Did you know that April is National Poetry Month? I didn’t,but I love the poster. How nice to designate an entire month to remind us of the importance of poetry in our lives. Almost everyone remembers a poem that touched them or affected them in some way. As a teenager, many of us may have picked up a pen ourselves and created poetry that expressed what we were feeling.
I’m especially fond of poets Rainer Maria Rilke and Mary Oliver.
Some people need drama – and lots of it. They’re not too interesting to be around and not very good as friends. But if you have a few in your life – send them this fun high drama video.
However, best is to not have high drama people in your life at all. Typically, they zap your energy and drain you quickly with all their high drama antics! Save your precious time and energy for living your own authentic life.

On the heels of Earth Day it’s important to stop and think. We are all connected. Forming one’s conscience isn’t about blindly following the rules. Instead it’s about asking, “whose rules?” or “who makes them and why?”
It’s about developing enough empathy to care about others and the planet with the way one lives, the life work one does and the policies and politics one supports.
More than an “Earth Day” we need an earth life. This requires ongoing education. Read. Read. Read. Learn more.
