I found out about Lover Lover back in May thanks to Black Eiffel. I’ve yet to get tired of their song Freebirds (posted below). Lover Lover consists of London friends Eleanor Bodenham, Martin Craft (M. Craft), and producer Nick Littlemore.

Freebirds is one of those songs that I can’t get enough of. It feels too short and so I end up pressing the repeat button again and again. I always want to bust out in song, but unfortunately I’m usually on the bus when I get the urge to listen to this song and I’m not sure the others on the bus would be as enthusiastic as me. It’s a sad song that bursts with passion.

Just today when writing this post I discovered two more ear-pleasing songs of theirs on Myspace: All Through the Night and The Fire

The black and white video for Freebirds looks like a scene from a movie and is unlike any music video I’ve seen. To this day, I’m still trying to figure out why exactly this is what they chose to portray their first single, but I’m not complaining.

See Beautiful, a site dedicated to seeing beautiful in every way (you may remember that I’ve mentioned them before), not only featured Four Leaf Clover as their blog of the month, but chose me as their first See Beautiful Woman of the Month. I’m honored and so happy that others see what I’m trying to do here on FLC and in life.

I was also given the opportunity to write about the way I see beautiful and I did my best to write up a little summary to share. Please do click on over and see what I had to write and browse through all the beauty See Beautiful shares on a daily basis.

Thank you to all who continue to read Four Leaf Clover. You are a major reason for why/how I see beautiful. Happy weekend!

Well, do I have fabulous news for you! If you tried signing the “Stop the cruel killing of street dogs in Ukraine‏” petition not too long after I posted it, then you probably weren’t able to sign it and saw the message above‏ instead. This has been going on for years, my brother recently informed me of it and I blogged about it… and it’s over! If only this had been their solution from the beginning.

Thank you to those who signed and helped make this happen! I was so relieved and happy yesterday when my friend shared the good news with me after she tried signing the petition. Now for the rest of the take action posts that I’ve shared here on Four Leaf Clover to work their magic!

This is Durdle Door here in beautiful Dorset. I think I’ve chosen one of the best locations to study wildlife conservation here in England. Durdle Door is a natural rock formation along the Jurassic Coast which is a World Heritage Site. I had the great pleasure of seeing it and there are many more photos to come.

These words came from a fascinating book I’ve been reading titled Nature’s Web: Rethinking Our Place on Earth by Peter Marshall on the chapter concerning Hinduism. It’s a book about ecology (as I’m studying this, naturally I’m interested in the topic); how different cultures, views, religions, and people have shaped it and the green movement to what it is today; and how we will continue to change it. I’m only a few chapters in and I’m already looking for a copy to purchase and would definitely recommend it.

I strongly believe in these words and wonder why others don’t realize that everyone and everything in this world is connected. I’m reminded of my respect post from a while back. That plant in your neighbor’s yard, the dog you see wandering around, the person jogging, etc. We are all connected and “to harm other things or beings is to harm oneself”. Please be conscious of this and do your best to cause no harm whatsoever to anyone or anything. Have a harmless weekend, my friends!
