Happy Arbor Day!

Thank you, Trees, for oxygen, food, beauty, wood, shade and so many other things!

Have you hugged a tree today? Better yet, have you planted one?

Weekly Photo Challenge: New Horizons

December 9, 2016 by scillagrace

A New Day dawning…

…in a new place. Since the first of November, I’ve been living on land owned by the Conservation Foundation where I work. However, at the end of the month, my boss tendered his resignation. What direction will the Foundation take going forward? I’m not quite sure. As the only employee there now, I have a lot of work to do. It will be an uphill slog along an obscured path, maybe more like this photo: So, “we’re not out of the woods yet”, but frankly, the woods is where I want to be. That is where new life is pushing up from under the decay. And that’s pretty exciting! So, my resolution: keep practicing conservation of resources and doing no harm, no matter what others around you may be practicing. Live with integrity and love with generosity.

Happy Horizons to all!
