Someone from the new Myspace saw this on Pinterest, and I found it to be one of the most beautiful photos that I had seen in a long time. I googled the photo and found that it had come from this site: http://verheyen.art.artlimited.net/ Photographer: +Frans Peter Verheyen

I want to be there. I want to walk down that street alone. I can smell the air, and I'm in Heaven.

**FACE-OFF WITH A LIONESS**

This is just a boatload of awesome right here.

Blessed that I got to witness this. I felt emotional just by his description of the event. Wow! Some parts were funny too. The whole cat family is just the coolest of creatures in my opinion. But this video is not what you think. I don't want to spoil it for you, so just watch it. It's very short, but very powerful.

**CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL CURIOSITY DAY**
Has your curiosity hugged the color gray today?

"Do you see people in black and white? They are either good or bad. Saints or sinners. We should leave that manichean view to the fairytales where one is either an innocent princess or a wicked witch. In reality, there are many shades of gray in between. And humans are rather colorful." Source: http://bit.ly/59X7S

I believe nations and other entities work the same way. While there may be beauty and ugly, convenience and inconvenience in every country or in every culture, there is also a lot of in-between-ness that only time-consuming curiosity can resolve. 

"It's a lot easier to just have an absolutist view of the world: Good vs Bad, God vs the Devil, the Virtuous World vs Evil [insert nation of your choice]. Seeing the world in shades of gray is... more »

Sign Petition and Tell Obama We Oppose Monsanto's Man Michael Taylor as Head Of FDA

Then Share to All

"President Obama, I oppose your appointment of Michael Taylor, a former VP and lobbyist for Monsanto, the widely criticized genetically modified (GM) food multinational, as senior advisor to the commissioner at the FDA. Taylor is the same person who as a high-ranking official at the FDA in the 1990s promoted allowing genetically modified organisms into the U.S. food supply without undergoing a single test to determine their safety or risks. This is a travesty.
Taylor was in charge of policy for Monsanto's now-discredited GM bovine growth hormone (rBGH), which is opposed by many medical and hospital organizations. It was Michael Taylor... more »

**CAT PORN LOVERS CIRCLE**

Yes, here it is. There must be some mistake. I had no idea I had 168 of you in here. (:o If you're in this circle and feel you don't belong here, let me know so I can find you a new owner home funkytown circle. 

If you're not here and want to be let in on my life with Bella (not Bella), my owner cat, let me know. I'll also post some fun facts about cats too. I do A LOT of reading on cat psychology, cat behavior, cat body language, cat intelligence, and all the sorts and they are really fun for me and hopefully for you as well. 

I admit that I am one of those notorious crazy cat ladies that you hear about. If you only knew the details, you'd probably have me locked up! For example, I see my cat being superior to myself, I talk to her, find her to be wise, I feel humbled in her presence, I findh... more »

"Do not bring people in your life who weigh you down. And trust your instincts ... good relationships feel good. They feel right. They don't hurt. They're not painful. That's not just with somebody you want to marry, but it's with the friends that you choose. It's with the people you surround yourselves with."
― Michelle Obama

I'm a modified-omnivore when it comes to food. I'm not wound up too tightly in this regard with an exception to certain meats and I don't eat fast food. But food fraud like this is just wrong. No reason to be hyper-paranoid, but reason to be careful no matter where you live. What they don't tell you (the global-collective "you" as it's happening in other countries as well) could possibly fill libraries.

**Just BEET It**

:-)

I created my own juicing recipe and this has been the most delicious thus far.

--1 red bell pepper
--1/2 lemon
--a tiny piece of ginger root
--1 smallish medium-sized beet (yummmmmmmmmmmm!)
--tiny slithers of garlic
--1 pear
--3 carrots
--1 whole big package of kale
--1 huge cucumber

Just be careful not to add too much ginger! I made that mistake once, but drank it all up anyway.

