You’ve got that right! And yes, I’m always on the keys or out tromping in the woods! What a life.

Gail, so this is what you’ve been up to…

We are starving for a life of purpose and passion and when we don’t see (or even look for) a way of satisfying that hunger, then we end up mis-aligning ourselves with actions that couldn’t possible bring us fulfillment. The only way to peace on earth is through doing what you love, following your passions, and sharing your spiritual gifts with the world.

As you are speaking out for what you want this world to look like, remember to feel the peace it brings you in your heart to be following this energy…. That peace will radiate out to others and bring about the result you are looking for in everyone being a steward of the planet…

Never. NEVER underestimate the power of your voice! You are heard.

Gail,

We are all starving for purpose. It seems you’ve found yours. When each of us can reach down deep and find something we are willing to live out loud for, then we are on purpose.
Keep in mind though, for most of us, this needs to be a process, not a specific action, or around a specific group, person or cause.

For you, you’ve found your purpose being a spokesperson for the wildlife, dogs and planet. And look at you. You’ve been loosing weight too.
Love
Michelle

Thank you Susan. I really appreciate you taking time to visit and make a comment. I so agree with your assessment; however, there is so much self struggling in the world, in some ways I understand how some feel too overwhelmed with just day to day living. On the other hand I feel our society has done an injustice by not making it possible for everyone to be a good steward.

Hi Gail,
I have spent many hours contemplating the general lack of connectedness with plants and animals by most humans I am around. The malaize of ignorance makes for desions that are self serving, short sited, and no scope of the big picture that we are part of.
In Buddhist thought, a hungry mind is dangerous. After getting what is wanted, something else now becomes a need, a desire. Eating more than you need is a compusion of the mind. Maybe some good mental hygeine is required. Being aware of our thoughts and words. Are they good for us and others? It is a place to start.
