This is, hands down, one of your best pieces Karena. And no, not because I see my name in the middle (although it did draw a smile on my face).

There is something that sits underneath all this writing—your passion. I could feel it in each word. I feel like a better person after reading this. Bravo.

Thank you, Ishan.

My first reaction was "this old thing?" Blushing.

Love your writing, your passion for the health of Mother Earth, your ability to connect to our hearts with your positive messages. YES to "

"Individually, this thing may have us beat.

But I wholeheartedly believe in the ingenuity of the human race. I believe that with enough attention and maintaining a healthy focus on the issue of climate crisis, we will make more daily decisions that will collectively help the Human Race survive on Mother Earth, maybe even reverse the crisis."

Please hug all our Crow writers and Diane, the Tamoffs et al and travel safely back home. See you in June in Toronto!!

Joann, you inspire me with your positivity and energy. I am extending the thread, the roots on the seeds you have already sown. See you in June!

There's no doubt that this is one of your best. I agree with Ishan. Where can I get the parenting book, Karena?

Thank you, Sairam. It is amazing how the simple, fewer words posts hit harder.

My book is on Amazon (I'll add the link above) If you need the paper version, dm me.

Thank you Chris. It was really special to spend time with people I have known for two+ years. And discover their three-dimensional selves - the lives that are not in their books.
