I have to say... if you meet a person who seems not quite right... instead of assuming the worst case scenario.. ask them how they are? Do they sleep well and when was the last time they can recall having a rem sleep? Up until just a few months ago I was averaging from 3 to 5 hours of sleep most nights. Working in high stimulus environments and too much responsibilities, this was a recipe for disaster and eventually the start of some scary health declines, uggg not good! At ...58 I knew all too well what kind of stress this was having on me. Without enough rem sleep, too many of us loose who we really are and eventually that can turn tragic if not rectified. Holistically speaking, if you don’t get enough rem sleep, over time your whole being is turned upside down, your mind, body and spirit can slip away. Since retraining myself to actually slow down and listen to the silent cries for help, I started to take care of me. Meditation, taking care of me holistically, not feeling guilty for actually taking care of me, yet maintaining a balance between working in a highly stressful environment without loosing myself in the chaos of work and living a holistic life. At first it was one day a week where I had a good nights sleep, and I felt young and revived the following day, then another and another followed. The weight is coming off my body now and I’m not really on a diet. I have more energy for my life and work and I have less migraines. I’m waking up earlier and feeling uplifted. Why? Because I’m getting enough REM SLEEP!!

Zoos are nothing but jails, but the fact is that animals suffer for no mistake of theirs by being put in one. No freedom, no natural environment, no food, depre...ssed and more than anything, no happiness. Each time a new 'attractive' species is procured from some corner of the world so that more people walk in. Please avoid encouraging zoos, it's on us. The day we stop going they automatically will be discouraged. Animals are supposed to be free in the wild, not inside cages. Note: We support zoo's with natural surroundings for conservation they are good for the species but we don't support zoo's with small cages who run for visitors and money. #StopAnimalCruelty #wedontdeservethisplanet
