Puzzles, Part 2: A Plan

I don't know about you, but I love the clarity and
focus of a puzzle. I start with the edges and
move on to specific colors or scenes.

 Sometimes I have to change my
perspective or walk away and come back later.
It's amazing how even then, it can be hard
to see what is sitting right
​in front of you. 

Like these gaps.
I spent hours looking...I sorted the
pieces by shape and color and still had no luck.
Then my husband showed up and in
less than two minutes, these
​three holes were filled.

At first, I was mad.
How dare he come along and 
​make it look so easy? 

And then, I remember.
That's what makes a second opinion
or a second set of eyes so valuable. New perspectives
make something seemingly difficult
appear simple and self-evident.
How cool is that?

So in my last post
I talked about Reparations and 
Carbon Offsets and how excited I am to 
share my family's offsets with our local Advance Transit.

It was easy to go online and set up sustaining monthly
donations. We've amortized what we owe, so we'll
pay off our travel debt over time,
while also supporting
​an invaluable local
resource.

When I think
about climate action,
I realize it's all about sharing - 
not just the financial resources we may have,
but also our time, ideas and points of view. It turns out that
collaboration is critical, but so is having a plan, like
strategies for a jig-saw puzzle, or methods for
paying carbon debts we didn't even
realize we had.

I may be an artist,
but I am also a planner and, 
rumor has it, a motivating teacher. So I've
created an online 'class' that inspires people to dive
deep, take control, and find joy as they
participate in guided action
throughout 2019.
​Stay tuned...
If you are looking for a climate action plan, I've got one for you.
