I have tried. Founded and led the sustainability commission in what was then the newest city in the USA. Created or revived more than a dozen organic gardens. Taught women and children and those in need. Wrote stories intended to inform and inspire for global sites, national publications, and a bunch of books. Voted with my ballot, fork, pedals, and dollars. Showed up at City Hall and the State Capitol more times than I can count. Prayed.

I’m not sure how much any of it has helped, but I do know that I’m not yet done because I don’t intend to let the world go to hell in a handbasket on my watch. You are needed, too. It matters. You matter. If there is a way we can work together to make a positive difference, please let me know.
