When the world is moving too fast, I often do what is easy instead of what’s right. I choose to see the small picture rather than the large. I desensitize and let it be other peoples’ problems whether it be climate change or school shootings. Nevertheless, I know that these are my problems too. Deep down, I know I must do my part in resolution. There are days I wish I had never taken on this project. The pressure of creating a drawing each week along with a post and stories from the garden are a lot on top of working full-time and managing a household and a garden. But, I am often reminded that if I numb out and don’t do my part to create change, I am the problem. So, ask yourself, what is your cause? What hard thing will you do that will contribute to the greater good? Now is a time we are all being called to do something. What if we all did it?

In pursuit of regenerative living practices and the dirt bag lifestyle. “What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” ~ Mary Oliver.
