"The earth is our home. There is no Plan B and if we don't act now, we may not have a home anymore. We will be the doing of our own extinction. Climate change and Pollution are real. The earth is hurt and dying and we ALL must do our part to help her. Speak out. This is important. We must fix this. For the animals, for the trees, for the ocean, for ourselves, for the bees, for our future. We must.

#Bismillah To all of my people that knew me before I was Yusef, please listen to me now. If you trust me you know that I speak the truth. ISLAM saved my life and it is the path and answer to all of our problems that exist in the community, spiritually, socially, mentally, economically and some. Reclaim your roots and your identity as human beings and be empowered as I have been empowered by the religious of traditional Islam, the faith of the Mandinka (Mandingo)Tribes, our Ancestors, the Moors and so many other West Africans that were brought to the Americas by force. Islam helped me to reconnect, I no longer see Blue and Red I see Black and Brown, we are one. Stop killing each other and lets build more than a dream together as SERVANT LEADERS, BOSSES, ENTREPRENEURS, FATHERS , UNCLES AND MORE. We Got This!!!! I Did it (with the Hep of Allah) and so can you!!! #muslim #islam #changeisgood #changeisreal (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKPEFrIJ_sF/?igshid=a6nlnonjbt82

This time of year so reminds me of my years of extremely dry, sensitive skin. I love Shawna's story and her journey from skeptic to believer! "This is so hard to do, but here is why I believe in these products. I have an autoimmune disease that was inflaming my skin and assumed that since nothing else helped topically, as it was an internal issue, why try R+F? Besides, I was a skeptic about the before and after photos. Finally in February 2016 I decided to try it since I could get my money back. I could feel a change in texture even before I started seeing a change, so I stuck with it. The before picture is actually with foundation, the after is without. My skin has never felt better." If you or someone you know suffers with dry, red, irritated skin, PM me, I know first hand how our Soothe Regimen can help! #soothyourself #changeisreal #loveyourskinagain

“People with lived experiences in the mental health system are the missing ingredient for trauma informed success!” Hopepersists.com Yesterday my drug court wellness group talked about trauma informed care. Everyone was so engaged and the conversation was great. Let’s have a recovery system that lifts people up instead of shouting them down. #trauma #traumainformedcare #peersupport #drugcourt #recovery #mentalhealth #whathappenedtoyou #hopeisreal #alifeworthliving #dualdiagnosis #liftpeopleup #recoveryblogger #mentalhealthblogger #recoveryauthor #mentalhealthauthor #recoverywriter #mentalhealthwriter #dialogue #talkaboutit #breakstigma #stampoutstigma #mentalhealthstigma #peoplecanchange #changeisreal #hope https://www.instagram.com/p/B5na6PXFuYj/?igshid=jhbn1teo6e79

Five steps to save the environment within 24 hours

Five small steps, if followed correctly and with enthusiasm/passion, can have a positive impact on the environment the moment you finish the list. Begin today and spread the word so the world can see a change.

One. Compost- It is not difficult, it is not tedious, and it is definitely not harmful for the environment. From composting your Christmas tree to your food scraps, it can all be done in a few steps. By composting your food, you are regulating natural food cycles of microorganisms and ensuring that your backyard is the most eco-friendly place out there. 

Two. Stop buying bottled water! You would be amazed at the impact that is caused by buying and consuming bottled water. Let me break it down for you- every year, an average American purchases 167 bottles of packaged water. Out of this 167, only 38 were recycled (Fishman, 2007). In addition, there are misconceptions about bottled water, many being the claim that it is purer and better water- this is not true at all. Buy a water pitcher because it is cheaper, greener, and healthier for you and your environment.

Three. Plant plants- Go outside (Or remain indoors) and plant a few seeds. Make it your priority to water it when you drink your first glass of water every morning. This will brighten your home. Easy step, big difference. A great way to help the environment would be to plant trees in areas where you are allowed to do so at a regular basis; for example, my goal for the year is to plant ten plants every month. My college dorm room is fresher and brighter thanks to my ten new plants! 

Four. Save a few gallons of water. As most of you know, people die every day due to shortage in water supply. Make it your goal to shower for two minutes less every week until you find your sweet time spot. For me, a five minute shower is more than enough (I went from 30 to 5 in two years after realizing how much water I was wasting for no reason). Shorter showers is a win-win situation for both for your environment and for your community. 

Five. Local produce- In almost every town that I have lived in, there have been local grocery stores and farmer’s markets. Take a few hours to go to these stores and buy fresh, local fruits and vegetables. Your local farmers and your body (healthier food!) will thank you for your contribution. Local produce is yummy produce. 

If you do this today, you will help the environment in a beautiful way. You will have to put in minimal effort, but the impact that your actions will cause will create a positive change for the community that you are a part of.
