Earth Day

Marking its 56th anniversary with the theme "Our Power, Our Planet," Earth Day 2026 is focusing on collective action and community-led solutions to the climate crisis. Key activities include global cleanups, tree planting, and educational events to promote sustainability. So many ways to get involved. Check out your local community paper, Facebook group, or simply chat with your neighbors about getting together and doing a trash pick up in your neighborhood.  Earth Day is every day at StormSister Spatique.

Note to self - Keep putting it on til it feels pretty. Don't look pretty, feel pretty!

"Do I have too much makeup on?" "My dad doesn't like it when I have makeup on." says girl.

"What he doesn't know, won't hurt him", says same girl very matter-of-factly.

It pleases me that so many women, men and girls feel so very comfortable to share all of those little secrets that spill out in my presence.

Just one of the many things I am thankful for.

Happy New Year.
