A time to wait...

Well, spring might be coming, but the weather here in Southern Indiana has been 2-3 season in one day lately. My sinuses hate it. Which means I do!

I've been having to utilize the time to car shop, so the chilly and crummy weather has actually helped that some. No salesperson seems to want to stand out in the cold! Luckily the whole defective car thing is basically handled.... Not exactly how I wanted, but handled none the less. Once I have a new lease, I'll feel better. I detest car shopping...

There's not much going on, but I wanted to share a cool site a friend told me about. It's called free rice, and its tied through the UN. Regardless of your feelings about the UN, this is pretty cool.

You play trivia online (everyone knows I love trivia!) and for each question you get right you earn rice for the hungry.

Well, hope everyone is well! Have a blessed week!

Thinking about "things"


I heard a poem today that really made me think.

"the bestiary" - by Joanna Macy. Search it on Google.. Pretty heavy stuff.

I'm not sure that "global warming" is actually a man made thing or if it's a cycle of earth. I'm not a scientist. I do know that data is easily manipulated to make it look like one thing or another though, for or against…

Now, with that being said, I also think we need to acknowledge that SOMETHING is going on climate wise, regardless of who or what is causing it.

We as humans have a terrible superiority complex. Razing the earth for all its worth… I'm not some big eco-warrior. I just think we need to stop and look at things a bit. We can do things to help the planet. We can be more aware of recycling, using less fossil fuels and trying to pollute less. Because when it comes down to it, it's not about USA or UK or Uganda or what ever country your from, it's about being part of the planet. And it's not just about humans… since we appear to be the most sentient beings on the planet, we should be stewards of the planet. If we kill this place, where do we go? Ya know?

I don't normally get riled up about stuff, not like this at least. But I just had to get it out there, and off my chest. We can do better… and we should…

Ok, off the soap box…

What else… hmm…

Art journaled some, working of some zendalas and challenges for Bright Owl and the Diva.
My Art Journal is a bit larger thank my
scanner can handle but you get the gist of it. 

Spent an awesome afternoon with my Brother, Sister-in-law and nieces and had a nice phone chat with my best friend yesterday.

I hope everyone has a great week!
