October To-Do-List

I have had a lot of questions about the things we do month by month to help not only maintain but add to our system.
 
While the best time to have ‘planted a tree’ was 20 years ago, the next best time to start is now.
Each little thing we do can and will help increase our ability to build resilient, regenerative and abundant lives.
