in a war that should end.  They are not making too many decisions for our environment.  When people to try to stand up for the environment they are told that there is nothing wrong, or it's just people trying to scare everyone. 

The big question is if you have money and no where to spend it; what good is it?  What if it is true ten years from now we may not have drinking water or it may be scarce.  What good is money? 

Please feel free to comment.

Thank You,

I wanted to share information to people who are nice enough to look at my website from time to time.

I recently started taking a class and I am learning about Hinduism.  I found it interesting because their way of life is not as rushed as ours.  They seem to be able to find a balance in their lives along with peace and harmony.  As oppose to people here in the cities and where ever else you may live in United States.  I cannot really speak about other countries because I am not familiar.  I really cannot speak for everyone here in the US. 

I know most lifestyles are extremely busy like mine.  We are raising children, working, and try to keep up with our other daily activities.  For me I have to add school and environment studies into the mix.  Anyway, there are days I do not know how I keep up.  The reason I am writing about this I would like people to take time for themselves. 

Ask yourself this question.  Can you remember time when you did not hear anything, just silence?  I know sometimes when I driving I donot even put the radio on just to hear nothing.  It is amazing how you can forget what nothing sounds like.  I enjoy listening to the rain fall and nothing else. 

Hopefully, you can take time out of your day to do the same.  Just listen to nothing and try to remember what it sounds like.

Good Luck. 

I would like feedback on this.

Thank You
