Having an Eco-Friendly Wedding

If you want to have an eco-friendly wedding, there are many different things you can do to both save on paper and help the environment. Here are a few tips and suggestions that will get you started.

First, think about your dress. Does it have to be new? Why not wear your mother’s wedding gown, or buy a vintage one from an antique shop or a charity shop? Even the internet provides many places where you can buy beautiful vintage gowns or eco-friendly gowns.

Now, what about the food you serve? You may think that food doesn't make much of an impact on the environment, but think about all the plastic or paper dishes you throw away at weddings. What about the fact that people often leave things uneaten on their plates? Limit the choice, and people will probably be less likely to leave things uneaten. Also, why not provide fresh fruit and vegetable from your friends and relatives gardens and allotments?

Anything paper should be made from recycled paper, or go even more eco-friendly and eliminate the paper altogether—use electronic wedding invites instead of paper ones. Wedding invitations are traditionally made from thick, expensive paper, and they tend to cost a lot too. But modern wedding invitations but anything you want, so go electronic and save a tree and a lot of money at the same time.

What about decorations? Why not use wild flowers instead of getting your flowers from the florist? Or ask any relatives you know with gardens to bring some of their best flowers. You can use flowers for hair arrangements as well instead of expensive hair combs or a veil.

These are just a few of the things you can do to have a more eco-friendly wedding. Try to think of your own ideas too.

The Power of Patience

Patience may be practiced by all of us.  Do we choose to be at peace or complain? Patience is a choice. Patience gives us peace amidst the storm. Patience shows trust and faith in God and His power within us. Prayer & meditation are excellent ways to show God that you have both faith and courage.

Hold your temper, your thoughts, and emotions. You choose ways to show faith and patience. Prayer, meditation, and affirmation and help you to refocus your thoughts on the positive power of patience

Patience means stop counting the seconds as they tick by on the Wheel of Life. Patience is letting go of the outcome and focusing on the here and now. Patience allows ourselves to stop dwelling on the negative, and start dwelling on the positive within us. Patience gives you a chance to think positively and to keep in touch with your spiritual self.

We all have the ability to react calmly. It just seems that we forget in times of stress. In times when patience is challenged, we need to be still and go within Center you with Christ and silently say “I choose peace, I choose peace, I choose peace. Meditate on that thought until you feel at peace and one in God. Consciously choose peace.

A prayer for you from my book '”Inspirations”:

Prayer for Patience

Heavenly Father, Help me to have patience. I am always too easily

Stressed and worried about the future and do not take the time to relax and

Let it go, leave my issues in your competent hands. Help me to remember

That you are in charge and that impatience has no place in my life. Please

Bless me with the gift of patience. Amen.

Simple is a Key in the Life

A few years ago, I had been to Africa to see the wild animal. I found a phenomenon that there are some parts of animals are stranger than us. Why I say that? Here are some things could explain my ideas.

First thing is that the animals will not to lie to his partners. The 90％ messages what the animals release are the fact. In order to protect themselves, sometimes they transmit the false messages. But we all know that our society is full of lies when we break away from the ignorance mind includes the legend stories, great stories and educational stories. All the stories are wonderful. But when we find the facts, we will felt disappointed. In the animal world, we cannot meet with these things. Second, the animals always keep the rules in the nature. Those are the responsibilities for them. For example, the antelopes need to fight to get the female when they want to copulate. When an antelope wins the competition, it will choose the female. The other antelopes will never to plunder. But in the society of human beings, the wife will to be the best friend’s lover. The last thing in the animal’s world is real. When the children will die, mother protects kids. They will not give a high praise to mother, because it is the instinct for them.

The trust is a simple thing, so the life in the animals’ world is simple too. How can we get a simple life? At first, we need to keep the rules. These rules could make the society simple. Why so many people thought that the society is complicate, because of the rules. A boy said to a girl:” I will give the happiness to you.” the boy means that he has to work hard to her. But the girl wants to get the brand clothes and bags, delicious foods and big house immediately. So they broke up at the end because of the different rules. At last, if we want to have a simple life, we need to respect each other in the society. Respect is a key to win the competition.

