Sorry that the planet is dead and we didn’t do anything to save it. We didn’t care enough about the future and we were selfish. No one did anything to stop it. For the people who tried, sorry that no one listened. Earth used to be so beautiful, vibrant, and lush. Now, I have no clue what it’s going to look like but I know it’s not the same.
Dear Future Me,
I hope that when we look back on these years, you’ll see that humanity can be good. That we joined together and fixed it because of we don’t, who will?
Dear Great Grandchildren,

To the Three most Beautiful Souls I could ever Know,
I promise to keep your Love at the forefront of my every move. I will make personal changes and I will learn more, so that I can contribute to a healthier environment in a meaningful way.
To my dear son,
Last year most of the world’s reefs turned white at some point, but because it was underwater you and your friends didn’t see.
Dear Corey,
I promise to do all within my power to create a world that’s safe for you and your generation.
Dear Lincoln,
I wanted to let you know that in 2019 that there were real struggles with the health of our planet.
My darling girls,
I can be brave enough to wake up.
Dear Maya,
Maya, my love, I promise to be courageous. I promise that when I face a decision, I will think of how it will impact you and your future. I promise that I’ll also step outside my individual decisions and add my weight to the forces that shift culture and systems.
To My Future Child(ren),
The fact that you are reading this means that you would know the answer to a question that has kept me up at night more often than I would like to admit: Did I make you proud?
Dear Nolan, Patrick, Cullen and Gabriel,
This Mother’s Day I am again thinking of my grandsons future and what I am doing to change the world if only by a small fraction.
