MONDAY MOTIVATION MINUTE – Nature is not a place to visit…It’s home!
The Pulitzer Prize winner and environmental activist, Gary Snyder said it perfectly. “Nature is not a place to visit. It’s home.” Put that way, it becomes easy to understand the reasons to need to tend to Nature. I have often talked about the importance of getting out to Nature and embracing the healing power from being there. And I’ve definitely talked of the importance of protecting Nature. Now is always the best time to start and to continue to care. It’s up to us to care enough about our home to do what we can when we can for as long as we can to make difference.

MONDAY MOTIVATION MINUTE: The Precipice of Change…are you willing?
