I'm passionate about caring for this planet. I'd like to bring awareness to ways that individuals can reduce their carbon footprints without waiting for governments to change things on a policy level.

I recently went for a walk in a state park and found that some of my favorite trees had collapsed. It makes me feel vulnerable, personally and for my children.

You are beautiful and you matter.

It's a constant process for me to learn to take the time to really understand what hurt me and how best to address it or respond. I tend to be reactionary, and that doesn't help me or others. I do try to keep my heart open.

I like the idea that neither makes any romantic move until their philosophies are aligned.

I'm most often surrounded by people, so what I usually crave is time alone.

The stars don't have to be perfectly aligned for me to do a good job.
