Passion for the Earth
I am most passionate about saving the planet. You can be too, with the smallest daily lifestyle habits. People follow me because I am able to show them a different view of life. A healthier way of living that can also help the planet. We humans can live however we want. Humans are the first species that are able to live in any place in the world verse animals have to live in a certain place because of the role they play in the ecosystem. Animals in certain areas evolve over time to adapt to the place they live in or they migrate to another area.

The Wisdom of Grandmother Tree
When you are a writer and all your inspiration, training and years of putting words on paper are needed to create that next masterpiece, being able to “define” what that creative piece is about is the only place to start.

Witchinit Ways Alter Existence
Cackles over steaming cauldrons filled with toil and trouble. Toad tails, black hats, and cats, yes, this charm is firm and good. While all of this is relative to the witch, linking back to tales steeped in history, it’s not the whole story.

Wounded
I’d gone in the house quickly to change clothes so that I’d have long sleeves over my arms and jeans to cover my legs. I chose an old army cold-gear physical training shirt to help me remember a time I’d discovered I was more capable than I’d ever believed myself to be. I wasn’t brave enough to try to catch the winged raptor without extra fabric over my skin as a precaution. However wounded he might be, he still made it clear that he had a lot of fight left in him. When I first went out to the back fence, the 5 dogs had stood checking him out and yelling their aggravation at his audacity to stand so close to their yard. His ruffled feathers stated clearly his own displeasure of the situation and he kept his golden eyes fixed on the biggest dog nearest the gate. He would occasionally sneak a glance quickly to see if there were any threats coming closer from the other side in his distraction. As he moved further away from the dogs, he held his wings arching up toward the sky—unable to take off; and high-stepped a little bit at a time with his feathered pants flittering about in the autumn breeze.

Journal of the End?
"It's eerily quiet" I said to Vince. "No, not any more than usual" he answers while he tinkers with yet another piece of wood to use as a fire poker and sometimes wolf deterrent. "Ugh, would you stop what you're doing for a second and listen to me?" I grab his arm urgently but not enough to cause pain. He looks at me startled, then sees the look on my face. I mouth "Shhhhh" and hold my index finger up to my mouth with my other hand. He looks up into the sky, takes a deep breath, and exhales as he brings his head back down with his eyes closed. Closed, so he can really listen. We stand there quiet, with just the faintest rustle of leaves above from the tall oaks and sycamores that surround us.
