“As we celebrate #EarthDay we must also acknowledge individual role we play in building a sustainable future for all, forever.” – Catherine Constantinides

It’s 12 : 07 PM on day 2047 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Proverbs 13, have breakfast, learn one new thing –  moss grows predominantly on the north side of trees depends on where you live. “There is a tendency for moss to grow on the northern side of a tree—in the northern hemisphere,” he says. “In the southern hemisphere mosses would have a tendency to grow on the south, shady, side of trees.”–  and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $5 506 only $744  more to raise by 10 Jan 2017  (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far   ).

Today is Earth Day – a day that aims to raise environmental consciousness throughout the world – being environmentally conscious is not about saving the planet it’s about saving ourselves because at the end of the day there can be no people without planet (thank you Ella for making me realize this I really get it) so if we were smart we would tread lightly on the Earth. Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Respect. Happy Earth Day everyone.
