I love your encouragement!!! So many wonderful things to respond to here:

1) Stunning photo of Glacier National Park, I’m in awe of that view. Truly breathtaking.

2) I totally agree that it’s okay to be imperfect along this sustainable path. Choosing to care about the planet and all its ecosystems is beautiful and challenging.

3) it’s so fun to see your brand illustrations sprinkled in between the paragraphs!

4) congratulations on being selected for the Risograph Calendar! I love your uplifting design!

Glad you shared your thoughts on all this!

Thanks for the important work you are doing and presenting it in a non-shaming way. Many of us lefties, vegan, climate activist types could learn from you. The world does not need more self-righteousness! ❤️

Oh wow, thank you so much for saying that 💙💙 And you’ve got that right! We are all just out there doing our best to build a life that aligns with our heart and soul. I think a little more kindness and understanding could go a long way.

The solution is likely not on one side or the other but somewhere in the middle and we have to work together to get there.
