I promise to do my part, supporting federal legislation to protect our earth while starting small with projects at home.

You should’ve reduced your carbon footprint, should be using some source of renewable energy and be a vegetarian by now.

Por você idealizei um mundo melhor e lutei incessantemente por ele.

I promise that I shall continue to do all that is within my capabilities to leave you a world where there is fairness and justice.

My hopes have always been to live in a brighter and better generation, where women are respected around the world, human rights are respected and last but not least where animals and mother nature is cared for by us individuals.

When you look at me with those big beautiful eyes and that innocent smile, you make me want to fight harder. And I do.

My mistake was thinking I needed to give you more to be a good Mom. Recently your aunt asked me what my favorite toy was growing up. I gulped, I didn’t have one- it was the outdoors, sliding down a ravine of leaves with my Dad, skiing and camping. Today is October 12th, 2021 and I am still going to be giving you a lot, it’s going to look a little different – love, experiences, education and a healthy planet.

And, if this summer has taught me anything, I am content (because I have to be) living in this limbo, this seemingly endless waiting for the opportunity to change, when really the opportunity exists within our very selves all along.
