@taci,

I believe you it is not safe for Americans. Taci Cancún is where my family goes to
go diving and enjoy life. I hope they don’t go until things are peaceful and safe for all.

How is the Roof holding up I saw so much snow up in the California Mountains I hope
it is not a lot of flooding should the rain melt all that snow too quick.

Be safe. ✨

This is for all my California and Florida Girls enjoy the sun and the warmth. 😎🌹✨

Enjoy this beautiful winter’s Saturday Peeps. ✨✨

Sheba, it’s been raining here all day also, and expected to most of the weekend. I took a day off from hiking. Yesterday I was so tired after my hike that i drove home and didn’t do much.
You heard about the people who crossed the border into Mexico where a women was going for some surgery, right? Not sure you all know but people here go to Mexico often for Dental, Medical, Plastic Surgery, Fun, etc… There is a popular Dentist who trained in the Mid-west. I had to drive to the Border (USA side) for work years ago to visit a client. Still I won’t even go to Mexico. Ever.
Be careful people.

Have a great weekend!

Peace Out Peeps enjoy your evening. ✨✨

Ants and Bees, a Metaphor

We can learn a lot from watching ants and bees, living in community and working for the greater good.

When we see ants and bees out in the world, we often see just one, but this belies the reality of their situation. More than any other species, ants and bees function as parts of a whole. They cannot and do not survive as individuals; they survive as members of a group, and the group’s survival is the implicit goal of each individual’s life. There is no concept of life outside the group, so even to use the word individual is somewhat misleading. Often, humans, on the other hand, strongly value individuality and often negatively associate ants and bees with a lack of independence. And yet, if we look closer at these amazing creatures, we can learn valuable lessons about how much we can achieve when we band together with others to work for a higher purpose.

Most ants and bees have highly specified roles within their communities, some of which are biologically dictated, and they work within the confines of their roles without complaint, never wishing to be something other than what they are. In this way, they symbolize self-knowledge and humility. They also display selfless service as they work for the common good. In many ways, they are like the individual cells of one body, living and dying as necessary to preserve the integrity of the whole body, not to protect themselves as individuals. In this way, ants personify the ability to see beyond one’s small self to one’s place within the greater whole, and the ability to serve this whole selflessly.

Ants and bees can inspire us to fully own what we have to offer and to put it to use in the pursuit of a goal that will benefit all of humanity, whether it be raising consciousness about the environment, feeding the hungry, or raising a happy child. Each one of us has certain talents we were born with, as well as skills we have acquired. When we apply these gifts, knowing that we are one part of a greater organism working to better the whole world, we honor and implement the wisdom of ants and bees. AMEN! ✨✨
