The Little Book of Big Life Change Quotes

“Every day, I crave loving communion with this planet.
I speak with her.
I listen to her.
I touch her.
I soften against her touch.
I celebrate her.
I hand over my visions and my dreams, and I trust in hers.
I pray for balance and for healing; for her; for us—one and the same.”

No maybes, no plan B’s or C’s, no only if it’s easy or only if you have the resources to start, no playing small, no holding back, no second guessing whether you deserve it or can live up to the dream. None of this. Just ask for it, and know that it is coming.”

“The journey of food, from forest or field to plate to being, is full of wonder and magic. It grows, nourishes, and sustains us in ways that are both miraculous and often taken for granted. Becoming attentive and, as an inevitable result, grateful deepens our awareness of and appreciation for life and the responsibility that we each have to care for the world around us.”

“We realize that food is not just food in its physical expression. It becomes the essence of what it was and what it will become, carrying with it—into our cells, into our sense of selves—the energy that it has been imbued with throughout its journey.”
