Lets do the good work of being a light and a megaphone....
Lately I find myself having conversations with people I know well and respect and our topics seem to come to a place of this: People need to be seen and heard. People need to be affirmed and validated....they need the space they occupy in the world to......matter. It doesn't matter if it is a young dancer at a dance camp, or a toddler in a living room, a hurting grandmother at work, a struggling parent.......across the board I see and hear this with the humans I encounter. I care about respecting the earth we live in. I care about recycling and planting trees and enjoying sunsets. I care about animals.....pets in shelters matter. The baby painted turtle living in my porch matters......by the way, apparently I can't just set it free in a lake at the end of the summer. Apparently turtles have lots of icky diseases that can cause problems....and I don't really want it to grow to full maturity in my porch. Send ideas.....please....
