THE GREATEST ENERGY OF ALL - AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT

A letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter, Lieserl on The Universal Force of Love

“When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.

I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.

There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.

When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force. Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals. For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.

To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.

After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…

If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.

Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.

However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.

When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.

I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it’s too late to apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer! “.

Your father,

Albert Einstein

4 VALUABLE TIPS FOR WELCOMING YOUR BUNNY WHILE STARTING A BUSINESS

We would like to thank guest blogger, Mark Simmons, for these tips on how to get organized when you have a new bunny and a new business. The truth is, if you’ve never had a bunny (or a pet for that matter), it takes some time to learn about your pet’s needs and develop a flow that works best for pet and owner alike. These are some great ideas and we really appreciate the links to things necessary for your bunny’s comfort and care.

4 Valuable Tips for Welcoming Your Bunny While Starting a Business

If you recently welcomed a bunny into your home, it probably did not take you long to realize that they are sweet perceptive animals. While it may be tempting to snuggle your furry friend all day, when starting a company you must devote time to your developing business as well. Applying these four tips helps you find the balance between growing your company and loving on your fuzzy bunny. 

1. Put a Cage by Your Desk

Your rabbit may be curious and cautious as he or she gets to know you and the surroundings. While it is a fantastic idea to let them roam and explore the new home, ensure he or she is safe while you work.

Set up a cage by your workspace. Find or design a style that has open space, safe flooring, and shelter. This way your bunny can come out to say "hi" but also be alone if needed. According to one report, rabbits are the third most-favored pet in America, so there are numerous cages and accessories to choose from.

Make sure he or she has access to water. Put a few toys in the cage for your fuzzy friend to play with while you work.

2. Go Outside

Whether your love of bunnies originated from seeing one as a child, playing with one at a friend's house, or reading a Valentino The Love Bunny, you want your fluffy companion to be active and healthy. A great way to do this is by taking him or her outside. Plus, getting some fresh air and a brief walk is a wonderful way to give your brain a break so you return to work recharged.

Put a leash on your rabbit to make sure he or she does not hop away; these animals are very quick and difficult to catch.

3. Invest in Chewing Material

Chewing material not only keeps your rabbit busy during conference calls and meetings but also keeps his or her teeth strong and healthy. A bunny's teeth constantly grow. Without something to chew, their teeth can overgrow, causing dental and health concerns.

Hay should be given to your pet on a regular basis. Additional options include pinecones, chew toys, toilet paper roll tubes, willow balls, and wood. However, do not use wood from trees where fruits with pits grow, such as cherries or peaches. These woods give off a chemical called phenols that is dangerous for bunnies.

4. Strategically Schedule Meetings

While there are always unpredictable meetings when opening a business, do your best to create a schedule and stick to it. Using either a paper or online calendar, write down appointments and exactly how long they will last.

Do the same with time at your computer. Pencil in sorting through emails, making outbound calls, and completing research. For example, you might be considering setting your business up as a limited liability company. LLCs have many benefits, including flexibility, limited liability, tax advantages, and less paperwork. Each state has different regulations around forming an LLC, so research your state's rules before moving forward. Schedule time for research, and once you decide to move forward save time by delegating the task to a formation service.

While it might seem tricky at first, it is possible to find time to grow your business and make your new rabbit feel safe and loved. Taking proactive steps to fit these tips into your routines allows you to open a booming business and bond with your bunny. 

INTRODUCING OUR FIRST GUEST BLOGGER!

It has been exciting to think of welcoming like-minded people to our site to share their stories and thoughts about how animals transform lives in a beautiful way and how each of us, in some way, even the smallest, can make life better for one another. Most importantly, it is about LOVE centered actions. 

We are living in unchartered times, separation and division surround us, but when it comes to our beloved pets, we can all come together. In one recent post on a local nextdoor app, a neighbor lamented “everyone has too much to say on this forum. Simply just lemme see some cute animals so I can breathe a little…” 525 people posted photos! Now that’s powerful!

So, that being said, we would like to welcome Dr. Marcie Fondale and share her personal story of transformation with her precious animals. 

“My babies have been with me for less than a year! In that short amount of time, they have truly brought purpose to my life. My husband & I were never blessed to be parents to human babies, but we have always loved raising our German Shepherd dogs. While I have truly loved our dogs, I find it hard to describe the sheer joy that my little chicks & ducklings brought into my life. The love they gave to me was like NOTHING I have ever experienced before in my 50 years of life! Perhaps it was because they were so small; perhaps it was because they were so young. Whatever it was, I truly feel it was a gift from God. 

As it was for most of us, 2020 was a tough year. As I moved into March of 2021, I was still unable to work due to my own health issues; I was also still recovering from my 3rd major surgery in less than a year's time. So...I somehow found myself, along with my husband, in a local farm store, ready to buy some baby chicks (then I laid eyes on the tiny ducklings in bins beside the chicks, so they came home with us, too). In a matter of hours, I went from focusing only on my own health problems to being the primary caregiver for 3 recently hatched chicks & 3 equally young, little ducklings! To say I was completely & totally smitten does not begin to describe what I was feeling. I honestly think it was Divine Intervention! You see, I was sick of being sick; I was ready to give up &, to be quite honest, I was hoping to not wake up each morning. Then, suddenly, I had to wake up early to care for these little gifts from God! The fun adventures began from the moment we decided to bring them home to join our family. 

