I received this image the day after one of my cats died and the morning I found out two of my friends had lost their homes in the California wildfires this past October. I was feeling pretty sad obviously. I had to go to school to work that day (I am a sub), I had no students this one period, so I pulled out my sketchbook, and this image drew itself. The more and more I drew, the more I became enveloped in her, the better I felt. It was a sketch of the Mother Earth's Spirit, and I felt her wrapping her loving arms around all of us...supporting us...and a reconnection. We are so quick to create waste and hurt her, because we are not connected with her. If you meditate with this image, it may help you find that connection.

Change out an incandescent bulb for a fluorescent!

Go for a walk instead of driving

Turn down the air conditioning or the heater by a few degrees
