Happy Earth Day 2017 #earthday

earth-day

Today is Earth Day a time to be mindful of taking care of this planet where we all call home. Hopefully we will be inspired to be diligent in taking care of our environment and the places that sustain life for all. You can do a lot to help just by simply recycling, reusing and restoring. Our world is in peril because of global warming so reducing our carbon footprint is a must. If we all do our part in taking care of Mother Earth it would make a big difference in keeping our world safe for generations to come.

Prince, Gone One Year Ago

Remembering Prince, who left us way too early a year ago. Thanks for the music great purple one. Remember, Let’s go crazy while partying like it’s 1999 in his honor.

How To Make “Homemade Ice” From Meh Food

This is a parody/satire site on Facebook and YouTube that pokes a little fun at those short cooking videos you see on social media. You will find this to be both funny and snarky in equal measure. You can also find them on Twitter.

Something About People Doing Right

Just because one is famous does not give them license to get away with things that demean or harm others. Powerful people have great opportunity to make life better for those around them but sometimes they act in such a way that discriminates and abuses. All sorts of people have paid the price for not doing the right things when they had the chance. We live in a world where affluence and influence can do great harm to the innocent among us. I ask what is so wrong with behaving like a grown up and being a force for good instead of wanting to get away with murder. If an every day person did some of the things we see in media they would be locked up immediately.

When it’s all said and done it takes everyday people to get the job done of being kind, considerate and encouraging us all to live together in a safe local, national and global community. Each one of us is a role model whether we like it or not. Your role is to do right by others. Granted we will mess up and make mistakes but its through those times when teaching moments are important.

Doing right means doing good and being good.
