Yes, this. Kneeling for social injustice. Off to buy me some new Nikes.

Happy Summer Solstice! No more classes, no more worries (ha), just me with my toes in the sand and the sun on my face. Enjoy the summer peeps!
MERRY TREECEMBER!
Alright, how has December, Christmas, almost freaking 2018 crept up so silently?! Any of you all prepared? If so, please come over and help me. Please. I will pay you. I just baked cookies. Tempted?
Gonna send out a few Christmas ideas these next few days in case you are like me and um, completely unprepared for Christmas. So keep checking the blog and I hope to have something that tickles your fancy. I absolutely love LOVE this gift. Save the world, you know, is one of my favorite themes. And trees, I love trees. There is this oak tree over one thousand years old close to our home in Germany and I’m always in awe. Plus the 800 year old olive tree in Palma with a witches face.
Trees help clean the air we breathe, clean the water we drink, provide habitat to over 80%+ of the World’s biodiversity, provide jobs to over 1.6 billion people on this planet, provide health in so many ways (1/4 medicines we take come from trees & plants) and trees absorb carbon from our atmosphere.
One Tree Planted is a non-profit charity/reforestation project that plants trees around the world (North America, Asia, Africa, South America and wildfire areas). One dollar = one tree, you choose your area and minimum donation is $12. You can get involved by donating or fund raising or even becoming a tree ambassador. So you can do all that but how does that work with Christmas? For $20 you can have 20 trees planted in the recipient’s name and they also receive a digital tree certificate. And if you spend $50 they will send the certificate in the mail with a t-shirt.
Pretty cool, huh? For your favorite hipsters, tree huggers and all ages. They are so gorgeous. Just like you. Mwuah.
Mallorca the Beautiful
M A L L O R C A the beautiful.
Ocean or Forest or Mountains or ..
You understand me. If only there wasn’t that money issue.
At least I have the ocean one, check.
Just Do It.
It’s Earth Day.
I know all my Going Ninety Miles peeps are big on saving the world, but maybe step it up one more notch today. Eat leftovers, recycle, bike instead of using the car, start a compost pile, plant a tree!
Or reinstate the phrase – If it’s yellow let it mellow, if it’s brown flush it down.
Have a superb day! XO
Women’s March Signage
THANK YOU! To all the women (and men!) who participated in the Women’s Marches around the world. I got tears in my eyes seeing all the incredible images from Washington D.C. to Paris to Kenya to India! WOW. Thank you for fighting for our rights. Human Rights. And we will continue to fight. I loved all the signs – some funny, some serious and some on animals. 🙂 Here are some of my favorites. GIRL POWER.

War Is (Not) Over
I know it’s almost Christmas time. I know so many of you have hectic lives with a job, children, family and just life in general. But you also are excited for the holidays: the time to be with family, have a little downtime, to wrap presents you picked out especially for your son, your daughter, your best friend, just to see them smile.
But there are children, women, men in Aleppo who REALLY need your help. My heart breaks every time I see a video or read a story about children hurt, children dying, the atrocities that are happening. And I always wonder how can I help? What is the best way to help and see that it is happening. Because they need help NOW. And I have found The Compassion Collective to help with a lightning-fast emergency fund-raiser for immediate and effective on-the-ground assistance to Aleppo. As of Saturday morning they (YOU, WE) have raised $1,168,311.00 for our brothers, sisters and children and Aleppo and Syria. I love this. And my money is sent. Here is the link to help and contribute.
Thinking of Aleppo. Let’s hope war is over soon. Soon the John Lennon video.
Thanks everyone.
