Welcome to 13 Tons of Love

a weekly dose of visual joy and reflective meanderings for all who subscribe…

Why subscribe?

Because there is joy in the compost pile,

wonder in the garden,

and the possibility for everyday transformation…

And because micro-climate actions (like composting, re-making an old dress, and planting pollinator friendly gardens) offer invitations for personal regeneration, transformation and renewal.

Believe me, I’ve been working at this for 20 years, trying to combat eco-anxiety, the guilt of privilege and general climate over-whelm.

In our community…

and at home.

But who knew that cultivating resilience could bring such joy not just for me,

But also for all those I love, human and non-humans alike?

Why would you care about what I’ve got to say?

Because I’m the kind of person who composts disintegrating books…

and Harvard diplomas,

makes handmade frames out of apple branches from her yard,

and dances in snowstorms.

And why, you’re wondering, is this called 13 Tons of Love?

You’ll just have to read my newsletter to find out.

Hint: It has something to do with compost…

and my mother.

Subscribe so you never miss an update on this ongoing narrative.
