FEATURED POST

The earth is warming. Our pollinators are in decline. Water pollution, the extinction of species at an alarming rate, and an unending list of environmental disasters threaten us all. Often I feel helpless when I think about the future of planet earth. What am I leaving behind for my children and grandchildren?

Screen time addiction has become a severe problem for adults and children alike. The celebrities we see on t.v. and in the news often have more influence on our children than we do. They are in fact called "influencers" on social media. We don't spend enough quality time outdoors, reading, or just sitting with our thoughts.

There are so many small things that we can do as individuals that will add up to big things as a community. With this blog, I hope to explore some of the ways to counteract the pressures on our families and our planet. I will be writing about some of the things that I have done in my own life, and others that I have learned that are going on in the wider world. I hope to start a conversation with and between my readers, where we can encourage each other to keep making the changes that will have a positive impact.
