You touch on something so important here. Humans love boxes and labels. We like to think we're either one thing or another. Pushing past that, opening things up, reminding us that we can still secretly prefer plastic straws (that really made me chuckle) but still love the Earth passionately and do our part. Yes to all of this!!!!! We are not here to "save the world," we're here to do our little part in connection with everybody else doing their little part. That is both activism and being alive. Thank you for nourishing this in us all.
I've just finished reading The Art of Frugal Hedonism, by Annie Raser-Rowland with Adam Grubb, and while it is not a book explicitly about being an activist for anything other than your right to be who you are, much of it echoes what you write here. It's a fun and thought-provoking read--
Oh, thank you so much for this recommendation, I will definitely check it out!! I am so enthralled by the title, one of my goals this year is to have a month with no purchases besides food and it has been WAY harder than I thought (there seems to be always some event or activity that requires something I don't have!) but I am actually enjoying the challenge way more than I thought I would too. I am so intrigued by this title :)
Thank you so much for being here Marisol <3 This is such a potent reflection, I always appreciate so much when you are able to distill and reflect the message in such a succinct and powerful format. simply delicious. .

haha thank you my friend!! I have a special sensory hatred for a soggy paper straw so that line was personal 😆
Hahaha!!!!

Caring. Bold or not.
Doing what is in our hands.
For Earth, us. For love!
