As we change ourselves, we change the world.

This video is a beautiful reminder of why our own well being + internal balance is so critical in order for us to create radical improvements in our environment…so that our children + grandchildren + all the creatures of the world have the opportunity to live in a land of abundance + natural beauty.

The message of this video is at the heart of my WHY for creating my biz.

When I returned home from my Climate Leader Training with Al Gore and the Climate Reality crew in August 2012, I felt overwhelmed with the new depth of understanding I had gained about our absolute decimation of our external environment. Truly, I was a bit depressed. Never in my life had I felt hopeless before.

It took me close to three months before I could even really start to share what I had learned + express my learning in a hopeful way to help others connect the dots + be part of the solution.

In my heart, I believe that improving our relationship to our natural environment is the most important thing we can do. As I worked to spread the word, I realized that so many people just don’t care…they are too consumed with the internal challenges they face to even have time or energy to be concerned with what’s going on outside of their own minds + lives.

This new awareness propelled me to focus on how I could best contribute to our environmental well being…and I realized that helping people love + care for themselves is the first step toward helping people truly love + care for others AND for our Mother Earth.

My first vision + inspiration: Love yourself. Love each other. Love our Mother.

I started the Love Our Mother FB group to encourage + inspire people to grow more aware of how our thoughts + words + deeds are shaping the reality that future generations will face. And to remind people that we have the power to change. {Do join us by clicking the link above if you feel moved to be part of this love revolution!}

Giving up + accepting defeat + feeling hopeless just is not an option. We must persevere + do our best to make positive change…for ourselves, for our babies, and for the well being of all creatures who follow us.

And so, I created my title ~ Happiness Artist ~ and decided to share my vision with the world.

I am on a mission to elevate our own internal well being, not only for the sake of helping people feel happier {though that is absolutely a beautiful + central purpose!}, but also to help people create space in their minds + lives to care about something greater than themselves.

Balance + well being in our outside world begins within…

Thank you, beautiful dreamers, for reading + watching.

I truly hope you’ll share this + be part of the change.

p.s. More hope recently…read Al Gore’s brilliantly inspired article in Rolling Stone here. You’ll appreciate the optimism + possibility + solution focused vision.
