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.

When we love the planet, we love ourselves, and when we love ourselves, we love the planet.

I haven't ridden a bike in a while because I'm so scared I'll get hit and die.

I'm not a fruity girl. I don't like licorice. I'm chocolate all the way.

I love you. Really, I do. Now love yourself more and each other a lot more. And please take care of this precious planet.

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.
