Lila Johnson 4/30/2022 12:31 AMGEOCACHING! I've been "exploring my area" as an action because I've recently moved and this has been an awesome part of the EcoChallenge for me, but I just remembered Geocaching.com! One of the acronyms on the site is YAPIDKA, which means, "Yet Another Park I Didn't Know About" - it's such an amazing way to explore - people hide caches in areas they think other nature lovers will appreciate - it's a leave-it-better-than-you-found-it org., you can do it with kids (several ways to make a game of it, including trackables)... Oh, if you've never tried it I couldn't recommend it more highly - a stellar way to learn about little pockets of beauty in your own back yard! https://www.geocaching.com/play -

Lila Johnson 4/15/2022 12:42 PMI have a 19 year old daughter, and I'm so delighted she cares about the environment. She's learned to thrift, but for special occasions, I can be sure that she'll love (and I can feel good about) anything from https://www.thereformation.com -
Lila Johnson 4/13/2022 11:21 AMIn nature
I am free
Free as the birds
Free as the wind
yet still
I am held by the trees
Seen
Witnessed
Cared for
not just by the breath they provide
but that, too
their gentle presence is palpable
never judging
always available
and while I walk or skip or dance
gravity allows me this freedom
all the while holding me close
letting me know I am cared for
and as I relax into that care
I return Mother Earth's embrace
an even greater freedom arises
freedom that naturally opens my heart
into my own care and availability
to all of life
encountering, appreciating and holding dear
this breath
this tree
this squirrel
the whole mystery
