The following article is from the Good News Network  From England’s South Downs National Park, one can trace a series of traditional hedgerows off into the distance farther than it’s possible to see. This mega hedge runs all the way across the county of Hampshire, to New Forest National Park, some 15 miles in length. The Hampshire Hedge, as it’s called, has been three years in the making, as volunteers and experts at making traditional hedges have come together to build an u

The daily news cycle is a deep reflection of the dualities we hold as humans in what we consider to be "reality". One channel will say one thing, while the next one contradicts it all. Somewhere between the two perspectives is the actual truth. Politicians are exposed for lying daily, and our friends and family never hesitate to spread a good lie when it benefits them to do so. It can leave us wondering where the accountability is on the highest levels, as well as in our own

The twelfth week of the year is ruled by the planetary influence of Jupiter, and the The Hanged Man archetype.

The following article is from the Good News Network  Researchers at the University of Waterloo have discovered a way to turn plastic waste into acetic acid, the main ingredient of vinegar, using sunlight.  The breakthrough offers a promising new approach to reducing plastic pollution through photocatalysis, while simultaneously creating a useful, value-added chemical product through a process inspired by nature. “Our goal was to solve the plastic pollution challenge by conv

In cyclical motion, we move through different phases of life by learning, letting go, and creating. Across an entire lifetime, we can trace various cycles by repetitive lessons, revolving patterns, and karmic loops. Every round offers deeper wisdom, knowledge, and understanding when we choose to receive it. Choosing to sleep through the cycle will most definitely cause it to repeat itself, until we wake up and face it. Awareness, acceptance, detachment, and surrender become v

The following article is from the Good News Network  In an experiment that exceeded scientists’ expectations, mice had their type-1 diabetes cured through a double-transplant method.  Additionally, there was no host rejection of one one of the two types of transplanted cells, and the immune system didn’t attack the other, resulting in a diabetes cure without any side-effects. Obviously caveats must be drawn from a mouse model such as this, but the results have supercharged

No matter what is going on in the world around us, how we feel inside defines our realities. As within, so is without. This is easy to understand when things are working out in our favor, but when life feels out of control, we have to confront the thoughts and feelings inside of us in order to restore the peace. There are things we have control over in our lives, and there are some things that are completely out of our control. When we focus more on what we can control and mu

The following article is from the Good News Network  Getting out of an abusive relationship is vital, yet packing up and moving out is more than daunting. But, thanks to Meathead Movers, it’s much easier—and doesn’t cost a dime—to leave a spouse or partner behind and start a new future. For 25 years, California’s largest independently-owned moving company has been helping end domestic violence in their state by offering their moving services for free to those who need it. 

Life is a paradox. For every positive, there is an equal negative to balance it out. When one thing is true, we can see that the opposite can also find validation. There are coincidences occurring at every moment, yet all things happen for a reason and not by chance. Each of us has a free will that brings upon us the effects of the energies we put out to the world. At the same time, we live within a system that keeps us revolving around rent, bills, work deadlines, traffic, a

The following article is from the Good News Network  It was only a few months ago that Juan Leon became the proud owner of Minnesota’s newest tow truck service.  Not long after, he began to get calls about abandoned vehicles and realized there was a pattern. Whether it was parked on the side of the street or in the lot of a business, their owners were just gone. In most if not all such cases, he would learn, they had been arrested by ICE during its Operation Metro Storm. Wh

The Year of the Fire Horse has arrived and the symbolism that this animal sign represents is our life force in motion . The Fire Horse reminds us to follow our passions, embrace the freedoms we have to become who we were meant to be, and to be courageous when it comes to pursuing our destinies. It is a time to reclaim our wild, authentic nature and live our truth freely, honestly, and powerfully. So, the question is posed to each of us to answer, how are we using our life for

The seventh week of the year brings a New Moon in Aquarius, the planetary influence of Neptune, and the archetypical influence of "The Chariot". It is a very intuitive, spiritual, and revealing time of truth, faith, and strength of will. The New Moon in Aquarius helps us plant seeds aligned to our higher good.

The following article is from the Good News Network  Numbers of rare butterfly eggs have skyrocketed in South Wales after landowners let their hedgerows grow wild.  Volunteers for the UK nonprofit Butterfly Conservation have counted record tallies of Brown Hairstreak eggs this winter around the Welsh county of Carmarthenshire. The success, they say, is down to two partner organizations that agreed to reduce the amount they cut back on their hedgerows, which has allowed the

In a divided world, some people who feed the division on the planet make choices to accept blindly and faithfully in the beliefs of one of the "sides". They have aligned to a group of people that think the same and believe in the same ideals. This community acts like a family and provides a sense of togetherness and belonging. They offer an identity to cling to spiritually, politically, and morally. It is a space of safety and security that offers refuge in a world that doesn

The following article is from the Good News Network  The largest wildlife rescue organization in India has started using acupuncture to help elephants recover from chronic pain, nerve damage, and mobility issues after their years of captivity or hard labor.  Their veterinary team sought training in alternative medicine so the techniques could be used alongside conventional veterinary medicine and found they boosted recovery rates when the usual treatments proved inadequate.

We know our words have power and act like spells that return to us what we vibrate. Even though we understand this with the mind, we can still find ourselves uttering words that go against what we want to manifest. Those very words that "accidentally" come out of us, also act very ineffectively when we are trying to have conversations with people who disagree with us. Sometimes passionate feelings push out stronger language and a harsher reaction. This is no excuse, but it is

The following article is from the Good News Network  A plant-lover who snapped a photo of an interesting shrub he found on a trip to the Outback inadvertently proved that it wasn’t, in fact, extinct, something which scientists had presumed.  With 60 years having passed without a confirmed sighting of the plant, it was chalked up as a casualty. It’s becoming more and more clear within university ecology departments that the citizen science platform iNaturalist can act as a

Evolution is as natural as going through puberty. We experience life, we learn the lesson of the moment, and we apply what we have learned to the next situation. Without living in the past, we take what happened yesterday and build our lives from there. Writing the book of life, we move through pages, chapters, and short novels of living experiences. Flowing through our life lessons, we evolve when we keep moving forward and don't allow ourselves to get stuck in either our fa
