1. Start a journal

Starting a journal is a wonderful way to involve your creative side, to explore your ideas and to put to work your new aims and see the progress. Make this journal positive so that you can read it and uplift yourself. Observe how you express yourself. Writing is a way of looking at your self through an outside view – what have you noticed about yourself as you read past journal entries? Let your mind be free to open up to new levels as you write. Writing can be a very freeing experience.

Mother Earth is astounding in what she looks like and offers us each day: beauty, oxygen, water, spectacular nature, and an environment that provides all we need to thrive. We don't need a New Earth, just new eyes and new ways to take better care of this Earth.

As more of us do this, over time it will seem as if we are on a New Earth and this is what visionaries have foreseen for so long. Collectively we are in the midst of this process right now. This has been so apparent to us this trip by the huge changes we have seen in the availability of food choices compared to 5 years ago. Organic, non-gmo, gluten and dairy free options are everywhere!

As individuals shift, purchasing decisions change, the demand for healthy food suppliers increases, options expand.

Global change in this new era is a grassroots movement facilitated by each and every one of us.

Gandhi said it "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

Are you feeling and experiencing a shift in your local world and community?

Dear Ones, you always have the choice of whether you wish to dance or sit on the sidelines. But which participant do you feel will consider themselves to have had a better time when the party is over? We encourage you to embrace the full experience of life, in whichever way feels best to you, because that is exactly what you have come on the planet to do. ~Archangel Gabriel

While it is estimated over 100 million people worldwide are homeless and as many as 1 billion people lacked adequate housing, the city of Houston, Texas has impressively reduced its rate of street-bound citizens by 50% in only four years, with homeless advocates pushing to bring the number to zero.

“We have truly gone from managing homelessness to ending homelessness,” said Marilyn Brown, CEO of the Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County in a statement. “We are just getting our second wind.”

As reported by Essence, the city of Houston has taken grand steps to alleviate the condition, including a plan in 2012 that added more than 250 new available housing units. More than 1,000 additional units are planned, and the number of homeless shelters has also increased. The efforts have delivered housing to more than 3,600 homeless veterans.
