It hasn’t been a great week or two for Peace. The ceasefire in Gaza has collapsed. If there ever was a ceasefire between Russia and the Ukraine, that also has ceased ceasing bombing each other. But we can only manifest what we believe is possible. So this week’s song invites us all to jump on … More Motivational Music Monday: Let’s All Jump on the Peace Train
I didn’t end up planting butterfly/bee plants, like I suggested in yesterday’s post. That’s probably best for them, because my prior planting experiments have not ended up well for the poor plants. Instead, I spent my money at my local Farmers Market, the Cary Downtown Farmers Market. That was intentional. Most US families can’t live … More How Did You Celebrate Earth Hour? Here’s How I Spent Mine
Last night we had a gathering of some of the people in my spiritual center around this Spring Altar. I plan to use this again tonight in my celebration of a global Earth Hour. Earth Hour is easy. To participate, at 8:30 PM local time (mine is East Coast US, which I think is GMT-5), … More Show Your Love for Mother Nature! Join Earth Hour Tonight
It’s the first day of Spring, the season of rebirth and new beginnings. So if you’ve been feeling tired, discouraged, or stuck, breathe in the possibilities this season of growth presents.

I got up early this morning to see the Blood Moon eclipse, but I couldn’t see it. Apparently, the moon was only barely above the horizon. In the hilly area where I live, I couldn’t find a spot to see it. Oh well. But I got this picture this morning from my youngest brother. He … More Happy Blood Moon Holi Pi Day!
I don’t think I’ve ever not voted in an election. I cherish the privilege that it is to be able to vote for my candidates and my programs and my beliefs, and so I exercise them. I also cherish my privilege to control access to my personal information. When you sign up for Facebook or … More I Believe the Best Way to Protect Our Rights is to Use Them
Does the idea that Elon Musk and his minions (someone who calls himself online “Big Balls”? Really?) have been able to access your personal information bother you? If not, skip this post. But if so, there IS something you can do about it. Yesterday, I got an email from US Representative Jamie Raskin, a Democratic … More Shock and Activate: FOIA Edition
Today’s musical selection is in honor of Harriet Tubman Day, which is today, March 10. (It is also my youngest brother’s birthday, his 60th this year, so shout out to him. However, he is visiting Vietnam and Cambodia for his celebration, so he has better things to do than read my blog. Still, I’m sending … More Motivational Music Monday: Harriet Tubman Edition
