Secrets of the Land

SECRETS OF THE LAND (Bonus Version) by Melissa E Johnson |

What would our four-legged and winged friends say to us if they could speak? Or consider the wisdom of a flower, rock, tree, or waterway. They all have secrets to share, inherent in their nature, and I bring them to you now in this unique collection of wildlife portraiture, storytelling and botanical beauty. With more than 130 wild images and musings of my natural curiosity, “Secrets of the Land” will delight and inspire nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts of all ages.

This is a large coffee-table-style-photography-book. It makes a great conversation piece and fabulous gift!

And a portion of all sales proceeds will be donated to various wildlife conservation and rescue organizations in the U.S. and abroad.

Get Inspired . . .

Any human life situation is like the momentary position of a kaleidoscope; and the group of souls within that situation are like the bits of brightly colored glass which form an interesting pattern of relationship. Then the kaleidoscope is shaken . . . and with this flick of the wrist there comes into being a new design, a new combination of elements. And so on, again and again, time after time, always different . . . always it is significant, and always there is a dynamic and purposeful intention.

A Passion that Moves Mountains. . .

Three Cups of Tea, is an amazing story of one man's humanitarian crusade to build schools in the impoverished, Taliban-infested, mountains along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

After a failed attempt to climb K2, the world's second highest peak located in the remote Karokoram mountains of Pakistan, mountaineer Greg Mortenson lost his way. But what he found was so much more: A passion that literally moves mountains.

Ignited by the kindness of strangers and fueled by the startling truth of poverty and a brand of deep-rooted, anti-American hate being taught by the Taliban to the uneducated children and families in the region, Greg's passion for helping others started a trend in education that sent ripples through the consciousness of the Pakistani-Afghan people . . . and people all over the world.

What started as a promise to build one school in a tiny, remote village, evolved into the Central Asia Institute, a non-profit organization formed to oversee this charitable work, building more than 55 schools to-date.

Aside from Greg's selfless dedication to the cause, and the generosity of donors, what struck me most was his courage and determination. Greg faced on-going rejections, set-backs and struggles—any one of which would send most of us running for cover—but he persevered . . . because he understood that he was working for the greater good. He knew that making education available to the Pakistani-Afghan children was the only way to peace.

This book inspired me—a work of non-fiction that reads, at times, like fiction--and it put into perspective my own efforts to succeed in the world.

Give yourself, your friends and loved ones the gift of perspective. To learn more, please visit http://www.threecupsoftea.com/. For every book purchased through the site, 7% of the proceeds will be dedicated to the Central Asia Institute to fund construction of more schools and continue this ground-breaking work.

Charity Spotlight: World Wildlife Fund

Did you know that in the last century three of the nine tiger species have become extinct, and that almost a quarter of the earth’s mammals face a high risk of extinction within the next 30 years?

These and other facts are made available to us through the research and outreach efforts of the World Wildlife Fund, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization serving environments and communities worldwide.Since 1961, WWF has worked diligently to save endangered species—polar bears, pandas, tigers, and other amazing animals—and to preserve the habitats they depend on for survival.

In addition to standard cash donations or estate gifting, what I love about WWF is their extraordinary species adoption program. For as little as $50, you can adopt an endangered animal—choosing from more than 90 species—and receive a soft, plush version of your adopted animal wrapped in a cloth gift bag, an adoption certificate, photograph and fun-fact card about the species and their habitat. Animal adoptions not only assist conservation efforts, but they also make wonderful gifts for children and adults alike.
