Earth Day

Happy Earth Day

Happy Earth Day, my friends. I'm not going to give a big speech on ways to help protect our mutual home. Most people know what to do.

I think one of the best ways to protect the Earth is to know the area you live in. Get to know the local flowers and plants that grow where you live. Notice the birds and local wildlife where you are. Love for the Earth starts with being connected to what is right outside your door. The more connected you are to anything, the more willing you are to protect it.

This week ,where I live in The Bronx, I have seen groundhogs, geese, squirrels, pigeons, wrens, robins, seagulls, dandelions, apple blossoms, wild violets and bluebells.

So today and this week notice all that is growing and walking right outside your door. The Earth is home to​ all of us from the ladybug to the dandelions to the geese to you.

Have a blessed Earth Day.

Happy Earth Day

Happy Tuesday, my friends. I got a chance to go out with my boys and soak in the sunshine on this Earth Day. This day is a great reminder for ourselves that we are connected to the world. Whatever happens to Mama Earth, we will share the same fate. Recycling, reusing, reducing is all important things to do daily .Earth Day goes deeper for me. It is a day to remember we are kin to all the animals, flowers, trees, sky and clouds. We are connected in an ever linking chain. Doesn't matter if you live in the city or country. Nature is all around us.



* Get to know all the local wildflowers and trees near you. Research their names. Take note of which flowers or trees bloom first where you live. Which ones are your favorites?
* What animals are around you? You may just think it's just a few birds or squirrels. I'm sure there is a lot more than that. Really look around to see what kind of animals are popping up around your home.

I live in The Bronx. Where I am, you may be surprise to know, is full of animals. We have geese, ducks, squirrels, sparrows, red robins, blue birds, skunks, eagles, seagulls, groundhogs, rabbits. As one of my neighbors said to me the other day, it's a zoo around here. Just today, I saw the first three or four dandelions peeking out from the ground. We have wild apple trees here. The apple blossoms are starting to sprout and go pink. Soon, there fragrant scent will be delighting me. I do love when the apple blossoms come.

I feel what causes neglect from people about the Earth, they are not connected to Nature. Knowing the wildlife and plantlife where we live locally makes us feel one with the land. I know it does for me. Something, I want to pass on to Jacob.

I love to hear in the comments all the animals and plants that you love in your area. Happy Earth Day.

Happy Earth Day

Happy Monday, my friends.

It's Earth Day!



A reminder to love this beautiful planet we all live on.

This is what Earth Day means to me.

* Plants and Flowers are alive. They my not talk in a spoken
language, they do communicate.

* Green and wild places need to be protected, they give people
peace and tranquility especially in cities.

* The way we treat the Earth echoes on how we treat our own bodies.

* Nature heals us, we in turn should do our part to heal her in places
she has been hurt.

There are so many ways to show love to Mama Earth. Find the way that
is comfortable for you.

Happy Earth Day

P.S. I do love to hug Trees.

Happy Earth Day

Show and send love to Mama Earth.
You don't have to get all obsessed with being
green. Small actions daily lead to big change.

I do my best to not use plastic bags
as much. Put things in my bag and bring
extra cloth bags when I shop.

Use all purpose baking soda with water
to clean around the house. Nixing all
the chemical products to clean with.

Recycle things I don't want via freecycle.
So someone else can use them instead of
throwing it away.

Let's all continue to keep our beautiful
planet clean, green and alive.

Not only for us, also the generations to come.

Wishing you all beautiful Earth Day.

Celebrating Mama Earth

My first introduction to Earth Day was at college. When I went to this huge Earth Day celebration on the Mall in D.C. It was a wonderful day of learning how to go green and respecting Mama Earth.Since then, I feel Earth Day is a important way to remember the place we all share and live together on. I'm happy to see more people understanding the Earth is alive just like we are. She is not a dead thing floating in space. She feels just like we do. By healing her, we heal ourselves.

Here are two poems I wrote yesterday dedicated in honor of Earth Day.

We have one mother
Mama Earth
She feeds us,
Clothes us
Provides shelter
What have you done
For her?


The Earth
Kisses me everyday
She has birds sing songs to me
The sun to warm my skin
The blue sky for to dream on
Dandelions and daisies to make me smile

Enjoy your Earth Day. I'll be back tomorrow celebrating Shakespeare's birthday.
As always, Sweet Dreams to you all.

P.S. Yes, I do really hug Trees. They have magnificent energy which they are always glad to share.
