Turtles Hatching
Emily,
Thanks for the great work you are doing. Even if you don't get a chance to see the turtles hatching, know that Hurricane Hanna will deliver the young turtles safely to the ocean. I have asked for this. This is a simple prayer to Grandmother Turtle and Hurricane Hanna and Mother Nature to keep the innocent turtles safe, even if Hurricane Hanna comes in force in order to awaken humanity to how precious life is and not to take anything for granted. In complete gratitude, a prayer will be heard. Try it yourself as you visualize the young turtles being swept into the sea safely. Think it, draw it, paint it, write it, do it, pray it...and it will happen through any of these means. Whatever comes to your heart works best. It is the energy of unconditional love that we manifest through these simple prayers in gratitude, plus our daily actions, that will change the world, just as you are doing. Keep it up! Natalie
