It Won't Be Long Now

 With temperatures in the 60's this week, it will not be very long before we see scenes such as this appearing in gardens.  The butterfly reminds me of transformation.
We all need to transform ourselves and raise our consciousness regarding food and how our choices affect our health, our planet, the global poor, and how we treat animals.  It is time to adopt a more
Christ-Like consciousness and wake up and allow compassion to lead in our choices.
TAKE ONE BABY STEP TODAY that shows compassion.
1. Use black beans in a recipe instead of ground beef.
2. Grab a piece of fruit instead of a cookie.
3. Substitute water for soda.
4, Eat  raw nuts and seeds for a snack.
5. Cut back on fast foods.  If you have to drive
   to drive through to get it, keep driving.
A short list for now, but start thinking and planning about what you can do to make a difference.
