Thank you — Thank you — without you, I would not hear butterflies singing, without you, I would not understand black bear humor, or the creativity of jays planning their breakfast, without you, I would not feel flora whispers of long-lived wisdom on the back of my neck while sitting in Padmasana.

I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.

I am writing this message to you guys. When I look outside my window today, I see a beautiful world that others and myself call “home sweet home.” The trees glimmering in warm sunlight, the air stirring a cool breeze, and the water flowing down rivers are parts of our home Mother Earth.

Who knows what the future would look like? or what will happened in the future? No one knows right? That’s why it it’s scary because we don’t know what lies ahead. We couldn’t stop the future but we can always change it.

This is my most important work.

More importantly, what are we doing to better our planet and everyone who lives in it?

I promise that I shall continue to do all that is within my capabilities to leave you a world where there is fairness and justice.

It’s my hope that the following will be helpful as you navigate your futures.  These are the confessions of a climate activist:

I promise to do everything I can as a daughter to our great Mother Earth to protect her wildlife and trees.

I am working every second of my life, with every ounce of my being, to ensure that I am leaving you and your brother a planet that is safe and secure.

I tried to teach you of the importance of being satisfied with what you had within your hands.
