Earth Day Turns 40 Today! Can you believe that? The article mentions that Earth Day, although now global all began with a bunch of 20-somethings working in an office over a diner. At first the name didn't sit well with them, they thought it sounded too much like an event for farmers, but it grew on them, as Earth Day itself has grown on all of us. I try to think of the Earth every day, and although I am by far not its most talented helper, I try to reduce damage and increase awareness when I can. Sure I know I should do more, we all should think of helping the planet we live on and more than just this one day a year. However, today at least do something wonderful for the planet in honor even if it is to stop littering, or if you can plant something maybe a tree. Every bit counts. Don't ever think you don't make a difference just because you are only one person. It all adds up. Here are a few Earth Day Links to check out. Earth Day Network Ecological Footprint Quiz (what...

Today Is Earth Day!!! For as long as I remember, my Mother has been very "in tune" to the ways of the Native Americans. She displays so many traits of theirs, follows many of their beliefs and superstitions and really loves their philosophies and way of life. In short, the Native Americans have always been spiritually ascended, thankful and respectful to Mother Earth and its resources. They also have much to say in the ways of medicine and healing... This is where I believe my Mother gets her medicinal qualities, and I believe she has passed her medicine down to me. I give thanks to Mom and this magical universe for that. So, I am a healer, listener, a bit of a medium and divine nurturer. Those are my medicines. Take a quiet moment today to think on the following... Elder's Meditation of the Day April 22: "Each creature has a medicine, so there are many medicines. Because they are so close to the Creator, they are to communicate that medicine. Then they bring hel...

is for Earth, as in our beat-up abused world we live in (along with all the beat-up and abused creatures that attempt to co-exist with us as well). As April 22nd is Earth Day , I thought I would mention it a bit early so you can be reminded and think of maybe one or two things you could do to help the environment. I'm sure I will get some cynical, negative feedback on this, but I don't care, I am a Treehugger, and although I am not always perfect (and certainly not an over-the-top advocate maybe), I still try to do what I can, and help my environment and the animals that must live together on our planet. Found this interesting site for other fellow Treehuggers: http://www.treehugger.com - "Walk the Talk" Thought I would share it with you. So, today's letter (although a bit late because of technical difficulties yesterday), is to the Earth. It's short, but sweet. :) Dear Earth, I really do care about you and I will try to do whatever I can to help the environm...
