Long Beach, CA USA

While out on walks with my beloved doggy, I set an intention everyday to pick up at least 1 piece of trash in my neighborhood. Some days the sheer magnitude of trash left by others day after day can get overwhelming. However, I soldier on and try to lead by example. My hope is to inspire others by seeing me simply bend down and pick up trash.

I found my quilted heart in doing my daily routine of keeping one of our quaint neighborhood parks clean of trash. It felt like a warm hug from the universe and validation to stay the course.

Thank you to the kindness and thoughtfulness to leave this gift for me to find!
