It's Thanksgiving Week and there is so much to be grateful for! This year, we'll be having dessert together with loved ones over Zoom. This is the first year I'll be participating in the busiest shopping season of the year as a small business owner...but all of the frenzy surrounding it doesn't feel good...I'm trying to be gentle with myself. I know I'll be out in the local conservation areas for extended walks this Friday -- aka, Green Friday! We have got to change our collective mindset around consumerism and materialism. How do we do that?
People are talking about our multiple crises: The Pandemic. Racial Injustices. Climate Crisis. Epic Unemployment. Affordable Housing. Food Insecurity. Wealth Insecurity. A Democracy in Tatters. And, they're saying that we need to wake up and new systems need to come of this. How do we do that?
