Do you live in Florida? Would you like to ban plastic bags in your area? Tough luck! It’s illegal for any local or state government body in Florida to ban plastic bags. Really.

There are 132 cities and counties in the US that ban the bag in retail stores. State Senator Dwight Bullard wants to add Florida to that list, but Florida’s legislature in 2008 passed a ban on banning plastic bags. The Department of Environmental Protection in Florida recommended guidelines for better regulating plastic, but the state has not acted on it.

From the state’s charter:

“Until such time that the Legislature adopts the recommendations of the [DEP], no local government, local governmental agency, or state government agency may enact any rule, regulation, or ordinance regarding use, disposition, sale, prohibition, restriction, or t...

A British farmer by the name of Michael Buck decided that he was done paying for expensive mortgages and living the rat-race life. The retired school teacher decided to build himself a cob house on land that was already available to him for $250. Buck drew out the design on the back of an envelope and got to work.

The floor boards are made from salvaged boat materials.

The hatch roof was made from straw that he gathered and hauled from adjacent fields...

So, my darling child, you say you have a boring life.  You get up and move through your day, do what you need to do, go home and go to sleep only to get up and do it all over again.  You may have a partner, or not.  You may have family that loves you, or not.  You have friends that appreciate you for who you are, or not.  It all seems quite boring, conventional and repetitive.  But wait…….
The very act of you waking is a miracle!  The ability to move, even the least little bit, is a work of art!  Your thinking, reasoning brain is a joy!  The fact that you are alive and learning is amazing!  Please remember these things when you are feeling low and in desperate need to reassurance.  Your purpose is one of incredible power and immense importance.  You are needed! ~ Creator

HJ: Trying to do anything, loving yourself included, is futile.  You can only BE.  If you don’t love yourself fully, then you need to get to the root of why and deal with that.  And then you will start to become really happy spontaneously and start embodying — or rather BEing — love.  Then, by default, you love yourself.  Simple as that.

There can be times in your life where you experience accelerated energies that are not tangible, that do not come with outward movement. Let us reassure you that even if the changes are internal in the ways of shifting and transmuting energies within, the effects are as profound, true, and long lasting, as those that come with tangible accelerated movement, if not more so, because they are what will set the tone of what manifests to you in tangible way moving forward.

Hear us when we say that your internal shifting, assimilation, and overall energetic progress has been monumental this year. It is hard for you to judge how profound it has been, because it has been within. You will start to notice the true effect of those changes more and more as you continue to proceed through this enlightenment process that you are such an integral part of, on your earth, at this time.

Think of a child who is anxious to grow tall enough to enjoy a ride at an amusement park. Every day, even though the intelligent processes of the body are creating growth and expansion, there is little proof of that growth until the magical day that they realize they have passed the line. It will be much the same as you excitedly discover the new experiences that become available to you due to your accelerated and consistent growth. ~Archangel Gabriel
