UMA's SAVE THE WORLD IN 30 DAYS- April 09

The ripple of love needs to come from within you. If you love yourself (different from egoistic pride) you will begin to take care of your body- ranging from the food you eat, the air you breathe, the lotion you put on your skin, the detergent you use. You will also begin to nourish your soul with acceptance, respect and compassion and allowing space to express what you have inside. Slowly but surely, with self-love and its consequential joy and happiness, love for other beings (family, friends, even strangers), our land, our trees, our air, our ecosystem will also arise spontaneously. And you may begin to see the interconnection between you, your neighbours, strangers, the trees, the flowers, the air, the plastic sea, the sewage, the land fill etc. And you may awaken to the reality that we are what we eat, drink, do and think. The bleach you used in your cleaning is going back to the water reservoir you are drinking from. The plastic you just put in your bin is adding to the already frightening plastic sea from Japan to Hawaii. And so in UMA's save the world in 30 days- it always starts with you and your actions are not based on an obligation or duty but out of your love for yourself, your children and their children.
