Whether you are a busy parent, one who is struggling to make ends meet, trying to keep up with endless looming deadlines at work or you are worried about the Earth’s environment, you might find yourself saying words like these:
“There are not enough hours in the day…”
“There’s not enough money in my bank account…”
“There are not enough resources on our planet…”
“There’s not enough of me to go around…”
You may have developed a case of the “not enoughs.”
How often do you pause and just marvel at the wonders that are this planet?
I know that I don’t very often.
It’s pretty mind blowing to think about what goes on when you put a small seed in fertile soil, add water and sunshine and it magically transforms into something so beautiful and often delicious too.
It is almost beyond my comprehension to contemplate the way that the tides move in and out and that a forest will burn from time to time in order to clear brush and end up healthier in the long run.
Celebrate and Uplift with Inspired Action

Today is Earth Day! You’ve probably seen television ads and programs spotlight products that are “green” and eco-friendly. You may have already taken part in events in your community to mark the occasion: streamside cleanup, community gardening, or perhaps tree planting.
Earth Day, officially declared as April 22nd here in the U.S. in 1970, was conceived as a day to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment. More and more of us are joining in with Earth Day activities.
