I have been asked so many times why I live a green life, why water conservation, why getting wells in places, why work with water organizations, why conserve water at home with double-flush toilets, why I tell my daughters, "Turn off the tap" so much. Sometimes I want to say, "I wish I knew the answer." My answer really is: I don't understand why everyone doesn't feel this way.

The more I am able to deeply love and accept my flaws and imperfections, the more I am able to do that with my fellows.

We are all amazing and magical as we are. Just remember to remind me of that on rough days.

We must help each other to be present and compassionate. Remember that we have no idea what the person next to us is going through; compassion is the only choice.

The more I have deep love and compassion for my earth and my fellows, the more love and compassion I have for myself, and vice versa.

Water has always been something that I care deeply about, and I'm very aware of its limits on this planet. If we don't change our behavior around water, water will become as valuable as oil. That is a given. When people don't understand that, I'm surprised.