I love juicing because I never used to like chewing/eating/digesting vegetables albeit a few exceptions. So by juicing, I get to eat TONS of produce in the most tasty and efficient way possible. Everyone's different, but it's the way I prefer to consume them anyway. Since I've begun juicing, I have felt so energetic and my health problems don't feel as severe as before.           ... more »

I haven't heard something THIS beautiful in a long time! Three peas in a pod, I say. Wow!

Peter Gabriel's "Red Rain" performed by Natalie Merchant of 10,000 Maniacs, Michael Stipe of REM, and of course Peter Gabriel.

from  ♥ The Book of Love  ♥

by Peniel (who is Me! NepTune)

The Mind ~ Power Tool of Creation

The Mind is both the Human’s Achilles’ Heal and Strength... From tender, young ages the majority of Humans are woven into an intricate web of Mind control... The “educative” focus being the Mind, and a structure which sets children in competition AGAINST One another...

IQ being the Mean by which an individual’s potential usefulness in society is rated... The success of a Child is rated by their ability to conform and apply Memory... Even within the Creative Arts there is little Freedom granted for a Child to Express their TRUE SELVES...

O, let us not forget, that the Physical Body is also taught to compete... Break-time in playgrounds across the Land are filled with children playing competitive sports... There is Always a Winner and aLoser...

**Child abuse can cause cancer**
 Heart attacks also included...

"People often say that children are resilient and they'll bounce back, but we found that there are events that can have long-term consequences on adult health," said Kenneth Ferraro, distinguished professor of sociology and director of Purdue's Center on Aging and the Life Course. "In this case, people who were frequently emotionally or physically abused by their parents were more likely to have cancer in adulthood, and the link was greater when fathers abused sons and mothers abused daughters. Overall, the more frequent and intense the abuse, the more it elevated the cancer risk.

"We would like to see child abuse noted as an environmental factor that can increase cancer occurrence in adulthood. More research on this topic also could help mediate the effects or improvei... more »

**ALL Suffering Counts**
I dislike the below image.

This image you see down below has been floating around on the web for a few years now. I don't know the original creator nor do I know if the statistics are correct, but I do have an opinion on it. While this is true and factual (to a degree or not), feelings small or big should never be belittled. One’s suffering should never be compared to that of another. 

“There exists such a thing as boasting about misery. One sentence in ‘Cruel’ deals with that: ‘Dance with the Sufis celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain’. When I had a miscarriage, there were people who said: ‘Yes, but you only lost an unborn child. Our son was murdered!’ For some people things aren’t bad enough as it is. And some hang on to the fact that The Most Terrible Thing happened to them: they entered at #1 in the chartsof pain. And then ... more »

**LIFE IS A TRICKY BALANCE**
And why curiosity matters so much in spite of it being a pain in the boob!

I'd recommend to research extensively anything this extreme before giving it a try. I sympathize this woman's desire for a new path and for a sense of well-being. However, it's not so much the lifestyle she chose that killed her, but the lack of thorough research and curiosity that did her in. 

I've been there. I can relate to a degree. For every medical opinion out there, I'd reckon there are probably hundreds of opinions that counter it or provide similar alternatives. It takes great pains on all levels to read up on every angle, every case study, and to gather enough evidence. But in the end in spite of the hassle, it just may save lives.  

Just to add to the complexity of it all? Every human body IS differentand ... more »

**Juicing and Oxidation via the centrifuge juicer**

This is bat shit crazy and seems a bit dramatic. Can anyone clarify this for me?  Otherwise, it defeats my purpose entirely if I keep the same juicer. 

"from the research i've done... when using a juicer like this (a centrifugal juicer) your juice begins breaking down immediately and within 15 minutes there is no nutritive value left in your juice. 

at that point it's just sugar." Per this link: http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?63306-How-fast-does-fresh-juice-lose-it-s-nutritional-value

If this is correct, my dinner last night was just sugar. Calling on you too +Scott Swain!

I have been reading my head off. And it seems that nobody can agree on how much nutrition is lost, for example, if I drink my veggie juice 12-24 hours later.
