Happy Birthday to my Beloved Daughter Holly:
Today it would have been your 39th birthday, but, you will forever remain 26 years old.
I know I promised you a video of your life for your birthday this year but due to technical glitches that may not happen in time. As you know its very difficult to share your life in photos.
Forever in my heart you will be….
xoxo
Mom

Today I woke up to hear of the horror of an Earthquake hitting Japan. The earthquake measures 8.9 with after shock that were in the 6.6 Richter scale. After that a Tsunami alarm was sent out to all the countries surrounding the area. The Earthquake from the official report from the US Geological Survey.
I wait for news from my friends that are in Japan and in the island of Maui. While listening to the news the country of Japan is on fire. The tsunami sirens are sounding on the many news reports coming out of Japan.
The Nuclear reactor in Fukushima is on a fail alert as the cooling tanks cannot be filled due to a shut-down of the system.
Meanwhile more news flash that the West Coast of the United States should brace for impact of a Tsunami wave which is fast approaching.
Hawaii is also bracing for the impact of the Tsunami wave that hits Kona, Hawaii .
While the whole world is in chaos. 3 volcanoes erupt just after the earthquake. Volcano in Russia erupts after Earthquake.
Solar Flares are also seen on March 9, 2011.
I am not sounding that the “End of the World” is coming but the end of the World as we know it IS coming.
Be that change and embrace the love the change in 2012.
Create Heaven on Earth.
All you have to do is look within.
We all have the power to look within.
Its simple. We can create Peace on Earth.
Have Courage during this change for you will need it.
Love or Fear?
“Because we don’t think about future generations, they will never forget us.” – Henrik Tikkanen
Today I was told of this quote and was informed that a young activist was leaving our Blogger’s group because she wanted to reach a much younger crowd. She made a decision to leave a group of “older generation” activist.
I am the basis of many years of activism. Our life experience is enriched with all of our accomplishments. The 1960′s the Protest of the Vietnam War and Women’s Lib Movement and so many more I’m not to get into.
I agree that if you target the youth of America a change will come. But that youth wants to hear you and not be playing games on a Wii or out running with gangs. So I leave you with some of my favorite quotes:
Our children may save us if they are taught to care properly for the planet; but if not, it may be back to the Ice Age or the caves from where we first emerged. Then we’ll have to view the universe above from a cold, dark place. No more jet skis, nuclear weapons, plastic crap, broken pay phones, drugs, cars, waffle irons, or television. Come to think of it, that might not be a bad idea. ~Jimmy Buffet, Mother Earth News, March-April 1990
I have two doctors, my left leg and my right. ~G.M. Trevelyan
I wish her the best in all her future endeavors. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
A life without cause is a life without effect. ~Barbarella
Today has been a hard day. Lots of news about Lolita’s toothache. Its been 20 years that Hugo her tank mate passed away now all eyes on Miami Seaquarium wondering about Lolita’s health. I had to do something to honor her. I have made 2 videos of her life in captivity.
In case you don’t know who “Lolita” or Tokitae is, Lolita is a Killer whale, its not a real “killer or a whale”. Its the largest of the Dolphin family ~Orcinus orca.
Lolita was captured in the Pacific Northwest on August 8, 1970. Lolita, her capture and those of her family was horrendous to say the least. The whale catchers used an airplane from which they dropped bombs in order to corral the whales. But here, they say that a picture is worth a thousand words. I have no words left to tell her story.
Free Lolita by Dolphinelle
“When we return wild animals to nature, we merely return them to what is already theirs. For man cannot give wild animals freedom they can only take it away.” ~ Jacques Cousteau~
As intelligent rational human beings we have a moral obligation to respect all life until then, Lolita will remain a slave to entertainment. Please do not buy a ticket to a marine theme animal park.

The sky at sunset was full of clouds
They manifested with the orange rays of the sun
I swear I saw an Angel flying within the clouds
Her arms where open wide to fly within the wind
I think I saw an angel smiling down at me
She told me not to cry for it was really she
I told her not to worry that I could really see
That she became an Angel to watch over me.

