Something To Live For – Belladonna’s Flashlight

Searching for that something to give you hope!

What are we good for if we are hopeless and feel as though we have nothing to live for?

The power of hope can change your view on life, and the ugliest things begin to appear beautiful. But that will never happen if you don’t change how you think. Being negative or too scared to take chances will ultimately lead you into a self-made prison.

On the darkest days, you must find a reason to keep going.

You fell off your diet~ So what keep going

You failed at something~ So what keep going

No one but you believes in you~ So what keep going

You can’t see the finish line~ So what keep going

You are your only motivator ~ So what keep going

Search for the hope you need to keep going!

We all need that something (s) to live for. When we stop setting goals for ourselves, we lose the want and desire to live. Every day starts to look the same.

All hope is lost when your day consists of waking up, cleaning, cooking, going to the grocery store, watching tv, sleeping, and repeating tomorrow; that schedule will sink any ship. Refusing to be complacent will lead you to set goals that will better your life and others around you.

This leads me to today’s prompt.

Daily writing prompt
What are you most excited about for the future?

Goal setting makes me feel excited and gives me something to live for. My future self will be happy with all the late hours and hard work I am doing today.

But this isn’t about me.

I look forward to seeing my kids walk across the stage with their college degrees, watching my son play football, watching my daughter play soccer and basketball, having more HUGE Christmas Eve dinners, and more summer vacations. But most of all, I’m looking forward to spending the rest of my life helping others to find something to live for.

You could have chosen any blog to read, but you chose mine, and I’m honored!

Sketching red shelter – Frits Ahlefeldt

It was late when I reached the tiny shelter on the west coast, but it was free, so I didn’t have to walk on to find a place to pitch my tent

A Fable with a Message –  « Amazon Rainforest Magic The adventures of Namowë, a Yanomami boy » – For ages 8 to 12 to 100!  – written and illustrated by Barbara Crane Navarro – NOW ON KINDLE, TOO! | Barbara Crane Navarro

illustration from « Amazon Rainforest Magic – The adventures of Namowë, a Yanomami boy »

« Amazon Rainforest Magic presents a world that at first might seem whimsical, where people, animals, and plants joke, conspire, and argue with each other. The serious point is that humans are no more important than any of the other creatures – all are mutually dependent, some are just more aware of it than others.

The plants and the animals, each with special knowledge, accompany the hero, Namowë, as he embarks on a life-saving quest for a cure for his ailing youngest sister. When he embarks on this exciting journey through the jungle, he has already taken a big step toward maturity.

Behind the charming artwork and story is a clear message that we humans are not separate from our environment and that to put ourselves above nature is arbitrary and ultimately counter-productive. »

Review by John L. Pope

More information about the book series is here:

Yanomami boy’s surprise friend in the jungle!

Sometimes we miss the most beautiful moments – DON’T MISS THIS ONE! 

A 38 second film with Namowë, a Yanomami boy in the Alto Orinoco region, Amazonas, Venezuela

Yanomami boy’s surprise friend in the jungle is an excerpt of a film by Barbara Crane Navarro of instants of daily life of a Yanomami community in the Amazon Rainforest of Venezuela made to accompany the children’s book series: “Amazon Rainforest Magic” “La Magie de l’Amazonie” and “La Magia de la Amazonia”

A Yanomami shaman who, along with his community, inspired me to write the “Amazon Rainforest Magic” series! (this photo is a still from the longer film described below)

I created this 13 minute 16 second film of instants of daily life of a Yanomami community in the Amazon Rainforest to accompany my children’s book series: “Amazon Rainforest Magic” “La Magie de l’Amazonie” and “La Magia de la Amazonia”

– Here’s some information for anyone wondering why this longer version of the Yanomami film, originally posted in June 2014 and viewed over 26,000 times, has recently been rated “over 18”:  The Yanomami women in the film have bare torsos and small children are unclothed, as is traditional for them. There are no scenes that could be considered in any way suggestive. These moments of Yanomami daily life are woven with illustrations from my books of the “Amazon Rainforest Magic” series, available in three languages, both volumes of which show my drawings of Yanomami women and girls with bare torsos.

Thousands of copies of my books have been purchased for schools by a school book distribution company in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. I’ve also shown this film in schools while discussing Yanomami community life in the Amazon Rainforest for decades to acclaim by teachers, parents and students of all ages.

I hope you enjoy it!

Boycotts are a crucial weapon to fight environment-harming firms! — Palm Oil Detectives | Barbara Crane Navarro

Bill Laurance, James Cook University Campaigns and boycotts get the attention of large corporations, because they hit them where it hurts: their reputation and market share. Campaigns and get the attention of large corporations, because they hit them where it hurts: their reputation and market share Tweet In October 2000, I was driving through downtown Boise, Idaho, and nearly careered off the road. Just in front of me was a giant inflatable Godzilla-like dinosaur, well over 30m tall. It was towering over the headquarters of Boise Cascade, one of North America’s biggest wood products corporations. For […]
