Well today’s walk was 8 miles in the Smoky Mountains!  The things I noticed was that we live on an amazingly beautiful planet. We need to keep it that way. It’s hard not to feel motivated to do so when you see the mist rising off the mountains at sunrise. 

The most difficult thing I am finding is lowering the amount of fruits and vegetables I consume that are out of season.  We have become a society of convenience and have a constant supply of fruits and vegetables at our disposal that aren't necessarily healthy to be eating year round.  I feel that being more conscious of shopping locally and at farmer's markets will help me to realize what it is exactly I should be eating seasonally to get the optimal nutritional value.

Oh, what I would do with $1,500.00...travel...I would most likely buy a round trip ticket to the British Isles with a stop in Iceland, as I would like to see Rekjavik before the warming climate has it's way.  

Nature is beautiful and universal.  Planting the right tree in the right place means generations will enjoy.

Due to climate  strategies for farming practices have to adapt. to climate change and extreme weather.  By growing  drought tolerance varieties, investing in irrigation systems (water pans) and working together farmers can have a productive harvest.

Most women have family as their top priority and its responsiblity defaults to them.  I contribute to Kiva.org  (an international nonprofit founded in 2005 in San Francisco) because  100% of every dollar goes to funding loans for businesses, many of them owned by women.
