The Vegan Revolution

     Veganism has been around for many years but people still go after meat and milk cows dry until they can’t be milked ever again so then they are euthanized.  Pets are sent to breeders and, if cute enough, are bred, sometimes inbred by a close family member and charged almost 1000 dollars per puppy.  This is what is called a puppy mill.  If a dog can’t be bred anymore they are sent to a kill shelter along with the dogs nobody wants.  Then there is trophy hunting where elephants are killed for their tusks and lions for their hides.  The world is falling apart because of our choice we take with everything we do with the first thing we do in the morning to the last thing we do at night.  Choose wisely.  Choose electric, or solar, instead of gas/oil, grow your food, recycle, use compostable items, etc.  

    News update: People, now a days, are being pushed into veganism because of the rising cost of meat and dairy products.  Which is great!  It might take a while to get used to being vegan, but it isn’t hard.  Slowly switch dairy milk for nut milk then over time switch to vegan cheese.  You might want to make your own cheese or nut milk.  Get your fruits and veggies, and beans and lentils, brown rice or quinoa.  Your might want to get frozen fruit or veggies for they last longer.  A great idea would be to grow your own veggies during the spring and summer and harvest, jar, freeze them during the fall and winter.   Also, put food scraps in a compost pile to be used in your garden to help with the soil’s nutrients.  Try to reuse and/or not use plastic packaging and plastic bags.  It’s just not littering.  But the animals are being killed by them plus, oil is killing them.  Remember the Dawn advertisement?

    Hopefully, with our choice to help the planet we can reverse the treatment that our world has to endure.  With climate change, polar ice caps melting, the water level rising.  It’s not just about what we eat but it can begin with that.  Remember our choice has a big impact on what happens with our planet’s fate.  Choose wisely.

To Just Be.....

Image
          A feeling of strong, unbreakable chains that seem impossible to break.  A heaviness on my shoulders that keep on weighing me down into this quick sand.  I'm stuck.  Oh, how difficult it is to pick up one leg and then the other.  I'm sinking further and further into the unknown....this black whole.  There is no light.....no illumination of hope.  Just darkness.       When I wake up it is still dark.  "Help!" I yell out.  "Is anyone here?"  But no response.  Not even one murmur.  As I stumble around to find my way through this blackness, I come across a wall and then another, and another.  The air here is so stagnant.  My chest is heavy and in pain from lack of breathing.  I am running, feeling my way around just to find each door blocked, unable to open it to the other side.  Each stair case never ends, but is spiraling and spiraling out of control.  Never ending.  My throat hurts from the poor air quality and the screaming to be heard that is

Morning Routine for Someone with Bipolar Disorder

      Bipolar Disorder is a serious illness and it is crucial for that person to stick to a schedule to find stability in his or her life.  I am sharing with you, today, my morning routine that I use to keep me grounded.       1) The night before, set an alarm for nine to ten hours so you can be fully rested to take on the day.  I set my alarm for 10pm to 8am to allow my medication to finish doing its job and is flushed from my system.       2) Don’t look at your phone until you have finished your morning routine.  This task is tricky for I am still working on it.  But this is an important to task.  I don’t know but people become obsessed over the news they find on social media and status they either get or don’t get.  This obsession is proven to hinder the mental health.  So, it is important to practice this task of less screen time to help improve the quality of life.       3) Before picking up that phone, do some meditation.  Set an alarm for 5, 10, or even 15 minutes.  Sit in silen

Dear Diary: Fear of Loss

 Dear Diary, I write this today expressing fear of the loss of my dad.  He’s in the hospital and right now is in the operating room where they will perform a procedure to prepare him for an even bigger and more risky surgery with will take place tomorrow.  I was on the phone with him, before coming up to do this post, about what to expect if something happens.  I’m hoping and praying that nothing happens.  That he’ll come home all calm and sound for the rest of his days spent with his loved ones.  But I have to come to realize that living might not be the plan.  God might say it’s time come home and see my mom.  I have a picture of my mom sitting on the end table in the living room.  The recliner is right across from it.  And a couple times I look over at the picture thinking she moved or said something.  As God says, the end is nigh.  I have to prepare for this monumental end of an adventure.  My dad is tired…more exhausted.  He says he was put on this earth to care for my mom during
