Covering less than 2 percent of the Earth's total surface area, the world's rainforests are home to 50 percent of the Earth's plants and animals.
Temperate rainforests used to exist on almost every continent in the world, but today only 50 percent – 75 million acres – of these forests remain worldwide.
A typical four square mile patch of rainforest contains as many as 1,500 flowering plants, 750 species of trees, 400 species of birds and 150 species of butterflies.

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?
My children. For doing what I've already done and having the dignity, grace and courage to do it better and to learn from my and their own mistakes. ANYONE who knows that the greatest of LOVE, HOPE AND FAITH truly is LOVE. That life is a gift from GOD, and Grace (which is) unmerited Love IS God's greatest gift to us). For the longest time I didn't get this 'Life is a gift thing'. But God allowed for an opportunity, and brother did I learn how precious life truly is. Shown that our past does not have to steal all our present joy. My three granddaughthers (who are 7, 2 and almost 2), celebrate life every minute of each day. Whether it's listening to a cricket or bee, bending down to view a flower, chasing a puppy, eating their favorite fruit or ice cream ... Beautiful. Simplicity. Love to listen to them explain life's greatest mysteries w/a child's innocence & simplicity. I adore my daughters & granddaughters.
