Dear humans, we are all in this together. Planet Earth is our only home. Earth is our collective Mother that we must honor, cherish, and respect. I wrote this book at the start of the Global Pandemic, back in March of 2020. The world shut down. Schools shut down. Students everywhere were sent home. As a second grade teacher, I was sent home without a chance to say goodbye to my kids. We tried our best to put together some semblance of normalcy with continuous virtual learning with virtually no training or expertise. I did this all while staying home with my husband and three young daughters. We were grieving in all kinds of ways for the loss of human lives as well as the loss of what was. In the midst of all the pain and unknown and constant state of panic, I tapped into my love and connection to the healing powers of nature to bring balance and harmony to our family. I also recorded videos of our outdoor adventures and shared them with my students. We were living history and I didn't want anyone to miss out. I truly felt that getting outside and exploring was (and still is) far more beneficial than any work I assigned in the digital landscape.
During this time of isolation, my husband and I brought our girls to new rivers and rapids, waterfalls, and wonders in the woods. The lessons we collectively learned during our time together made us stronger and wiser. Perhaps one of the greatest lessons being the simple yet profound truth that Nature is our most cherished gift and wisest teacher. There are numerous changes and transformations that occurred during this extraordinarily difficult time that we must hold on to as we continue to evolve and live our individual yet intricately connected lives. Like really living, understanding, and appreciating the benefits of slowing down, lightening our loads, giving thanks for the little things, spending quality time with family, seeking help when we're not okay physically, mentally, or spiritually, being of service, and the healing power of human touch and spending time outdoors in Nature. What lessons has nature taught you?
