"If we are to have real peace in the world, we shall have to begin with the children."
Gandhi
"We must inoculate our children against militarism, by educating them in the spirit of pacifism... Our schoolbooks glorify war and conceal its horrors. They indoctrinate children with hatred. I would teach peace rather than war, love rather than hate."
-- Albert Einstein
"The greatest gift we can give to our children is to raise them in a culture of peace."
-- Louise Diamond
"We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon."
-- Franklin Delano Roosevelt
We all should know that diversity makes for a rich tapestry, and we must understand that all the threads of the tapestry are equal in value no matter what their color.
There are many different religions to bring comfort and happiness to humanity in much the same way as there are particular treatments for different diseases. For, all religions endeavour in their own way to help living beings avoid misery and gain happiness. And, although we can find causes for preferring certain interpretations of religious truths, there is much greater cause for unity, stemming from the human heart. Each religion works in its own way to lessen human suffering and contribute to world civilization.

I love to read! That's one of my passions.Give me a good book and I may devour it in one sitting!=] I enjoy crafts such as scrapbooking, crochet,jewelry making ,artist trading cards and altered art.
I swap artist trading cards. It is really neat to see all the talent there is out there. If you're a swapper and would like to trade,just message me.
Other things that tickle my fancy: Natural healing (herbs,crystals,reiki), Native American Spirituality, Women's Spirituality, Mythology,Psychology. Learning about different cultures and world religions.
I want to do whatever I can to make a difference in the world.I believe in volunteering to help others and speaking out for those that can't speak for themselves.
I believe that we should all do something everyday to help someone else~
I love learning and experiencing new things. There's so much I want to do and learn.I just hope I can accomplish doing most the things I dream of in this life time.:)
I am a nature lover. I find that I am happiest communing with nature, star gazing or sitting by the river watching the sunset.I enjoy and am grateful for the beauty of our green earth.Yes I am one of those crazy tree huggin people. lol
I am someone concerned with what is happening to our environment and to our wild life. We need to stop, think and react...and care a lot more,before it's too late.
In the eyes of a child you will see the world as it should be
Children are the bearers of life in its simplest and most joyous form. Children are color-blind and still free of all the complications, greed, and hatred that will slowly be instilled in them through life." [Keith Haring, 1986]

Your spirit guide is the Wolf. A noble creature
who travels in a pack and is always the
leader, the wolf understands the time of day
when all things come to contemplate the night
and the moon. Unlike other spirit guides,
the wolf protects its chosen person with a
ferocity unlike any other. If harm comes
near you, the wolf is quickly to let out a
howl to others and let them know that you are
already claimed and loved. You are a person
who is quite often very quiet. You often
think about things with a leader's mind,
analyzing things until you can see what makes
the situation or object

"I have come to the frightening conclusion
that I am the decisive element.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess tremendous power to make
life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration,
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides
whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated,
and a person is humanized or de-humanized.
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse.
If we treat people as they ought to be,
we help them become
what they are capable
of becoming."
Goethe
Heroes

Thanksgiving ?
We return thanks to our mother, the earth,
which sustains us.
We return thanks to the rivers and streams,
which supply us with water.
We return thanks to all herbs,
which furnish medicines for the cure of our diseases.
We return thanks to the moon and stars,
which have given to us their light when the sun was gone.
We return thanks to the sun,
that has looked upon the earth with a beneficent eye.
Lastly, we return thanks to the Great Spirit,
in Whom is embodied all goodness,
and Who directs all things for the good of Her children.

"Wiccans believe that the spirit of the One, Goddess and God exist in all things. In the trees, rain, flowers, the sea, in each other and all of natures creatures. This means that we must treat 'all things' of the Earth as aspects of the divine."

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.~B.Russell
Hmmmm...how to describe the complex person that I am?:)So many facets of me....LOL.! Here we go...I'm Mexican American,with a little German thrown in the mix.:) I was born in California,but have lived in New York,Mexico And California through out my life. I'm very proud of my Hispanic heritage.:)
I'm married and I have 3 daughters ,whom I adore.I am very family oriented.Family is my priority.I value and cherish our time together.I am fiercely protective of those I love.My mom is my best friend.I've really learned to value and respect her through the years.She's a remarkable woman.
I work in the medical field.It's great!I enjoy the patients very much. I was in the Early Childhood field for a very long time. The job I loved most was working with developmentally delayed and autistic children.Immensely rewarding !I love children and always want to be involved in helping them in any way I can. I'm happiest when I can do something to help others or making a difference in the world,even if it's tiny.:) I like to make others laugh and feel happy.This is why I hope to join the Peace Corp, or some organization like it that helps people around the world.
I tend to be very passionate and intense about everything I do.Sometimes people are intimidated by this, I know.When I find something touching, I will cry instantly!If something strikes me as being funny well then I'll laugh until my gut hurts.:)I believe that life should be lived fully and vigorously.NOTHING should be taken for granted.Live, love laugh!Loyalty is very valuable to me, and I cherish my friends. I consider myself to be a spontaneous ,fun loving, spiritual person. I tend to be real quiet, serious and introspective at times but mostly
I enjoy getting to know people and learning about different cultures,beliefs religions,etc.
I have no tolerance for cruelty,injustice or prejudice, of any kind.I believe that most people have something positive to contribute to the world,if only given the opportunity and the tools.
Somethings I just can't tolerate are deception and hipocrisy.Just give me some truth,no matter how hurtful.I'll deal with it.I also can't stand when people are inconsiderate of others, rude,judgemental or mean!.I believe in tolerance and diversity,and respect the beliefs of others,and I ask that people respect mine as well. I can't stand bigotry!I am an eclectic Pagan,forever changing and learning.I hope to meet others that follow Pagan paths,but accept friends of all different beliefs. We all need to learn to co-exist!
I love learning.I have a very inquisitive nature. I need to know things and tend to be quite resourceful when I want to learn about something. :) I love that I can get on the internet and have instant answers to anything I want to know.I love books.They are brain food.I believe the mind needs and should be constantly stimulated. I only wish I had more time to learn all the things I'd like to...oh well,one day at a time right? I believe that education is the key to battling the ills of the world.
If you can relate to me from what you've read, and would like to get to know me,feel free to send me a message with your friend request. I love getting to know people.I can't believe how many interesting,wonderful,spiritual,awesome,peace loving people I have found on myspace!People I probably would never have had the opportunity to know if it were not for MySpace.For this I'm grateful!I enjoy each one of the people I've met!
Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate."
Author:Albert Schweitzer
Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not so much
Seek to be consoled as to console;
To be understood as to understand;
To be loved as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
O' GREAT SPIRIT
help me always
to speak the truth quietly,
to listen with an open mind
when others speak,
and to remember the peace
that may be found in silence.

"When one defines oneself as Pagan, it means she or he follows an earth or nature religion, one that sees the divine manifest in all creation. The cycles of nature are our holy days, the earth is our temple, its plants and creatures our partners and teachers. We worship a deity that is both male and female, a mother Goddess and father God, who together created all that is, was, or will be. We respect life, cherish the free will of sentient beings, and accept the sacredness of all creation." Edain McCoy
