Earth Friendly Idea:Having plants at work not only makes your desk more attractive but, it can allow you to add some personality. Whether it be one or many, plants can be good for you, not only do they add oxygen to the air but certain types of plants can absorb toxins and harmful energy from different electronic devices, like computers. So consider spider plants or peace lillies, these are great indoor plants, and easy to maintain.
Quotation Station...
From the Movie "Broken Trails":
"We're all travelers in this world,
From the sweet grass,
To the Packin' house...
Birth till death
We travel between the Eternities."
"Plants are the young of the world, vessels of helath and vigor... they grope ever upward toward consciousness."
Ralph Wlado Emerson (1803-1882)
Fear less, hope more;eat less, chew more;whine less, breathe more;talk less, say more;love more, and all good things will be yours.
-Swedish proverb

Journal Jottings...
As ironic as it may seem, I was inspired to begin this blog by mean and rude people. Through people I've met, both good and bad, it continues to blow me away how some people can be to others without knowing them or never even meeting them before. Sometimes my mind asks, "What have I ever done to you? I don't even know you!" I'll be the first to admit to some pretty bad days, and I'm sure there will be much opportuntiy for more, but that is still no reason to treat people crappy. I just so badly wanted to take the negetivity from myself, and those around me and turn that energy into goodness, happiness, love and inspiration. It is so easy to get caught up in the financial stress, work worries, and just too much stuff going on in our lives, but we can still be good and happy people. That goodness has seemed to have been lost among much of society, especially through kids...and they are the source. I truely believe kids are what, when all is said and donewill change the world, will change all of us. We must be the examples, but more importantly we must be willing for these little people to teach us, and for us to actually learn from them. I get the biggest kick out of people who are so annoyed by kids and crying babies, like they never were one...get over yourself, and try to use a little patience. Have some fun. If you do good, good will come to you.
