Your Soul Food for Friday June 11th 2021 The Week of World’s Oceans Day with Twenty Predictions for the Transformative 2020’s
Happy Soul Food Friday!
A Penny for My Thoughts?
“The End of Soul Food Friday?”
A few weeks ago, I shared with all of you that Soul Food Friday needs a new home and some support in various ways, one of which includes underwriting part of the expense of hosting the site and the monthly subscription fees to sustain this labor of love after more than 13 years of posting every week.
An anonymous donor and dear friend of mine has offered to match the first $100 as a way to support this ongoing effort.
Would you be willing to contribute any amount to keep Soul Food coming to your email box?
It is a pay what you choose/can afford model, and if yes, here’s how you can help:

Thank you for your consideration & stay soul-filled!
Love,

The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods
The ocean covers over 70% of the planet. It is our life source, supporting humanity’s sustenance and that of every other organism on earth. The ocean produces at least 50% of the planet’s oxygen, it is home to most of earth’s biodiversity, and is the main source of protein for more than a billion people around the world. Not to mention, the ocean is key to our economy with an estimated 40 million people being employed by ocean-based industries by 2030.
The ocean is now in need of our support.
With 90% of big fish populations depleted, and 50% of coral reefs destroyed, we are taking more from the ocean than can be replenished. To protect and preserve the ocean and all it sustains, we must create a new balance, rooted in true understanding of the ocean and how humanity relates to it. We must build a connection to the ocean that is inclusive, innovative, and informed by lessons from the past.
“The Ocean: Life and Livelihoods” is the theme for World Oceans Day 2021, as well as a declaration of intentions that launches a decade of challenges to get the Sustainable Development Goal 14, “Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources”, by 2030.

Sir David Attenborough Explains What He Thinks Needs to Happen to Save The Planet:
The legendary wildlife filmmaker shares why urgent action on climate change is crucial and why we need to save nature in order to save ourselves
Twenty Predictions for the Transformative 2020’s with Yanik Silver:
We are on the verge of a new age. Everything is accelerating faster and faster, and nearly every system is ready to be rebuilt to truly serve our world.
We stand at the threshold of a great potential. This decade will see more exponential growth, accelerated change and transformation than we have witnessed over the last 50—or maybe even 100—years (or more). And the good news is we get to consciously co-create our next stage.
The year 2020 is truly a landmark year. Just as 20/20 equals perfect vision, these enlightening predictions are a preview of what is on the horizon and what will happen in tandem with an increased awakening of consciousness.
This growing consciousness then becomes the true bedrock for all our decisions, actions, thoughts, and intentions, impacting everything spanning our communities, culture, commerce, and even a greater cosmic story, all unfolding here this decade. Buckle up….
