Beseech

I am sitting in my tree-house bedroom. Windows on either side reveal the new spring forestation. Holiday lights twinkle around the perimeter of the ceiling (which has many dips and alcoves). Two extra long twin foam mattresses have been combined to create one large bed. Tapestries drape above the bed and family pictures take up one whole wall. There are far too many Guadalupe candles and pictures to count. Two old, crackly speakers are perched on the floor blasting pop from the 60s.

 The skies have released a massive thunderstorm; trees are swaying, sheets of rain pouring down the roof, water sprays through the screen windows. As I admire my personal hideout and the storm that is brewing I cannot help but think that the weather has not been natural. Global climate change has strongly affected Minnesota. Last year we hardly had any snow at all, and this year we had blizzards in mid may, and now we are having hot weather one day and cold the next.

It makes me sick to realize that the world IS changing, it IS being hurt by us everyday. It also frustrates me that people acknowledge global warming and then get in their car and drive off to the gas station. I realize that it is hard to make a 180 switch, but I wish people would try more.

Carpool! Take the bus! Walk! Bike! Scooter! Rollerblade!

All of these modes of transportation are good - take in the scenery, get exercise, feel good about not hurting your environment! These are easy things to add to/change about your daily routines. Obviously there are MANY ways to help, I ask you to please add or change one aspect of your life to benefit the environment. It will not only help the world, but you will feel better about yourself for doing so!

Sappy Friend Inspiration

I don't know if you ever check out the page on my blog called "BLOGS I ENJOY" (up at the top right). Basically that page is a compilation of the best bloggers on the internet. I am sure I am missing some amazing people, so let me know if I am.. But dang, I get so much inspiration from those people.

Here are some recent beautiful pictures from people I love (click the photo to check out their blog):

what mega babes, right??

I am 100% positive that the best part of blogging is the friendships you make. I have friends, literally, all over the world. I feel so good knowing that there are like-minded people who not only inspire me in my personal style, but also connect on a spiritual level. I feel so lucky to have these people in my life.

Hello.

There is a song at the end of this post and I highly suggest you listen to it. (Go do that, read this while it's playing!)

This morning I cuddled with my kitten, Monster for 3 hours (not exaggerating). Then I put up TONS of pictures on my wall from my childhood/a few years back. Now I am going to make lunch then head over to a friend's house. Today is looking good.

Like my shades? They're prescription
