If a person doesn't have self respect, or self responsibility, they won't have this for anyone else and certainly not for the world. We have to consider what our inner reality is telling us and follow our intuition. Some people call this our soul. Making these connections will affect everything we say and do. It will also affect our choices of what we put into our bodies and what we expose ourselves to through various media and relationships. We have to know who who we are and why we are here first, including where we've come from and where we are going, before we understand how we can best contribute to our world. Bottom line, any real change must begin inside each one of us. Then, it's just a matter of being responsible with what we've come to be and know.

We all face the challenge - and we can all encourage each other not to succumb. Thank you back!

These are really exciting times and yes, it's very important for us to tell each other about it. You also just gave me the last little push I needed to get stuck in a little deeper with my own blog (hopefully that's a good thing!) So thank you and keep it up!

I love how you took it home, into you. I am saddened to see the words sustainable and sustainability becoming buzz words and lose meaning and importance in our collective psyche. Until we each take the time and ponder out loud, what does sustainability mean to ME? and how do I sustain myself? and how does that impact the world? all the hype and "efforting" will not work to change our environment around.
