I thank my Mom for teaching us to go out and be with nature. To be curious. And for letting us capture crickets and make thread leashes and take them for walks and keep them overnight to listen to their song right in our room all night and then let them go with a thank you. And so many more wonderfulnesses!
And thank you for challenging me to think about what I am thankful for!
Oh Claudette, You're mom sounds wonderful and amazing! Did you really have crickets on your room with thread leashes. Oh I love this. Thank you for sharing your stories with us Claudette. I love hearing them.
What will be our legacy regarding action on Climate Change? Bill Mckibben has launched “Third Act” an action focused organization to combat “business as usual” by the fossil fuel industry. If you are ready to “release the brakes” please check it out. Moral Compass plus Action is just a click away..
I wrote you all a poem.

Hear the voice within
Your last line..."hear the voice within" Yes sometimes she is so quiet and I need to make the time to sit and listen— she is so wise. Thank you Gail.
I sometimes think of that voice as “little girl me” who I created in response to a “mind monster” exercise offered by a friend.
😁
"little girl me" She's fabulous! :)
