A TO Z Challenge: E is for Earth

We live on planet Earth. Therefore, it's only right that she gets a shout out. Our Earth has gone through many changes from the Ice Ages where most of our planet was covered in ice to her current status in which it's either too hot or too cold. Nevertheless, we should treat our planet as we would like to be treated ourselves. Let's make an effort to pick up our trash and place it in the trashcan instead of on the floor. Our Earth deserves this and so much more! Without her where would be…hopefully not Venus!

Observing your Surroundings

There is nothing like seeing life 
with your own eyes!

Stop and Look!

Have you ever taken time out of your day to stop and look? Well, you should! Take your head phones off, place your cellphone in your pocket or handbag and just look at your surroundings. There are so many interesting things happening. Start slow, stop and look on your commute to work or on your way home. I recently stopped and looked on a plane ride to Louisiana, New Orleans. I took my headphones off, listened to the sounds of others around me and ingested the images that laid before my eyes. I saw things only seen in textbooks or google. We have an amazing world that we walk on everyday. It's time that we stop and look at what it has to offer.
