I got thinking today about what Tips Tuesday was all about. Well, anything that might help others. In any way. Ok. Here goes something within our theme of self care we have been addressing as of late but follow me a while on this twisting path wont you? As I drove out of town today to visit family, I had the misfortune of being forced to witness a horrible act of ignorance, neglect, and it set me back to ask how have we evolved as human beings living on this planet. Some of you might be surprised as I explain what I witnessed. You might think goodness gracious is that it? Thats all!? Thats not that bad Noone was killed!! Well, I beg to differ. We are an endangered species we are. Each one of us. Out of our own ignorance. I felt this horrible crime at the pit of my stomach, I thought I might be sick, I experienced road rage I never had experienced before, wanting to follow the owner of the car that had committed this act. As I followed a string of cars heading out of town past a gorgeous horse farm and across a glittering pristine bubbling river, someone in a car in front of me threw their trash out the window not once but twice........I watched it land ever so gracefully in the glistening bubbling river...... So what did you think just now? What was your reaction. Were you expecting me to describe my witnessing a murder? Didnt I? I could list the many tragic deaths this litter will cause the wild life that attempts to eat it in its many forms of breaking down which would take a life time, or the toxins released into the fish and our drinking water but we all know this. Dont we? I was once ignorant, I can admit it. Feeling frustrated with hearing all the end of the world global warming stories thinking I had done all I could and leaving it up to the scientists to figure out thinking if it were serious someone would do something...... Well here we are. But today as I watched this haenous act. I thought, have we not evolved? Have we not moved forward? Most of my friends on here are where I am now, doing everything they can in each moment to help the earth and all its habitants. But i urge you to share this story and your own, louder. It is because of people out there like the individual guilty of this ridiculous ultimate lazy and violent act that we cant just do our part. We have to do more. Example: Watching a documentary about horseshoe crabs. Id heard of them, but didnt know that much about them. They are funky lookin little things! Well they are endangered. After millennium of surviving since possibly before the dinosaurs, through ice ages, meteor impacts etc, we are singlehandedly killing them. How you ask? We are destroying their breeding grounds with over development and garbage. Now you might ask, why am I discussing the horshoe crab? Well fascinatingly enough, their blue blood has a unique chemistry that has been an essential ingredient mixed in vaccines that allows us to actually be vaccinated. Now Im not here to discuss whether or not people should vaccinate or whether they should be using their blood( during this process the horse shoe crabs are left Alive and released back into the wild, which is not something I like regarding animal rights but thats another discussion) However fascinating it is that science defines these creatures as indispensable yet they do nothing to protect their natural habitat, they actually seem to think it makes more sense to try to breed them in captivity rather then clean up their habitat. Funny enough all attempts have failed to breed them in captivity except for when samples of their original breeding ground (sand they were born into) is provided into the science labs reproduced breeding ground. But what do we do when the breeding ground is no longer available, buried under garbage or paved under a parking lot? Bare with me, Im tying it together now: When I got thinking of what I would write about for tips Tuesday as you can see by the time this is posted I really gave it some thought. No tip on eye liner application, or updo style or skin cream out ways this. If there is no planet, no eyeliner in the world can save us. This individual who unwittingly became the topic of this long winded Tips Tuesday must have very little regard for their own health, or that of their family, friends or their planet. This person is disconnected from themselves, and in turn everything else. This is not the only person. There are many others. I see it as a very real Zombie Apocalypse. What is the definition of a zombie; detached from reason, mindless, driven by hunger for more only, no remorse or regard for others, no empathy, no conscience, no humanity. How do you plan to fight this? We are either part of the solution, or part of the problem which are you. I ask you to share this, share awareness, wake up from the Zombie Apocalypse that threatens our planet, our race and many other helpless species becoming extinct every day. We are all connected, to each other, the earth and all species. The only way we can fight back is to become educated and stronger, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. We become stronger in these ways by spending time and ideas with like minded people and placing self care in the top priority it deserves to be in. We take Care of ourselves we take better care of those we know and love and those we dont know but love anyway. Join me in self awareness, self care and in turn fight the mindless march of those Zombies not yet awakened to what they are doing. Their is hope for them yet but its up to is to show them the way. My Tip for this Tuesday fight the Zombies pull your head out of the sand and fight for your health, your families health, you friends health the health of every species on the planet. Dont just do your part. Do more!! Read our past tips Tuesdays on how you can start making self Care a priority including our free classes this July to start you on your path! Love and light bless you for putting up with my rant, I promise to keep it shorter next time! Xo E
