Monday Motivation

Happy Monday!  I am grateful for my "green" thumb.  So far, it's been green.  Yet to be determined.  I planted beets, squash, cucumber and basil in Denver.  Squash, bell peppers, dill and carrots in Santa Fe.  The squash is thriving in both cities.  Some carrots and beets.  The peppers are emerging.  It is still too soon to see how they are taking.  My indoor lettuce is a dud.  Oh, and I have ginger I am trying to grow from another ginger root.  That, too, is a work in progress.  I follow a few influencers and am interested in growing ginger indoors.  I have seen a few techniques on how to prep it.  I am hopeful.

Find a habit and make it yours.  What area of your life would you like to improve?

Health?  Finances?  Relationships?  Communication?  

Personally, I need to restrict my podcast intake.  I tend to listen to political podcasts, and it is affecting me.  I am overwhelmed by the apathy of people.  The alligator concentration camps supported by the current administration and their base is disgusting.  Thirty-two people per cage.  Three toilets per cage.  I have heard accounts that toilet water is what is available to drink.  Can you imagine?  This is inhumane.  And, for what?  Because this administration deems you do not matter.  That you no longer deserve dignity, respect, humanity.

They are racially profiling people.  They are not going after criminals.  Women and children are not criminals.  Farm workers are not criminals.  Day laborers are not criminals.  Restaurant workers are not criminals.  Construction workers are not criminals.  

These are people looking to improve their lives.  

If you are Christian, remember the tenet of do onto others......I am a lapsed Catholic.  I do not apologize for it.  I know my dad is disappointed in me, but I don't care.  I won't follow this hypocritical religion.  Minimizing women.  Suppressing pedophiles in the church.  Tithing people who cannot afford to pay rent. 

I am committed to speaking out, sharing food and building community.
