When I was in Luna, there was this point where I wanted to give up hope. They had cut down so many trees around me; they had cut down a tree that fell on an activist named David Gypsy Chain and killed him. And that’s the point when I didn’t want to have hope anymore – because I was so angry, and I was in so much pain. I’m not afraid to show my pain because that’s where I know my power is – that I’m willing to keep feeling (and caring) even though it hurts like hell. But in that moment, I didn’t want power; I didn’t want to make a difference; I didn’t want hope. I just wanted to come down and say, forget the world, I just want to take care of myself. But I was praying. And the answer that came to me was: Julia, as long as your heart is committed in action, and you have hope –even if you’re the only one left – then there’s hope in the world. And it’s not hope about something in the future. It’s not about something later on. It’s about who I’m showing up as, right here, right now, every moment of every day. And that’s the only place that hope lives.

Thank you, this came at the prefect time for me. As Sandra says being Presence is the Divine Feminine way to effect change, internally and externally. And in that state of presence to be a strong link for change. Recognizing we must be fully committed through our hearts…. and sometimes our hearts will ROAR with the power of life’s vital force. We have untapped power in these moments; especially when unified in a healed heart, mind, and spirit.
I am in an epic battle right now that could drain me of all hope….. but today despite what seemed like set backs, I journeyed to my guides & power animals…. some powerful women spirit guides for the strength to carry on. What came was not only their reinforcements, but a BIG bear that stood on its hind legs and ROARED !!! ” Stand your ground Wildly ” It roared !
I trust these Spirits implicitly ! Once I came to connect with my guides and power animals, their divine wisdom never fails.
Inward & Onward !

Thank you very much for these heart-rising words! We hope that you’re feeling well, because we are worried not receiving your answer to our e-mails from the Club of Ecological Thoughts, Poland, in the context of meeting online on 13th April 2021. We are asking you to contact prof. Piotr Skubala as soon as possible, thank you in advance!
Hey! The work that you’ve been doing is an inspiration for all of us.
Saving trees should be on every citizen’s priority list.
Our NGO, New Delhi Nature Society works very hard to save the environment.
We launched an app called the Save Trees app with which you can save trees all around
the world.
This app creates a line of communication between the person who finds a tree getting cut and doesn’t know what to do, with the people in the offices who know what to do but don’t know when or where a tree is getting cut.
It can bring a change if we all work together.
It would be great if you check out the app and share your feedback/suggestions with us.
Thank you for your work to help save trees Verhaen. i checked out the app. i am the worst person to give any feedback though because i do my best to avoid technology as much as i can, so i don’t really understand how effective your app might be. But i applaud you for your efforts!
Love,
julia