Small Changes Lead To Big Changes

According to the National Institutes of Health, about 208 million tons of municipal solid waste is generated per year. In simple numbers that’s four pounds per person per day.

According to the Native Forest Network, each person approximately still receives almost 560 pieces of junk mail every year. 44% of it simply ends up in a landfill without even being opened.

Some 100 billion plastic bags are used and trashed by Americans every year.

These statistics are just the tip of an iceberg called environmental pollution. While the world is certainly trying to turn green in many ways, yet it is not possible if it is not adopted at grass root levels. Every household should take steps to change their homes into a green and eco-friendly living space. Here are a few easy tips to help you achieve that.

Save energy

The easiest way to save energy and money is to change all your incandescent lights into CFL lights. They consume 75% less electricity and lasts 10 times longer than the regular bulbs.

Save water

Although beaten to death, this is an advice that still needs a hearing. Water can be saved in so many different ways. Save while washing clothes in a machine, try to put a full load and at a lower temperature. Showers that are even two or three minutes shorter can make a huge difference. Use bucket instead of shower and shower in place of tubs. Install a low flow flush in toilets, which uses only 1.6 gallons of water as against the 3.5 gallons in old models.

Save trees

Old t-shirts and old clothes can become waste cloths to wipe and clean instead of paper. When buying paper, try to buy unbleached ones, as bleaching creates harmful byproducts. If you like wooden floors, opt for bamboo. They are environmentally friendly, and grow quickly, unlike hardwood trees, which take 50-100 years to mature.

Go local

A typical grocery food store product travels nearly 1,500 miles before settling in the aisle. Think about the carbon footprint it will leave. If you want to preserve your environment, go local. Support local farmers by buying from them. You’ll not only save energy, but also get the freshest of food.

Shop online

While the argument continues about how much carbon footprint online shopping may leave, you can still make the best use of it. For example, many stores associated with numerous online Cash Back websites will oblige with already-used packaging, or leave the catalogue out if you prefer. So, every small step counts to make a big difference.

There Is a Kind of Love like the Sea

It seemed all the flowers were withered away in that moment. The doctor was somber to announce: leukemia. Screaming, shocked, refusing to believe, she finally sobbed uncontrollably. Beside her, a pair of caring hands silently stretched out.

He was acquaintances, came to visit her together with her colleagues, but stayed after the crowd got separated. He did not say anything, just quietly wiped away the tears for her: “Do not be afraid.” When death came as a tsunami-like burst, she was cast in the center of the island. The crowd came to visit, and then hurried away, which seemed it had the vast flood between her and the society. Only he came every day, holding a bouquet of fragrant flowers, wiping the sweat for her, and wearing a red apple hairpin on her dry hairs because of chemotherapy, gently held her thin shoulders such as dragonflies.

At the time that she was the most to give up and the most desperate, he had such a calm face: “Stick to it, there is always hopeful. You are still so young.” His arm was so strong, and she would like to rely on his arm for a life.

For his gentle eyes, she was not willing to die. Finally she insisted to May, her cheeks became pink, and the final conclusion came out: adolescent anemia. She flew into his arms, and was so surprised to be incoherent, the first one to tell him this news. He hugged her tightly, slowly dripping tears.

We all thought it was a love through the life and death. But he quietly left. Later, she knew that just six months ago, under the first snow of winter, his girlfriend departed because of leukemia. He did not cry, but at her funeral, said: “I love you, forever.”

There is a love, like the distant sea. Even if it is evaporated by the hot sun, it will still turn into rain to sprinkle over the hungry earth.

Some people may ask the world have such a love? Yes, the world really has such a love, which will not change because of the time and space. The power of love is great; it can help us beat the pain, allows us be full of desire to life, but also allows us to cherish life.
