***Heirs of the Magi News Flash!*** The annual fall festival is now behind us, and Cassie and Michael are heading out on their fall trip - this time to the South Pacific! They'll miss out on the Halloween fun at home and the rest of the high school football season, but all of that time in tropical paradises will likely be worth those little sacrifices! Some favorite grandparents will be away for adventures in Arizona or elsewhere too, but our favorite Magi staying at home are sure to have a lot of fun anyway. We'll have all of the adventure highlights from home and away right here for you each day; so... ...Visit Witch Falls often to keep up with all of our latest stories; and Happy Reading! P.S.

Ethan's and Ehlana's Journals - April 22, 2019


Ethan:

Happy Earth Day!

Our school day revolved around the Earth Day themes; we had outdoor play time, work, and lessons; and then Ehlana and I were back at the lab and archives for a few hours before going home to a late dinner and evening of work and studying.  Time phasing was involved with the last part of that, so it feels later than it is; and now I’m ready to crash and nap – so I will.

Ethan – out!

Ehlana:

We should write more about Earth Day, but while we did celebrate it today; I have to point out that we do more about caring for our local environment every day than most kids even think about – especially in cities where daily interaction with nature just isn’t the same as on farms or in small towns.  Our crop research at the lab is all about more-resilient plants that are also environmentally-sustainable, but I’m referring to how we are every day when it comes to everything from garbage and recycling to treating our water supplies responsibly.

On a larger scale, our family business takes all of our ethical responsibilities seriously.  That doesn’t always mean we get to have everything we want – there are a lot of problems in the world; and we have to deal with them as best we can.  That isn’t an excuse – just a fact that we can’t control every situation; and sometimes have to settle for doing the best we can in bad situations while helping as much as we can.  Those big problems are why so many people just get overwhelmed and doubt that they can make a difference, but we don’t believe that’s true – or striving for Ascension of the Light would be pointless.

Here’s my advice for the occasion that nobody will read anytime soon anyway – Do all that you can to help regardless of how small that contribution.  Good deeds can be contagious; and then anything is possible!  That doesn’t happen overnight, but if you look at it the right way; the adventures along the way to a better destination can be amazing – but you can’t get to anyplace better if you don’t actually start from somewhere! ;^)

Okay, that’s enough for tonight; and I’m ready to get some sleep now too.

This is Ehlana Proctor; coming to you live from what is now my past!
