While 'we've all heard of climate change' and have seen evidence of coastal flooding (where 40% of residents live with predictions for higher numbers still), we may not know 'where to turn for reputable information' and key ways to get involved.

Thanks to the outreach online, The Climate Reality Project and Friends of Earth.org are making some headway in getting the word out. We are on the clock, and 'turning back the hands of time' is what we can strive to do to buy us precious years and decades...but it won't be easy.

Scientists, Mystics and Sages is a very intriguing conference that will hatch out in Santa Ana Pueblo in New Mexico. The subtitle is "Igniting the New Human Story.' The conference cost is below a thousand dollars ( Not including the cost of the hotel or travel etc, although there are some special rates at a couple of hotels....) Check out more online and see some inspiring videos. Likely some amazing people will be finding their way to the conference, in addition to those presenting! I am definitely interested...and will see what's in the stars for me.

So far in early August in the USA, there have been 39 deaths of children left or found in cars (some that they get into on their own, so an important reason to check cars often before and after using them and to lock the car and keep windows and doors closed to prevent someone from climbing in to hide etc.) Safety advocates are promoting better standards for the auto industry yet more can be done by parents, drivers and communities at large in every state.
 
We could promote having a Doll or Toy large enough (and with a tee shirt with the child's name on it) that a person puts in the car seat

I had a young friend roll some story blocks a few times (a new chapter each time)..and made up a story in a few minutes about a bridge waving to a rainbow, then a powerful force freezing the rainbow..but in the end after the advice of a question mark was honored by a chance helpful entity needing guidance (eating an apple and looking in all directions, including up and down, side to side and actually moving one's head when doing so) the spell was broken...

That was around 3 pm today. Hope all are safe and our 'storm stories' are over for the day...

Even as I heard the start of the

This morning I read the first 58 pages of Real Happiness, The Power of Meditation by Sharon Salzberg (author of Lovingkindness), a 28 -day program. I found it helpful to hear from someone whose taught thousands of people from all walks of life in part through the Insight Meditation Society she co-founded with Jack Kornfield and Joseph Goldstein.

The basic idea for starters is to appreciate that many people benefit from being able to 'calm down and tune into' their very own breathing in (slowly) and out (also slowly) ideally for 20 minutes a day in a  consistent quiet place at a regular time.
