"When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound, in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free."

Be the change you want to see...

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

A FUN FACT:
In 1955, dust from the Sahara Desert in northern Africa was carried by winds over 1,800 miles to Europe and caused the snow falling on the Alps to turn red.

For thousands of years, marijuana has reduced symptoms
for the seriously ill effectively, and has helped improve
their quality of life. Dozens of medical and health
organizations endorse or allow patients access to
medical marijuana with their physicians’ approval.
Marijuana has been used therapeutically to control
pain, alleviate nausea and vomiting in cancer
patients due to chemotherapy, treat wasting
due to HIV/AIDS, combat muscle spasms
associated with multiple sclerosis and more.

To date, 12 states have passed medical marijuana
laws. While the laws differ from state to
state, they all work to protect patients and caregivers from criminal charges associated
with their medicine.

Seriously ill patients have the right to effective therapies. To deny patients access to such a therapy is to deny them dignity and respect as persons.

Please sign this petition to allow medical marijuana use and tell your friends, too! Thank you.

Last night as I was sleeping
I dreamt -- marvelous error! --

that I had a beehive

here inside my heart.

And the golden bees
and sweet honey

from my old failures.

About Me	A work in progress!
	Introduce yourself to Linda
Lifestyle
Pets	CATS!!! (4), Lop-ear Rabbit (1), Dogs (2)
Activist Aspirations	Enthusiastic
Political Leaning	Depends
Religions	Christian-No Denomination-Spiritualist
Eating Habits	Almost anything... :), TRYING TO BE HEALTHY - FAILING MISERABLY, eatting what I like!, tea and coffee, should eat better

My Philosophy	Do not judge. No one is blameless and appearances often deceive, or at best, are misunderstood.
What Gives Me Hope	Jesus and God and my nieces and all animals and nature.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by	Create a way for resources to be used more effectively for taking care of the necessities of life for everyone before ear-marking money or resources toward projects that benefit the elite few. Garner the resources (volunteers, money, buildings, whatever) to ensure good healthcare for all. Make spay and neutering mandatory and enforce it for those who decide to disregard it. For the poor animals who are already excess baggage, trap and sterilize them and then find anyway needed to care for them, even as ferals. These are not insurmountable problems if we would ALL pull together and offer a little of ourselves...time or money or compassion...everyone has something to give. We are a rich country. It is time to do better.
What/who changed my life and why	My Mom! I have been a manic depressive for 30 years, but I did not know this early on. I self-treated to cope with how I felt and eventually found myself in trouble. My Mom stood by me, even when most of my family didn't understand mental illness (some still don't), and even when I did not love myself. Her unconditional love and belief in me saved me. Still does. Her example showed what love truly is and how lucky I really was.
What Bugs Me	mental abusers, money over people, Those who hurt others weaker than them, pretense, people who steal and harm others, people who rape, people who don't "listen", Litter Bugs!!, intolerance, injustice, indifferance, hypocrisy, George Bush, Evil people, Drunk Drivers, cr
Passions	feeding the hungry people and animals, making a difference, Supporting Mental Health issues, My cats!!, cure for multiple sclerosis, guinea pigs, Dolphins - Whales, tigers of any kind, Pandas, spirituality, reading, other cultures, nature, music, laughter, family
Inspirations	God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, animals-they love unconditionally, my cats, good people, my family, understanding, to fulfill my purpose on earth, the beauty of nature
What Scares Me	Religious Extremism, Satan, Sarah Palin, "Big Brother", tornados and earthquakes, drought, Losing the ones I love, illnesses, global warming, current USA administration, being alone
Favorites
Role Models	sister, my family, Mother and father, Mother Teresa, Dalai Lama, Jesus Christ
