You can spend your time planning and preparing , but until you take that first step its all just speculation.Life can only be understood backwards. But it must be lived forward. You can't wait for certainty to start living. Because by the time you're certain, the moment has passed.

The fastest way to know if something will work for you is to try it. Learn to proceed without confidence. Life doesn't come with a trail period, GPS or step-by-step guide for becoming who you are meant to be. Everyday you're writing a story without knowing the ending. 1/2

As a single parent, My mom depended on food stamps/free lunches for her 4 children. She was disable. I was embarrassed then, now I'm extremely grateful.

"If we lose hope, we're doomed."

We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

"There can never be world peace until we can learn to live in harmony with nature – as well as with each other." 💚

So says Dr. Jane, one of the UN’s Messengers of Peace, on #PeaceDay. She asks each of us to think about how we can make this world more just, more compassionate, and more peaceful.

The Jane Goodall Institute of Canada has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1st, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, has passed away due to natural causes.

She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.

As Dr. Jane – one of the United Nations' Messengers of Peace – says, you can look into reducing your environmental footprint.

You can use less water.

You can eat more plant-based meals.

You can help at your local animal shelter.

You can do so much, today on #PeaceDay and every day.

Poor guy

Life after death In the Ramtops Village they believe that no-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock he wound up winds down – until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence. — Terry Pratchett

GNU Terry Pratchett. Our patron, whose wit, humanity, and imagination live on – in our memory, in the humanist values we share, and in his beautiful, wonderful, and beloved books.
