If we could all slow down, look around and connect: with each other, the Earth, the sky, the plants and rocks and animals, then maybe we can all remember to treat everyone and everything with respect and live in love.

Dear Generations to Be,

The world often feels like a scary place, especially when humans become disconnected from the pulse of life.

If we could all slow down, look around and connect: with each other, the Earth, the sky, the plants and rocks and animals, then maybe we can all remember to treat everyone and everything with respect and live in love. Maybe we could all leave smaller footprints and do better for each other mindfully.

Distill it all down to the essentials that matter most in life. Then savor and treasure and protect those beautiful pieces. Smile with the joy and keep going when things feel hard or sad.

I won’t give up. I will try my best every day to live up to my values, to protect the beautiful pieces and to empower others to discover their own and take positive action as well.

Love and Gratitude,

Jen
