There are three components to Roots and Shoots; helping animals, the environment and one's community. Today the kids worked on decorating a shoebox, filling it with necessities they brought (combs, washcloths, soap, toothbrush, bubbles) and a toy from their house that was suitable to give. The boxes will be going to a local organization. They worked really hard creating a beautiful gift, it was wonderful to see them so dedicated to doing their best.
When you do things from your soul you feel a river moving in you, a joy.
Rumi
From catching frogs to star gazing, baking to day tripping, jumping off the dock to story telling, homeschooling to adjusting to bears in the yard, each day is an adventure and an attempt to live soulfully. The real joy for me comes from doing it with my 'crew'; Elias (12yo), Ben (10yo), Aria (8yo), Shai (4yo) and my partner Chris.
