We REALLY are All Connected; Celebrating Earth Day

Earth Day
You don't have to be a super recycler, vegan earth shoe wearer if you don't want to be. You don't have to plant trees if you don't want to. You don't even have to bike/ walk to work if you can't but the very act of increasing your state of awareness of how our individual actions impact others and our planet means that you are one step closer to that universal sense of connection that we all need to survive together. Let's survive together, shall we?

Boston Marathon Therappy

By acknowledging the reality of the situation, providing reassurance, preparing them for emergencies, and embracing community and spirituality, we can guide our children through these challenging times. Remember, it is not just about the conversation you have today but also about the ongoing support and understanding you provide as they navigate their feelings and responses to the events of the world around them.

Also, please remember, that is someone's child you are screaming on.
