WAKE UP WORLD!: Only you can make the change
by Jane Olivier
LOOK AT US… REALLY LOOK. What has become of us? We, the people, the ones with thinking minds, and hearts that beat slowly enough to allow us to stop and pause without the need to constantly feed for survival, are behaving like hummingbirds.
