It's Simple


When I need some inspiration...


Or a reminder of how lucky I am...




Of how blessed we all are...




I need not go anywhere...




Or read anything...




Or listen to the words of others...

All I have to do is simply open my door and walk outside!  I hope that my great, great, great, great grandchildren will be able to do the same in peace, without judgment, and surrounded by the beauty of this world and all it can be.

This video is very powerful, and has some mild graphic imagery, so be forewarned, but I think it is such a beautiful video and has such a wonderful message that I wanted to include it!

Wishing you all a very Happy Earth Day!

    Nature is a primary relationship.

    Wonderful post. I was thinking of spending some of my time on Saturday painting my Dogwoods in bloom. I love them so much, I have 2 in the backyard and 2 in the front. And what they symbolize to me--well, gratitude. Happy Easter!

    Wow! What a powerful video!
    Talk about the man in the mirror being reflected here.
    It really makes one take a look at themselves & question how you are treating your world.
    Incredible how poignant Michael Jackson's last video would be so stirring.
    Thank you for sharing.
    Beautiful.

    The dogwood is such a lovely reminder of all that we have to be thankful for- beautiful photos of the flowers. We need to treasure the earth and all its beauty and yes, start doing a better job of taking care of it. Have a wonderful Easter weekend. Mickie :)

    Happy Earth Day Kat!

    My two favorite holidays are Earth Day and World Oceans Day, but I celebrate them each and every day of the year. This was a beautiful reminder that all we have to do is step outside to see what it is we need to protect for future generations of our children and all the other creatures who inhabit our planet.

    Wow Kat, that was amazing. I pray that our world can be put back together one day and I know that it starts with us, right now.
    Thank you for sharing and Happy Earth Day to you. :)
