I know a lot of folks in D.C. are going to be having all-nighters tonight, because at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, Washington D.C. residents will be free to legally possess and use marijuana. Residents of the district are allowed to have up to two ounces of marijuana, twice as high as Oregon, Colorado, Alaska and Washington.

But the rest of the rules pertaining to legalization are about the same. You can’t use marijuana on federal land or public property. You can grow up to six plants at home, but only three mature at a time. You can also give an ounce of the plant as a gift.

Voters legalized marijuana by the widest margin yet with 64.9% of voters in favor. Unlike the other states, though, D.C. will have fewer regulations beyond those rules...

Ecstasy and bliss are your birthright. The only thing that keeps you from these is fear. There comes a time when you can set aside this fear and simply rejoice is everything. Love is all there is, truly.

Wonder and gratitude will tune you into the secrets of abundance that comes from love and the heart. When you know this, really know this, bliss will permeate your moments here.

This is an affirmation / prayer based on The Ecstasy of Surrender to awaken the wonder in your heart and keep it alive. In hard times and good times, repeat it to keep you aligned with abundance, success, and miracles.

I surrender to the miracle of all things.

I surrender to abundance in every form.

I surrender my fear and surrender to love every moment, every breath...

HJ: Your emotional state is everything.  You will rarely do something out of alignment with your emotional state.  And so it is important to be able to get a handle on it — but that does not mean denying or repressing or trying to escape an emotion, but therapeutically accepting and processing it in a healthful way that allows you to transcend it and move back into a place of peace and wholeness.

How to Dissolve Negative Emotions into Emptiness

By Giovanni Dienstmann | Wake Up World

Do you sometimes feel oppressed by negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, anger, shame, worthlessness, or depression? Are you open to discover a way to overcome them – transcend them – that requires no medication nor years of psychotherapy?...

Recently, bald eagles were reported flying around Staten Island. It may not sound like much, but it’s the first time in over 100 years that the eagles have been seen in the area. It raises hope that New York City may someday be home to bald eagles again.

Bald eagles nearly met their match at the hands of deforestation, hunting, and DDT poisoning. The national symbol of the United States dwindled to only 500 eagle pairs in the lower 48 states by the nation’s 200th birthday. Today, their numbers are ten times higher. In 2007, the bald eagle was de-listed from the government’s Endangered and Threatened Wildlife list.

Even still, the birds aren’t completely out of the woods. DDT is banned in the US now, but other toxins like mercury and lead are fatal to the eagles, even in lower doses...
