Jeanne Poirier 4/29/2022 8:55 PMShamelessly I will miss the trophy sparkles when I check in - only one more day to go.
It has been weather-wise where I live a crazy month and this Eco-Challenge has been a good touch stone.
Can't wait for a bit of warm temps and long overdue flowers - while cognizant our world is burning and need to appreciate cold. So much to learn for our future! This has been great tool. THANK y'all who made it possible for me to be here and to my team-mates putting up with my seemingly endless chatter!

Jeanne Poirier 4/28/2022 7:18 PMMy "SDG's" are going really well! Have enjoyed this Eco-Challenge immensely and learned so much - even on the eve of being 68 years on earth school. I remember hearing: "Are you still breathing? Then you still have something to learn." "Less is better". Be careful with this one: "I'm willing to do whatever it takes to have my dream." :).
What a pleasure to be with y'all this month.
I have never experienced such a cold spring without beautiful balsam root daisies all over - I miss them and hope with a week or so of warmer weather they'll recover. The photo is from years back - and there is no yellow as of yet.
Will touch base two more times this session and thank y'all for participating with me. The impact - knowledge is really big!!

Jeanne Poirier 4/27/2022 8:29 PMWanted to join this year engaging in Eco-Challenge after a year or so hiatus. There is much demanding our attention and energies! Felt important and found this year's to be greatly improved with actions/knowlege to engage in. I'm delighted to review the vast numbers of people involved and impacts done collectively. I challenged myself and am grateful for the learning! Did not want to do easy-smeeshy point collections - but really picked ones to stretch my knowledge and impacts. Definitely have accomplished this and more. Look forward to another two days of hearing from y'all!!

Jeanne Poirier 4/27/2022 8:03 PMBefore I go seeing what others have done - want to type out something which has been invaluable to me:
The Prayer of Protection
The light of God* surrounds me**
The love of God* enfolds me**
The power of God* protects me**
The presence of God* watches over me**
Wherever I** am, God* is and all is well.
Thank you God*, thank you God*, thank you God*.
*clearly if you need another name for this by all means use it!
** can be for "me" - "you" - "us" - personalize it.
Learned this years ago from Living Enrichment Center and is imbedded and well used in my life!!
Blessed be!-
Sue Kane 4/27/2022 9:36 PMI love it! I have been "enfolded" by God; what an amazing feeling. thank you for sharing this.

Jeanne Poirier 4/27/2022 7:58 PMHonestly I"m going to miss those trophy's sparkling telling me I did it!!
I've learned so much from this month's choices and work. Not sure if learning about my own local area, my habits, the feed from my team or from everyone else has had bigger impact. Thank you - thank you!
