Umm...
Forecast: Bright Light with increasing Darkness towards the end of the day. Watch out for the phenomenon where 98% of the population falls unconscious for 8 hours till morning.

LOL :-D

I'd report nothing but positive news. Anything negative that must be reported would be followed by intense reports about how to stop that from ever happening again. Ahem...that would be pointing out the behaviour and mindset that made it occur in the first place.
  

Earthlings uncovers the reality of man's relationship with animals and how reliant, ungrateful, and inhumane humans have become.

"EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby. With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. EARTHLINGS cries to be seen."

Ewwww....Earthlings are so Savage.  

Edit: Okay, that was gross. I couldn't find a puking Smiley for that. I couldn't watch it all.
I'm feeling like I need to nullify that horrific scene with this....

Respect for ALL of the Earth's creatures. Including ourselves...The Magical Dance...The Sacredness...The Beauty...Of Another Way of Being In This World....

"Ashes and Snow" on SoulJourney's blog. (Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!)

Happy Birthday Daddy.
I'm so Thankful to have had you in my Life. Forever Grateful for your loving guidance and instruction. Ever awed at all that you have brought into my Life and Experience. As the days go by, more and more snippets of memories bubble up and I am just overwhelmed by what you have Given to me...The Love that cannot ever be taken, shaken or broken.

You opened my Heart to Love and because of You, I was never afraid. You gave me someone to Love, someone to Trust and count on. I appreciate your Gift to me...the outlet I sought to reach out and Touch...to hold and hug and be held and hugged....I send you many LoveDrenched Blessings today.


I just remembered last night (perhaps that was you that tickled that memory, lol)...how when I was 6, we went to ChinaTown and we strolled into a shop that sold Prisms and Crystals. I remember how I was soooo transfixed...how I almost cried when we had to leave these wonderful things...How you looked into my eyes and saw the pain of this little StarSeed to leave the Crystals that reminded me of Hooooooome...and said something about me being a little Lightworker. You were surprised ("You want PRISMS??!!!")...and smiled...and bought me some. (Yay!)

It didn't ever make sense till now. Like I said, I am awed more and more.....You KNEW.

Thank You Daddy. I Celebrate You.
Sending you my Love in whatever Plane and Dimension you're in...
I Am Forever Your Little Girl.


I'm going to share with all my friends here (aren't my extended family members awesome?!) your favorite song, which we played over and over and over and over, LOL LOL LOL. I can see you dancing, LOL ;-)


Right Back Where We Started From (1975- Maxine Nightingale) Lyrics:

Ooo and it's alright and it's comin' 'long
We got to get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We got to get right back to where we started from

Oh-ohhhhh
Do you remember that day
(That sunny day)
When you first came my way
I said no one could take your place
And if you get hurt
(If you get hurt)
By the little things I say
I can put that smile back on your face

Ooo and it's alright and it's comin' 'long
We got to get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We got to get right back to where we started from

Ooo whooooo
A love like ours
(A love like ours)
Can never fade away
You know it's only just begun
You give me your love
(Give me your love)
I just can't stay away, no no
I know that you're the only one

Ooo and it's alright and it's comin' 'long
We got to get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We got to get right back to where we started from, oh whooooo oh who ohhhhhhh

Ooo whooooo
You give me your love
(Give me your love)
I just can't stay away, no no
I know that you're the only one

Ooo and it's alright and it's comin' 'long
We got to get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We got to get right back to where we started from

It's alright and it's comin' 'long
We got to get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We got to get right back to where we started from

It's alright and it's comin' 'long
We got to get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We got to get right back to where we started from

It's alright and it's comin' 'long
We got to get right back to where we started from .....

  
Hmmm...and I'm with you Siona, in trying to figure this out! It is apparent that people have excess and it's still not 'enough'. We need to straighten this mess out! LOL!

So what IS enough? Since my idea of enough may spell poverty for someone else, I can only conclude that Enough is a state of Being....of being Satisfied. No matter where you are and what you have (or don't), you can learn to Accept that...be satisfied with it, and it becomes 'enough'.

I DO think that 'enough' covers the basics of survival....ample food and shelter (Oh boy, are there some variances there!) Some people think they're going to die if they don't have their $500 tiny jar of caviar, while there are others who are satisfied with a few nuts and berries)

Hmm...perhaps things are 'enough' when we have an Attitude of Gratitude. If all you have is one carrot to eat, I'm sure you'll find that when you Bless that and are Thankful for it, then it can fill you and it Becomes Enough.

Is that Enough of an answer?
Aw, what the hey, I dunno.
LMAO :-D

   
I want to live in a world where....
~Differences are Celebrated and Honored...not judged and condemned.
  ~There is no such thing as Violence...upon the Self, Another Human or Animal.
~Everyone cleans up our Global Living Room (EARTH!!!) and picks up after themselves.
~Children and Women are Cherished.
~There are NO smokestacks spewing black whatever-it-is into the air. Ewwwww....
~There are mostly Global Events, as we celebrate in Unison.
~There are NO stray animals in the streets. (Hungry and abused ones)
~EVERYONE has the basics for survival. (Clean water and community gardens for food)

...and finally (at least on THIS list, right now, cause this can go on forever, LOL)
~I want to see Police Officers go back to being PEACE Officers and carry no weapon....just armed with the Art of Conflict Resolution.   (of course if people had some damn self-control, this wouldn't even be necessary...So self-regulate, People!!!)
[and oh heck, what the hey...I want to send every Man to this class, LOL]

That is all.
Carry On.

You are a spiritual being having a human experience living in a multi-dimensional universe.
The sooner you awaken to this reality, the sooner you can take back control of your life and we can collectively take back control of this planet from those few who seek power over us and the world.

Don't just believe ANYTHING without checking it out yourself including what I'm sharing with you. Do your homework! The truth is within you and you must ultimately make up you own mind and walk your own path. Take what makes sense to you now and leave the rest for another time.

If you are ready, it's time to wake up to your TRUE nature!

Inspired by the dialogue on Amma Aley's Q&R today....I now know what my answer would be:

I would make a documentary about what we could positively DO with the money that goes into just ONE Football game. Just One. (Well, Hell's Bells, do you know what we could do with the $$$ that goes into paying just ONE of these guys?)

Multiply the money the players get (we're talking millions here...each)
Multiply the money that spectators pay for their seats (don't forget those expensive box seats)
Multiply the advertising of said event.
Multiply the ad companies for a 10 second spot commercial.

You know what you get?
__ x __ =

A whole lot of freakin' money going nowhere and doing nothing, that's what.

Here are my contributions to the collection of Quotes for Women's Wisdom Weekend, as Siona pointed out that there is an imbalance in the quotes department...uhh...and Elsewhere.
So here goes...
