I try to keep this space positive, but I am telling only part of my story here. I try to stay on the side of hope...the side that believes our actions can make a difference. I try to believe that all of us here on this tiny planet can thrive together. I try to believe that my girls will have all the opportunities that I have + more. I try to focus on my own actions. I try to believe the best of people + that their logic skills are functional. I try to believe that people who spend time every week listening to the teachings of Jesus understand + believe what He said. 

But people we know carry guns to church + post fake news online + scoff at the idea of climate change. People we know defend the greedy business practices of corporations + argue that embracing renewable energy is not profitable or wise. People we know defend immigrant family separation as a deterrent + say disgusting things about gay couples that dare to look for a loving community within our church doors. People we know support this disgusting, reprehensible, lying, hateful highest elected official to which we are currently subject. People we know can't be bothered to care about who made their clothes or how much trash they send to the landfill. People we know tell us that their actions don't make a difference. People we know post pictures of their National Park vacations + then vote for politicians who deregulate protections for our streams + lakes + wild lands. So, yeah. I'm angry. A lot.

Please listen to 16 year old Greta Thunberg's speech given to the UN today. Anger is 100% appropriate.

Mayne a little inspiration will help you channel your anger. Winona LaDuke is an inspiring indigenous woman working to create a hemp fiber mill on her reservation. Her nonprofit, Honor the Earth, has also worked for clean water by stopping several gas and oil pipelines. She teaches that there is a greener, brighter future if we are brave enough to choose it
