We all are leaving a legacy, daily. Whether we intend it or not. How would our daily actions be different, if we thought of this? In this blog I share my thoughts, invite you to reflect and, hopefully, inspire you to act in new ways.

eight million
Eight millions tons of trees. They are cut down in a year to provide the paper for the catalogues that are produced and mailed in the US. Half of the Planet's forests are gone, forests have been elimintated in 25 countries and 29 countries have them reduced to 10%.
Over one billion peole living in extreme poverty depend on the forests for their livelihood.
The production and disposal of catalogues consumes more energy than three milion cars.
I am a writer, a social activist, a poet, a pacifist, a questioner, a dreamer, a musician, an environmentalist, a rebel, an optimist, a challenger, a communicator, and a happy person. I use words and silence to inspire and to provoke thinking. I am one in a team of millions that is leading a shift in the world as we knew it. I don’t know the faces of the team, but I recognize them in their actions when I see them.
I am pulled by a vision of a time when people are intentionally and consciously working on a personal task, which is to make a difference. This is something that we will become familiar with since our early childhood, and we will carry out that task throughout our life. The contents will change at different stages of our life, but the mission will remain.
So, what mark are you making?
