URGENCY!!!

When I speak to you of urgency it is because we must take immediate action. We must wake ourselves up to the reality that we are destroying Mother Earth and that individually we must make a conscious effort to do whatever we can to protect, heal and renew the earth to her natural state of health.

Simply stated it is fact that there is toxic chemicals being pumped into the atmosphere, we are therefore breathing toxic chemicals, and we are consuming toxic chemicals. We must also add that we are washing our clothes in toxic chemicals, putting toxic chemicals on our skin and contributing the the toxicity of the planet with the words, thoughts and deeds that we unconsciously perform each and everyday.

So, to briefly observe what is, we need to identify what the problem is, so that we can bring it into our conscious mind in order to take appropriate action, NOW! The question arises for many, 'So, what can I do differently?'

First things first that new habits take time to become the new way so babysteps are in order. Begin by educating yourself on the foods you eat, the home products you use and the toxins that exist within your own home. A great first step is to buy toilet paper that has been made from recycled paper. Then move towards eliminating harsh chemical cleaning products and turn towards healthy alternatives.

For your body choose creams, lotions, shampoos and conditioners that are made from pure plant essences and that are made with natural products. Consume local, organic foods and allow your diet to consist mostly of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. Drink lots of purified water and educate yourself about holistic lifestyles.

Theses are some basic steps that each one of us can take to begin to bring the planet back to its natural state. The concept reduce, reuse and recycle sums it up in 3 easy to remember words.

So, yes there is a sense of urgency and when we all become conscious of our choices we will not only personally benefit, but our neighbors around the world will. Make a choice today to be part of the solution.
