Tonight I sit on the porch in the thunder and the rain and the lightning flashing, and I see I now have 111 Followers on Steemit!! Woo, hoo! This number is significant for me for many reasons. Cosmic beat, y'all....Plus...
Last year, when I was pregnant waiting for my daughter Eve to join us in this windy stormy world, I read an article about a village in India which plants 111 trees for the birth of all baby girls. I pledged to do the same, whether she be boy or girl. This year, we planted almost 700 trees here at Lunasi - Mainly Oaks (5 kinds), Sycamore, River Birch, & Chestnuts - Here we come, Piggies!! So I've reached my goal and then some, which I am feeling quite proud of, if I do say so myself!
111 Followers in the 1st Month on Steemit! 111+ Trees for Eve! 1 Year of life to celebrate this week as she almost walks boldly into the unknown that is this life that awaits her. May we leave this wild and wondrous world a better place for her, and all children. That is my hope for humanity.
I think there is a huge potential here on Steemit to leverage the collective brilliance toward nothing short of planetary regeneration. I'm just trying to do my part over here in the Endless Mountains. Just sayin'...
Have any of you ever set ambitious goals like this and succeeded? I want to hear about it!
So keep on digging me, Steemit, I still dig you just fine! Happy to be here with y'all! Thrilled to be alive!
Happy Almost Birthday, Baby Girl! You are Rockin' It!
Love,
Lily
Wow. Great. Wonderful. Great family. Great photos. May your trees live long and prosper like Spock in Star Trek. I've never heard of people planting trees in honor of newborn babies. This is something that more people should do.
Shucks, I'm blushing. Thanks! I agree :)
OH my gosh Lily---I love this!! It is a rare person who would follow through with such a promise. How beautiful it is and that you are giving something really great to our planet and to your baby!!
I'm grateful to feel how you are walking the walk. Let's indeed leave this world a better place for the children! This is my hope as well. We are doing it already and as others begin to feel the possibilities, many things will change. I am grateful to do this dance with you @ladylunasi. Upvoting and following you!!! Thanks for finding me.
... proud Mum! Thanks for the post.
Sure Am! Will do!
Wow .... You are really great.
Aw, thanks!