How has this been life changing? I am honestly overcome with emotion trying to best respond to this question. In short, these little creatures saved my life. They brought me back from the dead; well, at least my spirit was certainly dying. I am now so blessed to wake up to care for them in their barn each morning! Why is this odd? I have NEVER been a morning person & my illness made this even worse. Now, because of the need to be, literally, up with the chickens (& ducks), I am blessed to see the sunrise each day; I am blessed to be able to take in God's beautiful creation, its sounds, its colors, its sheer beauty. I am so grateful to be able to spend time each day with my feathered babies so that I can, hopefully, return even a portion of the love they have given to me. 

What's also great about this experience is that I have been able to use my stories about my babies to show others that LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, even when it can be hard at the same time. By sharing my health journey on Facebook (I have also started sharing some on Instagram), my "friends" have reached out to tell me things like how I am handling my illness "with grace," that I am "an inspiration," & that they look forward to reading about my adventures "down on the egg farm." So, by writing about my experiences & showing an amusing approach to life's challenges, I am also blessed to help others SMILE! I truly believe that as long as we can laugh at ourselves & smile through our tears, we can get through absolutely any challenge that we might face! When someone feels their smile fading, I am more than happy to reach out to help him/her restore it. With that in mind, I would be honored to be a guest blogger & I look forward to hearing from you again very soon, Valentino (& friends). I can't wait to share what its actually like to care for these little sweeties! “

Take care,

Dr. Marcie Fondale

BEES...AT THE HEART OF OUR SURVIVAL!

Do you know how important bees are? As far as species go, they are at the TOP of the list. They are critical POLLINATORS. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from one place to another. This is how plants reproduce. The bees, eating or collecting pollen for nutrition, make this transfer happen as they go from flower to flower. They pollinate 70 of the roughly 100 crop species that feed 90% of the world. Can you imagine life without fruits and vegetables? Let’s hope it never comes to that and let’s protect our bees if we get the chance!!

I was dangerously allergic to bees as a child, and even had an epi pen. However, it is possible to outgrow allergies and I was lucky to outgrow this one, because I love bees. Here are some sites to visit to get more information!

WORDS TO LIVE BY.....

As some of you may know, within each of the Valentino The Love Bunny stories, there is a glossary of words. Words that we use commonly, but are not always present in our daily actions. Words like LOVE, GRATITUDE, CHARITY, FORGIVENESS, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, and COMPASSION to name a few. Here is another word that covers a lot of ground, ALTRUISM. This video is a beautiful example of ALTRUISM, an act that is performed by one party for the benefit or well-being of another, even at the risk of harm to themselves. To see this between species is made even more powerful because it clearly demonstrates a common understanding of a danger or threat and an instant willingness to help!! Enjoy and Valentino The Love Bunny encourages us all to be of service wherever/whenever we can.

VALENTINO THE LOVE BUNNY BRINGING JOY!

LET US UNITE THIS JULY 4TH, 2021

Dear America,

I love you. I love you and I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the way you are being attacked. Not attacked by outsiders, but by insiders. Accused of being everything but the benevolent, generous, welcoming place that you are. There is such a lack of gratitude in the public square for everything that you have been, to we, your citizens, and to those seeking solace and safety from every other corner of the world. Instead, there are those that would tear you apart, piece by piece. I am saddened that you open your shores to people who are escaping every type of misery and oppression, that they have the opportunity to know freedom as nowhere else in the world, that they can rise to positions of power and given voice, only that they should use that voice to malign you, but I thank you for the freedom that allows it. America, I love you. You are the only country that gives so much for the greater good throughout the world. America, I will never disparage you. I will never denounce you, I will never disrespect you, because I know that no matter your short comings, you are good. I honor my forefathers and their struggles to be a free nation, the free nation where we can make dreams come true. I am proud to be accountable to your ideals and the hard work it takes to achieve them. America, it isn’t you that has failed us. You never could. It is man. It is human beings that fail one another. My heart breaks witnessing the many acts of spite toward you. America, on this 4th of July, I pray for you and your resilience to weather these storms. Your people are some of the kindest, most generous, most beautiful people on the planet and no-one will tell me otherwise. In closing, I say this…GOD BLESS AMERICA, LAND THAT I LOVE. 

Grateful for you,

Margarita

SOMETHING SURE TO BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE!

Valentino The Love Bunny and I love tradition and “old fashioned” things. So here is something that will make you smile for sure! When is the last time you had a good old fashioned Root Beer float? I hadn’t had one since I was a child. When I was at the market the other day, I went by a display with Root Beer and thought, yes! I picked up a 4 pack of IBC Root Beer (since 1919, highly recommended) and went looking for my favorite Haagen Dazs Vanilla ice cream. I went home and put an icy chill on that Root Beer, and when I put those two things together and took that first amazing sip, I had the biggest foamy lipped smile ever! I even giggled it was so good….GO FOR IT! YUMMY!
