A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS......... 1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful. 2. Give me time to understand what you want of me. 3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being. 4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you. 5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me. 6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it. 7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you. 8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak. 9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old. 10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so. Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Remember that they can't do a lot of things for themselves and that they depend on you to make their life a quality life!
When the world is finally quiet, when it is calm and peaceful, then and only then can we all breathe a sigh of relief. Until that time we must fight the good fight.
“Love” is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. -Jubal Harshaw, Stranger in a Strange Land
No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow. - Alice Walker
SIMPLE SOLUTION: Peace By Elizabeth Cunningham The problem is people think peace is boring we have lost our imagi- nations. We have forgotten the fluidity of peace how it is like all the muscles rippling to lift the dancer’s leg, how it is the slow rhythm of tidal rivers how it is clouds forming and dispersing how it is a flock of birds turning as one in evening sky how it is food laid out on a round table and honest struggle between lovers and friends how it pulses in our blood how it sings in our ears how the death of each tiny thing is held secure in its arms with the life. We have forgotten how boring it is to kill each other how predictable. There is much more suspense in peace.
I've been a jack-of-all-trades, but my heart is with my forestry(have a degree) and the children I now teach (special needs).
My Philosophy
There is a place in the world for all of nature. But NOT for the greedy ones who are lining their pockets and ruining things for me,for my children, for my grandchildren, and for those who appreciate Nature!
What Gives Me Hope
Reaching children and seeing them realize THEY can make a difference.
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Stop selling off our world in order to please the 'big guys'. Make it a law to protect our environment so that we in turn, protect ourselves.
What/who changed my life and why
My third grade teacher, "Bambi" and "Smokey the Bear" - years ago, I was drawn to the stories when I became aware of the horrible destruction that results from carelessness. Those two things lead me to my initial career in forestry. When my health and circumstances made me unable to continue in forestry, I took to teaching. It affords me the opportunity to instill in children confidence that they can make a difference in even little things that better our world. My third grade teacher inspired me because of her enthusiasm for her chosen profession!

Testimonial on Apr 27, 2007
I've known Ginny my entire life and I can't think of anyone else I would rather have in my corner for anything. She is the most understanding, compassionate, and loving person I know. She has taught me more than I'll ever forget. I love her more than life
