The magic of Mother Earth's gifts.  @steemflow takes us up close and personal with Burflower, not just the incredible symmetry and magic of the flower, but also the hidden medicinal qualities.

The nitty-gritty of why we need to save - and propagate - our own vegetable seeds. @wildhomesteading reminds us of the incredible need for seed sovereignty over commercial manipulated seed, and how we can ***all*** help preserve the diversity and potency of our global food supply.

You want to be ***encouraged*** and uplifted about manifestation and getting all the things you need in unexpected & miraculous ways?  @riverflows shares the delightful connection between her next level coffee maker, new leather boots, being an awesome mom and the challenges of teaching independence.  Inspired. #treasurefind

Environmental activism has a heavy price in many parts of the world.  @keysa keeps it real and highlights the horrendous human cost of environmental activism around the world.  There ***are*** things we can do - check out the post to learn more.  Mostly, we can make sure that we engage in every way we can, so that their bigger sacrifices are not wasted.  Sobering but a must read.

Making art, music, love, gardens, great food....  to ***create*** in a world of criticism, destruction and thoughtless consumerism is a truly radical act.  @trucklife-family reminds us of what is really important.  Creating something and sharing it on steem?  Use the #creativecoin tag to be rewarded for your contribution to a better and more beautiful world.

The beginning of ***all*** environmental change starts with awareness, as @haffizullah reminds us.  If we are truly mindful of the way we eat, consume, dispose, travel, house and clothe ourselves, then change can't but help erupt in the most positive way.  It starts with awareness.  Then knowledge.  Then choice.

Looking for a coconut yoghurt recipe?  @birdsinparadise continue their mission of making everyone on the steem blockchain HUNGRY.  LOL.  Actually, that's a subset of making sure everyone on the steem blockchain is well nourished!  And we need more of that.

Flowers and gardens and making the world a more beautiful place doesn't always happen quite where you expect it.  @stortebeker shows us the magic of painted garage doors in Mexico, and how we can create beauty in the simplest of places, to add colour and vibe to what might otherwise be a rusted eyesore.
