Dear Loved Ones,

Have you been reading the latest climate report from the UN this week?

If you’re looking for any wisdom from us on how to feel about climate these days, I say, however you’re managing your feelings that’s it, that’s right! There is no wrong way to live through this time. Are you choosing to go 100% cognitive dissidence and NOT think about it at all? Cool. Go for it! Are you feeling a lot of despair and don’t want to answer emails? -that’s ok too. I feel you! Are you super motivated to dream and build a new emerging world? Awesome. Do that! I support you 100%. I guess my point is, the future of our world and species are tentative AND we’re expected to go about our ‘work’ and capitalist existence like this sh%$t ain’t happening in front of our eyes. Our governments and leaders seem mired in cr@p or doubling down on extractive harmful systems so… however you feel like existing I’m in support of YOU. If you’re in need of permission I give you all of it. There is no longer room for ‘shoulds’. Do your best, perhaps bring some comfort or joy to those you encounter throughout your day…Build, dream, cry or rest, dance, laugh, hide. I see you and I’m in full support.

xoxo,
