Ranting

Since becoming pregnant, my friends and family can attest to how easily I cry now. Anytime I see something on the news that involves some horror being inflicted to a child anywhere in this world, I cry. One of my best friend's came over to visit me a few weeks ago and we talked about her move next year, immediately I started crying. She didn't know how to react. On one hand, she has been used to seeing me cry throughout my pregnancy, on the other hand, how easily I cry is something else. Having baby K in my life has opened up my heart in so many ways, I can't even begin to describe it. At first I thought since I love him so much, there couldn't possibly be anymore room for me to love anything else. However, the powerful flow of the love that I have for him has expanded my heart in more ways than I could ever have imagined. Some people believe children pick their parent's before their birth. I believe baby K was sent to me like a little angel to inspire me to spread more love all around.

Which takes me back to the beginning of this blog. Seeing how innocent and delicate my baby is, I just can't understand how or why anyone would want to hurt a child. Children cannot defend themselves. Being around children is one of the best ways of seeing the law of attraction in action immediately. Children are so open with their feelings, they haven't learned how to put their guard up yet. When you cuddle and constantly show affection to them, they reward you with this full hearted smile that just takes your breath away. You grow overwhelmed with pride that you got to be the one to make them smile. So what happens to children who aren't being nurtured and cared for? Children who are abused? What do you think? How do they grow up?

I saw on an episode of 60 minutes a place in China where leftover computer and other technological materials are going to be "destroyed." People there are being paid this pitiful amount to do this so called job. Only they're not really doing it right and so dangerous toxins are seeping into their water and land increasing their chances of getting all sorts of cancer. It broke my heart to see a child playing in a small stream of water. The people there are aware of the danger from doing the job, but they are also desperate for the small amount of income. Now the important question becomes, how can anyone even allow for this to happen? Our their lives so meaningless that it's okay to leave them in this e-waste region? And what is it doing for our planet? Where do you think unwanted computer parts go? I'm sure not a lot of people are aware of the consequences that go along with throwing these items out. I urge everyone to look into this. We only have one planet that is sustainable for humankind, it is up to us to protect it.