For six days due to fog the Fishermen of Taiji had taken a Holiday until yesterday Feb. 8th, 2011. On this day they slaughtered 20-25 bottlenose dolphins that they had herded into the cove and merciless slaughtered. There were juveniles and probably pregnant females The Cove ran red again.If they do not spare any dolphins soon the Oceans will have no dolphins swimming in them and the seas will be silent.
Today Death takes a Holiday, all the boats are in the Harbor and everyone is very happy, elated that no dolphins were slaughtered today.
Today I leave you with one of my own quotes:
“Activist never quit when they believe in the cause they are fighting for.
Do not feel discouraged, feel enraged.
Do not falter, feel the power of a thousand voices.
Do not waver, they will see weakness.
Do not deter, We will never stop or surrender.
…Iruka Wo Korosanaide Kudasai
For the Dolphins, For the Whales, For the World.
Save the Blood Dolphins~

La batalla continua en la pequeña ciudad de Taiji situada en el Japón.
Todos los dias desde Septiembre a Abril todos los años, los pescadores de delfines salen en sus barcos y lanchas en la busqueda de diferentes especies de delfines. Aquellos que son encontrados a varios kilometros afuera en el oceano y de la orillas de Japón son dirigidos por medios de sonidos a la ensenada/bahia llamada “The Cove”. En el año 2007 ~1,623 delfines perdieron la vida o fueron capturados. Esta caza anual de delfines es una fuente de ingresos para los pescadores y entrenadores de los delfines~ pero ha recibido una condena mundial, tanto para la crueldad de la matanza de delfines como por los altos niveles de mercurio de la carne de delfín. Esta carne es vendida en los mercados locales y tambien es servida en el almuerzo de los niños escolares.
Esta ensenada se hizo famosa cuando el gran documentario/pelicula recibio el gran premio 
de los “Oscar” en el año 2009. Este gran documentario fue dirijida por Louie Psihoyos y narración y parte fue la inspiración de Ric O’Barry.
Los delfines que los pescadores guian y dirigen por medios de tubos submergidos en el agua y cual ellos cojen martillos y empiezan a golpear los tubos. Estos tubos atolondran a los delfines y los confunden y asi los guian a la ensenada que siempre termina en muerte para aquellos que no son perfectos.
Los que son perfectos en cuerpo y belleza, son capturados y llevados a prision. La prision de captividad. Y ahi los enseñan a brincar, hacer piruetas en el aire y los vuelven en payasos para aquellos que pagan para verlos y tocarlos. Esta interacción es cruel y 
criminal. Estos pobres delfines son removidos de su ambiente, el oceano, el mar, su familia que tiene la misma jerarquia que nosotros los humanos con nuestra familias. Cuando el delfin ya esta entrenado (a base de pasar hambre) son vendidos a los parques a precios de USD $300,000.00
Los delfines son bien intelligentes, tanto que su cerebro es mas grande que el cerebro del humano. Los estudios nos dicen que tienes una tremenda capacidad, son conscientes de si mismo, muy sensibles. Y tienen su propio idioma aunque todavia no hemos encontrado la forma para communicarnos con ellos. Los delfines usan la ecolocalización y sonar.
La verdad detras de la sonrisa del delfin 
es que en verdad es la forma de Dios creo a los delfines. Uno va a verlos en los Acuarios y los ves con la sonrisa, escuchas la linda musica, ves a todos los humanos con sus familias en un bello dia pero en si, la crueldad es que estan fuera de su ambiente. Los delfines no pueden vivir en cauterio. El agua esta chlorinada, y eso no es bueno para su piel y tambien sufren de depresión. Depresión es la primera razón de la muerte de los delfines. La comida de los delfines, son pescados muertos llenos de vitaminas y drogas antidepresivas para combatir el aburrimiento que crea estar en piscinas de concreto. Sin el derecho de vivir, y nadar libre en el mar.
Por favor no visiten y apoyen este sistema de vida. No Visiten los parques y acuarios que tienen mamiferos en captividad.
