A More Just, Compassionate and Healthy Future for People and the Earth

I so love this Pope! I hope you read this article and listen/heed his call. Pope Francis’ Encyclical Urges Swift Action on Climate Change Ahead of Paris Climate Talks Anastasia Pantsios    Today in Rome, Pope Francis released his long-anticipated encyclical on climate change , fueling precisely the international conversation the Pope hoped to drive. The widespread media coverage of the 180-plus page document , Laudato Si, or Praised Be to You, has undoubtedly increased public awareness of environmental issues dramatically. Photo credit: Shutterstock There were no big surprises in the encyclical, given its leak to the media earlier this week and the Pope’s ongoing speeches and remarks about the climate. But the encyclical, a letter from the Pope to the church bishops, give the official endorsement of the Catholic Church to his concern for the climate. Writing that “the Earth, our home, is beginning to look like an immense pile of filth,” the Pope emphasiz...

Favorite Soul Bloggers

I have set up my email inbox to be a source of inspiration and good news.  I thought I would share with you some of the bloggers that I hold in high esteem.  I can barely wait for each post or newsletter.  At times I find true synchronicity in their written words.  It's as if they are following along in my life and giving me direct love and guidance.

Resolve to Love Yourself This Year by Deborah Fike

Resolve to Love Yourself This Year by Deborah Fike “Love yourself. Forgive yourself. Be true to yourself. How you treat yourself sets the standard for how others will treat you.” ― Steve Maraboli It’s been a while since we made our New Year’s resolutions, and all our vows are quite well-intended.  Exercise more.  Pick up a long-lost hobby.  Reconnect with friends.  Maybe you’ve been sticking to your resolution, or maybe you’re disappointed that you haven’t gotten things quite off the ground yet.  But no matter how things are going, I urge you to tack on one additional resolution this year: Love yourself as you are right now. I’m a very self-critical and goal-oriented person.  I hold these traits dear because they made me who I am today.  But being driven comes with its own set of problems.  I am hard to satisfy, and I find there’s a fine line between self-criticism and sel...

Unconditional Acceptance of Yourself By Leo Babauta Many of us are familiar with the idea of loving our spouses, children, or parents unconditionally — and we might even try to practice that unconditional love, though imperfectly. But do we try to love ourselves unconditionally? Consider whether you do any of these (I sure do): Criticize your body. Feel like you need to improve at things. Feel guilty about things you do. Feel undisciplined, lazy, unhappy with yourself. Not feel good enough. Fear that you’re going to fail, because you’re not good enough. See yourself as not that good looking. Feel bad about messing up. For many of us, there’s an underlying feeling of not being good enough, wanting to be better, wanting to be in better shape or better at things. This isn’t something we think about much, but it’s there, in the background. What if we applied unconditional acceptance of who we are? What if we took a good look at ourselves, our body, our thou...
