Elliot and I made these cute little ghost mosaics this afternoon that I got from @woodlark. We used small white beans and since I didn’t have dried black beans I just colored the eyes and mouth with black marker. Boo!

“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery. None but ourselves can free our minds.” ~ Bob Marley

This is such an important thing to remember, especially when there is so much negative shit going on in the world. Because there will ALWAYS be dark vibes and bad energy – you just have to be strong enough to block it from affecting you. It is a choice.

Mental slavery is no good for anyone. And I see it everyday in people’s behavior and how they treat others. It seems some are so miserable and lost that they complain every minute to the world like that will change anything. It won’t. It hasn’t. And it never will. And honestly, no one wants to hear it.

Social media these days is a garbage dump for whining, threats, name calling, fighting, and constant repeating of the same old crap we have all been hearing for the past 2 years. This is a negative way of communicating and it just divides us all. And this country certainly doesn’t need that. But if we all just raise our frequency a bit and shift our perspective, it’s possible to move forward TOGETHER.

You have the power to create the life you want and no one can tell you how to live it. Free your mind of the darkness that consumes it and rise above the low vibes you might be spreading to others. It’s just not doing any good for you or them. Be positive, spread kindness, open your mind a bit and try to see the beauty that is truly surrounding you.

Peace doesn’t come from everyone thinking like you. It comes from accepting others even if they are different and learning to live as a united species. If we all could just elevate ourselves above the drama, chaos, lies and dark energy that lurks in society and turn our heads to the biased media and people in power who don’t give a shit about us THEN one by one we can rise up and overcome. That’s how you evolve for change.

Elliot and I started our official nature studies today! Although I am always exploring Mother Earth with him I wanted to use a curriculum to guide us through each season. I finally got around to purchasing Exploring Nature with Children from @raisinglittleshoots and I absolutely love it, like I knew I would.

Yesterday was the beginning of Autumn Pond Study Week and we dove in this afternoon with a discussion about ponds: what they are, how deep they are, and what animals, bugs and plants would we find there. Then we studied the painting Nympheas by Monet and talked about the colors and what was in the water.

After, we got ready to draw our pond and first made a little list of some things we would find (from our discussion) and Elliot drew and wrote all of them down. Then he created his pond drawing with markers and crayons. He used Crinkleroot’s 25 More Animals Every Child Should Know as a reference guide.

To sum up our lesson, we relaxed on the couch for quiet time and summarized with Crinkleroot’s Animals again and read Fish is Fish by Leo Lionni, a favorite from our collection.

I am hoping to visit a pond nearby this Friday for some real life observations but today was a great start to our pond study and I am so happy Elliot is excited as I am.
