If adversaries continue attacks to gain control and if the people of the Earth don't start treating their environment with respect, the Earth will be gone. The nations of the world need to understand this as well. Then All of us, as a "species" are respecting what belongs to all of us. It seems the American Dream was realized by many up to 1980's? Then a wave came along and "corporation careers" were the buzz. This new world shows what greed for power and wealth can do. So, "keep on smilin!" to all you meet. Practice the Golden Rule and give of yourself . Thoughts? Oh yea, if all the world is working for a common goal, there wouldn't be a need to fight; would there?

It seems the American Dream was realized by many up to 1980’s? Then a wave came along and “corporation careers” were the buzz. This new world shows what greed for power and wealth can do.

So, “keep on smilin!” to all you meet. Practice the Golden Rule and give of yourself .

Thoughts?

Oh yea, if all the world is working for a common goal, there wouldn’t be a need to fight; would there?

Last year was a struggle and yet, I just knew that "everything will work out." It's faith in the Universe, and myself, it's me knowing that I will take the action needed, actions learned and actions from research and actions from suggestions made by others. I don't fear tomorrow anymore. I focus on living each day, moment by moment because, really that's all I'm guaranteed. When I was married and raising a daughter, then divorced and raising same daughter, I found myself in "auto pilot" so much of the time. The first 9 years of divorce, financial fears, parental fears, trying to raise a daughter, it was too much. When I wasn't in motion, I was asleep. It's been 2 years since life changed to a more peaceful, serene, happy place to be. This year will be more searching for where my place is now. What do I want to do; photography, theatre, gathering women to discuss issues, volunteering. So many possibilities. I will say that Love and Peace will keep the Earth alive. If we don't eliminate the greed for power and money and get back humanity for all, the Earth will be destroyed and nobody wins. I came up with a slogan last summer: Power and Money killed Humanity. Think it over. I’ve learned many of the same lessons you’ve mentioned and ones of my own.

Sometimes it takes a crises to bring out our best. Some of the most succussful business people lost multiple businesses and declared multiple bankruptcies before hitting the big time. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Your courage is an inspiration. Well said, dear friend. Sometimes it takes a crises to bring out our best.
